This paper describes the Sport and Wellness Ecosystem, which is a comprehensive environment including many traditional sport-related researchers, manufacturers and service providers, as well as many new players from other ecosystems, such as personal wellness, fitness and healthcare. This ecosystem uses a seamless data chain to link all the participants. The overall target is to create many new...

Definitive diagnosis of penile masses usually depends on clinical symptoms and patient history but in some challenging cases the help of radiologic diagnostic tools is required. Although ultrasound is an effective tool for detecting penile masses, unlike magnetic resonance imagining, it is not able to differentiate benign and malignant pathologies. Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a novel metho...

This paper introduces an approach illustrating how the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) framework can be used in order to build a franco-lebanese observatory. We present the practical application of SWE services as a source of real-time observation data and the associated technical architecture for making near real-time observations available to end users on the Web....

INTRODUCTION 2-D ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) could be considered as a new noninvasive tool for monitoring fetal lung development based on evaluation of mechanical properties during pregnancy. Interesting results are available concerning the use of SWE on developing organs, especially on premature infants and animal models. The main objective in this study is to evaluate the feasibi...

Abstract. Monitoring the snow water equivalent (SWE) in harsh environments of high mountain regions is a challenge. Here, we explore use muon counts to infer SWE. We deployed muonic cosmic ray gauge (?-CRSG) on Swiss glacier during snow-rich winter season 2020/21 (almost 2000 mm w.e.). The ?-CRSG measurements agree well with by neutronic (n-CRSG), and they lie within uncertainty manual observat...

Alternative silvicultural treatments such as thinning can be used to restore forested watersheds and reduce wildfire hazards, but the hydrologic effects of these treatments are not well defined. We evaluated the effect of two shelterwood-with-reserve silvicultural prescriptions, one leaving residual trees evenly distributed (SE) and the second leaving residual trees in groups (SG), both with 50...

Abstract. Grounded in situ, or invasive, cosmic ray neutron sensors (CRNSs) may allow for continuous, unattended measurements of snow water equivalent (SWE) over complete winter seasons and that are representative spatially variable Arctic covers, but few studies have tested these types considered their applicability at remote sites the Arctic. During winters 2016/2017 2017/2018 we a grounded s...

Snow water equivalent (SWE) of a snowpack is often measured along well-chosen transects representative of an area of interest, such as a drainage basin, to capture spatial distribution of SWE, which is of great interest for many applications. For example, it is a useful input to the new generation of hydrological models used for snow melt run-off predictions. A time-effective method to perform ...

In sports medicine, there is increasing interest in quantifying the elastic properties of skeletal muscle, especially during extreme muscular stimulation, to improve our understanding of the impact of alterations in skeletal muscle stiffness on resulting pain or injuries, as well as the mechanisms underlying the relationships between these parameters. Our main objective was to determine whether...
