This paper explores time-distance gait parameters across walking speeds. Our approach consists of designing an experimental setup to gather walking data at various speeds, analyzing time-distance features with respect to speeds. We explain the motivations of this study and the details of the experimental setup that allows people to walk naturally on the ground level floor and at the same time a...

Energy levels and electromagnetic properties of 24 nuclides with N = 28 ∼ 30 are studied in terms of a large-scale shell model calculation, which contains no newly adjusted parameters. The Kuo-Brown G-matrix interaction is shown to reproduce energy levels of 205 low-lying states of all these nuclei. We evaluate effective charges by incorporating the core-polarization effects caused by the coupl...

The mixed grassland in Canada is characterized by low to medium green vegetation cover, with a large amount of canopy background, such as non-photosynthetic vegetation residuals (litter), bare soil, and ground level biological crust. It is a challenge to extract the canopy information from satellite images because of the influence of canopy background. Therefore, this study aims to extract a so...

Mixed-symmetry assignments are made to the 1.570 (l;), 1.573 (2:) and 1.659 (3:) MeV levels in 2wHg. The characteristics of the 2: level are shared with nearby 2+ levels at 1.254 and 1.593 MeV. An interacting boson approximation (IBA-2) analysis examines the sensitivity of the mixed-symmetry states to the E , parameters of the Majorana term and finds that both the magnitude and sign of the d(E2...

We present a detailed comparison between the first order Stark-effect induced Gailitis resonance in e+ + H (n = 2) and the second order Stark-effect induced resonance in e + Ps (n = 1). Common characteristics as well as differences of these resonances will be identified. These results will be used to assess the presence of Gailitis resonances in the scattering of proton on the ground state of 7...

This paper proposes a runlength histogram signature as a perceptual descriptor of architectural plans in a retrieval scenario. The style of an architectural drawing is characterized by the perception of lines, shapes and texture. Such visual stimuli are the basis for defining semantic concepts as space properties, symmetry, density, etc. We propose runlength histograms extracted in vertical, ho...

Despite the gains in recent years in performing large multiconfiguratlon shell model calculations, the structure of nuclei in the fp shell still presents great computational difficulties. A rather simple and straightforward approach is to consider the extremely restricted ( l f7 /2)n basis for describing properties of nuclei in thxs region, since the lf7/2 shell IS comparatively well isolated f...

Most of the spectrum occupancy measurement campaigns performed to the date in the context of cognitive radio are based on measurements in outdoor high points such as building roofs, balconies and towers. Although these measurement scenarios enable a more accurate estimation of the primary transmitters’ spectral activity, they may not be representative of the spectrum occupancy perceived by a co...

The widening of roles and expectations within cultural policy discourses has been a challenge to museum workers throughout Great Britain (GB). There has been an expectation that museums are changing from an ‘old’ to a ‘new museology’ that has shaped museum functions and roles. This paper outlines the limitations of this perceived transition as museum services confront multiple exogenous and end...

We report on the first far–IR detection of H 2 D + , using the Infrared Space Observatory, in the line of sight toward Sgr B2 in the galactic center. The transition at λ=126.853 µm connecting the ground level of o-H 2 D + , 1 1,1 , with the the 2 1,2 level at 113 K, is observed in absorption against the continuum emission of the cold dust of the source. The line is broad, with a total absorptio...
