preparing thermal comfort conditions in outdoor public spaces is one of the considerations of architectural design. if the constructed area does not support comfortable conditions in outdoor spaces, it will cause microclimatic problems for pedestrians and adjacent buildings. regarding the different thermal comfort conditions in outdoor spaces in comparison with indoor, several indices have been...

against the range-dependent accuracy of the tracking radar measurements including range, elevation and bearing angles, a new hybrid adaptive kalman filter is proposed to enhance the performance of the radar aided strapdown inertial navigation system (ins/radar). this filter involves the concept of residual-based adaptive estimation and adaptive fading kalman filter and tunes dynamically the fil...

radar transmitters emit high-power radiofrequency radiation by creation of a high-voltage and high-frequency alternating electrical current.health effects of occupational exposure to military radar were investigated. visual reaction time was recorded with a simple blind computer-assisted-visual reaction time test. to assess the short-term memory, modified wechsler memory scale test was performe...

In this study, variations of radar backscatter features of the tidal channel in Gyeonggi Bay in the Eastern Yellow Sea were investigated using spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. Consistent quasi-linear bright features appeared on the SAR images. Examining the detailed local bathymetry chart, we found that the features were co-located with the major axis of the tidal channel in th...

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a combination of interrelated risk factors associated with an increased risk of developing type II diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), stroke and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The economic, social and medical burden coupled with increased morbidity of the aforementioned diseases makes their prevention an active research area. Currently, the traditional method of MetS diagnos...

In order to generate a continuous radar simulation image to meet the practical need of navigation simulator, a method is presented to generate radar simulation data extracted from multi-scale S-57 standard electronic charts. In this paper, outliers index algorithm based on forward distance is presented firstly to clip the boundary line. Then buffers are built to merge and de-duplicate data acco...

OBJECTIVES In this paper we present a method for processing and presentation of data recorded through structured observation of clinicians' information and communication activities. The activities are encoded as sequences of distinctive speech acts, and resulting profiles of communicative behaviour are visualized in radar graphs. Example profiles resulting from the analysis of three clinicians'...
