conclusions this study indicates that low-load rt results in greater accumulations in vl compared to high-load rt over the course of 8 weeks of training. results after adjusting for the pre-test scores, there was a significant difference between the two intervention groups on post-intervention total vl with a very large effect size (f (1, 15) = 16.598, p = .001, ηp2 = .525). there was a signifi...

modeling and wrench feasible workspace analysis of a spatial cable suspended robots is presented. a six-cable spatial cable robot is used the same as stewart robots. due to slow motion of the robot we suppose the motion as pseudostatic and kinetostatic modeling is performed. various workspaces are defined and the results of simulation are presented on the basis of various workspaces and applied...

The present paper is concerned with the stationary workload of queues heavy-tailed (regularly varying) characteristics. We adopt a transform perspective to illuminate close connection between tail asymptotics and heavy-traffic limit in infinite-variance scenarios. This serves as tribute some pioneering results J.W. Cohen this domain. specifically demonstrate that reduced-load equivalence proper...

This paper addresses the unfairness problem appearing in 802.6-based DQDB MANs. Traffic load demand is characterized as low (below 0.4 of the channel capacity), normal (from 0.4 to 0.9 of the channel capacity) or heavy (greater than 0.9 of the channel capacity). At low loads the 802.6 protocol is acceptably fair. At normal loads, however, the protocol performance is markedly unfair. The unfairn...

This paper describes and analyzes a novel MAC protocol named distributed-control polling (DCP), which has been designed to bring together the most interesting features of distributed-control MAC protocols (e.g., DQDB) and centralized token-passing MAC protocols (e.g. , FASNET, FDDI, EXPRESS-NET). From the fully distributed MAC protocols, DCP acquires the capability to guarantee both a complete ...

Effects of water stress on fruit fresh and dry weights were investigated in peach trees, Prunus persica (L.) Batsch., with varying crop loads: light, moderate and heavy. In well-watered controls, tree water status was independent of crop load. In trees receiving reduced irrigation, the degree of water stress increased with increasing crop load. Water stress induced fruit fresh weight reductions...

It is a well-recognized fact that our pavement design procedures are inadequate in general and seriously lacking in many particulars. The fact that this statement can be applied on a county, state or national basis is little consolation to those in Indiana who must design and build pavements, for ever-changing traffic conditions, in such mileage and at such unit costs compared to the funds avai...
