BACKGROUND changes in lower-limb joint moments are important outcome measures for treatment and prevention of knee osteoarthritis. However, it is known that both the magnitude and amplitude of joint moments are affected by the choice of anatomical reference frame. The purpose of this study was to identify features of joint moment waveforms that, regardless of the choice of reference frame, are ...

Modular structural systems are constructed using a method that they are assembled with prefabricated unit modular frames on-site. This provides a benefit that can significantly reduce building construction time. The structural design is usually carried out under the assumption that their load-carrying mechanism is similar to that of traditional steel moment-resisting systems. However, both syst...

This paper surveys the progress made on pairwise orthogonal wavelet frames and comments on the construction methods. There are a few known constructions based on the unitary extension principle, a paraunitary matrix and a given modulation matrix. A polyphase matrix based construction method has been presented which satisfies the condition of unitary extension principle yielding pairwise orthogo...

The works make the ‘present’ image from what is normally absent. The underlying structural principles of video frames and encoding are the bases of the developing picture. In this sense, the ‘now’ of a video image is multidimensional and variable; past, present and future are the simultaneous condition of a single moment (unlike film frames, which can be isolated as spatially and temporally dis...

A reliable gait features are required to extract the gait sequences from an images. In this paper suggested a simple method for gait identification which is based on moments. Moment values are extracted on different number of frames of Gray Scale and Silhouette images of CASIA database. These moment values are considered as feature values. Fuzzy logic and Nearest Neighbor Classifier are used fo...

This paper presents an improved multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (IMOEA) for the design of planar steel frames. By considering constraints as a new objective function, single objective optimization problems turned to multi objective optimization problems. To increase efficiency of IMOEA different Crossover and Mutation are employed. Also to avoid local optima dynamic interference of mutat...

INTRODUCTION Currently, differences between the gait of osteoarthritic (OA) and Control subjects are most often quantified using knee adduction moment. This gait feature has a well-established relationship with osteoarthritis (OA) severity [3]. However, it has been suggested that total knee moment may be more relevant to knee osteoarthritis. Boyer et al [1] reported that the most sensitive meas...

According to current design practices of steel moment-resisting frames, formation plastic hinges is unavoidable when the frames are supported by conventional column base systems, i.e., exposed-type and embedded-type due unequalized flexural moment demand on top first story columns [1]. Kimura et.al [3] has proposed mid-story pin system avoid from yielding realize beam-yielding mechanism applyin...

The fundamental periods of buildings are essential to calculate the design base shear and lateral forces. Most seismic codes specify empirical formulae to estimate the fundamental vibration period of buildings. These empirical formulae are used for both lowand mediumrise buildings. These formulae depend on the building materials (steel, reinforced concrete etc), building types (frame, shear wal...

Regularities in word order not specifically addressed by Skinner require behavioral interpretation if our field is to become more influential among students of language. Three such phenomena are briefly described in traditional structural terms and are offered as test cases: subtle differences in dative verbs, transformational traces, and the formation of compound nouns. It is argued that the v...
