Although tilt tables are used by physiotherapists to reintroduce patients to the vertical position, no quantitative evidence is available regarding their use within intensive care units (ICUs) of Australian hospitals. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of tilt tables in physiotherapy management of patients in ICUs across Australia. Ninety-nine physiotherapists working in Australi...

N-grams have been widely investigated for a number of text processing tasks. However n-gram based systems often labor under the large memory requirements of naïve storage of the large vectors that describe the many n-grams that could potentially appear in documents. This problem becomes more severe as the number of documents (and hence the number of vectors to store and process) rises. A natura...

This paper discusses the new inpainting algorithm for handling the images in the virtualized-reality indoor models. The untextured regions in the indoor model are textured by this proposed inpainting method which guarantees the texture and the structure propagation. We call this as a hybrid method because it combines the effectiveness of the two popular inpainting algorithms namely, the Exempla...

Autonomic nervous system Posture Blood pressure Head up tilt Original Article AIMS: Orthostatic stress is commonly utilized to evaluate the cardiovascular autonomic function. This is done by Head Up Tilt (HUT).. Tilt table test is a standardized, physiological, clinically relevant stimulus that challenges the cardiovascular regulation. By the performance of head up tilt, it is possible to asses...
