obesity as a common health risk is increasing all over the world. the aim of this study was evaluation of standing and sitting positions on spirometric values in obese asthmatic patients, in comparison with normal obese subjects. the study included 49 obese asthmatic patients with mean age of 42.63 years and body mass index of 36.06 kg/m 2 , and 51 control obese normal subjects with mean age of...

Background: An infant should be able to coordinate sucking, swallowing, and breathing to have a safe and effective feeding, which is developed with the increasing gestational age. Any problem in each of these functions can lead to the risk of aspiration, pneumonia, decreased oxygenation saturation, apnea, and bradycardia. The changed body positions may cause changes in the physiological efficie...

Context. One of the tasks computer vision is task determining human body in image. There are many methods to solve this problem, some based on specific equipment (motion capture, kinect) and provide highest accuracy, give less accuracy but do not require additional use computing power. But usually, such has a high cost, so ensure low cost developments designed determine image, you should develo...

Let a smooth family of Riemannian metrics g(τ) satisfy the backwards Ricci flow equation on a compact oriented n-dimensional manifold M . Suppose two families of normalized n-forms ω(τ) ≥ 0 and ω̃(τ) ≥ 0 satisfy the forwards (in τ) heat equation on M generated by the connection Laplacian ∆g(τ). If these n-forms represent two evolving distributions of particles over M , the minimum root-mean-squa...
