OBJECTIVES The authors sought to gain further perspective on discrimination experienced by persons with mental illness by comparing self-reports of discrimination due to mental illness to self-reports of discrimination due to other group characteristics, such as race, gender, and sexual orientation. METHODS A total of 1,824 persons with serious mental illness who participated in a baseline in...

This paper presents three trajectory tracking control strategies for unicycle‐type robots based on a leader‐followers scheme. The leader robot converges asymptotically to a smooth trajectory, while the follower robots form an undirected open‐chain configuration at the same time. It is also shown that the orientation angles of all the robots converge to the same value. The...

This paper describes a new method to calibrate the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of a generalized catadioptric camera (central or non-central) if correspondences between incident lines in space and pixels are provided (black box model calibration) in an arbitrary world reference frame. The parameters calibrated are the intrinsic parameters of the pinhole camera, the coefficients of the mir...

Almost all Augmented Reality (AR) systems work indoors. Outdoor AR systems offer the potential for new application areas. The biggest single obstacle to building effective AR systems is the lack of accurate wide-area sensors for trackers that report the locations and orientations of objects in an environment. Active (sensor-emitter) tracking technologies require powered-device installation, lim...

The coupling of new medical imaging data, fractional anisotropy and axonal fiber orientation from Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) of 12 healthy patients called the DTI atlas with the Strasbourg University Finite Element Head Model has been done to improve the brain constitutive material law with more efficient improved heterogeneous anisotropic visco‐hyperelastic material la...

We previously reported a high level of information on the Austrian organ donation law in medical and non-medical students, patients and ICU nurses, whereby ICU nurses at University Hospital in Graz (n = 185) were very well informed and also had the most critical view of the Austrian organ donation law.This letter reports the extension of our previous study to ICU nurses from hospitals with a Ch...

The article is devoted to a motion control problem for a differentially driven mobile robot in the task of trajectory tracking in the presence of skid-slip effects. The kinematic control concept presented in the paper is the Vector Field Orientation (VFO) feedback approach with a nonlinear feed-forward skid-slip influence compensation scheme. The VFO control law guarantees asymptotic convergenc...

The generalized spherical Radon transform associates the mean values over spherical tori to a function f defined on S ⊂ H, where the elements of S are considered as quaternions representing rotations. It is introduced into the analysis of crystallographic preferred orientation and identified with the probability density function corresponding to the angle distribution function W . Eventually, t...

Annotating unlabeled motion captures plays an important role in Computer Animation for motion analysis and motion edition purposes. Locomotion is a difficult case study as all the limbs of the human body are involved whereas a lowdimensional global motion is performed. The oscillatory nature of the locomotion makes difficult the distinction between straight steps and turning ones, especially fo...

A law is designed for simultaneous control of the orientation of an Earth-pointing spacecraft, the energy stored by counter-rotating flywheels, and the angular momentum of the flywheels and control moment gyroscopes used together as an integrated set of actuators for attitude control. General , nonlinear equations of motion are presented in vector-dyadic form, and used to obtain approximate exp...
