Abstract A model of continuum is often used in statics and dynamics modeling with material spatial description. In this paper, we describe body deformation using an innovative approach employing embedding. The mapping ϕ maps a domain from the space R n to image m , where dimensions spaces are necessarily different, usually < . Due different n, determinant not defined, nor reversible. This co...

Vulvar cancer is a rare gynecological malignancy with mainly lymphatic spread. Sentinel node mapping plays an important role in the management of this gynecological malignancy. In the current study, we reported our experience in sentinel node mapping of vulvar cancer and review the literature accordingly. Since the introduction of sentinel node mapping to the surgical oncology community of our ...

ABSTRACT We present a hyperspectral cube of the Crab Nebula obtained with imaging Fourier transform spectrometer SITELLE on Canada–France–Hawaii telescope. describe our techniques used to deconvolve 310 000 individual spectra ($R = 9\, 600$) containing H?, [N ii] ??6548, 6583, and [S ??6716, 6731 emission lines create detailed 3D reconstruction supernova (SN) remnant (SNR) assuming uniform glob...

Aimed at solving the misplaced body trajectory problem caused by the rolling of semi-round rigid feet when a robot is walking, a legged kinematic trajectory correction methodology based on the Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LS-SVM) is proposed. The concept of ideal foothold is put forward for the three-dimensional kinematic model modification of a robot leg, and the deviation value betwe...

Previous studies showed that observing deceptive actions modulates the activity of the observer's motor system. However, it is unclear whether this modulation reflects the coding of deceptive intentions or the mapping of the kinematic adaptations required to attain deceptive actions. Here, we used single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation to measure cortico-spinal excitability (CSE) from h...

The present work proposes a method for human gait and kinematic analysis. Gait analysis consists of the determination of hip, knee and ankle positions through video analysis. Gait kinematic for the thigh and knee is then generated from this data. Evaluations of the gait analysis method indicate an acceptable performance of 86.66% for hip and knee position estimati...

In this paper, kinematic modeling and singularity and stiffness analysis of a 3-d.o.f. redundant parallel manipulator have been elaborated in detail. It is known that, contrary to series manipulators, the forward kinematic map of parallel manipulators involves highly coupled non-linear equations, whose closed-form solution derivation is a real challenge. This issue is of great importance noting...

This paper summarizes the recent progress we have made for the computer vision technologies in physical therapy with the accessible and affordable devices. We first introduce the remote health coaching system we build with Microsoft Kinect. Since the motion data captured by Kinect is noisy, we investigate the data accuracy of Kinect with respect to the high accuracy motion capture system. We al...
