Handicapped car lifting seat
… a working conceptual model of a handicapped car lifting seat. An initial cost analysis is performed, an apparatus is designed, all necessary materials are gathered, an apparatus is constructed, and the device is tested. The result was the successful completion of a device that successfully …

Mental Health Workout: Lifting Stigma
<p>Mental illness affects one out of every five Americans between the ages 13-18, and it is estimated that two-thirds of these individuals will not seek treatment due to the stigma associated with having a mental illness or mental health issue (National Alliance on Mental Illness). Access to …

Nonstandard techniques in lifting theory
In this dissertation, a nonstandard approach to lifting theory developed by Bliedtner and Loeb is applied to liftings on topological measure spaces and group measure spaces. A further application to disintegrations of measures is given.

Armband EMG-based Lifting Detection and Load Classification Algorithms using Static and Dynamic Lifting Trials
… biomechanical risk exposures. In terms of lifting, the occupational work environment does not provide resources for recording the start and end times of lifting tasks performed by individual workers. As a result, automatic detection of lift starts and ends is required for practical …

Jádra schématu lifting pro vlnkovou transformaci
Práce se zaměřuje na efektivní výpočet dvourozměrné diskrétní vlnkové transformace. Současné metody jsou v práci rozšířeny v několika směrech a to tak, aby spočetly tuto transformaci v jediném průchodu, a to případně víceúrovňově, použitím kompaktního jádra. Tohle jádro dále může být vhodně …

Directional image representations using nonseparable lifting
… is not limited to a single dimension. Within the lifting framework of perfect reconstruction filter banks, sparse representation requires prediction filters able to adapt to the local structure of the signal. As most images are locally regular except at edges, this adaptation adjusts the support …

New error correcting codes from lifting
… exploit a natural algebraic operation known as "lifting" to construct new affine-invariant codes from shorter base codes. These lifted codes generically possess desirable combinatorial and algorithmic properties. The lifting operation preserves the distance of the base code. Moreover, lifted …

Aerodynamics of lifting surfaces in propeller slipstreams
… can severely affect the aerodynamic forces on a lifting surface. Steady-state computational results for a symmetric SD8020 airfoil with chord length of 1 ft in a propeller slipstream at a freestream Reynolds number of 100,000 are presented in this study. ANSYS FLUENT was used to solve the flow …

Propeller performance analysis using lifting line theory
… in producing the open water diagram is to use lifting line theory to characterize the propeller blades. The bound circulation on the lifting line is a function of the blade geometry along with the blade velocity (both rotational and axial). Lerbs provided a method to evaluate the circulation …

Numerical simulation of two-dimensional lifting flow
The panel method is reviewed, in which linear polynomials are used to approximate the vorticity distribution on the surface of a body. Two new panel methods are developed, in which quadratic and cubic polynomials are used in an attempt to make the derivative of the velocity continuous along the …

Lifting Analysis of Precast Prestressed Concrete Beams
Motivated by Robert Mast's original papers on lifting stability, this research study provides a method for predicting beam behavior during lifting, with application in the construction of bridges. A beam lifting cracking limit state is developed based on analytical equations for calculating the …

Lifting the Veil off Widowhood: Portraits of Transformation
This qualitative research study has explored the lives of 13 women who were widowed before the age of 55, who are professionals, educators, businesswomen, and community activists, to learn how their lives have been transformed since the death of their spouse. For this study, the death of a spouse …

Lifting Failed Sanctions: Alliances, Reputations, and Instrumental Deference
… foreign audiences infer it from past behavior. Lifting sanctions without concessions signals that a sender is unwilling to bear costs over time, thereby reducing the effectiveness of future coercion and deterrence. To avoid these reputational costs, states frequently persist in sanctions even …

Biomechanical analysis of asymmetric and dynamic lifting task
Lifting tasks is one of the leading causes of occupational lower back disorders (LBD). Aimed at deriving internal forces of human musculoskeletal system during lifting, biomechanical models are utilized to address this problem. This thesis provides an indepth literature review of such modeling, and …

Lifting Module Maps Between Different Noncommutative Domain Algebras
… extended Sarason's approach into a commutant lifting theorem. Both the theorem and the technique of the proof have become standard tools in control theory. In particular, the commutant lifting theorem approach lends itself to a wide range of generalizations. This thesis concerns one such …

Towards an Automated Weight Lifting Coach: Introducing LIFT
… a well-known visual tool to help diagnose weightlifting technique deficiencies, but requires a camera pointed at the athlete that is integrated with motion-tracking software. This camera set up is not available at most gyms, so this motivates the use of a small, unobtrusive sensor to obtain data …
