In this study, we study on the downlink indoor coverage performance of unmanned air vehicle (UAV) base stations. We consider a probabilistic expression for air-to-ground (ATG) path loss, and a deterministic one for additional indoor losses in order to provide a practical model. One of our important assumptions is that the UAV base station operates…

Background: Occupational injuries are an issue of huge significance in the United States. After a work injury, health care providers often utilize functional capacity evaluations to determine readiness of a patient to return to work.
