The purpose of this study was to develop a disability rating scale according to job classification using the Korean Academy of Medical Society (KAMS) guidelines. All jobs were categorized based on their level of physical activity and professional skills. The KAMS guidelines were used for the impairment rating. We modified the California Schedule for rating permanent disabilities. The difference...

Audio spatialization is a rapidly growing field in acoustics and audio signal processing. Measurements and models of head-related impulse responses (HRIRs) of human subjects or KEMAR dummy heads are the primary source of information for research on spatial audio. The information contained in HRIRs measured at various azimuth and elevation angles is sufficient for synthesizing realistic three di...

The direct current (DC) motors are widely used; therefore, they subject to multiple studies, different control techniques or analyses require a dynamic DC motor model. parameters needed complete the model, which can be challenging obtain. Therefore, parametric estimation have been developed. This paper presents metaheuristic cuckoo search algorithm modified for as tool. A cost function is based...

In this paper we use the Epigram language to define the universe of regular tree types—closed under empty, unit, sum, product and least fixpoint. We then present a generic decision procedure for Epigram’s in-built equality at each type, taking a complementary approach to that of Benke, Dybjer and Jansson [7]. We also give a generic definition of map, taking our inspiration from Jansson and Jeur...

This paper and our conference paper (Abbott, Altenkirch, Ghani, and McBride, 2003b) explain and analyse the notion of the derivative of a data structure as the type of its one-hole contexts based on the central observation made by McBride (2001). To make the idea precise we need a generic notion of a data type, which leads to the notion of a container, introduced in (Abbott, Altenkirch, and Gha...
