This paper presents our approach to reducing the power consumption in our Gait Measurement System (GMS), which is the foundation for various monitoring and assistive systems. Our GMS is a small foot-mounted device based on an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), containing an accelerometer and a gyroscope. It can compute gait parameters in real-time, including cadence, velocity and stride length, b...

This qualitative study is an exploratory attempt to investigate hotel general managers’ (GMs) perceived work–family balance/interface issues from a strategic perspective. Based on 49 in-person, in-depth, in-office, interviews with full-service hotel GMs, the authors identify current strategic issue perceptions (SIPs) of hotel GMs and explore potential relationships between these SIPs and work–f...

Issues concerning the application of psychiatric measures across cultures are discussed in the light of the authors experiences with the Geriatric Mental State (GMS) and the WHO Quality of Life Instrument (WHOQOL). The aceptability of the GMS to non - literate populations are examined in the context of culture, age ascertainment, education and cognition and variances between the GMS - psychiatr...

In this paper a new fuzzy method for 2D texture classification is proposed. A fuzzy rule base system is designed based on computed Geometric Moments (GMs), which are rotation, scale and translation invariant, for each texture class. Although GMs are applied to classify texture, utilizing fuzzy inference system (FIS) to make decision, develops much more robust classifier. Where GMs are inputs an...

We investigate quantum aspects of Gopakumar-Minwalla-Strominger (GMS) solutions of noncommutative field theory (NCFT) at large noncommutativity limit, θ → ∞. Building upon a quantitative map between operator formulation of 2(respectively, (2+1)-) dimensional NCFTs and large N matrix models of c = 0 (respectively, c = 1) noncritical strings, we show that GMS solutions are quantum mechanically se...

The topic of this paper is inference in models in which parameters are defined by moment inequalities and/or equalities. The parameters may or may not be identified. This paper introduces a new class of confidence sets and tests based on generalized moment selection (GMS). GMS procedures are shown to have correct asymptotic size in a uniform sense and are shown not to be asymptotically conserva...

BACKGROUND In order to improve training performance, as well as avoid overloading during prevention and rehabilitation exercises in patients, the aim of this study was to understand the biomechanical differences in the knee, hip and the back between the exercises "Goodmornings" (GMs) and "Deadlifts" (DLs). METHODS The kinetics and kinematics of 13 subjects, performing GMs and DLs with an addi...
