Many people continue suffering from myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) defined as a regional pain syndrome characterized by muscle pain caused by myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) clinically. Muscle spasm and block of blood circulation can be noticed in the taut bands. In the MTrP region, nociceptors can be sensitized by the peripheral inflammatory factors and contracture of fascia can also be indu...

Introduction High frequency lateral tape motion (LTM) is a problem in tape technology that limits track density in a tape drive. To reduce high frequency LTM, it is important to identify all sources of lateral tape motion. The most important sources of high frequency LTM are edge contact between tape and tape drive components, non-repeatable roller axial run-out, air induced flutter and tape te...

Today large amounts of data are stored on tertiary storage media such as magnetic tapes and optical disks. DBMSs typically operate only on magnetic disks since they know how to maneuver disks and how to optimize accesses on them. Tertiary devices present a problem for DBMSs since these devices have dismountable media and have very diier-ent operational characteristics compared to magnetic disks...
