Granular Pile Anchor (GPA) considers one of the solution foundation techniques, designed to mitigate the lifting of the sole resulting from expansive soils. This study work is to investigate the uplift movement response of (GPA) in expansive soil. The laboratory tests have been performed on an experimental. The effects of several parameters, such as length (L) of (GPA) and diameter (D), the thi...

OBJECTIVE To assess the biomechanical evidence in support of advocating the squat lifting technique as an administrative control to prevent low back pain. BACKGROUND Instruction with respect to lifting technique is commonly employed to prevent low back pain. The squat technique is the most widely advised lifting technique. Intervention studies failed to show health effects of this approach an...

BACKGROUND In this study, kinematics and kinetics of the lower extremity joint and the lumbar lordosis during two different symmetrical lifting techniques(squat and stoop) were examined using the three-dimensional motion analysis. METHODS Twenty-six young male volunteers were selected for the subjects in this study. While they lifted boxes weighing 5, 10 and 15 kg by both squat and stoop lift...

In this paper, we identify rich tractable classes of Weighted Constraint Satisfaction Problems (WCSPs). Our results stem from employing a set of transformation techniques—referred to as “Lifting”—that considers each constraint locally. We show that, in general, WCSPs are reducible to minimum weighted vertex cover problems in tripartite graphs; and many tractable classes of WCSPs can be recogniz...

Many AI applications need to explicitly represent relational structure as well as handle uncertainty. First order probabilistic models combine the power of logic and probability to deal with such domains. A naive approach to inference in these models is to propositionalize the whole theory and carry out the inference on the ground network. Lifted inference techniques (such as lifted belief prop...

In the vein of recent algorithmic advances in polynomial factorization based on lifting and recombination techniques, we present new faster algorithms for computing the absolute factorization of a bivariate polynomial. The running time of our probabilistic algorithm is less than quadratic in the dense size of the polynomial to be factored.

This paper presents a comprehensive review that highlights the characteristics of non-isolated step-up converters based on high boost voltage lifting techniques. The categorises techniques: multistage/multilevel, switched capacitor, multiplier, lift, inductor and magnetic coupling. also discusses in detail advantages disadvantages for each category such as cost, complexity, power density, relia...

In this paper we proposed fast and accurate interpolation and resizing of images using lifting scheme approach. 5/3 lifting scheme is an accurate and computationally inexpensive interpolation technique for image resizing. We compared the bilinear interpolation, Haar lifting scheme and 5/3 lifting scheme in this paper. The lifting scheme algorithm is applied for image interpolation to resize the...

Manual lifting is one of the common practices used in the industries to transport or move objects to a desired place. Nowadays, even though mechanized equipment is widely available, manual lifting is still considered as an essential way to perform material handling task. Improper lifting strategies may contribute to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), where overexertion contributes as the highest...
