Estimating the non-dimensional energy of vortex rings by modelling their roll-up

The non-dimensional energy of starting vortex rings typically converges to values around 0.33 when they are created by a piston-cylinder or a bluff body translating at a constant speed. To explore the limits of the universality of this value and to analyse ...

Proof Of Concept Of A Graphene-Based Resonant Accelerometer

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Daniel Moreno Garcia

Acceleration measurements are fundamental in applications such as consumer electronics, navigation, automotive safety and Internet of things (IoT). In comparison with capacitive or piezoresistive MEMS accelerometers, resonant graphene accelerometers have t ...

Stabilization of the linearized water tank system

Shengquan Xiang

In this article we study the so-called water tank system. In this system, the behavior of water contained in a 1-D tank is modelled by Saint-Venant equations, with a scalar distributed control. It is well-known that the linearized systems around uniform st ...

Compressed sensing with signal averaging for improved sensitivity and motion artifact reduction in fluorine-19 MRI

Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert, Jérôme Yerly, Ruud van Heeswijk, Elena Najdenovska

Fluorine-19 (F-19) MRI of injected perfluorocarbon emulsions (PFCs) allows for the non-invasive quantification of inflammation and cell tracking, but suffers from a low signal-to-noise ratio and extended scan time. To address this limitation, we tested the ...

Gravity as a Reference for Estimating a Person's Height from Video

Pascal Fua, Helge Jochen Rhodin, Semih Günel, Didier Bieler

Estimating the metric height of a person from monocular imagery without additional assumptions is ill-posed. Existing solutions either require manual calibration of ground plane and camera geometry, special cameras, or reference objects of known size. We f ...

The use of body worn sensors for detecting the vibrations acting on the lower back in alpine ski racing

Kamiar Aminian, Benedikt Fasel

This study explored the use of body worn sensors to evaluate the vibrations that act on the human body in alpine ski racing from a general and a back overuse injury prevention perspective. In the course of a biomechanical field experiment, six male Europea ...

Optimizing the acceleration and resolution of three-dimensional fat image navigators for high-resolution motion correction at 7T

José Pedro Rebelo Ferreira Marques, Daniel Gallichan

PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of spatial resolution and parallel imaging acceleration factor on the quality of the motion estimates derived from image navigators with a three-dimensional (3D) gradient-recalled echo (GRE) acquisition with fat excitatio ...

A computational model for reference-frame synthesis with applications to motion perception

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke

As discovered by the Gestaltists, in particular by Duncker, we often perceive motion to be within a non-retinotopic reference frame. For example, the motion of a reflector on a bicycle appears to be circular, whereas, it traces out a cycloidal path with re ...

Shortening design time through multiplatform simulations with a portable OpenCL golden-model: the LDPC decoder case

Andreas Peter Burg, Paolo Ienne, Georgios Karakonstantis, David Novo Bruna, Madhura Purnaprajna

Hardware designers and engineers typically need to explore a multi-parametric design space in order to ﬁnd the best conﬁguration for their designs using simulations that can take weeks to months to complete. For example, designers of special purpose chips ...
