Neuromuscular fatigue is believed to be a contributing factor to injury in athletic situations. To examine this idea, it is necessary to establish functional fatigue models that are representative of the type of physical ...
This paper examines the ability of a power system to accommodate wind generation with varying ratios of doubly fed induction generator and fixed speed induction generator
turbines from both static and dynamic aspects. By ...

I show a simple back-of-the-envelope method for calculating marginal effects in binary
choice and count data models. The approach suggested here focuses attention on
marginal effects at different points in the distribution ...
The decreased cost and increased processing speed for terrestrial laser scanners have made this remote sensing procedure much more attractive. The approach has two major advantages over traditional surveying: (1) a ...
This paper studies the impact of balancing wind generation with storage on the thermal plant mix and load for different levels of installed wind and storage, and under
different operational strategies. Moreover, the ...
The purpose of this essay is to explore the relationship between revolution and violence in Marxism and in a series of texts drawing on Marxian theory. Part 1 outlines the basic normative frameworks which determine the ...
Virtual reality-based computer games may be a
useful way to develop motor skills and increase activity levels in
children. We have developed an interactive computer platform
where users must tilt a wobble board to ...
Many documented instances of existing research on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) use deployments that either fall short of, or barely meet, the resource requirements of the application. In this paper, it is envisaged that ...
Objective: To assess utilization of ambulatory visits to primary care physicians (PCPs) and to specialists in 2 different managed care models: a closed
panel gatekeeper health maintenance organization (HMO) and an open ...
Collaborative or “Social” filtering has been successfully deployed over the years as a technique for analysing large amounts of user-preference knowledge to predict interesting items for an individual user. The black-box ...
The Mobile Web promises a new age of anytime, anywhere information access to billions of users across the globe. However, the Mobile Internet represents a challenging information access environment, particularly from a ...
COST funding allows European scientists establish international links, communicate their work to colleagues and promote international research cooperation. COST731 was established to study the propagation of uncertainty ...
Increasingly, in our everyday lives, we rely on our ability to access and understand complex information. Just as the search engine played a key role in helping people access relevant information, there is evidence that ...
Wearable sensor systems require an interactive and communicative interface for the user to interpret data in a meaningful way. The development of adaptive personalization features in a visualization tool for such systems ...
