Using the results of the assessment of desirability from the viewpoint of employees and the computer analysis of space syntax, the desirability factors of work desk arrangement in office space have been analyzed in the present study. Firstly a pictorial questionnaire was distributed among 113 employees in two offices of Tabriz city to obtain the desirable sitting places in the room (considering...

Until recently, it was considered necessary for features in the two eyes to be matched before the evaluation of differences in their locations (binocular disparities) could reveal depth information. Motion in depth can also be perceived binocularly from related changes in the locations of matched binocular features. However, unmatched features can arise when a binocular object occludes more dis...

In this work a Cartesian impedance controller for flexible joint robots is applied in a mobile manipulation setup for opening a door. The considered mobile manipulation system is a combination of the DLR-Lightweight-Robot-II and the DLR-Hand-II with a mobile platform. The presentation focuses on the Cartesian impedance control of the arm with special emphasis on the treatment of the joint elast...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to analyze recent trends in door-to-reperfusion time and to identify hospital characteristics associated with improved performance. BACKGROUND Rapid reperfusion improves survival for patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). METHODS In this retrospective observational study from the National Registry of Myocardial Infarc...

AIM. To study social, demographic, clinical, and forensic profiles of frequently re-hospitalized (revolving-door) psychiatric patients. METHODS. The study included all patients (n=183) who were admitted to our hospital 3 or more times during a 2-year period from 1999 through 2000. We compared these patients to 2 control groups of patients who were admitted to our hospital in the same period. Fo...

Face recognition system have been widely developed. The machine vision system becomes an interest of many researchers in various fields of science. It provides the most important characteristic of natural interaction that is personalization. Automatic face recognition is a challenging problem, since human faces have a complex pattern. This paper presents a method for recognition of frontal huma...

Background: In patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the preferred reperfusion therapy. Timely primary PCI is essential in improving the clinical outcomes of these patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors affecting balloon delay in STEMI treated patients by primary PCI and its relationship with ma...

This paper studies whether trading in social networks allocates a new technology efficiently. I use a field experiment in Odisha India to compare decentralized trade of a new technology through networks with an approach where demand was revealed via door-to-door sales. While 84% of farmers are expected to gain from the technology, only 7% adopt in networks. Conversely, 40% of farmers adopt when...
