ground vibrations during an earthquake can severely damage structures and equipments housed in them. many factors including earthquake magnitude, distance from the fault or epicenter, duration of strong shaking, soil condition of the site, and the frequency content of the motion define the properties of ground motion and its amplification. a deep understanding of the effects of these factors on...

background loss of motion is a well-known complication after elbow trauma and in severe cases, arthrolysis of elbow is the procedure of choice. the posterior approach might have some advantages especially in post-traumatic patients who have undergone the same surgical approach in the past. objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the short-term outcomes of elbow arthrolysis through post...

the large amount of computation necessary for obtaining time optimal solution for moving a manipulator on specified path has made it impossible to introduce an on line time optimal control algorithm. most of this computational burden is due to calculation of switching points. in this paper a learning algorithm is proposed for finding the switching points. the method, which can be used for both ...

in this paper mathematical structure of time-dependent lagrangian systems and their symmetries are extended and the explicit relation between constants of motion and infinitesimal symmetries of time-dependent lagrangian systems are considered. starting point is time-independent lagrangian systems ,then we extend mathematical concepts of these systems such as equivalent lagrangian systems to the...
