In recent years, an increased interest in the use of the spacetime cube to visualize movement data can be witnessed. However, little is known about whether the cube is truly efficient and effective to satisfactorily display complex movement datasets. The limited usability research that has been done did not lead to details on how the STC content should be designed and whether the cartographic d...

In the light of rapidly growing repositories capturing the movement trajectories of people in spacetime, the need for trajectory compression becomes obvious. This paper argues for semantic trajectory compression (STC) as a means of substantially compressing the movement trajectories in an urban environment with acceptable information loss. STC exploits that human urban movement and its large–sc...

Detection of an early stage of subglottic edema is vital for airway management and prevention of stenosis, a life-threatening condition in critically ill neonates. As an observer for the task of diagnosing edema in vivo, we investigated spatiotemporal correlation (STC) of full-range optical coherence tomography (OCT) images acquired in the rabbit airway with experimentally simulated edema. Oper...

A new control method switching time computation STC method announced in Reference is described in detail for single input nonlinear systems and the mathematical reasoning behind it is explained A concatenation of constant input arcs is used to get from an initial point to the target and an optimization procedure is employed to nd the necessary time lengths of the arcs General di culties of the ...

Spatially targeted communication (STC) allows amessage sender to choosemessage recipients based on their location in space. Currently, STC in multirobot systems is limited to centralized systems. In this paper, we propose a novel communication protocol that enables STC in decentralizedmultirobot systems.Theproposedprotocol dispenses with the many aspects that underpin previous approaches, inclu...

Gastrointestinal hormones such as cholecystokinin (CCK), glucagon like peptide 1 (GLP-1), and peptide YY (PYY) play an important role in suppressing hunger and controlling food intake. These satiety hormones are secreted from enteroendocrine cells present throughout the intestinal tract. The intestinal secretin tumor cell line (STC-1) possesses many features of native intestinal enteroendocrine...

Aimed at the divergence problem in the traditional Kalman Filtering (KF) channel estimation algorithm due to the inaccurate state transfer coefficient (STC), this paper proposes a novel KF channel estimation method using the STC with threshold correction. By setting a reasonable threshold, the estimation performance of STC can be greatly improved in the time-varying Ultra-Wideband (UWB) channel...

Purpose: To assess the histologic rescue of photoreceptors with stannocalcin-1 (STC-1) protein therapy in an in vivo porcine model of retinal degeneration. To assess the functional therapeutic efficacy of stannocalcin-1 (STC-1) protein therapy on the rescue of photoreceptors in an in vivo porcine model of retinal degeneration. To test the hypotheses that STC-1 improves the expression of photore...

With the development of Steel Truss Corridor (STC) toward long-span and gentle development, human-induced vibration often causes large lateral problems time-delay effects STC, which will have a non-negligible impact on dynamic performance STC. In this paper, parametric model proposed by Piccardo is improved, nonlinear equation STC established considering longitudinal–lateral walking force coupl...

BACKGROUND Constipation is a common clinical symptom but its etiology remains unknown. The aims of the study are to discuss the relation between body mass index (BMI), motilin and the slow transit constipation (STC). METHODS A total of 178 patients with STC and 123 healthy volunteers as controls were divided into three groups according to the BMI, group A (BMI <20), group B (BMI 20-25), and g...
