Influence of Electrode Orientation on Electromyographic Fatigue Indices of the Vastus Lateralis. JOSEPH P. WEIR, KELLY P. MAHONEY, KATHERINE G. HAAN and AMANDA DAVIS. JEPonline 1999, 2(3):15-20. Monitoring of muscle fatigue in the leg extensors can provide valuable information regarding exercise and rehabilitation. Surface electromyography (EMG) can provide objective measures for monitoring fat...

Landslides are major geological hazards and frequently occur in mountainous areas with steep slopes, often causing significant loss. Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) has been widely used landslide measurement over the last three decades. However, InSAR only can measure one-dimensional displacements (i.e. those radar’s line of sight (LOS) direction), resulting uncertainty between...

In this paper, a Bayesian hierarchical model is used to anaylze the female breast cancer mortality rates for the State of Missouri from 1969 through 2001. The logit transformations of the mortality rates are assumed to be linear over the time with additive spatial and age effects as intercepts and slopes. Objective priors of the hierarchical model are explored. The Bayesian estimates are quite ...

In this paper, stability of slopes with a shallow foundation located on top including the shape of the failure mechanism is investigated in static and seismic states. This is a three dimensional problem which is analyzed two dimensionally because 3D analyses are complex and appropriate softwares are not available. The conventional method of bearing capacity evaluation of foundations on top of ...

Abstract Nocturnal spatial variation of temperature, wind, and turbulence over microtopography is generally poorly understood. Low amplitude covers much the Earth’s surface and, with very stable conditions, can produce significant variations temperature turbulence. We examine such gentle terrain that include two shallow gullies feed into a small valley. The are covered by sub-network seven flux...

in this research the productivity and cost of komatsu d60 bulldozer in earth working operations of secondary forest road was studied in lolet forests, lied in one of the tajan river watersheds. the daily work elements of the machine including productive time, unproductive time, technical, operational and personal delays for 12 days and in two slopes of 30 to 50 and 50 to 70 percents were invest...
