purpose ankle sprain is one of the most common injuries among athletes and instability and injury to this joint is responsible for long time loss of physical and recreational activity. also, it can impose high costs to sport teams. prevention of this injury is an important concern of practice and rehabilitation. one way of reducing the possibility of ankle joint injury is using an ankle orthosi...

the motivation of this paper is to propose such equitable method for ranking all decision making units (dmus) in dynamic data envelopment analysis (ddea) framework. as far as we are aware there is not more studies in dynamic dea literature. what's more, in such cases the best operating unit is important to be sampled for the others in under evaluated time periods. however, in this special conce...

dynamic assessment (da) which is rooted in vygotsky’s (1978) sociocultural theory involves the integration of instruction and assessment in a dialectical way to achieve two main purposes: enhancing learners' development and understanding about their learning potential. however, the feasibility and appropriateness of mediation are two main concerns of da. the former is concerned with the applica...

in investigation of dynamic specifications of castellated beams, it is necessary to be studied the excitation intensity of dynamic mode shapes for different loading conditions. it is evident that for a specific loading, not all modes of a structure are excited and the structural response depends on the applied loading specifications. in this paper using the finite element method (based on ansys...

A level set based detail extraction method from images is presented in this paper. The method uses level set to encode the large-scale variation in the image and extracts detail from this variation. This method can compute the detail from images quite fast. The separated detail can be used for compensating the detail loss in High Dynamic Range (HDR) image compression using global tone mapping a...

Because of the progress of the digital camera technique recently, we can directly obtain the HDRI (High Dynamic Range Image) from camera. Nevertheless, limited by display, we still transfer the HDRI to the display which can show LDRI (Low Dynamic Range Image). This technique is known as tone-mapping. The goal of tone-mapping is to compress the luminance dynamic range into low dynamic range whil...

abstract introduction: this study was aimed at assessing the effect of a new thoracolumbar orthosis on patients with scheuermann's kyphosis referred to iran medical university of tehran in collaboration with a clinic of technical ortopedea in isfahan. material and method: this new version of orthosis had a dynamic system as compared to previous ones which enabled the spine to extend. a question...

linear dynamic response of simply supported nanobeams subjected to a variable axial force is assessed by galerkin numerical approach. constitutive behavior is described by three functional forms of elastic energy densities enclosing nonlocal and strain gradient effects and their combination. linear stationary dynamics of nanobeams is modulated by an axial force which controls the global stiffne...
