Many long-span bridges have been built throughout the world in recent years but they are often subject to multiple types of dynamic loads, especially those located in wind-prone regions and carrying both trains and road vehicles. To ensure the safety and functionality of these bridges, dynamic responses of long-span bridges are often required for bridge assessment. Given that there are several ...

Background and Aim: The Dynamic Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment for Children (DOTCA-Ch), recently developed in Israel, assesses the cognitive areas: orientation, spatial perception, praxis, visuomotor construction and thinking operations of 6to 12-year-old children. The dynamic aspect, which incorporates mediation and prompting, has been presented as a valuable clinical feature of thi...

In this study, a computerized dynamic assessment test with both immediately individualized feedback and adaptively property was applied to Mathematics learning in primary school. For evaluating the effectiveness of the computerized dynamic adaptive test, the performances of three types of remedial instructions were compared by a pre-test/post-test nonequivalent group design. These remedial inst...

The aim of the present study was to confirm the contribution of dynamic images in sentinel lymphoscintigraphy in malignant skin neoplasms: precisely, to investigate if dynamic images were necessary and to observe if dynamic images could reduce the areas needed for biopsy and dissection. Twenty-five patients with malignant skin neoplasms of the lower (n = 21) and upper (n = 4) extremities were r...

BACKGROUND Static balancing assessment is often complemented with dynamic balancing tasks. Numerous dynamic balancing assessment methods have been developed in recent decades with their corresponding balancing devices and tasks. OBJECTIVE The aim of this systematic literature review is to identify and categorize existing objective methods of standing dynamic balancing ability assessment with ...

A number of High Dynamic Range (HDR) video compression algorithms proposed to date have either been developed in isolation or only-partially compared with each other. Previous evaluations were conducted using quality assessment error metrics, which for the most part were developed for qualitative assessment of Low Dynamic Range (LDR) videos. This paper presents a comprehensive objective and sub...

A new readout imaging system with enhanced dynamic range (DR) and low power consumption is presented. The DR is enhanced by using feedback to control the integration time of the sensor. The feedback is implemented within an in-pixel-level ADC. The power consumption is reduced by switching the bias circuit off when it is not needed for the system, this readout circuit is used for a hybrid sensor...

| The need for high dynamic range analog to digital converters (ADCs) is strong due to the growing use of digital signal processing in communications applications. ADC performance has improved over the years due to advances in both design concepts and semiconductor technologies. However most ADCs still still exhibit undesirable distortion in addition to quantization error, thus limiting spuriou...

Risk assessment is an essential process in managing software development. Performing risk assessment in the early development phases enhances the resource allocation decisions. Several methodologies for risk assessment were developed, mostly based on subjective judgment. In this paper we use the Unified Modeling language (UML), and a dynamic metrics based methodology developed in earlier work. ...

UNLABELLED We describe a model for assessment of lexical-semantic organization skills in American Sign Language (ASL) within the framework of dynamic vocabulary assessment and discuss the applicability and validity of the use of mediated learning experiences (MLE) with deaf signing children. Two elementary students (ages 7;6 and 8;4) completed a set of four vocabulary tasks and received two 30-...
