Repeatability of thickness measurement Introduction • Goal: construct reliable 3D model of knee cartilage from partial laser scans. • Off-the-shelf ICP yield unreliable solutions because of sensing error and sampling error. • Our contributions: • Reduce sensing error using bilateral Gaussian smoothing • Reduce sampling error using point-to-mesh correspondence • Fuse multiple scans following max...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to assess the repeatability and reproducibility of the PT100 noncontact tonometer and to compare its consistency with the Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) in measuring intraocular pressure (IOP). METHODS Triplicate IOP measurements were obtained on two separate occasions using the PT100 and GAT from randomly selected eyes in 66 healthy volunteers a...

OBJECTIVE To determine the repeatability and sources of variability of clinical tests of cardiovascular autonomic function. DESIGN The commonly used electrocardiographic related tests of autonomic function were studied. Two repeat measurements of all tests were made on all subjects on four separate days over a four week period. SUBJECTS Ten normal subjects with no known autonomic dysfunctio...

12 Abstract 13 Purpose To determine the repeatability of mesopic high14 contrast (HC) and low-contrast (LC) visual acuity (VA) mea15 surements made at distance and near in healthy young indi16 viduals. While the repeatability of photopic VA is well17 known, there is a lack of information with regard to the 18 repeatability of VA measured under low luminance 19 conditions. 20 Methods In two diff...

• Traditional a posteriori approach 1. Application instrumentation – Instrumented automatically by object code patching or compiler. – Manually insert instrumentation library calls. 2. Execute, measure, and extract performance data 3. Analysis and visualization – Identify performance bottlenecks 4. Application optimization – Modify program, adjust runtime policies • This tuning model presumes r...

PURPOSE To determine whether high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) acquisitions improve the repeatability of liver proton density fat fraction (PDFF) measurements using confounder-corrected chemical shift-encoded magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (CSE-MRI). MATERIALS AND METHODS Eleven fat-water phantoms were scanned with 8 different protocols with varying SNR. After repositioning the phantoms, the ...

The results of simulation of popular routing protocols in DTN wireless networks with the hybrid mobility model of DTN’s nodes are presented. The purpose was to evaluate the message delivery probability and the average time of message delivery. The simulation model is implemented in the OMNeT ++ simulation system. From the simulation experiments it has been found that the daily periodic repeatab...

Births are highly synchronized among females in many mammal populations in temperate areas. Although laying date for a given female is also repeatable within populations of birds, limited evidence suggests low repeatability of parturition date for individual females in mammals, and between-population variability in repeatability has never, to our knowledge, been assessed. We quantified the repe...
