A constructive method is presented in which L2 -stability can be guaranteed for networked control of multiple passive plants in spite of random time varying delays and data dropouts. The passive plants are interfaced to a wave variable based passive sampler (PS) and passive hold (PH) which allows a passive digital control network to be constructed. A power junction is used to facilitate the int...

BACKGROUND Clinicians are constantly seeking for the most ideal option in the management of Congenital Talipes Equino Varus (CTEV), especially among infants. OBJECTIVE This case report presents the outcome of a one year Physiotherapy management of an infant with Congenital Talipes Equino Varus (CTEV). METHODS Management commenced 48 hours after birth. During the first three months, passive ...

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of passive motion exercise and active motion exercise on functional fitness in elderly nursing home residents. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-three (female 22 and male 1) nursing home residents (84.8±4.3 yr) volunteered for this study. They were divided into a passive motion exercise group (n=12) and an active motion exercise group (n=1...

The authors report an experimental investigation on the measurement of the available bandwidth for the users in gigabit passive optical networks (GPON) and the limitations caused by the Internet protocols, and transfer control protocol (TCP) in particular. We point out that the huge capacity offered by the GPON highlights the enormous differences that can be showed among the available and actua...

BACKGROUND Active transport is a convenient way to incorporate physical activity in adolescents' daily life. The present study aimed to investigate which psychosocial and environmental factors are associated with walking, cycling, public transport (train, tram, bus, metro) and passive transport (car, motorcycle, moped) over short distances (maximum eight kilometres) among older adolescents (17-...

BACKGROUND The group of passive prostheses consists of prosthetic hands and prosthetic tools. These can either be static or adjustable. Limited research and development on passive prostheses has been performed although many people use these prosthesis types. Although some publications describe passive prostheses, no recent review of the peer-reviewed literature on passive prostheses is availabl...

in this paper, we deal with the problem of clutter and direct signal (c&ds;) cancelation in the target detection of tv-based passive radars. we first consider the target detection using the conventional fft method. we see that for increasing the maximum range of passive radar, we must cancel the c&ds; from the received signal. hence, we investigate some important methods for c&ds; cancelation i...

SATO, K., NAKAMURA, R. and NAGASAKI, H. EMG Activities of the Biceps Brachii at Rapid Elbow Flexion during Passive Movements. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1983, 139 (2), 219-220 Seven normal subjects were asked to flex the left elbow as quickly as possible, responding to a tone stimulus under three conditions: 1) during passive flexion of the elbow, 2) during passive extension and 3) without passive mo...

today, countries that have experienced damages caused by wars, pay special attentions to passive defense in their defense strategies to protect their national properties and vital resources. to this end, observing passive defense considerations in urban development and design has a great impact on reducing the vulnerability of cities, financial losses, and casualties as well as increasing citiz...

background: in the majority of countries, active direct euthanasia is a forbidden way of the deprivation of the patients’ life, while its passive form is commonly accepted. this distinction between active and passive euthanasia has no justification, viewed through the prism of morality and ethics. therefore, we focused on attention on the moral and ethical implications of the aforementioned med...
