The role of the body of the player in trumpet pedagogy has either tended to go unrecognised, or the ability of the body to find appropriate techniques has been assumed. However, there has been increasing recognition that bodily posture is important, both in terms of its impact on performance and longer-term injury prevention. As a result, the literature of brass pedagogy has tried to identify t...

1 はじめに IoTの適用例として,hitoe[1]等のウェアラブルセン サを用いてバイタルデータを取得し,健康や作業状態を 分析して安全管理することが検討されている.センサに より加速度や心拍を取得し,そのデータをクラウド技術 (例えば,[2]-[9])を用いて管理,分析し,転倒等の姿勢 や疲労蓄積を迅速に判断する.更に,Webサービス等の サービス連携技術(例えば,[10]-[21])を用いて外部シ ステムと連携し,スタッフ手配や緊急警告等を行う. バスやタクシー(以後,車)のドライバーは,運転中 の物拾いや疲労蓄積等は事故につながる可能性があり, ウェアラブルセンサでの安全管理にニーズがある.しか し,車内では,車加速度がウェアラブルセンサ加速度に 加算されるため,正確な姿勢を推定できる保証はない. そこで,本稿では hitoeの加速度データを用いて,乗車 中の姿勢推定に関する...

Arthroscopic knee surgery to perform partial meniscectomy and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is frequent and effective, although a possible complication is postoperative intra-articular bleeding. When this complication occurs, in addition to the associated pain, the patient usually requires an arthrocentesis to avoid loss of joint mobility. Sometimes this problem ends up associ...

BACKGROUND Growth hormone (GH) is used as an adjuvant therapy in in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) for poor ovarian responders, but findings for its effects on outcomes of IVF have been conflicting. The aim of the study was to compare IVF-ET outcomes among women with poor ovarian responders, and find which subgroup can benefit from the GH addition. METHODS We searched the da...

We survey the connection between two results from rather different areas: failure of the 3-space property for local convexity (and other properties) within the category of quasiBanach spaces, and the irreducibility (in the sense of Minkowski difference) of large families of finite dimensional polytopes. Mathematics subject classification (2010): 46A16, 46B03, 52B15..

A global visibility map is a spherical image built to describe the complete set of global visible view directions for a surface. In this paper, we consider the computation of global visibility maps for regions on the boundary of a polyhedron. Both the self-occlusions introduced by a region and the global occlusions introduced by the rest of the surfaces on the boundary of the polyhedron are con...

In a partially ordered semigroup with the duality (or polarity) transform, it is possible to define a generalisation of continued fractions. General sufficient conditions for convergence of continued fractions are provided. Two particular applications concern the cases of convex sets with the Minkowski addition and the polarity transform and the family of non-negative convex functions with the ...
