Aim The aim of this article, the fifth in the care maps series, is to describe a care map that enables healthcare professionals, especially community mental health nurses, and patients to manage hyperprolactinaemia (prolactin elevation), a side effect of atypical antipsychotic drugs. Atypical antipsychotics that have a high, low or very low risk of hyperprolactinaemia are identified (Box 1). Th...

A new algorithm for reconstructing contour map from raster DEM data is presented. It runs completely within the programmable 3D visualization pipeline in real-time. During the rendering, we first make an elevation gradient map out of original terrain vertex data. Then figure out the final contour lines with image-space processing, and blend the values on the original scene to obtain the final s...

A growing number of applications needs GIS mapping information and commercial 3-D roadmaps especially. This paper presents a solution of accessing freely to 3-D map information and updating in the context of transport applications. The method relies on the OSM road networks that is 2-D modeled intrinsically. The objective is to estimate the road elevation and inclination parameters by fusing GP...

This study explored a combination of hyperspectral and lidar systems for vegetation mapping in the Florida Everglades. A framework was designed to integrate two remotely sensed datasets and four data processing techniques. Lidar elevation and intensity features were extracted from the original point cloud data to avoid the errors and uncertainties in the raster-based lidar methods. Lidar signif...

When users search for the routes between two places using map based services, these services compute and provide the top candidate routes based on shortest geometric distances or ideal time consuming. However, other real factors like physical exertion and practical time consuming will influence user experience, and the environmental factors like steep slope and traffic jam that result in these ...

Through different phases of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data acquired on dates and/or at satellite imaging locations, the interferometric SAR (InSAR) technique has long been used to map ground deformation or generate global digital elevation model (DEM) (e [...]

INTRODUCTION The purpose of our study was to determine whether hypothermia has any effects on physiological hemodynamic responses to epinephrine (Epi), and whether rewarming reverses these effects. METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were instrumented to measure mean arterial pressure (MAP), and left ventricular (LV) pressure-volume changes were recorded by using a Millar pressure-volume conductance ...

We propose an elevation-based approach to parking lot structure analysis from aerial imagery. In contrast to image-based methods, the new approach treats parked vehicles as 3-D microstructures and attempts to locate them in the elevation domain. The STME (Surface Texture and Microstructure Extraction) system is applied to the elevation map to extract the 3-D microstructures. A hybrid applicatio...
