For the appropriate development of VR applications to be guaranteed, Riva argues that VR should be defined, and that the opportunities and the challenges it may provide to professional practice be understood. When outlining the current state of relevan...

Reintroduction of Riva-Rocci measurements to determine systolic blood pressure?

INTRODUCTION In 1896, Riva-Rocci introduced the upper arm cuff to measure systolic blood pressure. In 1905, Nicolai Sergeivich Korotkoff added the auscultatory technique, allowing measurement of both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Both methods have, to our knowledge, never been formally tested against each other. In this study, we want to fill this gap in history. METHODS We measured ...

The srBPA Ontology: Semantic Representation of the Riva Business Process Architecture

This paper describes the development of the srBPA ontology, which is a formal ontology that conceptualizes the elements of the Riva-based business process architecture and the relationships between them. This ontology was instantiated using the UWE’s CEMS faculty administration case study in an attempt to assess the correctness and the usefulness of the developed ontology. The assessment reveal...

RIVA: Indexing and Visualization of High-Dimensional Data Via Dimension Reorderings

We propose a new representation for high-dimensional data that can prove very effective for visualization, nearest neighbor (NN) and range searches. It has been unequivocally demonstrated that existing index structures cannot facilitate efficient search in high-dimensional spaces. We show that a transformation from points to sequences can potentially diminish the negative effects of the dimensi...
