The deformation of a speckled region of interest (ROI) at the surface of the material specimen is analyzed with digital image correlation (DIC). DIC is a non-contact measurement technique, well-suited to determine constitutive properties of heterogenous materials [7]. For wood and wood polymer ...
Instead, by simulating top-down activity in a network model of cortex, we demonstrate that this property is well explained by the hierarchical structure of the visual system. Together, modeling and empirical results suggest that computational constraints imposed by visual system architecture limit the ...
The LSA, which is a self-reported scale consisting of five levels, was developed by Baker et al.8to quantify mobility. It addresses the full continuum of mobility and changes in mobility based on the relationship between a person and the environment. Its test–retest reliability is excellent, ...
If this property has a value of false, an environment entry value is read from, and written to, the deployment descriptor. Any environment entry value that is specified in the XML bindings is ignored. If this property is not specified, or has a value of true, an environment entry value ...
Furthermore, a unified empirical likelihood inference is developed to test the predictability regardless of the properties of the predicting variable. A simulation study is conducted to confirm the efficiency of the proposed methods before applying to a real example....
To be included, studies had to: (1) report sEMG properties in SCI participants (≥ 4 SCI individuals); (2) include participants with traumatic SCI (> 50% of the total SCI sample); and (3) be written in English. Regarding (1), we defined the sample size threshold a priori to ...
// and the child is of the calculated radius. element.Arrange(new Rect( childPoint.X - childRadius / 2.0, childPoint.Y - childRadius / 2.0, childRadius, childRadius)); } // we used up all of the space return finalSize; } Now the panel is written we can test it out with some ...
(h\)leads to the occurrence of more thermal cycles per unit length, producing larger cumulative plastic strains in the material and thus larger dislocation densities. We test this hypothesis using a combination of experiments and simulations. We calculate the GND density based on the average local...
This study aimed to analyse the effect of playing surface temperature on muscular and thermal response to a repeated-sprint ability (RSA) test in football players. Thirty-two male football players (23 ± 5 years; 1.77 ± 0.06 m; 71.2 ± 6.7 kg) from two squads of a thi...
In a noticeable percentage of patients anterolateral rotational instabilities (ALRI) remain after an isolated ACL reconstruction. Those instabilities may occur due to an insufficiently directed damage of anterolateral structures that is often associated
