The need to visualize and interpret human body movement data from experiments and simulations has led to the development of a new, computerized, three-dimensional representation for the human body. Based on a skeleton of joints and segments, the model is manipulated by specifying joint positions with respect to arbitrary frames of reference. The external form is modelled as the union of overlap...

Torso joints can be considered as the landmarks of human body. An action consists of a series of body poses which are determined by the positions of the joints. With the rapid development of RGB-D camera technique and pose estimation research, the acquisition of the body joints has become much easier than before. Thus, we propose to incorporate joint positions with currently popular deep-learne...

OBJECTIVE To explore the disease-related, body image (BI) perceptions of women diagnosed with, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and fibromyalgia (FM). METHODS A purposive sample of twenty-seven females participated in individual semi-structured phone interviews to elicit BI perceptions relative to pain, activity limitations and coping measures. Sessions were digitally recorded, transcribed verbatim,...

To achieve the functionality required, the main processor printed circuit assembly for the product had to be extremely densely populated. This printed circuit assembly contains over 1000 components, including 29 XFP parts, 30 FP parts, and almost 8700 solder joints (see “HP E5200A Broadband Service Analyzer Surface Mount Assembly” for further details). Because of the sheer density of the printe...

Interpolation between compatible triangle meshes that represent different poses of some object is a fundamental operation in geometry processing. A common approach is to consider the static input shapes as points in a suitable shape space and then use simple linear interpolation in this space to find an interpolated shape. In this paper, we present a new interpolation technique that is particul...

Abstract: Two new species of bothriocephalidean cestodes, Clestobothrium splendidum sp. n. from Merluccius australis (Hutton) and Clestobothrium cristinae sp. n. from Merluccius hubbsi Marini from the Patagonian shelf of Argentina, are described. Clestobothrium splendidum can be typified by the following characteristics: a medium-sized strobila composed of410-528 proglottides that are much wide...
