Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractState of the Art Technologies for Exoskeleton Human Lower Extremity Rehabilitation RobotsSk. Khairul Hasan, Anoop Kumar DhingraThe World Health Organization reports that about 1 billion people worldwide have some form of disability. Of these, 110-190 million people have significant difficulties in functioning. Providing rehabilitation services to a large number of disabled people with limited resources is quite challenging. Robot-based neurorehabilitation is an appealing solution for providing rehabilitation services without the downside of provider fatigue. Despite the … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 30 Sep 2020 · 11,254 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing a Hierarchical Weibull model to Predict Failure Strength of Different Glass Edge ProfilesDavid Thomas Kinsella, Johan LindströmThe edge strength of glass is analyzed using a Weibull statistical framework based on 78 data samples from a range of experiments recorded in literature. Based on the analysis, a 45 MPa strength value (computed as the lower bound in a one-sided confidence interval at the 75% level for the 5-percentile in the distribution) could be conservatively used with arrised, … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 30 Apr 2020 · 8,274 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuzzy Logic Decision Support System for Hypovigilance Detection based on CNN Feature Extractor and WN ClassifierInes Teyeb, Ahmed Snoun, Olfa Jemai, Mourad ZaiedFatigue and drowsiness are among the main causes of traffic accidents, just behind excessive speed and alcoholism. This paper deals with the problem of road safety. It attempts to present a driver vigilance monitoring system based on a video approach. This work aims at creating an assistive driving application employing eyes closure duration and head posture estimation as performant signs … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 11 · 22 Nov 2018 · 7,565 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractImmunе-Mediated Myocarditis Associated with Leptospirosis in 6 Years Old Labrador RetrieverOleinikov Dmitrii, Letunoskaja AnnaAbout 6 years old, male Labrador retriever was presented for 10 days long weakness and fatigue. After diagnostic examinations, a preliminary diagnosis of Leptospirosis was suggested. Cardiologist consultation was advised. At admission, the dog was depressed, the visible mucosa was pale and capillary refilling time was slowed. Weak systolic murmur and rhythm disturbances were auscultated. Thoracic radiography revealed the accented … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 4 Oct 2018 · 7,090 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMotivations for Remittances and Philanthropy – Lessons from a Qualitative Meta-Synthesis of LiteratureSabith Khan, Daisha M. MerrittWhy do people send remittances? Also, what are the motivations for diaspora philanthropy? While each of these questions have been addressed by scholars in different way – with the most influential theories suggesting that ‘identification’ is the key theme that explains each of these phenomenon, we contend that there is much more than purely ‘identification’ with the recipients that is … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 3 Mar 2018 · 8,368 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSTRESS; THE VULNERABILITY AND ASSOCIATION WITH DRIVING PERFORMANCEB. M.T. Shamsul, S. Khairunnisa, Y. G. Ng, M. Y. Irwan SyahSeveral factors may contribute to occurrence of road accidents which are human factors, vehicle factor, road factor and environmental factor. There has been recent evidence of a relationship between road accidents and emotional distress as well as fatigue. Monotonous and complex road environments are the road factor that relates to the internal factor within driver. The overall aim of this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 11 Jan 2014 · 7,717 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNutritional Supplements and its Effect on Quality of Life and SleepSara Sarrafi Zadeh, Khyrunnisa BegumProblem statement: Inadequate sleep has been recognized as a risk factor for poor health status. Mental stress, body pains, melatonin deficiency, late night awakening disturbing the body clock are triggers for poor quality of sleep and fatigue. Fatigue due to insomnia is a major cause for poor quality of life. Evidences suggest certain nutrients to exert profound influence on quality … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 1 Dec 2011 · 9,258 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTensiomyographic Characteristics of Rectus Femoris after a Single Bout of Intense ExerciseLuis Carrasco Paez, Borja Sañudo Corrales, Moises de Hoyo Lora, Gabriela OchianaProblem statement: It is not well known how local fatigue can impair the contractile properties of skeletal muscle, so the aim of this study was to determine the Tensiomyographic (TMG) characteristics of Rectus Femoris (RF) after a single bout of intense exercise. Approach: Twelve healthy male volunteers (mean±SEM; age, 24.16±0.62 years, height 172.02±1.21 cm, body mass 71.84±2.19 kg, BMI 24.42±0.70 … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2011 · 8,543 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelaxation of Residual Stress Part 2: Relaxation of Stage 2Omar Suliman Zaroog, Aidy Ali, B.B. Sahari, Rizal ZahariProblem statement: Compressive residual stress induced by surface treatment such as shot peening increased component’s fatigue life. However the initial induced residual stresses relax during component operating life and it is important to consider the relaxation in the design. Approach: In this study, a 2024-T351 aluminum alloy specimens were shot peened into three shot peening intensities condition to induce compressive … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,997 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDurability Assessment of Cylinder Block for Two Stroke Free Piston Linear Engine using Random LoadingM. M. Rahman, A. K. Ariffin, S. Abdullah et al.This research presents the durability assessment of cylinder block for a two-stroke free piston engine using narrow band approach. The life prediction results are worthy for improving the component design at the very early developing stage. This approach is adequate for periodic loading, however, requires very large time records to accurately describe random loading processes. Fatigue damage in conventionally determined … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,454 accessesView PDFCite
