Uplift loaded standing seam roof systems
… predict the failure of an uplift-loaded standing seam roof system. Four sets of full-scale tests were conducted and their results were analyzed along with previous results (Anderson 1991). It was found that by normalizing the data, a reduction factor could be established for each test set …

VO2Max Comparison Between Seated and Standing Ergometry
… Test (GXT). Previous studies show V02max during standing cycle ergometry protocols and treadmill protocols to be similar, while seated cycle ergometry V02tnax values are lower. Conversely, other studies show seated and standing cycle ergometry V02max to be comparable. Because previous studies are …

An investigation into the ergonomics of standing
This section examines the literature on standing and attempts to build up a comprehensive picture of what happens when a human being stands upright. The review starts by exploring those changes to the skeleton and musculature which have enabled homo sapiens to be erect. This is followed by a look …

Standing seam roof system strength under uplift loading
… for uplift loading of C- and Z-purlin supported, standing seam metal building roof systems. To achieve this end, eight sets of full-scale roof system tests were conducted. Each test set consisted of a single span base test and a three-span, multi-purlin line, confirming test. The base test method …

Nonlinear interactions among standing surface and internal gravity waves
… interacting waves, all waves here considered are standing waves. The growth to steady state of a resonant internal wave is observed while two deep water surface eigen modes are simultaneously forced by a paddle. Results are compared to theoretical predictions which assume, ab initio, all waves to …
