A systematic review of the literature was undertaken to assess the efficacy of static stretching as part of the warm-up for the prevention of exercise-related injuries. Computer-aided literature search for articles post-1990 and pre-January 2008 related to static stretching and injury prevention using MEDLINE, SPORT Discus, PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases. All relevant randomised clinical t...

Security assessment is an important concern in planning and operation studies of an electric power system. Conventional method of security evaluation is performed by simulation consisting of load flow program and transient stability analysis, consuming long computer time and generating voluminous results. This paper presents a practical Pattern Recognition (PR) approach for security assessment ...

Assessment tools based on static and linear concepts like traditional cost-benefit analysis can not reasonably be applied for long-term assessments of complex systems. One major reason is that secondary effects of policies caused by endogenous dynamics of the system are not considered. So, for environmental impacts the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is developed that already includes ...

Automatic verification by means of extended static checking (ESC) has seen some success in industry and academia due to its lightweight and easy-to-use nature. Unfortunately, ESC comes at a cost: a host of logical and practical completeness and soundness issues. Interactive verification technology, on the other hand, is usually complete and sound, but requires a large amount of mathematical and...

I hope the few remarks I have to make may be the means of directing attention to this interesting, and I think veryimportant, branch of medical treatment. Electricity generally, and static electricity in particular, as an aid to recovery has received much more attention in America than in this country. Here the whole subject of its use in medicine has hardly received the attention it deserves. ...

Propagation analysis is a dynamic code analysis technique that can be used to quantitatively assess certain software properties that are oth erwise di cult to assess such as testability safety and security The currently accepted analysis technique relies heavily on repeated execution of the code being assessed and is therefore very expensive to apply We are currently developing static analysis ...

This paper is investigating if it is possible to predict source code quality based on static analysis and machine learning. The proposed approach includes a plugin in Eclipse, uses a combination of peer review/human rating, static code analysis, and classification methods. As training data, public data and student hand-ins in programming are used. Based on this training data, new and uninspecte...

progressive collapse is a chain reaction of failures propagating throughout a portion of the structure disproportionate to the original local failure occurring when a sudden loss of a critical load‐bearing element initiates a structural element failure, eventually resulting in partial or full collapse of the structure. both general services administration (gsa) and united states department of d...

Abstract This article presents the measurement and analysis of influence velocity on quasi-static deflections industrial manipulators three different manufacturers. Quasi-static deflection refers to end effector position articulated robots during movement at low along a predefined trajectory. Based earlier reported observations by authors, there exists difference in static considering same poin...
