In human movement modeling, the problem of multi-link kinematics estimation by means of inertial measurement units has been investigated by several authors through efficient sensor fusion algorithms. In this perspective a single inertial measurement unit per link is required. This set-up is not cost-effective compared with a solution in which a single-axis accelerometer per link is used. In thi...

S U M M A R Y We examine seismic velocity and anisotropy at the interface between the Australian and the subducting Pacific Plate in southern North Island, New Zealand using receiver functions from teleseismic earthquakes recorded on two L-shaped seismic arrays. IRIS station SNZO makes up the corner of the southern array. Velocity models are tested with a ray theoretical method that allows both...

The use of an alkane mixture that remains liquid at 77 K to freeze specimens has advantages over the use of a pure alkane that is solid at 77 K. It was found that a mixture of methane and ethane did not give a cooling rate adequate to produce vitreous ice, but a mixture of propane and ethane did result in vitreous ice. Furthermore, the latter mixture produced less damage to specimens mounted on...

The loss of linear momentum by gravitational radiation and the resulting gravitational recoil of black-hole binary systems may play an important role in the growth of massive black holes in early galaxies. We calculate the gravitational recoil of nonspinning black-hole binaries at the second post-Newtonian order (2PN) beyond the dominant effect, obtaining, for the first time, the 1.5PN correcti...

As quantum computers approach the fault-tolerance threshold, diagnosing and characterizing noise on large-scale devices is increasingly important. One of most important classes channels class Pauli channels, for reasons both theoretical tractability experimental relevance. Here we present a practical algorithm estimating s nonzero error rates in an s-sparse, n-qubit channel, or more generally l...

Mullerian duct anomalies are an uncommon but often treatable cause of infertility. Patients with müllerian duct anomalies are known to have a higher incidence of infertility, repeated first-trimester spontaneous abortions, fetal intrauterine growth retardation, fetal malposition, preterm labor, and retained placenta. The role of imaging is to help detect, diagnose, and distinguish surgically co...

Although achieving significant improvement on pose estimation, the major drawback is that most top-performing methods tend to adopt complex architecture and spend large computational cost achieve higher performance. Due edge device’s limited resources, its are hard maintain fast inference speed in practice. To address this issue, we proposed lightweight human estimation method high performance ...
