Three-dimensional reconstruction of large macromolecules like viruses at resolutions below 10 A requires a large set of projection images. Several automatic and semi-automatic particle detection algorithms have been developed along the years. Here we present a general technique designed to automatically identify the projection images of particles. The method is based on Markov random field mode...

The coupling between an agent’s body and its nervous system ensures that optimal behaviour generation can be undertaken in a specific niche. Depending on this coupling, nervous system or body plan architecture can partake in more or less of the behaviour. We will refer to this as the automatic distribution of computational workload. It is further automatic since the coupling is evolved and not ...

With the recent proliferation of mobile and wearable devices, wireless power transfer (WPT) has gained attention as an up-and-coming technology to charge these devices. In particular, WPT via magnetic resonance coupling attracted considerable interest for day-to-day applications since it is harmless human body relatively long transmission distance. However, was difficult be installed into envir...

An advanced automatic differentiation tool for Fortran 90 software has been developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This tool, called GRESS 90, has a code-coupling feature to propagate derivatives relative to the input of one code through a series of codes that utilize the results of one calculation as the input in the next to determine a final result. GRESS 90 has been applied to the reson...

Position tracking of pedestrians by means of inertial sensors is a highly explored field of research. In fact, there are already many approaches to implement inertial navigation systems (INSs). However, most of them use a single inertial measurement unit (IMU) attached to the pedestrian's body. Since wearable-devices will be given items in the future, this work explores the implementation of an...
