Chronic groin pain is one the most complex conditions encountered in the field of sports medicine. Conservative treatment is long lasting and the result of treatment is often uncer- tain and symptom recurrences are common, which can be very frustrating for both the patient and the physician. The complex etiology and uncertainties during treatment of chronic groin pain is the reason why some aut...

Design to Criteria scheduling is the process of custom building a schedule to meet dynamic client goal criteria using a task model that describes alternate ways to achieve tasks and sub tasks Formerly Design to Criteria scheduling relied on simple expected value characterizations of method outcomes The recent addition of uncertainty to the task model and its ubiquitous application in Design to ...

In recent years, several new architectures have been developed for supporting multimedia applications such as digital video and audio. However, quality-of-service (QoS) routing is an important element that is still missing from these architectures. In this paper, we consider a number of issues in QoS routing. We first examine the basic problem of QoS routing, namely, finding a path that satisfi...

Introduction This report from the Center for Competitive Analysis (CCA) of the University of Missouri is intended to provide basic background information about the Boat Building and Repairing (BBR) industry (SIC code 3732, essentially the same as NAICS code 336612, but the latter does not include boat repairing). Nationally, average 1998 weekly earnings for workers in this industry were $465.79...

The simplicity of deployment and perpetual operation energy harvesting devices provides a compelling proposition for new class edge the Internet Things. In particular, Computational Radio Frequency Identification (CRFID) are an emerging battery-free, computational, sensing enhanced that harvest all their operation. Despite wireless connectivity powering, secure firmware updates remains open cha...
