In this paper, we describe a compression scheme for volumetric video data(3D space 1D time) where each frame of the volume is decompressed and rendered in real-time. Since even one frame size of volume is very large, run-time decompression can be a bottleneck for real-time playback of time-varying volume data. To increase the run-time decompression speed and compression ratio, we decompose the ...

The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the postactivation potentiation (PAP) effects of both dynamic and isometric maximum voluntary contractions (MVCs) on sprint and jump performance and establish whether PAP methods could be used effectively in warm up protocols for soccer players. Twelve male soccer players performed 4 warm up protocols in a cross over, randomised and counterbalan...

Background Currently used clinical assessments for physical function do not objectively quantify daily activities in routine living. Wearable activity monitors enable objective measurement of routine daily activities, but do not map to clinically measured physical performance measures. Methods We represent physical function as a daily activity profile derived from minute-level activity data obt...

The fast normalized cross-correlation (NCC) calculation method presented here features low computational requirements, which makes it suitable for being implemented in real time onboard micro-controllers with very few resources. This was adapted making distance measurements, using a high speed optic flow sensor operating at 20m?s. An application of this study is to develop proof concept an inno...

A method is presented to obtain underwater topography for coastal areas using state-of-the-art remote sensing data and techniques worldwide. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data from the new German satellite TerraSAR-X with high resolution up to 1m are used to render ocean waves. As in shallow areas, bathymetry is reflected by long swell wave refraction governed by underwater seabed structures, ...

Introduction and Aim: Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a neurodevelopmental condition in children, with motor coordination disabilities. Children DCD not only exhibit poor coordination, but also experience performance physical activities are found to have fitness. The purpose of this study evaluate the cardio respiratory fitness children developmental disorder.

Abstract. Vernacular architecture has always captured professionals’ attention for its unique approaches to construction, typical way of integrating man and nature the it is used. Being a combination traditional courtyard houses in China with townhouses West, Lilong or Shikumen are representatives Shanghai vernacular housing. In terms applying UAV oblique photogrammetry preserving documenting h...

The energy cost of running (E run), a key determinant of distance running performance, is influenced by several factors. Although it is important to express E run as energy cost, no study has used this approach to compare similarly trained men and women. Furthermore, the relationship between Achilles tendon (AT) stiffness and E run has not been compared between men and women. Therefore, our pur...

BACKGROUND The Hippo signaling pathway plays fundamental roles in stem cell maintenance in a variety of tissues and has thus implications for stem cell biology. Key components of this recently discovered pathway have been shown to be associated with primordial follicle activation. However, whether the Hippo signaling pathway plays a role in the development of Ovarian Germline Stem Cells (OGSCs)...

Although the motility of the flagellated bacteria, Escherichia coli, has been widely studied, the effect of viscosity on swimming speed remains controversial. The swimming mode of wild-type E. coli is often idealized as a run-and-tumble sequence in which periods of swimming at a constant speed are randomly interrupted by a sudden change of direction at a very low speed. Using a tracking microsc...
