Methods: Six male pilots participated in traffic pattern flight in a flight simulator. A head-mounted SIM-ETG60 eye tracking system was conducted in measuring total amount of eye movement and average of pupil diameter in five different flight phases, which contained last 10 s of cruise on the downwind leg, mid 10 s of turn and descend on the base leg, first 10 s, mid 10 s and last 10 s of final...

Measurements and quantitative analysis of kinematic parameters of human hand movements have an important role in different areas such as hand function rehabilitation, modeling of multi-digits robotic hands, and the development of machine-man interfaces. In this paper the assessment and evaluation of the reachto-grasp movement by using computerized and robot-assisted method is described. Experim...

This article describes the main features and implementation of our automatic data distribution research tool. The tool (DDT) accepts programs written in Fortran 77 and generates High Performance Fortran (HPF) directives to map arrays onto the memories of the processors and parallelize loops, and executable statements to remap these arrays. DDT works by identifying a set of computational phases ...

PURPOSE Evaluate the potentially adaptive movement patterns associated with acute lateral ankle sprain (LAS) using biomechanical analyzes. METHODS Thirty participants with acute LAS and nineteen controls performed a drop vertical jump (DVJ) task. 3D kinematic and sagittal plane kinetic profiles were plotted for the hip, knee and ankle joints of both limbs for the drop jump (phase 1) and drop ...

We introduce a new model for objects which can move around on a cellular grid. The model consists of two phases, the movement phase and the con ict resolution phase. In the movement part of the description objects specify their desired direction. The con ict, which occurs when alternative objects want to move to the same free cell, is resolved in the con ict resolution part. The cellular descri...

Conventional batch chromatography is relatively inefficient in terms of adsorbent and solvent consumption and significant benefits can be achieved by performing separation of high-added value products, such as enantiomers produced in the pharmaceutical industry, with a simulated moving bed (SMB) process (Lehoucq et al., 2000). The SMB process allows a counter-current movement of the liquid and ...

Over the last few years protest movements such as the Arab Spring, the Spanish Indignados movement, and the Occupy protests, have cascaded through the Middle East and the rest of the world.1 All of these were portrayed as ‘Internet Revolutions’, or at least as having been accelerated by the communicative capabilities of the Internet (Hamdy 1The Arab Spring is also named ‘Arab Uprisings’ by some...

Natural phenomena show that many creatures form large social groups and move in regular patterns. Previous In this paper, we first propose an efficient distributed mining algorithm to jointly identify a group of moving objects and discover their movement patterns in wireless sensor networks. Afterward, we propose a compression algorithm, called 2P2D, which exploits the obtained group movement p...

Human gait is a spatiotemporally complex motion, where each segment and joint motion during gait is coupled across other joints. These spatiotemporal joint coupling patterns are closely associated with musculoskeletal injury mechanics, but previous tools used to examine human gait have mainly focused on univariate measures such as stride, step length, maximum range of motion, and the durations ...

By simultaneously recording multi-neuronal activities through chronically implanted electrode arrays in motor and sensory cortices, arm movement trajectory, and muscle activities, we observed both spatial and temporal differences in neuronal activities during different phases of a reaching task. We also discovered that when developing an effective control strategy to overcome an externally appl...
