The relief of Franz Ludwig Pfyffer, constructed between 1762 and 1786, is considered the world’s oldest large landscape model and a pioneering work of Swiss cartography. Based on Pfyffer’s own measurements, the 6.6 x 3.9 m big masterpiece represents a fascinating bird’s eye view of the Alps. The relief is not only an extraordinary topographic but also a cultural achievement: It has once been an...

Supply chain disruption risk usually poses a serious challenge to the management of emergency supplies procurement between government and enterprises in cooperation. To research impact supply on demand sides for disaster relief, model based quantity flexibility contract is constructed. The introduces stockout measure degree uses per unit material relief value quantify benefits. Further, it anal...

Ceramic relief modeling design and CNC machining programming have a wide range of applications in industrial production daily life. In view the actual needs enterprises, this research studies CAD simulation technology ceramic achieves other pieces based on geometric outline plane breakthrough. According to modeling, bitmap tool path selection, processing, establishment model is realized. Finall...

objective: renal colic is a common cause of emergency room visits. due to the spontaneous passage of more than 90% of kidney stones, treatment in the emergency department (ed) is limited to pain control. analgesics currently used are selected based on physician experiences and various theories from different sources. the aim of this study was to compare the common drugs (pethidine and diclofena...

The selection of appropriative geomedia attributes for constructing natural and suggestive perspective visualizations historical non-cartometric manuscript topographic works is investigated, to enable an intuitive perception relief landforms. main objective the study demonstrate parameters representing third dimension in watercolor maps from eighteenth century, using cartographic rules geoinfor...

We have developed a new method for transforming images with per-pixel displacements into textures that have correct parallax when texture-mapped, in the usual way, onto polygons. Our new method results from factoring the 3-D image-warping equations of McMillan and Bishop into a prewarp followed by standard texture mapping. The pre-warp handles only the parallax effects resulting from the direct...

This study was undertaken to investigate the contribution of a weight-relieving system on the gait of patients with severe locomotor disabilities. Temporal parameters of gait and subjective evaluations of the effect of the system were studied in 24 patients and 6 healthy subjects. Partial weight relief was accomplished through a pneumatic system mounted in the ceiling over a conductive walkway ...

Mountain-range topography is determined by the complex interplay between tectonics and climate. However, often it is not clear to what extent climate forces topographic evolution and how past climatic episodes are refl ected in present-day relief. The Andes are a tectonically active mountain belt encompassing various climatic zones with pronounced differences in rainfall, erosion, and glacier e...

Relief operations and planning to implement them are essential due the unpredictability of natural disaster occurrences their concomitant damages. The Crisis Disaster Management Organization’s responsibility is execute plans, coordinate, control relief, rescue reduce impacts consequences these disasters. Thus, this organization should attend struck regions’ needs with maximum power as soon poss...
