the near field ground motions have a high amplitude pulse like at the beginning of the seismogram which are significantly influenced by the rupture mechanism and direction of rupture propagation. this type of ground motion cause higher demands for engineering structures and its response spectrum is dramatically different than far field spectra. tabriz is one of the ancient cities in azerbaijan ...

Background. Effective kick-topspin serving in tennis requires power to transfer mechanical energy through a kinematic chain from different parts of the body that is directly related to the kinetics of the joints. Energy flow analysis is a powerful tool for observing the mechanical energy transfer through the body parts. Objectives. This research aimed to study the correlation and predictive ab...

We investigate small deviation properties of Gaussian random fields in the space Lq(R N , μ) where μ is an arbitrary finite compactly supported Borel measure. Of special interest are hereby “thin” measures μ, i.e., those which are singular with respect to the N–dimensional Lebesgue measure; the so–called self–similar measures providing a class of typical examples. For a large class of random fi...

THE ROOTS OF MODERN motion analysis can be traced back to photographer Eadweard Muybridge who used his invention, the zoopraxiscope, to project sequential motions onto a screen so they appeared in motion. At the University of Pennsylvania, he studied animals and human volunteers. To gain insight into uncommon human motion he also recruited patients with physical disabilities from a nearby hospi...
