A Multi-Projector Calibration Method for Virtual Reality Simulators with Analytically Defined Screens
2017
The geometric calibration of projectors is a demanding task, particularly for the industry of virtual reality simulators. Different methods have been developed during the last decades to retrieve the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of projectors, most of them being based on planar homographies and some requiring an extended calibration process. The aim of our research work is to design a fast and user-friendly method to provide multi-projector calibration on analytically defined screens, where a sample is shown for a virtual reality Formula 1 simulator that has a cylindrical screen. The proposed method results from the combination of surveying, photogrammetry and image processing approac…
Psychometric Properties of the Scoliosis Research Society Questionnaire (Version 22r) Domains Among Adults With Spinal Deformity : A Rasch Measuremen…
2022
Objective: Adults with degenerative spinal deformity (ASD) have lower health-related quality of life (HRQL) compared to the general population. Applying Rasch Measurement Theory (RMT), this study tested the revised Scoliosis Research Society-22 (SRS-22r) HRQL instrument among symptomatic adult patients with degenerative spinal disorders and varying degrees of ASD. Methods: SRS-22r data from 637 outpatient spine clinic patients with degenerative spine conditions were investigated for unidimensionality, item/scale fit, differential item functioning (DIF), scale coverage/targeting, and person separation index (PSI) using RMT. Results: Unidimensionality of the SRS-22r was not supported for eith…
Sleep Disturbances in COPD are Associated with Heterogeneity of Airway Obstruction
2018
Individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) experience sleep disturbances due to the impact of respiratory symptoms on sleep quality. We explored whether sleep disturbances in COPD are linked to heterogeneity of airway constriction.The impact of breathing problems on sleep quality was measured in consecutive COPD outpatients with the COPD and Asthma Sleep Impact Scale (CASIS) questionnaire. Impulse oscillometry technique (IOS) was employed to assess heterogeneity of airway constriction. Subjects with a previous or concomitant diagnosis of asthma or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) were excluded.Fifty COPD subjects (M/F 40/10; age: 71 +/- 8 yrs, Body Mass Index (BMI): 26.2 +/-…
Dž.D. Selindžera romāna “Uz kraujas rudzu laukā” tulkojuma latviešu valodā analīze. Atkārtota tulkojuma izstrādes priekšlikumi
2018
Maģistra darbā analizēts Dž. D. Selindžera romāna “Uz kraujas rudzu laukā” (1951) vienīgais tulkojums latviešu valodā (1969. g., tulk. A. Bauga). Pētījumā apkopotas pētnieku atziņas par atkārtotās tulkošanas hipotēzi, slengu un tā tulkošanas īpatnībām un romāna “Uz kraujas rudzu laukā” stilistikas specifiku, tulkošanas problemātiku un atkārtotiem tulkojumiem citās valodās. Praktiskajā daļā veikta Baugas izraudzīto tulkošanas stratēģiju analīze – tika konstatēta R. Raitas-Kovaļovas krievu valodas tulkojuma ietekme, kā arī tas, ka Bauga dažādojusi vienu un to pašu vārdu atveidi, lamuvārdi vietām mīkstināti vai izlaisti, daži fragmenti cenzēti pavisam, konstatēti mūsdienās novecojuši vārdi.

Prior Experience and Student Satisfaction with E-Tandem Language Learning of Spanish and English
2018
Recent literature in the field of foreign language learning has indicated that classroom learning is not necessarily enough for students to acquire proficiency in a foreign language. Learners who achieve a high level in the target language often combine work in the classroom with activities outside it. At the same time, a number of studies indicate that, when foreign language learners do work with their target language beyond the classroom, it is often to practice the receptive skills of reading and listening as opposed to the productive ones of speaking and writing. For this reason, students at The College of New Jersey in the United States and Universidad de Alcalá in Spain were paired up…
Shoulder ultrasound: current concepts and future perspectives
2021
Ultrasonography is an established and effective imaging technique that can be used to evaluate articular and periarticular structures around the shoulder. It has been shown to be useful in a wide range of rotator cuff diseases (e.g. tendon tears, rotator cuff calcific tendinopathy and bursitis) as well as non-rotator cuff abnormalities (instability, synovial joint diseases and nerve entrapment syndrome). A scanning protocol is highly recommended to reduce the rate of operators’ errors by following a standardized scheme including a list of main structures. Shoulder ultrasound has several advantages: it is a relatively cheap and widely available technique, free from ionizing radiation, that c…
Práctica 3. Soporte vital básico
2011
El Soporte Vital Básico (SVB) incluye los tres primeros eslabones de la Cadena de supervivencia: el Reconocimiento de la parada cardíaca y activación del Sistema de emergencia, la Reanimación cardiopulmonar y la Desfibrilación precoz. En la Reanimación cardiopulmonar se suceden la valoración del nivel de conciencia, de la ventilación y de la circulación sanguínea, así como la secuencia de compresiones y/o ventilaciones. Estos pasos presentan diferencias en relación a su aplicación, en el adulto y el niño menor de 1 año. El Suport Vital Bàsic (SVB) inclou els tres primers eslabons de la Cadena de supervivència: el Reconeiximent de la parada cardíaca i activació del Sistema d’emergència, la R…

Percutaneous Recanalization of Chronic Total Occlusions : 2019 Consensus Document from the EuroCTO Club
2019
Since its inception in December 2006, the EuroCTO Club has strived to provide the framework for state-of-the-art chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Europe and nearby regions. Among its initiatives, the EuroCTO Club has published a set of recommendations regarding the technical aspects of CTO PCI, whose last edition dates to 2012. The EuroCTO Club consensus document discusses CTO PCI clinical indications, techniques and equipment use, as well as the qualifications of operators/centres. Given the considerable amount of progress made by this subspecialty in recent years, there is a need for an updated document that includes data from recent clinical trial…
