The Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) and associated risk factors for shocker manufacturing industries in Haryana were carried out. A comparison of CTS and other upper hand extremities amongst traditional and semi-ergonomic shocker manufacturing workers in actual industrial environment has been analysed through questionnaire and physical tests. Fisher’s exact test and ‘t’ test are used for statistic...

We show that the value of a zero-sum Bayesian game is a Lipschitz continuous function of the players’common prior belief, with respect to the total variation metric on beliefs. This is unlike the case of general Bayesian games, where lower semi-continuity of Bayesian equilibrium (BE) payo¤s rests on the "almost uniform" convergence of conditional beliefs. We also show upper semi-continuity (USC...

The averaging method is one of the most powerful methods used to analyse differential equations appearing in the study of nonlinear problems. The idea behind the averaging method is to replace the original equation by an averaged equation with simple structure and close solutions. A large number of practical problems leads to differential equations with discontinuous right-hand sides. In a rigo...

The algorithm proposed in [Mitsos Optimization 2011] for the global optimization of semi-infinite programs is extended to the global optimization of generalized semi-infinite programs (GSIP). No convexity or concavity assumptions are made. The algorithm employs convergent lower and upper bounds which are based on regular (in general nonconvex) nonlinear programs (NLP) solved by a (black-box) de...

The inf-sup constant for the divergence, or LBB constant, is explicitly known for only few domains. For other domains, upper and lower estimates are known. If more precise values are required, one can try to compute a numerical approximation. This involves, in general, approximation of the domain and then the computation of a discrete LBB constant that can be obtained from the numerical solutio...

In this note, we introduce the concept of semi-*-IFP, involutive version semi-IFP, which is a generalization quasi-*-IFP and *-reducedness *-rings. We study basic structure properties *-rings having semi-*-IFP give results for IFPs in rings with involution. Several counterexamples are stated to connect versions IFP. discuss conditions be extended into *-subrings ring upper triangular matrices. ...

Many numerical methods have been developed for the solution of Poisson and Laplace equations such as finite-difference methods, finite-element methods, boundary-element methods, etc. Sinc numerical methods developed recently by Stenger and co-workers excel over other methods for problems involving singularities, infinite or semi-infinite domains as well as boundary layer behaviors. In this pape...

The characteristic asymptotic fields at the tip of sharp, semi-infinite cracks and notches are first compared with corresponding features present in selected finite bodies (edge cracks and notches). This gives an explicit view of the gradual divergence of the semiinfinite and finite problem solutions as the observation point becomes remote from the tip. Hence, upper bounds for the local plastic...
