In the present study, we investigate a control mechanism that dampens hand vibrations. Here, we propose a control method with two components to suppress hand vibrations. The first is a passive suppression method that lowers the joint stiffness to passively dampen the hand vibrations. The second is an active suppression method that adjusts an equilibrium point based on skyhook control to activel...

there is a growing interest in food industry to replace the synthetic chemicals by the natural products with bioactive properties from plant origin. the aim of this study was to determine the chemical composition of mentha pulegium essential oil and to characterize the antimicrobial activities of the essential oil. the essential oil of mentha pulegium was analyzed by gc-ms. the evaluation of th...

There are 2 distinct methods of cup navigation in total hip arthroplasty. One predicts orientation of the acetabulum through bony landmarks outside the acetabulum (eg, the anterior pelvic plane); its unreliability is well published. The other identifies acetabular center axis (ACA) and is patient-specific method that is independent of pelvic tilt, making it more reliable. Data from readily palp...

The Vehicle Licence plate Detection Method has many applications like cars parking in hotels, traffic signal violation, electronic toll collections and border crossing vehicle etc. Any detection method has some major challenges like Licences plates have arbitrary sizes, orientations, complex backgrounds and localization of licence plates. In this paper a new vehicle licence plate detection meth...

Reduced range of motion, prosthetic impingement, and joint dislocation can all result from misalignment of the acetabular component (i.e. cup alignment) in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. Most methods for acetabular component alignment are designed to provide 45-50 degrees abduction and 15-25 degrees of operative anteversion (also known as flexion) with respect to the anterior pelvi...

The effectiveness of the cupping technique, a treatment modality in Traditional Chinese Medicine, in stimulating acupuncture points for pain relief was examined in this paper from a biomechanical perspective. Parametric studies including the effects of vacuum pressure, loading rate, friction coefficient at the cup-skin interface, and size and shape of the cup were carried out using a model base...

Aim: Screen the multidrug resistance Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates which is main causative agent of nosocomial infection in Erbil hospitals. And monitoring effectiveness some most widely used biocides our hospitals on these and select effective one to be control Methods: This study included 81 klebsiella spp. were collected from different clinical specimen City 1August 1 November 2021. Suscept...

This paper presents a phantom-based study for validating a newly developed 2D-3D reconstruction-based method for measuring implant migration after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Based on a mock-up setup, three different methods were used to determine the cup orientation with respect to the anterior pelvic plane (APP) of a plastic pelvis: (a) the optical tracking method; (b) the fiducial-based me...

rosa damascena, tripleurospermum disciforme and securigera securidaca were used as disinfectant agents and for treatment of some disease in folk medicine of iran. the antimicrobial effects of different fractions of seeds extract of s. securidaca, petals extract of r. damascena and aerial parts extract of t. disciforme were examined against some gram positive, gram negative and fungi by cup plat...

Let R be a commutative ring. The cup-length of R is defined by the greatest number n such that there exist x1, . . . , xn ∈ R \ R with x1 · · · xn , 0. We denote the cup-length of R by cup(R). In particular, for a space X and a commutative ring A, the cup-length of X with the coefficient A, is defined by cup(H̃(X; A)). We denote it by cupA(X). It is well-known that cupA(X) is a lower bound for t...
