The project „Neue Bahntechnik Paderborn“ (NBP) deals with the development of an innovative railroad concept. It envisions short autonomously guided shuttles which are completely automated and even make decisions, for eg. starting only if there is a need. Furthermore the shuttles use the existing rails without differentiating between suburban and long-distance traffic. Thus the passengers needn’...

OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to quantify posture and body image in patients with major depressive disorder during episodes and after drug treatment, comparing the results with those obtained for healthy volunteers. METHOD Over a 10-week period, we evaluated 34 individuals with depression and 37 healthy volunteers. Posture was assessed based on digital photos of the subjects; CorelDRAW so...

Wireless Body Area N/WS are emerging as important network, applicable in various fields like healthcare etc. In previous paper , we study some techniques like TZS, BPR, energy efficient and Hybrid (LEACH+PEGASIS). These techniques work with some topologies not with all topologies and consume more energy and gives less throughput. But now in this paper work are using two such techniques by makin...

This paper presents a novel whole-body analytical inverse kinematics (IK) method integrating collision avoidance and customizable body control for animating reaching tasks in real-time. Whole-body control is achieved with the interpolation of pre-designed key body postures, which are organized as a function of the direction to the goal to be reached. Arm postures are computed by the analytical ...

BACKGROUND The main purpose of this study was to investigate the presence of an association between intermetatarsal neuroma and foot type, as measured by the Foot Posture Index. The study also examined whether there was a relationship between foot type and the interspace affected with intermetatarsal neuroma, and whether ankle equinus or body mass index had an effect. METHODS In total, 100 pa...

The visual recognition of action is one of the socially most important and computationally demanding capacities of the human visual system. It combines visual shape recognition with complex non-rigid motion perception. Action presented as a point-light animation is a striking visual experience for anyone who sees it for the first time. Information about the shape and posture of the human body i...
