Background: The extent to which homeostatically regulated physiological processes (including cardiorespiratory fitness expressed as VO2max) are involved in response physical stressors (which include acclimatization and marching) has not been studied,, we intended make this assessment based on measured cortisol levels blood lactate subjects exposed summer winter marching.
 Methods: Two grou...

Visualization depends among other things on the interpolant used in generating images. One way to assess this is to construct case tables for Marching Cubes that represent the chosen interpolant accuracy. Instead, we show how to construct the interpolants induced by Marching Cases for comparison and assessment, how to extend this approach to Marching Squares, Cubes and Hypercubes, and how to co...

The project evaluates how well a haptic device can be used to interact with a visualization of volumetric data. Since the interface to the haptic device require explicit surface descriptions, triangles had to be constructed from the volumetric data. The algorithm used to extract these triangles is marching cubes. The triangles produced by marching cubes are then transmitted to the haptic device...

Marching with essential survival equipment is a fundamental military exercise. A consequence of this increased load is an increased risk of dehydration. Dehydration may have fatal consequences in a combat situation where performance must be optimal. This risk can be minimized with an understanding of the additional fluid needs of soldiers marching when loaded compared to unloaded. The aim of th...

OBJECTIVE The purpose was to determine if Soldier rucksack load, marching distance, and average heart rate (HR) during shooting affect the probability of hitting the target. BACKGROUND Infantry Soldiers routinely carry heavy rucksack loads and are expected to engage enemy targets should a threat arise. METHOD Twelve male Soldiers performed two 11.8 km marches in forested terrain at 4.3 km/h...

Marching triangles is a method for producing a polygon mesh surface approximation composed of triangular facets which are approximately equilateral. This paper improves the Marching Triangles algorithm where the inputs are multiple range images of scenes. C discontinuities (fold edges) are detected and used to constrain the final triangulation, thus increasing the accuracy of the mesh at sharp ...
