Misisi compound in Lusaka is characterized by artisanal small scale quarrying activities which are often dusty nature and prone to hazards. This study reports respirable dust concentration the mineralogical composition of rocks workplace. Dust sampling was carried out with help gravimetric samplers at five quarries. Respirable samples were collected during digging, chiselling, crushing, loading...

The velocity of movement and applied load affect the production of mechanical power output and subsequently the extent of the adaptation stimulus in strength exercises. We do not know of any known function describing the relationship of power and velocity and load in the bench press exercise. The objective of the study is to find a function modeling of the relationship of relative velocity, rel...

Research Objective: To discuss exercise performance and biochemical reactions of different load weight-bearing running of rats. Research Methods: 24 male 3-month-old SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 8), namely, a none weight-bearing running group, a 35% maximum load weight-bearing running group, a 75% maximum load weight-bearing running group. After weight-bearing running traini...

In this paper a general formulation for finding the maximum allowable dynamic load (MADL) of flexible link mobile manipulators is presented. The main constraints used for the algorithm presented are the actuator torque capacity and the limited error bound for the end-effector during motion on the given trajectory. The precision constraint is taken into account with two boundary lines in plane w...

AbstractComputer models and simpler methods must be used to reliably determine total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for impaired waters of the US. Models are also useful develop implementation plan...

This paper presents the results of an experimental study axial capacity circular spirally-reinforced concrete columns that were subjected to accelerated corrosion while sustaining a constant compressive service load. Two sets five each designed with different spiral pitch investigate effect confinement on propagation. Columns non-confining reinforcement had only their longitudinal reinforcing s...

in this paper, according to high load capacity and rather large workspace characteristics of cable driven robots (cdrs), maximum dynamic load carrying capacity (dlcc) between two given end points in the workspace along with optimal trajectory is obtained. in order to find dlcc of cdrs, joint actuator torque and workspace of the robot constraints concerning to non-negative tension in cables are ...
