After injuries, following hip and knee surgery, or because of partial spinal cord lesion, people are dependent on walking aids like crutches to unload the lower extremities. However, the mechanical load, transferred to the shoulder, has only been calculated by mathematical models with strong varying results [1]. In vivo measurements of the shoulder joint loads are therefore necessary to improve...

Virtual machine (VM) placement is very important for cloud platforms. While techniques, such as live virtual machine migration, are very useful to balance the load in the data centers, they are expensive operations. In this position paper, we propose to minimize the chance of the load hot spots in the data center by applying the workload patterns of the VMs in the virtual machine placement algo...

In mobile networks, Location Area (LA) planning has a strong influence on network performance. This paper addresses the problem of optimising an existing LA plan in a live GSMEDGE Radio Access Network (GERAN) based on statistical measurements. Unlike prior work, where the quality of an LA plan was assessed based on the number of location update and paging requests, the main focus in this paper ...

Spill code is the overhead of memory load/store behavior if the available registers are not sufficient to map live ranges during the process of register allocation. Previously, works have been proposed to reduce spill code for the unified register file. For reducing power and cost in design of VLIW DSP processors, distributed register files and multibank register architectures are being adopted...

In current study, we evaluated the safety and protective efficacy of recombinant unglycosylated RSV G protein ectodomain produced in E. coli (in presence and absence of oil-in-water adjuvant) in a preclinical RSV susceptible cotton rat challenge model compared to formaldehyde inactivated RSV (FI-RSV) and live RSV experimental infection. The adjuvanted G protein vaccine induced robust neutraliza...

OBJECTIVE The purpose was to determine if Soldier rucksack load, marching distance, and average heart rate (HR) during shooting affect the probability of hitting the target. BACKGROUND Infantry Soldiers routinely carry heavy rucksack loads and are expected to engage enemy targets should a threat arise. METHOD Twelve male Soldiers performed two 11.8 km marches in forested terrain at 4.3 km/h...
