Recently, the technology of mid-air gestures for manipulating 3D digital contents has become an important research issue. In order to conform to the needs of users and contexts, eliciting user-defined gestures is inevitable. However, it was reported that user-defined hand gestures tended to vary significantly in posture, motion and speed, making it difficult to identify common characteristics. ...

Back pain in children and adolescents is quite common, so developing preventive strategies for back pain is highly desirable. This article describes a planned school-based postural education project (PoSE) to promote healthy behaviors among middle school students and their families and to moderate postural diseases. As first s tep, we e valuated w hich a spects o f p ostural b ehaviors were i n...

al3+-potentiometric sensor, based on (2z) -methyl 2- ((z) (p-tolylimino)-3-ethyl -4-oxothiazolidin -5- ylidene) acetate (mteoy) as a neutral ionophore, was successfully developed for the detectionof al3+ in aqueous solutions. the electrode responds to al3+ ion with a sensitivity of 19.8 ± 0.1 mv/decade over the range 1.0 x 10-8- 1.0 x 10-1 mol lt' and in a ph range of 3.0-9.0. the electrodeshow...

background: diabetes and hypertension are important non-communicable diseases and their prevalence is important for health authorities. the aim of this study was to determine the predictive precision of the bivariate logistic regression (lr) and artificial neutral network (ann) in concurrent diagnosis of diabetes and hypertension. methods: this cross-sectional study was performed with 12000 ira...

In this paper we report on a combination of experimental and theoretical study of a new copolymer based on carbazole and methylthiophene (Cbz-Mth), in their neutral and oxidized states. We discuss the influence of chain length on conformational and optoelectronic properties with the DFT method. Conformational analysis shows that there are no big changes in the structural parameters of neutral o...

A short history of the major features of neutral theories of molecular evolution is presented. Emphasis is placed on the nearly neutral theory, as this version of the neutral theory has explained the widest range of phenomena. The shift of interest from protein to DNA evolution is chronicled, leading to the modern view that silent and replacement substitutions are responding to different evolut...

In [1] we discussed functions of head movements and gaze. In this paper, we will go into more depth in the classification of various head movements: how they are distinguished in both formal and functional terms. We look at the distribution of a selection of primitive head movements and their related meanings and the way they are composed out of smaller units. This catalogue is not intended to ...

In this study, we evaluate the effect of cell configuration parameters on electrochemical reduction CO2 using Cu gas-diffusion electrodes (Cu-GDEs), including use proton- or anion-exchange membranes, flow configuration, and Nafion content used in ink formulation to prepare Cu-GDEs. Using a (i) containing Sustainion membrane, (ii) allowing liquid catholyte anolyte, (iii) providing convective sup...

Chromate and dichromate solutions used for the activation passivation of cadmium zinc galvanic coatings metal products are widely due to their ability form corrosion-protective films. Therefore, in this article, we examined kinetic features cathodic deposition Cd Zn during membrane electrolysis. As a result comprehensive experimental theoretical studies, depositions were analyzed under differen...
