In fact, multi-strip condi...

BACKGROUND Military personnel are usually exposed to high levels of impulse noise (IN) which can lead to hearing loss. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of relatively low level exposure of impulse noise (IN) during shooting practice on hearing using pure tone audiometry (PTA) and transiently evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) in military personnel. MATERIALS AN...

The effects of illumination and shooting distance on crack image recognition were investigated by examining cracks in images taken with a camera. In order to examine the effects, images of cracks in a concrete structure taken while varying the illumination and shooting distance in an outdoor environment were analyzed. The images were acquired at a daytime illumination of 52,000 lx and a night i...

Abstract Aims: Shooting is one of the most important skills for military accommodation, and mastery in this sport or military skill is valuable. People are very different, both in terms of physicality and physicality. The main issue of the present study is to predict the accuracy of soldiers' shooting based on physical factors and behavioral brain personality traits. Method: The present study...

A shooting method for two{point{boundary value problems for fully implicit index{ 1 and {2 diierential{algebraic equations is presented. A combination of the shooting equations with a method of the calculation of consistent initial values leads to a system of nonlinear algebraic equations with nonsingular Jacobian. Examples are given.

Among rampage shooting massacres, the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting on December 14, 2012 galvanized public attention. In this Commentary we examine the features of this episode of gun violence that has sparked strong reactions and energized discourse that may ultimately lead toward constructive solutions to diminish high rates of firearm deaths and injuries in the United States.

Differential equation modeling is central to applications of mathematics to science and engineering. When a particular system of equations is used in an application, it is often important to determine unknown parameters. We compare the traditional shooting method to versions of multiple shooting methods in chaotic systems with noise added and conduct numerical experiments as to the reliability ...
