OBJECTIVES Authors investigated the pattern of the rate of occupational injuries and illnesses (ROII) at the level of enterprises in order to build a network for exchange of experience and knowledge, which would contribute to workers' safety and health through safety climate of workplace. METHODS Occupational accidents were analyzed at the manufacturing work site unit. A two step clustering p...

The theory of the periodic structure of nth-order statistics of cyclostationary time-series is developed. This theory is the generalization of the existing theory of the periodic structure of second-order moments of cyclostationary time-series to orders greater than two and is therefore called the theory of higher-order cyclostationarity. The theory’s central parameters are moments and cumulant...

35th ANNIVERSARY ISSUE Sinusoidal vibration testing has evolved over the years for many good reasons. Initially, from a military standpoint, a predominant part of vibration excitation was from propeller driven aircraft. Here, system resonances could easily be excited during runup, or in the more unfortunate circumstance, during sustained operation at flight speed. Although there initially was o...

Different types of sinc integrals are investigated when the standard sine function is replaced by generalised sinp,q in two parameters. A striking generalisation improper Dirichlet integral achieved. second surprising but interesting identity between and that integrand sinc2 discovered. Moreover, an asymptotically sharpened form Ball's inequality obtained terms

Short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs) are dispersed repetitive DNA sequences that are major components of all mammalian genomes. They have been described in almost all lineages of Euarchontoglires (rodents, rabbits, primates, flying lemurs, and tree shrews), except in flying lemurs. Most SINE family members are composed of three distinct regions: a 5' tRNA-related region, a tRNA-unrelated...

The template matching prediction is an established approach to intra-frame coding that makes use of previously coded pixels in the same frame for reference. It compares the previously reconstructed upper and left boundaries in searching from the reference area the best matched block for prediction, and hence eliminates the need of sending additional information to reproduce the same prediction ...

A full-sine (biphasic) pulse waveform is most commonly used for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), but little is known about how variations in duration or amplitude of distinct pulse segments influence the effectiveness of a single TMS pulse to elicit a corticomotor response. Using a novel TMS device, we systematically varied the configuration of full-sine pulses to assess the ...

Although recent mammalian genome projects have uncovered a large part of genomic component of various groups, several repetitive sequences still remain to be characterized and classified for particular groups. The short interspersed repetitive elements (SINEs) distributed among marsupial genomes are one example. We have identified and characterized two new SINEs from marsupial genomes that belo...
