  • Sling exercise treatment(S-E-T) is a therapeutic exercise based on scientific studies for the purpose of treating musculoskeletal or neurological disorders thereby improving strength, endurance, and skills for sensory-motor integration. Exercise resistance and intensity can be modified in various ways by changing the length of rope, patient position, therapist's manual resistance, and using elastic rope. The therapist can also progress to successively higher levels of exercise resistance and intensity by changing the position of the hanging point: the subject of this article. In brief, there are three axial components in S-E-T; hanging point, motor axis, and suspension point. The hanging point can be changed in several ways in relation to the joint; axial, superior, inferior, medial, and posterior hanging points. The position of the hanging point affects the amount of load on agonist and antagonist muscles as well as on the range of motion. To create an advanced exercise program, selection of hanging point can be two-dimensional such as superior-lateral or anterior-medial. Therapists, therefore, can freely but carefully select the best hanging point based on the purpose of the exercise and their level of knowledge in S-E-T.

  • This paper deals with one of the hottest debates in the history of the Association for Asian American Studies (AAAS) since its inception in the late 1960s. In 1998 at Hawai'i, the AAAS awarded Lois-Ann Yamanaka its Fiction Award for her novel Blu's Hanging, only to have this award protested. The point at issue was the inappropriate representation of Filipino American characters called "Human Rats" in the novel. This event divided the association into two groups: one criticizing the novel for the problematic portrayal of Filipinos in colonial Hawai'i, and the other defending it from the criticism in the name of aesthetic freedom. Such a "crisis of representation" in Asian American identity reflects on the ways in which local Hawaiians are positioned in the complicate power dynamic between oppositional Hawaiian identity and cosmopolitan diasporic identity within the larger framework of Asian American pan-ethnic identity. The controversial event triggered the eruption of Asian Americans' anxiety over the identity-bounded nation of Asian America where intra-racial classism and conflict have been at play, which are primary themes of Blu's Hanging. This paper shows how Yamanaka's Blu's Hanging becomes so disturbing a work to prevent the hegemonic formality of Asian America identity from being fully dogmatic. Ultimately, it contradicts the political unconscious of the reading public and unmasked its false consciousness by engendering a "free subjective intervention" in the ideological reality of colonial Hawai'i.

  • The purpose of this study is to consider structural issues and analyze construction sequences when constructing hanging floors supported by Mega truss. Since suspended structures were supported by the Mega truss, vertical load on suspended structures was needed to transfer from low to high. Deflection management of structures was the primary point under construction. The results of this study were as follows; The steel structures, which has relatively lighter self-weight, were constructed upwards after the base floor steel truss erection. Concrete Placing, which has relatively heavier self-weight, were performed in two phases to minimize structure's deflection. Slab was placed downwards from the top floor to lower floor whereas column was places upwards. Deflection measurements were carried out at every construction sequences.

  • This paper presents a simplified analysis method of determining the initial shape of suspension bridges, including the horizontal tension force of the main cable and the locations of each hanging point, considering the force equilibrium condition of each hanging point. This method is effective because it requires less effort than the methods used in other studies, for which complicated non-linear analysis was used, to comparatively determine the exact initial shape. The accuracy and validity of the present method are demonstrated by comparing the results of this study with those of previous researchers' numerical examples, including 2D and 3D models.

  • The purpose of this study is to classify of the ancient belt 'the Gwathai' especially in the timesof three countries. For this purpose the Gwathai was classified as to the motif which was decorated on the plate of the Gwathai and also another parts of the Gwathai were studied. The Gwathai could be classified of three parts. The first rectangular plate and the hanging part with heart motif and the second reverse-heart plate. The character of the third part was the specificity of the plate motif. Also there was a hanging part at the Gwathai and it was organized with the diverse form At first it was used for the practical pur-pose and then later for the decorational pur-pose. But this study could'nt reval the chang channel of the Gwathai and the relation be-tween region. This is the limit of this study. So more study is necessary to clarify this point.

  • As the Wenchuan Earthquake was of high magnitude and shallow seismic focus, it caused great damage and serious geo-hazards. By the field investigation and remote-sensing interpretation after the earthquake and by using means of GIS, the distribution of geo-hazards triggered by the earthquake was analyzed and the conclusions are as follows: (1) the earthquake geo-hazards showed the feature of zonal distribution along the earthquake fault zone and linear distribution along the rivers; (2) the distribution of earthquake geo-hazards had a marked hanging wall effect, for the development density of geo-hazards in the hanging wall of earthquake fault was obviously higher than that in the foot wall and the width of strong development zone in the hanging wall was about 10 km; (3) the topographical slope was a main factor which controlled the development of earthquake geo-hazards and a vast majority of geo-hazards were distributed on the slopes of 20 to 50 degrees; (4) the earthquake geo-hazards had a corresponding relationship with the elevation and micro-landform, for most hazards happened in the river valleys and canyon sections below the elevation of 1500 to 2000 m, particularly in the upper segment of canyon sections (namely, the turning point from the dale to the canyon). Thin ridge, isolated or full-face space mountains were most sensitive to the seismic wave, and had a striking amplifying effect. In these areas, collapses and landslides were most likely to develop; (5) the study also showed that different lithologies determined the types of geo-hazards, and usually, landslides occurred in soft rocks, while collapses occurred in hard rocks.

  • In this study, the static and modal analyses to find the characteristic of eigenvalues for a towed cable were with a free boundary condition at the bottom end carried out with numerical study. The resulting numerical code with finite element method was used to study sample problems for a cable with towing speeds. After tracing the equilibrium state with a towing speed through the static analysis, modal analysis on the basis of static results was performed. The static top tension for a critical towing speed is nearly 50 percent of what it was for a free hanging pipe. From static analyses, it is found that towing speed has a noticeable effect on top tension of a towed pipe. At a high towing speed, differences between the first and second periods become larger. Compared to the fundamental period for a free hanging pipe, that for a towed pipe with a critical towing speed is approximately 1.4 times larger. This result is very important point in that the lock in condition and tension of the towed cable system with top excitation can be predicted. The corrected close form solution to solve natural periods for a towed cable was presented in this study. The code is validated by comparison of the results of theoretical and numerical studies. Two results were in very good agreement. This study can contribute to predicting the lock-in condition and tension for a towed cable or pipe with top excitation.

  • This study presents a dynamic simulation of a purse seine net behavior Mathematical model suitable for purse seining, which is based on data from a series of previous simulations, various field experiments, is modelized as a set of mass-spring system. In this model, a number of meshes are approximated as one mass point, each of which connected to its neighbors by massless springs, the equations of motion are derived from considering internal force from the springs and external forces such as resistance and gravitation. This simulation shows the quantitative state on every mass point of the net and purse line during the shooting and pursing phases. So it is possible that performance of a purse seine net be analyzed using various and evolving parameters such as the shooting speed, the hauling speed, the size or type of the sinker, float and twine, also the hanging ratio etc.

  • Arc sensor gives important groove information during welding. Automatic seam tracking control system with arc sensor has significant characteristics such that bead formation is given as decentralization of penetration and formation of concave bead profile and that a turning point of transverse weaving with constant arc length control is decided whether or not torch height reaches to a specified setting level. Furthermore, the rotating action of the arc prevents hanging of weld bead and forms flat bead surface under high speed welding condition. The variation of groove and deposition area can be detected from the trace of weaving. The area and width of weaving trace has close correlation with the area of groove and deposition. In this paper, main object of this system is to realize an adaptive microprocessor based controller ...
