A Digital Behavior Change Intervention for Health Promotion for Adults in Midlife: Protocol for a Multidimensional Assessment Study by Dagmar Soleymani, Dominique Pougheon-Bertrand, Rémi Gagnayre

“…ConclusionsAs no multidimensional assessment protocol is currently available for digital behavior change interventions, our methods reveal that the different framework stages can strengthen the effect measurement, consolidate the choice of assumptions used within the logic model and steer the digital intervention toward action while reducing the burden of information. The suitability of the assessment protocol remains to be evaluated given the delayed launch of the website. …”

A Semi-analytical Calculation Method for Time-varying Meshing Stiffness and Transmission Error of Spiral Bevel Gear by Liao Ping, Wei Jing, Zhang Aiqiang, Zhang Weiqing

“…The traditional method of calculating time-varying meshing stiffness of spiral bevel gears mostly adopted finite element static analysis method, but it needed to be calculated many times, also the single tooth meshing stiffness calculated by the mean value of the node elastic deformation has a large error. For this reason, a calculation method for time-varying meshing stiffness of spiral bevel gear is improved. …”
