The Effect of Load Stabilizer Selection on Load Shift Within Unit Loads
… stretch hooding, 80ga and 63ga stretch wrap and strapping were tested. Twenty unit loads for both vibration and impact testing were used, with 5 replications per load stabilizer. Container displacement and pallet-container displacement were measured, and the number of tares in the load stabilizer …

The epidemiology of injuries in South African high school soccer players
… aware of appropriate stretching, warm-up, and strapping techniques to prevent injuries. None of the players engaged in any form of pre-season training. In two of the schools (20%) the soccer coaches had formal training with coaching certification. Although the injury rate in high school soccer …

The effect of structure on the mass transport of acetaldehyde in virgin and recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate)
… for the production of bottles, sheets, films, strapping and injection moulded products. PET bottles are extensively used for various food-packaging applications, particularly in developed countries, which is leading to disposal problems. Presently, there is an increasing emphasis throughout the …

Korsgaard on Reason and the Normativity of Rationality
… to defeat the intuition that charges of boot-strapping are deeply problematic, and makes the adoption of reasons for belief from the deliberative perspective a function of an agent's commitment to principles and not of her seeing the belief as true), but that she is unable to account for the …

Suicide Terrorism: Understanding the Mindset and Motives
… of executing the acts of suicide terrorism; strapping explosives to their bodies and or steering some sort of transportation into a place of gathering. The methodology of this study is an auto-ethnography. The auto-ethnography is designed to find understanding of personal experiences using a …

Advanced data bus architecture using CDMA for highly reliable systems
… architectures require extensive cross-strapping of redundant modules. The purpose of this thesis is to prove the feasibility of the use of code division multiple access (CDMA) to permit shared data bus architecture for fault-tolerant applications. Four families of pseudorandom codes, …

Influence of implementing straps on pulsed relativistic magnetron operation
… and 2\u03c0-mode at large radii. In general, strapping appears to offer several advantages for use in the A6 magnetron. For conditions where the A6 performs well, replacing the anode endcaps with either a double strap or a single strap tied to each vane produced 10-15% greater output power …

Bracing requirements for post-frame endwalls
… such endwall reinforcement. Flat steel strapping 1s proposed for use as supplemental reinforcement to replace this lost strength and stiffness. An analysis procedure was developed, with the intention of serving as input to endwall diaphragm design. Using PPSA 3.00 and calibrated endwall …

Tuning Into The Planet: Scientists are collecting and archiving soundscapes before they disappear
… changes in an ecosystem facing threats. By strapping recorders onto trees or tripods, scientists can also track how ecosystems change in response to human disruptions, like air traffic and logging, or track biodiversity and shifts brought on by climate change. Collecting and archiving the …

The Effect of McConnell Shoulder Taping on Shoulder Muscle EMG and Shoulder Torque Productions in Subjects With Anterior Shoulder Instability
… layer of tape followed by application of a rigid strapping tape (corrective) to restrain excessive translation of the humeral head. The aims of this study were to determine the effects of McConnell shoulder taping on EMG amplitude of ten shoulder muscles and on shoulder joint peak torque between …

Experiments and Analysis of Water-filled Tubes Used as Temporary Flood Barriers
… tubes. In order to cause a sliding failure, a strapping system was developed to try and prevent the tubes from rolling. A single tube at rest, filled with water but with no external hydrostatic pressure, was considered for analysis first. The tube rested on a rigid foundation and was assumed to …

Modeling Permissive Left-Turn Gap Acceptance Behavior at Signalized Intersections
The research presented in this thesis, studies driver gap acceptance behavior for permissive left turn movements at signalized intersections. The thesis attempts to model the gap acceptance behavior using three different approaches, a deterministic statistical approach, a stochastic approach, and a …

Ventilerad luftspalt i yttervägg : luftomsättningar och konvektiv fukttransport
Allvarliga fuktproblem i ytterväggar med regelstomme av trä och fasadskikt av puts på isolering har under senare delen av 2000-talet konstaterats i Sverige. Ett alternativ byggsätt för den putsade fasaden är att putsa mot ett skivunderlag som sitter monterat mot läkt så att en luftspalt bildas. Om …
