Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElectrotherapeutic Interventions for Tennis Elbow or Lateral Epicondylitis: A Brief Review of the LiteratureLevent Ediz, Mahmut AlpayciLateral Epicondylitis (LE) or tennis elbow is a painful and functionally limiting entity affecting the upper limb and hand. The lack of sufficient understanding regarding its pathophysiology has led to a large number of treatment approaches in physiotherapy practice including electrotherapeutic interventions. In the current review we evaluated recent trials and reviews of electrotherapeutic interventions for LE treatment for evidence … …Physics International, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 26 Feb 2013 · 7,376 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of a Two Unit Standby Oil Delivering System with a Provision of Switching Over to another System at Need to Increase the AvailabilityUpasana Sharma, Rekha, Gulshan TanejaProblem statement: The study deals with a standby system consisting of two units. Initially one unit is operative and the other is standby. When both the units are failed then there is a provision of switching over to the other similar system. This practical situation may be observed in an oil refinery plant. Real data on failure and repair rates … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,111 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnderactuated Anthropomorphic Finger Mechanism for Grasping and Pinching with Optimized ParameterNorsinnira Zainul Azlan, Yamaura HiroshiProblem statement: Underactuated finger mechanism is beneficial in the anthropomorphic applications in which it reduces the finger size, weight and power consumption due to the less number of actuators compared to its number of Degree Of Freedom (DOF). However, the currently existing underactuated finger is limited to grasping operations only and unable to pinch with the finger tip. Moreover, the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,549 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolving Linear Programming Problems on the Parallel Virtual Machine EnvironmentJrJung Lyu, Hsing Luh, Ming-Chang LeeThis study developed a parallel algorithm to efficiently solve linear programming models. The proposed algorithm utilizes the Dantzig-Wolfe Decomposition Principle and can be easily implemented in a general distributed computing environment. The analytical performance of the well-known method, including the speedup upper bound and lower bound limits, was derived. Numerical experiments are also provided in order to verify the complexity … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 7,841 accessesView PDF Cite
