As hand therapists, we are always using our creativity to help our patients participate in functional, desired activities. These authors share their expertise in adapting bicycles for children with below elbow amputations.

MAINSIM is a traffic simulation system for urban multimodal traffic. The simulation graph gets generated from cartographical material in an entirely automatic way. MAINSIM is capable of simulating the traffic of whole cities with cars, bicycles and pedestrians.

[formula: see text] Treatment of vinyl-substituted [2.2.1]- and [2.2.2]-bicyclocarbinols with NaOCl and AcOH provides [3.2.1]- and [3.2.2]-beta-chloro-bicycloketones, respectively. For [2.2.2]-bicycles, these chlorinative ring expansions are particularly efficient and selective.

A comparison has been made between BMX bicycle accidents and those occurring when children ride other types of bicycle. The injuries sustained are compared to see if the clinical impressions that BMX are more dangerous, and produce more facial injuries, are correct. This was found not to be true as half the children involved rode BMX bicycles, and the injuries sustained were similar to those oc...

With the recent developments of ITS, it is expected that the traffic accidents by vehicles are decrease in the future. However, it is necessary to consider the traffic accidents for bicycles and pedestrians as well as vehicles. Therefore, this paper proposes the mobile traffic accident prevention system based on the chronological changes of Wireless and Sensors. The proposed systems continuousl...

Driver-assistance systems that monitor driver intent, warn drivers or assist in vehicle guidance are all being actively considered. This paper present computer vision system designed for recognizing road boundary and a number of objects of interest including vehicles, pedestrians, motorcycles and bicycles. The system is designed using Hough transform and Kalman filters to improve the accuracy a...

The illegal parking of bicycles has been an urban problem in Tokyo and other urban areas. We have sustainably built a Linked Open Data (LOD) relating to the illegal parking of bicycles (IPBLOD) to support the problem solving by raising social awareness. Also, we have estimated and complemented the temporal missing data to enrich the IPBLOD, which consisted of intermittent social-sensor data. Ho...
