The true shapes of the globular clusters (GCs) in M 31 have been derived from observed ellipticities. The nonparametric kernel estimates for the axis ratios distributions in the case of oblate or prolate spheroid hypothesis and the parametric estimates in the case of triaxial ellipsoid hypothesis have been used. The cluster shapes are inconsistent with the oblate/prolate hypothesis and only the...

SYNOPSIS Results of unconsolidated-undrained triaxial tests, field vane shear tests and cone penetration tests have been used to develop correlations between undrained shear strength and cone resistance for a soft to medium alluvial clay in the Lopez Canyon area of San Diego. When comparing uu triaxial results with cone resistance, the average cone factor was 11 with a standard deviation of 1.5...

We demonstrate that the nuclei of galaxies containing supermassive black holes can be triaxial in shape. Schwarzschild’s method was first used to construct self-consistent orbital superpositions representing nuclei with axis ratios of 1 : 0.79 : 0.5 and containing a central point mass representing a black hole. Two different density laws were considered, ρ ∝ r−γ , γ = {1, 2}. Only non-chaotic o...

We have constructed fully self-consistent models of triaxial galaxies with central density cusps. The triaxial generalizations of Dehnen's (1993) spherical mass models are presented, which have densities that vary as r −γ near the center and r −4 at large radii. We computed libraries of ∼ 7000 orbits in each of two triaxial models with γ = 1 (" weak cusp ") and γ = 2 (" strong cusp "); these tw...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and acceleration of postural sway in the Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction and Balance (CTSIB) by using a triaxial accelerometer for quantitative assessment. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-seven stroke patients participated in this study. Balance ability was evaluated with the BBS, and po...

Triaxial induction tools are used to evaluate fractured and lowresistivity reservoirs composed of thinly laminated sand-shale sequences. Thinly laminated and fractured reservoirs demonstrate transversely isotropic or fully anisotropic biaxial anisotropic electrical properties. Compared to the number of studies on transverse isotropy, relatively little work covers biaxial anisotropy because of t...

This paper provides a comparative study on the different techniques of classifying human activities that are performed using bodyworn miniature inertial and magnetic sensors. The classification techniques implemented and compared in this study are: Bayesian decision making (BDM), the least-squares method (LSM), the k-nearest neighbor algorithm (k-NN), dynamic time warping (DTW), support vector ...

An investigation of the current distribution in a 3-phase triaxial superconducting cable was conducted to study the phase imbalance under steady-state operation and to assist in the construction of a transient model to study operational impacts in a power grid. The triaxial cable consisted of three superconducting concentric phases inside a copper shield, with each phase composed of multiple la...

We develop an algorithm for reconstructing the triaxial shapes of dark matter halos from the anisotropic spatial distributions of their substructures. First, we construct an analytic model for the anisotropic spatial distributions of dark halo substructures under the assumption that the tidal field with non-zero trace in the triaxial mass distribution of the host halos generate the substructure...

We have recently developed a simple algorithm for the classification of household and locomotive activities using the ratio of unfiltered to filtered synthetic acceleration (gravity-removal physical activity classification algorithm, GRPACA) measured by a triaxial accelerometer. The purpose of the present study was to develop a new model for the immediate estimation of daily physical activity i...
