Motility analysis by means of video tracked markers
2018
Abstract The motility of the gastrointestinal tract is crucial for digestive activity and dysfunction can lead to severe disease pattern. A method for analysing the motility is needed when treatment approaches shall be evaluated. Therefore markers attached to different locations on the stomach and the bowel of pigs are video tracked in this research study. The markers are designed to provide a high contrast and have an adhesive side for fixation. Above the operation field a video camera has been placed to film the markers during the procedure. To analyse the video data a special algorithm has been implemented. The algorithm requires a registration process at the beginning of each recording …
Motivational strategies used by principals in the management of schools : the case of some selected secondary schools in the Fako Division of the Sou…
2015
ABSTRACT The study examined the Motivational Strategies of Principals in the Management of selected secondary Schools in Fako Division of the Southwest Region of Cameroon. The study was guided by three research objectives and three research questions. The descriptive survey design was used to collect data from a representative sample of the population using questionnaires for teachers and principals. The data was analyzed using means and standard deviation and presented on tables and histograms. The findings revealed that: motivational strategies of principals include those related to Empathetic, Supportive, caring and just on academic and disciplinary matters; positive leadership Character…
Om klasslärarnas motivation och behörighet att undervisa i B1-svenska i sjätte klass och erfarenheter av svensklärarrollen
2018
Tämän tutkielman mielenkiinto kohdistuu seitsemän ensimmäistä lukuvuottaan ruotsia opettavan luokanopettajan motivaatioon, kelpoisuuteen ja ruotsin opet-tajana toimimiseen. Elokuussa 2016 peruskoulun opetussuunnitelman uudis-tumisen myötä ruotsin opetus siirtyi alkamaan kuudennelta luokalta, jolloin ai-neenopettajien lisäksi myös jotkin luokanopettajat alkoivat toimia B1-ruotsin opettajina. Tutkielmassa on kartoitettu luokanopettajien motiiveja ryhtyä opet-tamaan muiden alakoulun oppiaineiden lisäksi myös ruotsin kieltä, heidän ruot-sin kielen taustaansa, ajatuksiaan ruotsin opettajan tehtävästä ja pätevyyskä-sityksistä ruotsin opettajana sekä kuultu heidän kokemuksiaan kuluneen vuo-den ope…
A visualization technique for accessing solution pool in interactive methods of multiobjective optimization
2015
<pre>Interactive methods of <span>multiobjective</span> optimization repetitively derive <span>Pareto</span> optimal solutions based on decision maker's preference information and present the obtained solutions for his/her consideration. Some interactive methods save the obtained solutions into a solution pool and, at each iteration, allow the decision maker considering any of solutions obtained earlier. This feature contributes to the flexibility of exploring the <span>Pareto</span> optimal set and learning about the optimization problem. However, in the case of many objective functions, the accumulation of derived solutions makes accessing the sol…
Analysis of the psicometric properties of a multiplication and division processes assessment scale
2019
Esta comunicación se encuentra disponible en la siguiente URL: http://www.infad.eu/RevistaINFAD/OJS/index.php/IJODAEP/article/view/1464/1321 Este número está dedicado a la "Psicología de la Educación y Saberes Originarios". The domain of multiplication and division operations depends on both algorithm management and the ability to identify the semantic structure of the problem and to translate it into mathematical language. Many students present difficulties in identifying the semantic structure of the problem but not applying the algorithm when the problem is presented numericaly. The aim of the study is to validate an assessment tool of the processes involved in multiplication and divisio…
Sensors based on MultiSpectral Filter Arrays
2014
International audience; Spectral Filter arrays (SFA) is an emerging technology for multispectral image acquisition. SFAs make possible the use of a compact multispectral sensor to acquire still images or video. One part of this talk will present and compare typical multispectral and color image acquisition systems in order to clearly identify differences underlying SFA technologies. The other part of this talk will show the difficulties and advances that we have made at the University of Bourgogne in the building of such sensors from the design of filters to data processing, such as demosaicing.
Spatial Cognition 2020/1: Book of abstracts : August 2-4, 2021, University of Latvia
2021
Spatial Cognition is concerned with the acquisition, development, representation, organization, and use of knowledge about spatial objects in real, virtual or hybrid environments and processed by human or artificial agents. Spatial Cognition includes research from different fields insofar as they are concerned with cognitive agents and space, such as cognitive and developmental psychology, linguistics, computer science, geography, cartography, philosophy, neuroscience, and education. Research issues in the field range from the investigation of human spatial cognition to mobile robot navigation, including topics such as wayfinding, spatial planning, spatial learning, internal and external re…
Clonal heterogeneity of the growth and invasive response of a human breast carcinoma cell line to parathyroid hormone-related peptide fragments
1997
It has been previously reported that 8701-BC cells, derived from a primary carcinoma of the breast, constitutively express parathyroid hormone (PTH)-related peptide (PTHrP) and PTH/PTHrP receptor (PTH/PTHrP-R) genes, that N-terminal, mid-regional and C-terminal immunoreactive PTHrP can be found in cell conditioned medium and, furthermore, that exogenously added PTHrP (1-34), (67-86) and, to a minor extent, (107-139) are anti-mitogenic but promote Matrigel invasion by this cell line. It has also been reported that PTHrP gene expression is selectively switched on in those 8701-BC clonal lines endowed with a higher proliferation rate and invasive ability in vitro. Here we have first examined t…
Effect of patella resurfacing on functional outcome and revision rate in primary total knee arthroplasty (Review).
2021
Anterior knee pain, as well as patellofemoral disorders, after total knee arthroplasty are important reasons for revision in total knee arthroplasty. Current prosthesis designs include patellar components for patella replacement, and together with improved rational design of the prosthesis and advancement in knee alignment these appear to reduce the incidence of anterior knee pain following total knee replacement, even if the etiology of anterior knee pain remains unclear. However, new complications related to patella resurfacing emerge with this approach. At present, there are three strategies involving patella replacement in total knee arthroplasty: There are surgeons who always replace t…
Computed tomography assessment of temporomandibular joint position and dimensions in patients with class II division 1 and division 2 malocclusions
2016
Background This study aimed to investigate and compare the positions and dimensions of the temporomandibular joint and its components, respectively, in patients with Class II division 1 and division 2 malocclusions. Material and methods Computed tomography images of 14 patients with Class II division 1 and 14 patients with Class II division 2 malocclusion were included with a mean age of 11.4 ± 1.2 years. The following temporomandibular joint measurements were made with OsiriX medical imaging software program. From the sagittal images, the anterior, superior, and posterior joint spaces and the mandibular fossa depths were measured. From the axial images, the greatest anteroposterior and med…
