We have developed a compact, six degree-of-freedom inertial measurement unit for user interfaces. The system uses three axes each of gyroscopes and accelerometers for full 6-axis inertial sensing, and transmits data wirelessly to an external basestation, providing full state updates at 75 Hz. Circuitry for proximity sensing and ID transmission through capacitive coupling was also constructed. W...

due to the deployment of military units in different provinces and different lands and areas in iran and doing many different missions, the amount of fuel consumption of vehicles is not only identical but also different. since the precise measurement of fuel consumption and estimating its needs are important, the factors affecting fuel consumption, military units, including temperature, humidit...

In the title compound, [CaCs2(C2O4)2(H2O)4] n , the Ca(2+) ion, lying on a twofold rotation axis, is coordinated by four O atoms from two oxalate ligands and two bridging water mol-ecules in an octa-hedral geometry. The Cs(+) ion is coordinated by seven O atoms from six oxalate ligands, one bridging water and one terminal water mol-ecule. The oxalate ligand displays a scarce high denticity. The...

Background: Noise mapping in industry can be useful to assess the risks of harmful noise, or to monitor noise in machine rooms. Using GIS -based software for plot of noise maps in an indoor noisy work environment can be helpful for occupational hygienists to monitor noise pollution. Methods: This study was carried out in noisy packaging unit of a food industry in Ghazvin industrial zone, to ev...

background and objectives: stress among students of the health sciences can lead to reduced performance of future healthcare human resources. to address this threat there is a need to develop a robust understanding of the nature and intensity of stress in these professionals. to help approaching this goal, the present study assessed stress-induced life change in students of tehran university of...
