In a continuation of a prospective longitudinal cohort study in a healthy population on the course of skull shape from birth to 24 months, at 5 years of age, 248 children participated in a follow-up assessment using plagiocephalometry (ODDI-oblique diameter difference index, CPI-cranio proportional index). …

KIP-project van onderzoeksprogramma Maps4Society van STW. Uit de inleiding: Dit onderzoek beschrijft "manieren, waarop deformatiemetingen worden uitgevoerd, wat deformatiemetingen, zijn en hoe ze uitgevoerd moeten worden" "Geodetische deformatieanalyse is een onderbelicht vakgebied. Slechts een beperkt …

From the article: Abstract Adjustment and testing of a combination of stochastic and nonstochastic observations is applied to the deformation analysis of a time series of 3D coordinates. Nonstochastic observations are constant values that are treated as if they were observations. They are used to formulate …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the inter-fractional deformation of the esophagus during radiotherapy treatment of esophageal cancer, using three-dimensional (3D) kilovolt (kV) conebeam computed tomography (CBCT). Additionally, deformation of the aorta and distance between aorta and esophagus …

This paper investigates the limits and efficacies of the Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) material for strengthening mid-rise RC buildings against seismic actions. Turkey, the region of the highest seismic risk in Europe, is chosen as the case-study country, the building stock of which consists in its …

Author supplied: "This paper gives a linearised adjustment model for the affine, similarity and congruence transformations in 3D that is easily extendable with other parameters to describe deformations. The model considers all coordinates stochastic. Full positive semi-definite covariance matrices and …

Remote maintenance activities in ITER will be performed by a unique set of hardware systems, supported by an extensive software kit. A layer of middleware will manage and control a complex set of interconnections between teams of operators, hardware devices in various operating theatres, and databases …

Deformation quantities such as strain, curvature and displacement are of paramount importance in seismic design within a performance-based procedure that aims to control the structural response at predefined levels of inelastic action. Given the importance of curvature expressions independent of strength …

This paper is concerned with the governance of geodetic deformation measurements. If we want to know if and how fast a country, or parts of it, are subsiding or rising, who decides that it should be measured and how is the methodology determined? What interests are at stake? How is the proper use and …
