The Doppler tracing is a sensitive method for depicting movement of the heart wall, valves, and blood flow. This communication reports the authors' experience with the Doppler method in normal persons and patients with various cardiac arrhythmias. Three main components are recognized in the Doppler tracing: the presystolic component, a; component v, due to systolic movement of the ventricles; a...

The bee products quality monitoring and tracing information service platform was researched and developed. This paper describes the design concept and critical technologies for the construction of the bee products quality monitoring and tracing information service platform. The system has functions of remote information collection, production-purchase-processing automatic coding, bar code gener...

This paper details a simplified implementation of a bidirectional ray tracer as presented in [Lafortune and Willems 1993], and the path tracing equivalent presented and implemented in [Pharr and Humphreys 2004].

Recent research on high-performance ray tracing has achieved real-time performance even for highly complex surface models already on a single PC. In this report we provide an overview of techniques for extending real-time ray tracing also to interactive volume rendering. We review fast rendering techniques for different volume representations and rendering modes in a variety of computing enviro...

We propose a discrete model to investigate the role of contact tracing program reducing the newcases and prevalence of tuberculosis. We observe that the tuberculosis contact tracing program has no effect on the basic reproduction number R0 but the size of social cluster has. On the other hand a contact tracing program can speed up the process of TB elimination. We compute the partial rank corre...

There are many schemes in the literature for protecting digital data from piracy by the use of digital fingerprinting, such as frameproof codes and traitor-tracing schemes. The concept of traitor tracing has been applied to a digital broadcast setting in the form of dynamic traitor-tracing schemes and sequential traitor-tracing schemes, which could be used to combat piracy of pay-TV broadcasts,...

Large-scale simulation and high quality of microwave brightness temperature imaging is the key technology for passive target detection. We applied the space meshing ray tracing method for brightness temperature tracing to establish a model of tracing and inversion. Simulated images were then compared with the measured images to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. Results showed tha...

reactive power management plays an essential role in the secure operation of the power system as an ancillary service. although in electricity markets, the particular attention is paid to active power, the reactive power also plays an important on total generation costs of electricity. on the other hand, as it is mainly confined to local consumption, to avoid market power and maintain the secur...

in this paper, for the purpose of investigating horizontal sound propagation, based on the results obtained from practical measurements in the strait of hormoz and available data on sound speed variations at different depths, a comprehensive model for shallow water multipath underwater acoustic channel is presented. mathematical modeling of multipath effect is based on ray theory and the image ...
