Recent advances in wearable sensing allow active control of the orientation of a body-mounted camera worn by a remote user. In this paper we consider the control of the active camera from head movements. In the context of teleoperation, these may be the head movements of a remote operator, perhaps acting as the wearer’s assistant. The movements are likely to be larger than those in video-confer...

background: pediculus capitis (anoplura: pediculidae) or head louse is an obligate ectoparasite transmitted mainly through physical contact. this study was conducted to survey the prevalence of head lice infestation rate and some risk factors in primary school pupils, in khajeh city east azerbaijan province, iran. methods: we selected 20 primary schools of khajeh city during 2008 and 2009. tota...

INTRODUCTION Cephalic index (CI), the ratio of head breadth to head length, is widely used to categorise human populations. The aim of this study was to access the impact of anthropometric measurements on the CI of male Japanese university students. METHODS This study included 1,215 male university students from Tokyo and Kyoto, selected using convenient sampling. Multiple regression analysis...

During slow-wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, hippocampal place cells in the rat show replay of sequences previously observed during waking. We tested the hypothesis from computational modeling that the temporal structure of REM sleep replay could arise from an interplay of place cells with head direction cells in the postsubiculum. Physiological single-unit recording was per...

The most common causes of severe head injuries are motor vehicle accidents and falls from a height that cause cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest resulted in the patient being unconscious, no breathing, pulse. incidence is mostly because hypoxic. Patients with characterized by Gasglow Coma Scale (GCS) 8 or less. who often have decreased oxygen saturation should require definitive airway to prevent d...

Tumors of the supraclavicular fossa (SC) is clinically challenging because of anatomical complexity and tumor pathological diversity. Because of varied diseases entities and treatment choices of SC tumors, making the accurate decision among numerous differential diagnoses is imperative. Sampling by open biopsy (OB) remains the standard procedure for pathological confirmation. However, complicat...

Learning ranking functions is crucial for solving many problems, ranging from document retrieval to building recommendation systems based on an individual user’s preferences or on collaborative filtering. Learning-to-rank is particularly necessary for adaptive or personalizable tasks, including email prioritization, individualized recommendation systems, personalized news clipping services and ...

We use molecular phylogenomic as well morphological data to provide a taxonomic update on New Guinea endemic Philaccolilus diving beetles. In these lotic beetles, we find cryptic diversity that highlights the need for geographically denser sampling combined with of an intergrative approach unravel true and biogeography describe three new species: P. intania sp. nov. from northern Bird’s Head Pe...

The possibility of sharing one’s point of view makes use of wearable cameras compelling. These videos are often long, boring and coupled with extreme shake as the camera is worn on a moving person. Fast forwarding (i.e. frame sampling) is a natural choice for faster video browsing. However, this accentuates the shake caused by natural head motion in an egocentric video, making the fast forwarde...
