In this case, hospitals are considered as the important and final stage of health service supply chain. Consequently, quality of health services offered by hospitals has a straight impact on the safety of individuals. Methods: </st...

Optimization of Long Jump Landing Motion using Musculoskeletal System Simulation

Biomechanical modeling of the musculoskeletal system has become an important issue in human motion analysis. The scope of this paper is focused on the optimization of long jump landing using musculoskeletal system. In the long jump, athletes are affected by the dynamics of the sand pit that is different from a hard surface in the landing phase. Therefore, in order to obtain a good landing motio...

Performance Optimization of Throttled Time-Warp Simulation

While constraining the speculation in Time Warp (TW) tends to decrease the number of false event executions, it also introduces an opportunity cost when the processing elements are not fully utilized due to insu cient workload. To obtain good runtime performance such a trade-o must be optimized. This paper studies the implications of regulating speculation in TW, and develops an analytic framew...
