Communities worldwide are critically re-examining their seasonal cultures and calendars. As cultural frameworks, seasons have long patterned community life and provided repertoires for living by annual rhythms. In a chaotic world, the seasons - winter, the monsoon and so on - can feel like stable cultural …

PURPOSE: In 2018, the SARCUS working group published a first article on the standardization of the use of ultrasound to assess muscle. Recommendations were made for patient positioning, system settings and components to be measured. Also, shortcomings in knowledge were mentioned. An important issue that …

Introduction: Visually impaired people experience trouble with navigation and orientation due to their weakened ability to rely on eyesight to monitor the environment [1][2]. Smartphones such as the iPhone are already popular devices among the visually impaired for navigating [3]. We explored if an iPhone …

Nagasaki Bus maakte ten tijden van, en voor het afstudeerproject gebruik van een functioneel verouderde routeplanner, met als grootste tekortkoming het gebrek aan ondersteuning voor overstappen. De planner gaf alleen resultaten wanneer het vertrekpunt en de bestemming door een en dezelfde bus wordt aangedaan. …

We need mental and physical reference points. We need physical reference points such as signposts to show us which way to go, for example to the airport or the hospital, and we need reference points to show us where we are. Why? If you don’t know where you are, it’s quite a difficult job to find your …

Voor u ligt het resultaat van een (nederlandstalig) onderzoek naar de belevingswaarde van eilanden. We verwachten dat landmarks, zicht en randen de basis zijn voor de beleving van eilanden. Deze ruimtelijke karakteristieken zijn essentieel; als je een van de drie wegneemt, valt het eilandgevoel weg. …

The differences between Chinese aid and traditional aid can be found in all aspects of the traditional and Chinese aid policies.

In the course of its 175-year history two clear landmarks stand out: in 1890 the Academy became a military vocational school for pupils with a h.b.s.-education and in 1960 the choice for an academic education …

Abstract—In many biomechanical motion studies, kinematic parameters are estimated from position measurements on a number of landmarks. In the present investigation, dummy motion experiments are performed in order to study the error dependence of kinematic parameters on geometric factors (number of markers, …

In biomechanical joint-motion analyses, the continuous motion to be studied is often approximated by a sequence of finite displacements, and the Finite Helical Axis(FHA) or "screw axis" for each displacement is estimated from position measurements on a number of anatomical or artificial landmarks. When …
