Measurement of Small Strain-Rates over Short Time Periods

Short Time Periods

Earlier papers (Allen and Hayes 1985,1986) described a compact axiomatic theory which provided a formal basis for temporal reasoning. This theory makes a sharp distinction between time points and periods of time. We show here, by considering possible models of the theory, that it can be slightly extended to give a better fit to intuition. In particular, the extended theory is preserved under ch...

Time-Based Measurement of Personal Mite Allergen Bioaerosol Exposure over 24 Hour Periods

Allergic diseases such as asthma and rhinitis are common in many countries. Globally the most common allergen associated with symptoms is produced by house dust mites. Although the bed has often been cited as the main site of exposure to mite allergens, surprisingly this has not yet been directly established by measurement due to a lack of suitable methods. Here we report on the development of ...

Short Reverberation Time Measurement

The measurement of short reverberation times poses different problems depending at the same time on difficulties of measurement and the sensitivity of the analysis techniques applicable to short signals. This article presents a toolbox, which allows a reliable estimation of reverberation time for small spaces, in a software environment, and using a lightweight system, designed for in-situ measu...

Rates of Progression in Diabetic Retinopathy During Different Time Periods

OBJECTIVE This meta-analysis reviews rates of progression of diabetic retinopathy to proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and/or severe visual loss (SVL) and temporal trends. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This systematic literature review and meta-analysis of prospective studies assesses progression of retinopathy among diabetic patients without treatment for retinopathy at baseline.
