In this study, implementation of markerless method of human body motion tracking as a tool of measurement of hurdle clearance kinematic parameters was presented. The analysis involved 5 hurdle runners at various training levels. Recording of video sequences was carried out under simulated starting conditions of a 110 m hurdle race. Kinematic parameters were determined based on the analysis of i...

Purpose. To evaluate and compare the accuracy of different intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas for eyes with an axial length (AL) greater than 26.00 mm. Methods. This study reviewed 407 eyes of 219 patients with AL longer than 26.0 mm. The refractive prediction errors of IOL power calculation formulas (SRK/T, Haigis, Holladay, Hoffer Q, and Barrett Universal II) using User Group f...

Midazolam clearance is used to phenotype hepatic CYP3A activity but requires multiple plasma samples following a single intravenous dose. The authors evaluated the use of a limited sampling scheme, using different assay techniques to determine the reproducibility of such a strategy in estimating midazolam AUC. Seventy-three healthy adults received midazolam as a single intravenous bolus dose. A...

abstract understanding distribution of physical and chemical soil parameters is very important in recognizing, planning, and soil and water resources management in precision agriculture. regard to the problems related to direct measurement, finding solution to estimate these parameters are very essential. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the spatial variation of some soil parameters su...

The main objective of this study was to develop a hybrid neuro-fuzzy system for estimating the magnitude of EMG responses of 10 trunk muscles based on two lifting task variables (trunk velocity and trunk moment) as model inputs. The input and output variables were represented using the fuzzy membership functions. The initial fuzzy rules were generated by the neural network using true EMG data. ...

In this study, taking into account the Aksu Stream data, daily total precipitation (P) and mean flow (Q) values were using time lagged, 8 different Rainfall-Runoff models created runoff value estimated for future. The have been tried with methods performances compared process. Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods, Neural Networks (ANN), Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) Heuristic Re...

Computation reduction is important for the implementation of software video codecs. This paper describes a scheme for reducing the required computations in video encoders by skipping some of the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and quantization calculations. We study the relationship between the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of the motion compensated difference blocks and the distribution of DCT coe...

We recently proposed a family of robust linear and nonlinear estimation techniques for recognizing the three emotion primitives–valence, activation, and dominance–from speech. These were based on both local and global speech duration, energy, MFCC and pitch features. This paper aims to study the relative importance of these four categories of acoustic features in this emotion estimation context...
