This study examined the effect of seat position on handrim biomechanics. Thirteen experienced users propelled a wheelchair over a smooth level floor at a self-selected speed. Kinetic and temporal-distance data were collected with the use of an instrumented rim and a motion analysis system. A custom-designed axle was used to change the seat position. We used repeated measures analysis of varianc...

Currently, for the display of synthetic and archived multimedia movies and clips, buffers are managed at the server end (push mode), at the client end (pull mode), or in the push-pull mode to avoid excessive server side disk access time, avoid hot spots for multiple disk accesses for the same media objects, and/or to smoothen the effect of variations in transmission delay. However, the current ...

[1] A sensitivity analysis reveals that large uncertainty exists in estimates of solute retardation factor R made from sorption push-pull tests. A simplified push-pull data interpretation method for estimating instantaneous linear sorption in confined aquifers is developed. The new method is less restrictive in its application than the conventional method that uses an approximate analytical sol...

the aim of this study was to compare the effect of an acidic environment on dislocation resistance (push-out bond strength) of endosequence root repair material (errm putty and errm paste), a new bioceramic-based material, to that of mineral tri-oxide aggregate (mta).one-hundred twenty root dentin slices with standardized canal spaces were divided into 6 groups (n = 20 each) and filled with too...

Web Usage Mining enables new understanding of user goals on the Web. This understanding has broad applications, and traditional mining techniques such as association rules have been used in business applications. We have developed an automated method to directly infer the major groupings of user traffic on a Web site [Heer01]. We do this by utilizing multiple data features in a clustering analy...
