background : experts and staff of rehabilitation centers often do their activities without following the appropriate ergonomic principles and the correct methods of manual load handling. therefore, gradually and with the repetition of these activities they place themselves at risk of musculoskeletal disorders. the aim of this research is the assessment of lifting capacity by the niosh equation ...

conclusions the viral load in patients who suffer from cchf has a direct significant correlation with disease severity. viral load above 8.6 × 105 copies/ml on the first day of admission is a predictor of severe cchf. background crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever (cchf) is an endemic disease in south eastern of iran, especially in sistan and baluchestan province. cchf is a potentially fatal diseas...

Using electric vehicles, in addition to decreasing the environmental concerns, can play an important role in decreasing the peak and filling the off-peaks of the daily load characteristics. In other words, in smart grids' infrastructure, the load characteristics can be improved by scheduling the charge and discharge process of electric vehicles. In smart grids, the customers are instantaneously...

Introduction: Dietary acid load contributes to metabolic acidosis, closely linked to cancer development through inflammation and cell transformation. There is very limited epidemiologic evidence; linking diet-dependent acid load and cancer risk. Since there are few published studies specifically on urinary pH and bladder cancer (BC) risk, we sought to explore this association in the present stud...

The proposal lateral load pattern for pushover analysis is given in two forms for symmetric concrete buildings: 1-(X/H)0.5 for low-rise and mid-rise buildings, 2- Sin(ΠX/H) for high-rise buildings. These two forms give more realistic results as compared to conventional load patterns such as triangular and uniform load patterns. The assumed buildings of 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 30 story concrete bui...

dynamic economic load dispatch is one of the most important roles of power generation’s operation and control. it determines the optimal controls of production of generator units with predicted load demand over a certain period of time. economic dispatch at minimum production cost is one of the most important subjects in the power network’s operation, which is a complicated nonlinear constraine...

with the development of restructured power systems and increase of prices in some hours of day and increase fuel price, demand response programs were noticed more by customers. demand response consists of a series of activities that governments or utilities design to change the amount or time of electric energy consumption, to achieve better social welfare or some times for maximizing the benef...
