Gait measures are used to evaluate change in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), but reliability has not been fully established in this population. This study examined test-retest reliability of knee angle and moment gait waveform characteristics captured using discrete parameters and principal component analysis (PCA) in individuals with moderate knee OA. Participants (n=20) underwent thre...

Specifications of protocols usually involve several parameters, for example the number of retransmissions or the timeout delays. The properties satisfied by the protocol depend often on the relation between these parameters. Automatic synthesis of such relations becomes a difficult problem when the constraints are too complex, e.g., non-linear expressions between integer and/or real parameters....

Microprocessor systems with high reliability are used for control responsible processes in transport, industry, military work, security systems and other areas. The targets of this paper are dependable structures with continuous reservation. It is suggested mathematical models and comparative analysis with aim to establish the conditions and parameters at which corresponded structure haves high...

This paper presents a component based software reliability model. The proposed model provides software system reliability estimates from the reliability of software components and the usage ratio of each component. Issues relating to the techniques for estimating the model parameters are discussed and the assumptions of the model are investigated. A component impact analysis method which could ...

BACKGROUND Although many studies on reliability and reproducibility of measurement have been performed on coronal Cobb angle, few results about reliability and reproducibility are reported on sagittal alignment measurement including the pelvis. We usually use SurgimapSpine software to measure the Cobb angle in our studies; however, there are no reports till date on its reliability and reproduci...

*Correspondence: Arun Kumar Nayak, Reactor Design and Development Group, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Trombay, Mumbai 400085, India e-mail: [email protected] Reliability assessment of passive safety systems is one of the important issues, since safety of advanced nuclear reactors rely on several passive features. In this context, a few methodologies such as reliability evaluation of passive...

a reliability analysis of suspension bridges against buffeting failure due to gustiness of wind velocity is carried out using the concept of pra (probabilistic risk analysis) procedure. for this purpose, the bending stresses at the critical nodes of the bridge deck are obtained for buffeting forces using a spectral analysis technique and a finite element approach. for the purpose of reliability...

Structural noise is an important factor that endangers aircraft fatigue life and flight safety. It also has a negative effect on aircraft stealth performance and noise navigability. An optimal design of a structure-acoustic coupled system is an effective way to reduce noise and vibration. Due to the uncertainties that exist in the structural and acoustical parameters, the traditional determinis...
