Introduction Geriatric patients and their relative fragility with respect to younger patients represent a surgical dilemma for the general surgeon. This has led surgeons to adopt "tailored" techniques and strategies to treat them. The rapid increase of this aged population has given the clinician the chance to push forward the knowledge on this subset of patients and challenge previous concepts...

Previous research has demonstrated the importance of both dynamic and isometric maximal strength and rate of force development (RFD) in athletic populations. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between measures of isometric force (PF), RFD, jump performance and strength in collegiate football athletes. The subjects in this study were twenty-two men [(mean ± SD):age 18.4 ±...

We report the experimental measurement and simulation of the transient electrostatic pull-in characteristics of microstructural beams fabricated with silicon surface micromachining. Pull-in dynamics are investigated under the influence of compressible squeezed-film damping (CSQFD) for large amplitude motion. A linearized one-dimensional model, using a fitted damping constant, and a two-dimensio...

Culture of entrepreneurs is also a sort of capital, which has a direct effect on development of enterprises in the process of economic operation of enterprises. Construction of cultural capital among entrepreneurs helps to enhance the overall competitive strength of Chinese enterprises in international society and helps to push forward development of the economic society. Due to historical reas...

We propose and study a class of structured and dynamic information push and pull protocols for wireless sensor networks. For structured information dissemination, our study focuses on the impact of various information demand characteristics on dissemination along some type of backbone structures. Our exploration of dynamic information push and pull focuses on finding optimal strategies in a dis...

Cloud computing is a type of distributed computing allowing to share many resources such as CPU, memory, storage ...etc. The status of these resources changes from time to time due to the dynamic adaptive ability of the cloud computing characteristics. Hence, the powerful and scalable monitoring algorithm is needed to monitor the status of these resources throughout the time. There are many mod...

This work studied the static magnetic pull of a modular spoke-type permanent magnet motor (MSTPMM) with no rotor eccentricity during motor’s final assembly process and its dynamic different operating states. A new scheme was proposed to significantly reduce motor. The methods required unbalanced radial whole stator, which is caused by partial stator module operation, were also studied. Firstly,...
