In the past researches, scholars have carried out short-term prediction for wind speed. The present work deals with long-term wind speed prediction, required for hybrid power generation design and contract planning. As the total database is quite large for long-term prediction, feature extraction of data by application of Lifting wavelet coefficients are exploited, along with soft computing tec...

Lifting is a procedure for deriving valid inequalities formixed-integer sets from valid inequalities for suitable restrictions of those sets. Lifting has been shown to be very effective in developing strong valid inequalities for linear integer programming and it has been successfully used to solve such problems with branch-and-cut algorithms. Here we generalize the theory of lifting to conic i...

A computer driven technique to analyze lifting forces, in non-homogeneous load situations, is described and tested. Analysis is based on a dynamic algorithm aimed to evaluate unconstrained lifting posture and non-homogeneous content of loads. For inputs we use actual geometrical body postures in the form of 3-dimensional co-ordinates obtained from pictures taken at a work site. The outputs show...

In this short note, we observe that the techniques of [WWE15] can be used to provide a new proof of some of the residually reducible modularity lifting results of Skinner and Wiles [SW99]. In these cases, we have found that a deformation ring of ordinary pseudorepresentations is equal to the Eisenstein local component of a Hida Hecke algebra. We also show that Vandiver’s conjecture implies Shar...

We propose a novel approach for light field compression that incorporates disparity compensation into 4-D wavelet coding using disparity-compensated lifting. With this approach, we obtain the benefits of wavelet coding, including compression efficiency and scalability in all dimensions. Additionally, our proposed approach solves the irreversibility limitations of previous wavelet coding approac...

The role of the compression is to reduce bandwidth requirements for transmission requirements for storage of all forms of data as it would not be practical to put images, audio, video alone on websites without compression. The medical community has many applications in image compression often involving various types of diagnost due to its multi resolution and scaling property. Among the various...

The use of the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) for the JPEG2000 image compression standard has sparked interest in the design of fast, efficient hardware implementations of the perfect reconstruction filter bank used for computing the DWT. The accuracy and efficiency with which the filter coefficients are quantized in a multiplierless implementation impacts the image compression and hardware p...

We developed an evidence-based practice guideline to support occupational safety and health (OSH) professionals in assessing the risk due to lifting and in selecting effective preventive measures for low back pain (LBP) in the Netherlands. The guideline was developed at the request of the Dutch government by a project team of experts and OSH professionals in lifting and work-related LBP. The re...

The main objective of the study was to model the electromyographic (EMG) responses for 10 trunk muscles in manual-lifting tasks using the fuzzy relational rule network (FRRN). The FRRN utilized trunk-related variables, including sagittal and lateral trunk moments, pelvic tilt and pelvic rotation angles, and sagittal, lateral, and twist trunk angles as model inputs. The EMG data for model traini...

L5/S1, hip and knee moments during manual lifting tasks are, in a laboratory environment, frequently established by bottom-up inverse dynamics, using force plates to measure ground reaction forces (GRFs) and an optoelectronic system to measure segment positions and orientations. For field measurements, alternative measurement systems are being developed. One alternative is the use of small body...
