BACKGROUND Adequate application of the static and dynamic anthropometric measures of pre-school children in ergonometric design of children's playground equipment should eliminate all dangers and difficulties in their use. Possibilities of injuries, insecure movements, discomfort able positions and some other dangerous actions may be minimized; and safety and health protection of pre-school chi...

-The TCP window size value, which is contained in the window size field of the TCP segment is a very important TCP Parameter. The window size value determines the number of bytes of data that can be sent before an acknowledgement from the reciever is necessary. If the window size field value is made too small, the performance deteriorates. This will slow throughput considerably. On the other ha...

[Purpose] To compare the lower limb joint range of motion and muscle length between different types of foot posture, and determine the correlation of range of motion and muscle length with balance performance. [Subjects and Methods] Ninety individuals (age, 65.2±4.6 years) were assessed using the Foot Posture Index to determine their type of foot (Normal [0 to +5], pronated [+6 to +9], and supi...

Cloud providers employ sophisticated virtualization techniques and strategies for sharing resources among a high number of largely uncoordinated and mutually untrusted customers. The shared networking environment, in particular, dictates the need for mechanisms to partition network resources among virtual machines. At the same time, the performance of applications deployed over these virtual ma...

LASSO is a useful method for achieving both shrinkage and variable selection simultaneously. The main idea of LASSO is to use the L1 constraint in the regularization step which has been applied to various models such as wavelets, kernel machines, smoothing splines, and multiclass logistic models. We call such models with the L1 constraint generalized LASSO models. In this paper, we propose a ne...

the present article discusses and presents a new and comprehensive approachaimed at measuring the maturity and quality of software processes. this method has beendesigned on the basis of the software capability maturity model (sw-cmm) and themulti-level fuzzy inference model and is used as a measurement and analysis tool. among themost important characteristics of this method one can mention si...

Direct Volume Rendering is a popular technique for visu alization of D datasets that o ers many advantages over other algo rithms but requires important computing power E cient parallelization is therefore an essential need Taking advantage of an existing LAN in stead of using a dedicated parallel architecture can be a cost e ective solution However this requires special attention in algorithm ...
