Carpal tunnel syndrome and manual work: the OCTOPUS cohort, results of a ten-year longitudinal study
Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 2016 OBJECTIVE: The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) proposed a method to assess the hand, wrist and forearm biomechanical overload based on exertions frequency (hand-activity level) and force use (normalized peak force).

Complete Asymptotic Analysis of a Nonlinear Recurrence Relation with Threshold Control
Advances in Difference Equations, 2010 We consider a three-term nonlinear recurrence relation involving a nonlinear filtering function with a positive threshold λ. We work out a complete asymptotic analysis for all solutions of this equation when the threshold varies from 0+ to ...

Tight Guarantees for Static Threshold Policies in the Prophet Secretary Problem [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 In the prophet secretary problem, $n$ values are drawn independently from known distributions, and presented in a uniformly random order. A decision-maker must accept or reject each value when it is presented, and may accept at most $k$ values in total. The objective is to maximize the expected sum of accepted values.

Limit spectral distribution for non-degenerate hypersurface singularities
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, 2022 We establish Kyoji Saito’s continuous limit distribution for the spectrum of Newton non-degenerate hypersurface singularities. Investigating Saito’s notion of dominant value in the case of irreducible plane curve singularities, we find that the log ...

Thermodynamic Analysis of the Dryout Limit of Oscillating Heat Pipes
Energies, 2020 The operating limits of oscillating heat pipes (OHP) are crucial for the optimal design of cooling systems. In particular, the dryout limit is a key factor in optimizing the functionality of an OHP.

Predicting Relative Thresholds for Object Oriented Metrics [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Object-oriented software metrics provide a numerical characterization of software quality. They have also been used in the assessment and identification of technical debt. However, metrics generally need to be used with thresholds as reference points that help to interpret their values properly and objectively. The problem is that, while there are many

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2019 Background We have previously reported quantitative exposure-response relationships between physical exposures recorded by technical methods, and complaints and diagnoses in the neck/shoulders, and the elbows/hands, based on group data.

Some Experiments in Extreme‐Value Statistical Modeling of Magnetic Superstorm Intensities
Space Weather, 2020 In support of projects for forecasting and mitigating the deleterious effects of extreme space weather storms, an examination is made of the intensities of magnetic superstorms recorded in the Dst index time series (1957–2016).

Feature-Adaptive Interactive Thresholding of Large 3D Volumes [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Thresholding is the most widely used segmentation method in volumetric image processing, and its pointwise nature makes it attractive for the fast handling of large three-dimensional samples. However, global thresholds often do not properly extract components in the presence of artifacts, measurement noise or grayscale value fluctuations.

Near-threshold charged kaon pair production in two protons collisions
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2016 The pp → ppK+K− reaction was measured near threshold at excess energy Q = 4.5 MeV using the COSY-11 detection system installed at the COSY-Juelich accelerator. Preliminary value of upper limit of the total cross section was determined.
