En esta investigación se estudia el comportamiento de una estructura un grado libertad sometida a excitación sísmica estocástica alto contenido frecuencias, la cual es controlada por amortiguador columna líquido sintonizado (ACLS) óptimo, cuando introduce incertidumbre en algunos parámetros del sistema. Se analiza influencia los óptimos ACLS, eficiencia medida como reducción desplazami...

INTRODUCTION Mounting evidence suggests that high-fidelity mannequin-based (HFMBS) and computer-based simulation are useful adjunctive educational tools for advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) instruction. We sought to determine whether access to a supplemental, online computer-based ACLS simulator would improve students' performance on a standardized Mega Code using high-fidelity mannequin ba...

The Advanced Closed Loop System (ACLS) is currently under development by Airbus Defense and Space and is slated for launch to the International Space Station (ISS) in 2017. The addition of new hardware into an already complex system such as the ISS life support system (LSS) always poses operational risks. It is therefore important to understand the impacts ACLS will have on the existing systems...

We introduce an ultrasound elastography method for examining the ACL. It consisted of imaging the distal ACL while applying a drawer test and analyzing the resulting displacement and strain maps, where a map refers to how a variable is distributed spatially throughout an image. Our method was applied to healthy knees of cadaveric sheep to determine whether 1) our method can consistently generat...

This paper presents the results of a UK national survey of Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) training for undergraduate medical students. In all responding medical schools, undergraduates are taught BLS at least once during their course but the assessment and refresher aspects of BLS training are not uniformly covered. There are inconsistencies in ACLS teaching, ...

We have determined whether somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) were detectable after direct mechanical stimulation of normal, injured and reconstructed anterior cruciate ligaments (ACLs) during arthroscopy. We investigated the position sense of the knee before and after reconstruction, and correlated the SEP with instability. Reproducible SEPs were detected in all 19 normal ACLs and in 36 of...

A ne control loops (acls) comprise an important class of computeand data-intensive computations. The theoretical framework for the automatic parallelization of acls is well established. However, the hardware compilation of arbitrary acls is still in its infancy. An important component for an e cient hardware implementation is a control mechanism that informs each processing element (pe) which c...
