The classification of human motion is an important aspect of monitoring pedestrian traffic. This requires the development of advanced surveillance and monitoring systems. Methods to achieve this have been proposed using micro-Doppler radars. However, reliable long-term data and/or complicated procedures are needed to classify motion accurately with these conventional methods because their accur...

Study Objective: To assess the accuracy of respiration rate measurements and the ability to detect apnea by capnometry, impedance pneumography and a new method, acoustic respiration rate monitoring, in anesthetized patients undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures. Design: Prospective observational study. Setting: Endoscopy procedures laboratory. Patients: 98 patients scheduled for uppe...

This paper examines efficient and decentralized monitoring of objects moving in a transportation network. Previous work in moving object monitoring has focused primarily on centralized information systems, like moving object databases and GIS. By contrast, in this paper monitoring is in-network, requiring no centralized control and allowing for substantial spatial constraints to the movement of...

in this article, the writer discusses the concept of modernity and its relationship with social movements, as is reflected in classical works on modernity as well as in the contemporary modern political and sociological thoughts. the purpose is not to present a quantitative analysis of the development of the concept of modernity, but to explain the relationship between modernity and political a...

There is concern that our reproductive systems are exposed to environmental hazards. A number of potential monitors of these hazards have been proposed (reported rates of cryptorchidism, testicular cancer, hypospadias, dizygotic twinning, sperm count, ectopic pregnancy and sex ratios). To discover whether these are monitoring the same hazards, secular movements in these measures are considered ...
