Gait is a biometric feature and gait recognition has become a challenging problem in computer vision. New wavelet velocity moments have been developed to describe and recognize gait. Wavelet moments are translation, scale and rotation invariant. Wavelet analysis has the trait of multi-resolution analysis, which strengthens the analysis ability to image subtle feature. According with the psychol...

Background: Balance disorder is one of the most-studied fields in low-back pain patients (LBP). However, there isinsufficient information regarding the effect of LBP subgrouping on postural control. The purpose of the present studywas to compare postural control between subgroups of chronic nonspecific LBP and healthy subjects during lifting.Methods: A total of 35 men with chronic LBP (19 activ...

In the present paper, an analysis was carried out to investigate effects of radiation on a free convection flow bounded by a vertical surface embedded in a porous medium with constant suction velocity. It was under the influence of uniform magnetic field in the presence of a homogenous chemical reaction and viscous dissipation with constant heat and mass flux. The non-dimensional governing equa...

Nanoscale science and technology has today mainly focused on the fabrication of nano devices. In this paper, we study the use of lithography process to build the desired nanostructures directly. Nanolithography on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) surface is carried out by using Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) equipped with silicon tip, in contact mode. The analysis of the results shows that the ...

Migration velocity analysis includes both depth-focusing analysis and residual curvature analysis of coherency panels. In either method, it is widely used for 2-D velocity analysis in regions of complex geological structures. Unfortunately, since complex structures tend to be 3-D structures, 3-D prestack depth migration is desirable. The most commonly proposed candidate is kinematic Kirchhoff m...

Linear stability analysis of the three dimensional plane wake flow is performed using a mapped finite di?erence scheme in a domain which is doubly infinite in the cross–stream direction of wake flow. The physical domain in cross–stream direction is mapped to the computational domain using a cotangent mapping of the form y = ?cot(??). The Squire transformation [2], proposed by Squire, is also us...
