Grinding is a machining process widely applied in the manufacture of products that require low tolerance and high-dimensional accuracy. One of the most critical issues in this manufacturing process is the material burn ...

When rating any assessment protocol one of the key issues is to determine the validity and reliability of the devices used. The aim of this study was to analyze the validity and reliability of the variable velocity isokinetic ...

In deterministic optimization, the uncertainties of the structural system (i.e. dimension, model, material, loads, etc) are not explicitly taken into account. Hence, resulting optimal solutions may lead to reduced reliability ...

Background There is a critical need for validation studies of questionnaires designed to assess the level of control of asthma in children younger than 5 years old. Objective To validate the Spanish version of the Test ...
