In the effort of building a verb lexicon classifying the most used verbs in Arabic and providing information about their syntax and semantics (Mousser, 2010), the problem of classes over-generation arises because of the overt morphology of Arabic, which codes not only agreement and inflection relations but also semantic information related to thematic arity or other semantic information like ”i...

our Society concerns itself. I make no pretension to relating the history of epidemiology, but only wish to bring before you some few episodes illustrating the rise and development of the science in our own country. The conception and even the name of a science of epidemic diseases began long before with Hippocrates, and his treatise bearing the name of the Epidemics has been consciously or unc...

The outcome of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery is dependent on several factors including the type and source of graft, pretension levels, tunnel position and orientation, knee flexion angle at the time of graft fixation, and the method of fixation. Unfortunately, few previously reported finite element (FE) based simulations of the ACL reconstruction procedure incorpor...

in this paper effect of pile-soil consideration in obtaining seismic response offshore structure is assessed due to earthquake loading. inducedseismic force is one of the most important excitations for the dynamic response of an offshore structure. according to api, seismic forces should be accounted in platform design for seismically active regions in order to determine the allowable seismic r...

A prominent relationship has been proposed between compliance and various factors, like the patient's individual characteristics, the illness and medication being prescribed to the patient. We compared 20 manic patients who were non compliant to medication with a control group, who were matched on the demographic variable, illness variables and the treatment prescribed. We first examined the re...

„Despite twenty years of ongoing research...there is no consensus on what SCM really is“ (Kotzab/Friis 2006, p. 70). It is not an easy exercise to review and criticize a concept which is so iridescent. In order to focus our line of thought we refer to a definition from the early nineties provided by Cooper/Elram (1993, p.1, cited by Bechtel/Jayaram 1997, p.37): „Supply Chain Management is an ap...

this paper deals with the solution of a column with balcony loads. it is intended to determine the expressions for deflections and bending moments of the sections of a column under the action of transmitted loads from a balcony loaded at its free end by a force «p» and rigidly connected to the column somewhere between its ends. the action of this load on the column is equivalent to that of the ...

Fatigue in railway overhead line electrification (OLE) contact wires can cause sudden catastrophic failures. The wire interacting with the pantograph both mechanically and electrically is subjected to tension repetitive bending due force. Recently, fatigue failures of OLE have risen prominence increases train speed. To address this a new test configuration has been developed. study focuses on m...

This report is an update of the review for ramp-based baggage handling related literature undertaken in 2005 (Tapley and Riley, 2005). The aim of this review is to present information relating to alternative methods of loading narrow-bodied aircraft that reduce the manual handling related injury and ill-health risks to the handlers, and to identify knowledge gaps. This was used to inform subseq...
