A novel pose normalization method, based on panoramic views and reflective symmetry, is presented. Initially, the surface of a 3D model is projected onto the lateral surface of a circumscribed cylinder, aligned with the primary principal axis of space. Based on this cylindrical projection, a normals’ deviation map is extracted and using an octree-based search strategy, the rotation which optima...

In this paper, based on feedback linearization control method and using a special PI (propotational integrator) regulator (IP) in combination with a feed-forward controller, a three-phase induction servo-drive is speed controlled. First, an observer is employed to estimate the rotor d and q axis flux components. Then, two input-output state variables are introduced to control the dynamics of to...

original article   one type of electromagnetic fields, based on frequency range, is extremely low frequency (elf) fields. there are lots of reports about measuring elf-magnetic field (mf) in substations, power plants, cities and etc. this study aimed to compare the difference between measurement of three-axis and single-axis probe mf meters. elf-mf was measured by tes-1394 mf tester (three-axis...

at times, despite an unripe cervix, induction of labor may be needed. in these cases, a safe and suitable method should be considered for cervical ripening and pregnancy termination. the aim of this study is the comparison of vaginal misoprostol with foley catheter for cervical ripening and induction of labor. this randomized clinical trial was performed on 108 pregnant women who had referred t...

induction of labor is one of the most common procedures during pregnancy. various methods for cervical ripening and labor induction have been described in the obstetrics literature; but the role of corticosteroids in the process of labor is not entirely understood. this study challenged the possible role of corticosteroids in induction of labor by extra-amniotic injection through an inflated in...

induction heating is widely used in metal industry for melting or heating thin slabs in a continuous casting plant. the wide application is based on good efficiency, high production rate and non-polluting conditions. for designing a parallel resonant induction heating system, calculating the capacitance for the resonant circuit is important, because its value affects resonance frequency, output...

both midazolam and thiopental sodium are being used as induction agents and for maintenance of anesthesia. in contrast to other benzodiazepines such as diazepam, midazolam has a rapid onset of action and fast distribution and causes few cardiovascular or respiratory effects. being water soluble, midazolam is also associated with a low incidence of venous irritation. the purpose of this study wa...
