In tidally affected coastal catchments detention pond should be provided to store flood surface water. A comparison between the full simulation approach based on the joint probability method and time series rainfall modeling via the annual maximum of pond level was undertaken to investigate the assumptions of independence between variables that are necessary in the joint probability method. The...

the renewable energy resources such as wind power have recently attracted more researchers’ attention. it is mainly due to the aggressive energy consumption, high pollution and cost of fossil fuels. in this era, the future fluctuations of these time series should be predicted to increase the reliability of the power network. in this paper, the dynamic characteristics and short-term predictabili...

background: functional electrical stimulation (fes) is the most commonly used system for restoring functions after spinal cord injury (sci). objective: in this study we investigated feedback pid and feedforward-feedback p-pid controllers for regulating the elbow joint angle. methods: the controllers were tuned based on a nonlinear muculoskeletal model containing two links, one joint with one de...

aim: abnormal joint mobility is an important factor in movement dysfunction and physical disability. a general lack of descriptive details exists for measurements of hip rotation range of motion (rom). this study was designed to establish the influence of hip position on active and passive range of motion of the hip in external and internal rotation(ext & int rot). material & methods: ...

in this research, the influence of bolt preload on the fatigue strength of 2024-t3 aluminium alloy double lap bolted joints has been studied experimentally and numerically. to do so, three sets of the specimens were prepared and each of them subjected to tightening torque of 1,2.5 and 5 n-m and then fatigue tests were conducted under various cyclic axial load levels. in the numerical method, th...

abstract   background: sacroiliac joint (sij) dysfunction is a widely known but poorly defined   cause of low back pain. to our knowledge, few published studies have been   conducted to evaluate systematically the prevalence and significance of concomitant   sacroiliac joint dysfunction in patients with herniated lumbar discs. as concomitant   sij dysfunction in low back pain patients is likely...
