Whenever official approval for the introduction of genetically modified (GM) foods has been given in Europe or the United States, regulatory committees have invoked the concept of 'substantial equivalence'. This means that if a GM food can be characterized as substantially equivalent to its 'natural' antecedent, it can be assumed to pose no new health risks and hence to be acceptable for commer...

Motion capture is an increasingly popular animation technique; however data acquired by motion capture can become substantial. This makes it difficult to use motion capture data in a number of applications, such as motion editing, motion understanding, automatic motion summarization, motion thumbnail generation, or motion database search and retrieval. To overcome this limitation, we propose an...

objectives: the gals (gait, arms, legs and spine) examination is a compact version of standard procedures used by rheumatologists to determine musculoskeletal disorders in patients. computerization of such a clinical procedure is necessary to ensure an objective evaluation. this article presents the first steps in such an approach by outlining a procedure to use motion analysis techniques as a ...

In this note, we provide an original proof of the comparison theorem for multidimensional Brownian BSDEs in the case where at each line k the generator depends on the matrix variable Z only through its row k.

We study two-dimensional motion perception in flies using a semicircular visual stimulus. Measurements of both the H1-neuron and the optomotor response are consistent with a simple model supposing spatial integration of the outputs of correlation-type motion detectors. In both experiment and model, there is substantial H1 and horizontal (yaw) optomotor response to purely vertical motion of the ...

introduction: the use of multiple cameras for motion analysis and single joint motion is very difficult and needs high technology in laboratory conditions. detection of single joint motion in kinesthesia and analysis of its changes can be done by one camera at one direction. in this study, we present the validity and reliability of a new prototype simulator system used for motion analysis appli...

Head motion during brain CT studies can adversely affect the reconstructed image through distortion and other artifacts such as blurring and doubling, thereby losing substantial information. In this paper, we propose a method to detect and eliminate motion artifacts in Feldkamp-David-Kress (FDK) based three-dimensional (3D) cone-beam tomography. Motion detection is achieved by comparing the cor...
