Floor vibrations induced by human walking were investigated in a reinforced concrete structure. Six experimental floor structures were built in laboratories with the same dimensions and boundary conditions. Subjective tests were performed to assess the vibration serviceability of the floor structures. First, the subjects were asked to walk across a floor and then to rate the intensity of the vi...

blow out fracture is a common disease in oculoplastics clinics. one of indication for surgical intervention is entrapment of inferior rectus muscle in the fractured site. in this article authors represent two cases with this disease who underwent surgery for the entrapment of perimuscular fascia without inferior rectus muscle involvement. the results of treatment in both cases were excellent. t...

introduction: fractures of the orbital floor, which are caused by various mechanisms, result in the herniation of periorbital tissue into the paranasal sinuses and its subsequent complications. early diagnosis using various techniques and reduction of fractures are necessary to preserve ocular function and esthetic. use of an endoscope has been associated with some advantages, including a decre...

conclusions our study showed that the triple therapy of nd: yag and nd: yag + co2 fractional and hydroquinone cream had high efficiency and low morbidity compared to twofold treatment with nd: yag and nd: yag + co2 fractional. results seventeen patients with melasma (14 females and three males) with mean (± sd) age of 38.47 (± 6.29) years (range 29 - 53) were included in this study. the only si...

Orbital fractures commonly occur in maxillofacial trauma causing enophthalmos and diplopia. If not properly managed the cosmetic and functional problems can virtually become untreatable. In recent years, management of these fractures has been standardized with special emphasis on methods of treatment, timing and materials used for reduction.

PURPOSE We determined whether chronic testicular pain is related to pelvic floor overactivity after ruling out other disease pathology. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 41 patients with chronic testicular pain evaluated at our Pelvic Floor Department at a tertiary academic center were included in this retrospective study. All patients underwent standard pelvic floor investigation, including h...

With the advances in a variety of software/hardware technologies and wireless networking, there is coming a need for ubiquitous collaboration which allows people to access information systems independent of their access device and their physical capabilities and to communicate with other people in anytime and anywhere. Also, with the maturity of evolving computing paradigms and collaborative ap...

Die Vision der Industrie 4.0 umfasst einerseits cyberphysische Systeme im Feld und andererseits zentrale leistungsfähige ERP Systeme. Technisch scheint der Weg dahin einigermaßen klar zu sein. Man benötigt objektidentifizierende Sensorik und Aktuatorik im Feld, um einen konkreten technischen Vorgang einem übergeordneten Prozess zuordnen zu können. Dazu kann z.B. RFID genutzt werden. Weiterhin w...

This paper proposes a high resolution sensor floor which can detect both humans and robots simultaneously. Each sensor floor unit is 500mm square and is equipped with 4,096 pressure switches distributed in a 64 ×64 array. A 2m by 2m sensor floor with 16 of these sensor floor units has been realized. Experiments with this sensor floor have determined successfully the positions of a human and a 4...

A total number of 66 day old Japanese quail chicks divided into 2 treatment groups (33 in each treatment) with 3 replications in each having 11 birds (male, 5 and female, 6) were reared on floor and in cage system for a period of 5 weeks to know the effect of rearing system on growth performance and carcass characteristics. At the age of 35 days, average body weight and feed intake were 102.15 ...
