This paper discusses an investigation of the loss of received signal power associated with operation of L1 GPS antennas in close proximity to the human body. Through the use of a human proxy or phantom body with similar electrical characteristics to that of a human body, signal strength data is collected in 24-hour static tests and repeated for multiple distances between the antenna and the pha...

Arm fatigue, or gorilla-arm, was the primary reason for the initial failure of mid-air or touchscreen computer interaction systems [1]. Gestural interfacing is now being adopted widely in gaming, medical applications as well as education, but only through careful research and development of such systems to eliminate or significantly reduce fatigue and optimize the interaction. Although the most...

The aim of this research is to calculate the elastic constants and Bulk modulus of Cu-20 wt% Ni random Nanoalloy. The molecular dynamics simulation technique was used to calculate the mechanical properties in NPT ensemble. The interaction between atoms as well as cohesive energy in the Nanoalloy modeled systems was calculated by Morse et al. two body potential. Also the temperature of the syste...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Energy expenditure has been negatively correlated with fat accumulation. However, this association is highly variable. In the present study we applied a genotype by environment interaction method to examine the presence of Genotype x by Total Daily Energy Expenditure and Genotype x by Daily Energy Expenditure interactions in the expression of different body composition trait...

The attractive nature of the antikaon-nucleon interaction suggests that few-body systems antikaons and nucleons can exist. author presents a new study exotic $\overline{K}\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}N\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}N\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}N$ system. Four-body Faddeev-type equations are used to evaluate binding energy width quasi-bound state in dependence results on two-body nucleon-nucleon i...

The microscopic quasiparticle-phonon model, MQPM, is used to study the energy spectra of the odd Z = 53 − 63, N = 82 isotones. The results are compared with experimental data, with the extreme quasiparticle-phonon limit and with the results of an unrestricted 2s1d0g7/20h11/2 shell model (SM) calculation. The interaction used in these calculations is a realistic two-body G-matrix interaction der...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine whether objectively measured physical activity and dietary macronutrient intake differentially predict body fat in adolescent girls with type 1 diabetes and control girls. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This study comprised 23 girls (12-19 years) with type 1 diabetes and 19 age-matched healthy control girls. At baseline, physical activity and ...
