Abstract: A hybrid modeling structure composed of a one degree of freedom computational musculo-skeletal model and a multilayer perceptron neural network was used to effectively map electromyography (EMG) ...

Abstract: This paper describes the development and evaluation of a musculoskeletal model that represents human elbow flexion-extension and forearm pronation-supination. The length, velocity, and moment arm ...

Abstract: A water-bearing granular soil layer within the subsurface of a former manufactured gas plant (MGP) site is impacted with tarry dense nonaqueous phase liquid (DNAPL). A containment wall constructed with the vibrated beam ...

Abstract: Following an extensive literature review, it was established that professional subjective judgment and regression analysis were the two main techniques utilized for predicting the seismic retrofit construction cost. The ...

Abstract: Attempts to predict construction cost represent a problem of continual concern and interest to both practitioners and researchers. Such an attempt is presented here for the specific challenge of cost prediction when ...

Abstract: The recovery of copper by-products from wastewater was achieved by carrying out an adsorption process coupled with an electrochemical system using modified grapefruit peels for metal recovery in a continuous flow. The ...
