We initiate a systematic investigation into the nature of the function αK (L, ρ) that gives the volume of the intersection of one convex body K in Rn and a dilatate ρL of another convex body L in Rn, as well as the function ηK (L, ρ) that gives the (n − 1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure of the intersection of K and the boundary ∂(ρL) of ρL. The focus is on the concavity properties of αK (L, ρ). ...

The cemented filling body is taken as the object of this study, whose nonlinear dynamic characteristics of damage and instability are researched by virtue of acoustic emission (AE) under uniaxial cyclic loading and unloading test. The results show that there exists similarity in variation trend between correlation dimension and maximum Lyapunov exponent during each loading stage, which also ver...

This paper explores the capabilities of convolutional neural networks to deal with a task that is easily manageable for humans: perceiving 3D pose of a human body from varying angles. However, in our approach, we are restricted to using a monocular vision system. For this purpose, we apply a convolutional neural network approach on RGB videos and extend it to three dimensional convolutions. Thi...

The purpose of this study was to establish normal echocardiographic measurements of valvular motion, cavity dimensions, great vessel diameters, and right, left and septal wall thicknesses of children ranging in size from infants to full growth. The study group was composed of 205 normal, healthy children for whom echocardiograms and subsequent measurements were performed in a standardized manne...

In healthy nonathletic populations, some left ventricle (LV) parameters such as LV mass (LVM) and LV end diastolic dimension (LVEDD) can be predicted by some of body size parameters such as body surface area (BSA), fat-free mass (FFM), and height (H). These body size parameters use to remove covariate influence of body size from cardiac dimension variables and allow comparisons to be made betwe...

Abstract In this paper, we attempt to show some consequences of bringing the body back into higher education, through use performing arts in curricular context scientific programs. We start by arguing that dominant traditions education reproduced mind-body dualism shaped social matrix meanings on knowledge transmission. highlight limits modern disembodied and decontextualized reason suggest tha...
