Hardware sensors embedded in a smartphone allow the device to become an excellent mobile navigator. A smartphone is ideal for this task because its great international popularity has led to increased phone power and since most of the necessary infrastructure is already in place. However, using a smartphone for indoor pedestrian navigation can be problematic due to the low accuracy of sensors, i...

Abstract: This study aims to analyze how the influence of infrastructure availability, socioeconomic conditions, and effect location on poverty levels. The descriptive analysis is used give a general description by using thematic charts maps. map analyzed spatial autocorrelation levels Moran Scatterplot Local Indicators Spatial Association (LISA) Map. results indicate existence linkages poverty...

This paper describes the digitization and utilization of Complete Map of Peking, Qianlong Period, which is the oldest measured map of Beijing made about 250 years ago. We first proposed the geometric correction method called “linepreserving distance weighting method” to preserve linear features relevant in the old map of cities. Next we improved the reliability of the old map as information inf...

Current approaches to design flood-sensitive infrastructure typically assume a stationary rainfall distribution and neglect many uncertainties. These assumptions are inconsistent with observations that suggest intensifying extreme precipitation events the uncertainties surrounding projections of coupled natural-human systems. Here we demonstrate safety factor approach designing urban in changin...

BACKGROUND Peripheral nerve (PN) transplantation and ventral root implantation are the two common types of recovery operations to restore the connection between motoneurons and their target muscles after brachial plexus injury. Despite experience accumulated over the past decade, fundamental knowledge is still lacking concerning the efficacy of the two microsurgical interventions. METHODS Thi...
