The backpack is one of the several forms of manual load carriage that provides versatility and is often used by bikers, backpackers and soldiers, as well as school students. However, musculoskeletal problems associated with backpack use have become an increasing concern with school children . The combined effects of heavy load, position of the load on the body, size and shape of the load, load ...

A parallel computer system is a collection of processing elements that communicate and cooperate to solve large computational problems efficiently. To achieve this, at first the large computational problem is partitioned into several tasks with different work-loads and then are assigned to the different processing elements for computation. Distribution of the work load is known as Load Balancin...

Fatigue strength of cross-shaped specimens of SPR joints made of SPCC was evaluated at load angles of 0°, 45°, and 90°. For the static strength at load angles of 0°, 45°, and 90°, the maximum loads were determined to be 4890N, 1969N, and 1611N, respectively. Regarding for the relationship between the load amplitude and the number of cycles (Nf), the results were 014 . 0 3 . 2209 − = f amp N P ,...

Effect of static load on activity of motor centers controlling motor activity (walking, flight) was studied in the American cockroach Periplaneta americana L. It has been established that under effect of load on the animal body the relative excitability of these centers increases. A suggestion is put forward about the presence of common neuronal elements in the generator networks providing moto...

This paper discusses the data distribution problem for inherently sequential algorithms, such as the LU factorization in linear algebra, when computed on heterogeneous machines. These algorithms present additional difficulties to optimize the processing time due to the fact that the computational load for data matrix columns increases with their index, requiring a fine tuned load assignment and...

a nonlocal beam model based on the bernoulli–euler beam theory is presented to investigate the dynamic stability of embedded single-walled carbon nanotubes (swcnts) in thermal environment under combined static and periodic axial loads. the dynamic stability analysis is carried out by including the effects of small-scale parameter, temperature change and elastic medium. the equation of motion is...
