Method and system for human action detections with acceleration sensors for the proposed rescue system for disabled and elderly persons who need a help in evacuation from disaster areas is proposed. Not only vital signs, blood pressure, heart beat pulse rate, body temperature, bless and consciousness, but also, the location and attitude of the persons have to be monitored for the proposed rescu...

We investigated the control and function of arm swing in human walking and running to test the hypothesis that the arms act as passive mass dampers powered by movement of the lower body, rather than being actively driven by the shoulder muscles. We measured locomotor cost, deltoid muscle activity and kinematics in 10 healthy adult subjects while walking and running on a treadmill in three exper...

The accumulation of ice on an airplane in flight is one of the leading contributing factors to general aviation accidents, and to date only relatively sophisticated methods based on detailed empirical data and flight data exist for its analysis. This paper develops a methodology and simulation tool for a preliminary yet accurate evaluation of airplane dynamical response and stability and contro...

The procedure used for finding delta shock type solutions to some conservation laws known as Shadow Waves are now used for finding a solution to pressureless gas dynamics model with body force added as a source. The obtained solution in this paper resembles the one to pressureless gas dynamics model without a source. If the body force interpreted as the acceleration constant multiplied by the d...
