AIM To assess the reproducibility of pelvic floor biometric parameters by translabial three-dimensional ultrasound compared with the OmniView® reformatting technique. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study involving 47 nulliparous women without symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction. The hiatal area and right pubovisceral muscle width measurements were performed in the axial ...

In this paper, we utilize novel sensors built-in commercial smart devices to propose a schema which can identify floors with high accuracy and efficiency. This schema can be divided into two modules: floor identifying and floor change detection. Floor identifying module starts at initial phase of positioning, and responsible for determining which floor the positioning start. We have estimated t...

We used the 11,303 return air roadway of Hongqingliang coal mine as engineering background for a study exploring impact structural morphology on stress distribution characteristics and stability weakly cemented soft-rock roadway. This work studies evolution law deformation, plastic zone roadways with retaining top or bottom seams. The results show that when is replaced by coal, high-stress vert...

This paper addresses the question of how to create environments that people will want to explore. Four environmental properties (slines, entropy, floor area, and shape) were tested for exploration time in three experiments that included thirty-eight virtual environments and sixty participants. Slines had the strongest effect on exploration time (r ˆ 0:36), followed by entropy (r ˆ 0:34). Floor ...

The question whether or not double basses can benefit from a compliant and radiating stage floor in the low end of their tonal register, similar to the well-known tuning fork-tabletop effect, was examined through field experiments in five concert halls. The topic comprises several aspects: (1) How well the mechanical impedances of double basses and the stage floor match, (2) amount of vibration...

Abstract In order to study the influence of arrangement thermal insulation floor on and mechanical properties hollow slab, ABAQUS is used establish model analysis behavior slab. By investigating distribution temperature, heat flux, damage deformation floor, mid-span deflection other characteristics section, it concluded that although transmission can be effectively obstructed by will transferre...

1. introduction the analysis of drainage networks is a powerful tool to detect recent tectonic activity and uplift, as river channels are very sensitive to changes in the parameters that control their shapes and. climate changes, tectonics and lithology affect river equilibrium conditions and hence, river geometry. a river is in dynamic equilibrium when erosion keeps pace with sedimentation and...

Floor planning is an important problem in very large scale integrated-circuit (VLSI) design automation domain as it evaluates the performance, size, yield and reliability of ICs. Due to rapid increase in number of components on a chip, floor planning has gained its importance further in determining the quality of the design achieved. In this paper we have devised an approach for placement of mo...
