Body-wide anatomy recognition on CT images with pathology becomes crucial for quantifying body-wide disease burden. This, however, is a challenging problem because various diseases result in various abnormalities of objects such as shape and intensity patterns. We previously developed an automatic anatomy recognition (AAR) system [1] whose applicability was demonstrated on near normal diagnosti...

Heat losses from occupant body by means of convection, radiation, vapor, and sweat are essential data for indoor climate and energy simulations. Heat losses depend on the metabolic activity and body surface area. Higher variations of body surface area of occupants are observed in day care centers, kinder gardens and schools compared to other building categories (Tables 2 and 3) and these variat...

This paper investigates the vibration isolation performance of isolated box structures. Isolated box inside building is a one of the building isolation designs. Some experimental methods are developed to analyze the effects of bending mode of the box structure on vibration isolation efficiency. The vibration reduction performance of an isolated box inside building is found to be degraded by ben...
