INTRODUCTION Recent cohort studies have used exposure prediction models to estimate the association between long-term residential concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and health. Because these prediction models rely on PM2.5 monitoring data, predictions for times before extensive spatial monitoring present a challenge to understanding long-term exposure effects. The U.S. Environmen...

many diseases are related to cerebrospinal .uid (csf) hydrodynamics. therefore, understanding the hydrodynamics of csf .ow and intracranial pressure is helpful for obtaining deeper knowledge of pathological processes and providing better treatments. furthermore, engineering a reliable computational method is promising approach for fabricating in vitro models which is essential for inventing gen...

The paper focuses on the problem of point-to-point trajectory planning for flexible redundant robot manipulators (FRM) in joint space. Compared with irredundant flexible manipulators, a FRM possesses additional possibilities during point-to-point trajectory planning due to its kinematics redundancy. A trajectory planning method to minimize vibration and/or executing time of a point-to-point mot...

The utilization of a slug calorimeter to evaluate the thermal performance of fire resistive materials (FRMs) is presented. The basic specimen configuration consists of a ‘sandwich’, with a square central stainless-steel plate (slug) surrounded on two sides by the FRM. This sandwich configuration provides an adiabatic boundary condition at the central axis of the slug plate that greatly simplifi...

This study aims to find relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and food risk management (FRM), and other affecting factors of FRM in China. This is considered from the perspective of food company managers located in 161 food companies surveyed in Henan Province and Wuhan City, China. The results indicate that the company’s attitude (defensive/passive/proactive) to CSR affect...

Since Lim’s 1986 paper on the frequency-responsemasking (FRM) technique for the design of finite-impulse response digital filters with very small transition widths, the analysis and design of FRM filters has been a subject of study. In this paper, a new optimization technique for the design of various FRM filters is proposed. Central to the new design method is a sequence of linear updates for ...

To reduce the complexity of narrow transition bandwidth of FIR filter through Frequency Response Masking Technique (FRM) and to achieve low power with the help of time multiplexed FRM filters. This technique uses a cascade structure of periodic model filter and masking filter. The complexity is a reduced both by the number of multipliers and also the logic elements used which results in low pow...

Frequency-response masking (FRM) approach is a very efficient method for designing linear-phase FIR digital filters with general passbands and sharp transition bands. The FRM approach has recently been adapted to design cosine-modulated filter banks (CMFB). The resulting structure is a two-stage filter formed by the polyphase decomposition of the base filter in cascade with the decomposition of...

In this paper we introduce the term FRM (Fulfillment Request Management). According to the FRM in a BSS / OSS environment we can use a unified approach to implement a SOA in order to integrate BSS with OSS and handle 1. Orders 2. Events 3. Processes. So in a way that systems like ESB, Order Management, and Business Process Management can be implemented under a unified architecture and a unified...
