Greenwich and Jahr-Schaffrath (1995) introduced an index Cpp, a simple transformation of the index C∗ pm, which provides an uncontaminated separation between information concerning the process accuracy and process precision. Unfortunately, the index Cpp inconsistently measures process capability in many cases and thus reflects process potential and performance inaccurately. In this paper, we co...

In motor control, the general view is still that spinal interneurons mainly contribute to reflexes and automatic movements. The question raised here is whether spinal interneurons can mediate the cortical command for independent finger movements, like a precision grip between the thumb and index finger in the macaque monkey, or if this function depends exclusively on a direct corticomotoneurona...

the purpose of this study is to identify the barriers of application of precision farming in the view of agricultural researchers in khouzestan province. the research method was survey. agricultural researchers in khouzestan province considered as statistical population (n=136). all researchers considered as sample size by census method.  after designing and validating the questionnaire, the qu...

With the rapid development of earth observation, satellite navigation, mobile communication, and other technologies, order magnitude spatial data we acquire accumulate is increasing, higher requirements are put forward for application storage data. As a new form management, global discrete grid can be used efficient large-scale data, which digital multiresolution georeference model that helps t...

Potential evapotranspiration (PET) is a key parameter for calculating drought monitoring index that generally difficult to obtain. In addition, PET has low spatial resolution and can only be obtained at site-based point. Therefore, retrieving with high precision, resolution, less meteorological data becomes the focus of this paper. paper, high-precision high-spatial-resolution (HDM) model was e...

in this study an innovatively designed tractor-mounted, ground-wheel driven, triple unit, row crop precision planter capable of planting three rows of garlic (allium sativum l.) cloves on each raised bed was designed, fabricated and tested. the major components of this planter include; chassis and transport wheels, lister-bedder unit, seed hopper, seed metering drum, sweeper, knocker, seed tube...

Multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) that deals with multiple criteria in decision-making environments has been explicitly applied to various decision-making fields. Nevertheless, the critical issues of uncertainty and inaccuracy generally and gradually exists in the majority of the MCDM processes because of (1) prejudice and preference of decision-makers or experts as well as (2) the insuf...

BACKGROUND Many methods exist to describe coactivation between muscles. However, most methods have limited capability in the assessment of coactivation during complex dynamic tasks for multi-muscle systems such as the lumbar spine. The ability to assess coactivation is important for the understanding of neuromuscular inefficiency. In the context of this manuscript, inefficiency is defined as th...
