Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Evaluation of an Assisting Device for Training "Normal-Like" Sit To Stand MovementPierluigi Rea, Erika Ottaviano, Gianni CastelliThis paper presents a performance evaluation and results on the modelling and simulation of an assisting device to be used as aiding or guiding system for people with reduced mobility. There is a high level of motivation for elderly to perform independently basic Activities of Daily Life (ADL). Therefore, it is of great interest to design and implement reliable assisting … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 26 Jul 2017 · 7,694 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,521 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorrelation Between Dispersion and Mean Toassess Healthcare Servicee FficiencyRamalingam ShanmugamMotivation for this research work started while helping a hospital administrator to assess whether patient oriented activity duration, X≥0 is reflecting the service’s efficiency? Higher value of the sample mean duration, X implies lesser productivity in the hospital and more healthcare cost. Likewise, larger value of sample dispersion, sx2 in the service durations is an indicator of lesser reliability and … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Aug 2012 · 6,873 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing an Adaptative Fuzzy-Logic System to Optimize the Performances and the Reduction of Chattering Phenomenon in the Control of Induction MotorM. M. Krishan, L. Barazane, A. KhwaldehProblem statement: Neural networks and fuzzy inference systems are becoming well-recognized tools of designing an identifier/controller capable of perceiving the operating environment and imitating a human operator with high performance. Also, by combining these two features, more versatile and robust models, called “neuro-fuzzy” architectures have been developed. The mo Approach: Motivation behind the use of neuro-fuzzy approaches was based on … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,523 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractManagers Empowering EmployeesJ.D. Tony CarterProblem statement: This article looked at the behavior of organizations as an important factor for empowering employees. This allowed for a greater level of partnering between managers and employees. The more that top management wants an internal commitment from its employees, the more it must involve employees in defining work objectives, specifying how to achieve them and setting stretch targets. … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,532 accessesView PDFCite
