Community dwelling elderly people with a history of falls are likely to sustain subsequent falls and injurious falls. Elderly people who have had a previous fall with a fracture are at an increased risk of major injurious fall. However, the recurrence of major fall injuries other than fractures remains unknown. We conducted a prospective population-based cohort study among home dwelling elderly...

In this paper we present new methods for accelerating object-based image analysis using distributed computing. This is demonstrated on imagery from the refugee camp Lukole in Tanzania. An IKONOS scene from the refugee camp was chosen and relevant dwelling units were extracted. Promising results were achieved coping with an increasing data load and likewise with the demanded timeliness while a h...

Physical psychological health, large numberof studies have begun to document preventive effects for depression or neurodegenerative diseases.However, health-related quality of life composed not only cognitive functioningdomain, but also by the feelings well-being.Objective: To det...

The analysis of the winter and summer thermal behavior of a low-income dwelling, built by Provincial Institute of Dwelling in Salta, is presented. For both orientations of the major axis, the mean indoor temperatures in winter were around 14°C with a daily thermal swing between 5°C and 10°C, values that are outside the comfort area. Thus, auxiliary conventional heating is needed during all the ...

The article makes an analysis of the functioning for the heating automation system with hot air blown into an individual dwelling. The structure of the automatic control system for indoor temperature in the dwelling is determined, in which the controller is a thermostat having feature type relay with hysteresis, the conditions related to the evolution of automatic control of the process are spe...

We develop a new hidden Markov model-based method to analyze C elegans locomotive behavior and use this method to quantitatively characterize behavioral states. In agreement with previous work, we find states corresponding to roaming, dwelling, and quiescence. However, we also find evidence for a continuum of intermediate states. We suggest that roaming, dwelling, and quiescence may best be tho...
