INTRODUCTION Ultrasound measurements of rectus femoris cross-sectional area (RFCSA) are clinically useful measurements in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and critically ill patients. Technical considerations as to the type of probe used, which affects image resolution, have limited widespread clinical application. We hypothesised that measurement of RFCSA would be similar with line...

The detection of curvilinear structures is an important step for various computer vision applications, ranging from medical image analysis for segmentation of blood vessels, to remote sensing for the identification of roads and rivers, and to biometrics and robotics, among others. This is a nontrivial task especially for the detection of thin or incomplete curvilinear structures surrounded with...

In this paper, the author shows a sequence of actions to develop methodology for evaluating manageability with special tracked machines. The relevance work is absence similar techniques machines, compared wheel vehicles, passage curvilinear sections which no longer an unreserved mathematical task. paper presents dependence intensity changes in direction movement, analysis factors affecting chan...

PURPOSE To report a peculiar curvilinear pigmentary lesion in the peripheral fundus in a rod-cone dystrophy. METHODS Observational case report. Fundus examination of a 57-year-old woman who was known to have a generalized rod-cone dystrophy since she was 8 years old. RESULTS The peripheral fundus examination revealed a curvilinear lesion which resembles a well-known finding associated with ...

The dominant perceptive regimen is still based on the Cartesian split (subject-object separation). We see matter as separated from mind, a perceptive model inherited from literacy-Cartesian culture that has not yet digested the new changes brought about by hybrid techniques and methodologies. This dominance is also reflected in the way we deal with the consensus construction of reality alongsid...
