ŠUSTR MICHAL, DOSTÁL PETR, ZAČAL JAROSLAV. 2016. The Acoustic Emission for Monitoring the Hardness of the Cold Metal Transfer Weld. Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 64(2): 543–547. The article deals with the quality monitoring of the weld joint Aluzinc surface at the overlap point. The corrosion resistance layer research in the anaerobic fermenter (bioreac...

A plan for the spatial analysis for the sample design for the detection monitoring phase in the joint USDA Forest Service/EPA Forest Health Monitoring Program (FHM) in the United States is discussed. The spatial analysis procedure is intended to more quickly identify changes in forest health by providing increased sensitivity to localixed changes. The procedure is initiated with a series of med...

Among other strategic action points, the Ambient Assisted Living Joint Programme framework has defined telemedicine and remote monitoring as major applications for improved quality of care. With the advent of novel, gamechanging mobile platforms, the technological basis is now in place to provide more capable and usable systems for this practice. In this paper, we present a real-time biosignal ...

As the population ages and medical care, along with a functional life style, continues to improve the health of this group, the number of joint replacement surgeries will continue to rise each year in the United States. This growing volume carries with it the risk of venous thromboembolism associated with joint replacement surgery. The American College of Chest Physicians and the American Acade...

as a biometric trait has the ability to be recognized in remote monitoring. In this paper, a method based on joint distribution of motion angles is proposed for gait recognition. The new feature of the motion angles of lower limbs are defined and extracted from either 2D video database or 3D motion capture database, and the corresponding angles of right leg and left leg are joined together to w...

Early diagnosis and effective monitoring of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are important for a positive outcome. Instant treatment often results in faster reduction of inflammation and, as a consequence, less structural damage. Anatomical imaging techniques have been in use for a long time, facilitating diagnosis and monitoring of RA. However, mere imaging of anatomical structures provides little in...

In this paper, a fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based stress monitoring system instrumented on an orthotropic steel deck arch bridge is demonstrated. The FBG sensors are installed at two types of critical fatigue-prone welded joints to measure the strain and temperature signals. A total of 64 FBG sensors are deployed around the rib-to-deck and rib-to-diagram areas at the mid-span and quarter-span of...

In the control chart literature, a number of oneand two-chart schemes has been developed to simultaneously monitor the mean and variance parameters of normally distributed processes. These “joint” monitoring schemes are useful for situations in which special causes can result in a change in both the mean and the variance, and they allow practitioners to avoid the inflated false alarm rate which...

In this paper we present results of our ongoing research on non-verbal human-robot interaction that is heavily inspired by recent experimental findings about the neuro-cognitive mechanisms supporting joint action in humans. The robot control architecture implements the joint coordination of actions and goals as a dynamic process that integrates contextual cues, shared task knowledge and the pre...

We develop a theory of a multinational corporation’s optimal mode of entry in a new market. The foreign firm can choose between a licensing agreement, a wholly owned subsidiary or shared control (joint venture). In an environment in which property rights are insecure, opportunism is possible, and the identification of new business opportunities is costly, we show that the relationship between t...
