We present a methodology for calculating the conditional temporal moments of kinetically sorbing solutes based on the conditional temporal moments of non-reactive tracers. The methodology is based on a Lagrangian description of solute transport in heterogeneous media, and it can be applied to a large variety of flow configurations and mass-transfer ratelimited processes. A stochastic approach i...

Statistical moments can offer a powerful means for object description in object sequences. Moments used in this way provide a description of the changing shape of the object with time. Using these descriptions to predict temporal views of the object requires efficient and accurate reconstruction of the object from a limited set of moments, but accurate reconstruction from moments has as yet rec...

The increasing interest in processing sequences of images motivates development of techniques for sequence-based object analysis and description. Accordingly, new velocity moments have been developed to allow a statistical description of both shape and associated motion through an image sequence. Through a generic framework motion information is determined using the established centralised mome...

The goal of this study was to compare treadmill walking with overground walking in healthy subjects with no known gait disorders. Nineteen subjects were tested, where each subject walked on a split-belt instrumented treadmill as well as over a smooth, flat surface. Comparisons between walking conditions were made for temporal gait parameters such as step length and cadence, leg kinematics, join...

Modeling of the full temporal behavior of photons propagating in diffusive materials is computationally costly. Rather than deriving intensity as a function of time to fine sampling, we may consider methods that derive a transform of this function. To derive the Fourier transform involves calculation in the (complex) frequency domain and relates to intensity-modulated experiments. We consider i...

New Zernike velocity moments have been developed to describe an object, not only by its shape , but also by its motion throughout an image sequence. These are an extended form of the orthogonal Zernike moment set and include velocity information introduced via centralised moments. Initial analysis shows that they perform well when applied to analysing gait sequences resulting in a good recognit...

[1] We present an approach to infer mass transfer parameters based on (1) an analytical model that relates the temporal moments of mobile and bulk concentration and (2) a bicontinuum modification to Archie’s law. Whereas conventional geochemical measurements preferentially sample from the mobile domain, electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is sensitive to bulk electrical conductivity and, th...
