The Validity and Inter-Rater Reliability of a Video-Based Posture-Matching Tool to Estimate Cumulative Loads on the Lower Back [PDF]
Journal of Biomedical Physics and Engineering, 2022 Background: Low back pain (LBP) is known as one of the most common work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Spinal cumulative loads (CLs) during manual material handling (MMH) tasks are the main risk factors for LBP.

Evaluation of Micro-focused Ultrasound for Lifting and Tightening the Face [PDF]
Archives of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2015 Background Micro-focused ultrasound (MFU) has developed as an effective, noninvasive, skin-tightening method. However, certain factors have limited its replacement of invasive surgical procedures, including a relative lack of efficacy, persistence, and ...

Estimation of the efficiency of road construction machines in the design [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesThe reasons for the decrease in the efficiency of road construction machines are fluctuations in speed and load, deviations of which from the optimal value in terms of efficiency and causes an increase in energy losses and a decrease in efficiency.

Granular jamming based robotic gripper for heavy objects; pp. 421–428 [PDF]
Proceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences, 2019 Moving heavy objects with overhead cranes requires the operator to fasten the object to a hook with ropes or chains. This is a time-consuming process, which could be avoided by using universal grippers that can lift objects of any shape.

Aesthetic Surgery Journal, 2005 Patients with gland hyperplasia as well as thickening and redundancy of nasal skin who receive treatment that addresses only the support structures generally suffer from lack of definition of the nasal tip. We report on a case in which this problem was treated by redefinition of the nasal dorsum and tip through resection of the redundant skin.
