Body patterns in cephalopods

Pattern Recognition Letters, 2007
Here we overview the knowledge available on polyphenism in cephalopods: a peculiar characteristic of the behaviour of octopus, cuttlefish and squid. This is achieved through body patterning that is the mutable appearance of the skin of these species.

Mind‐Body Patterns of Symptom Generation

Family Process, 1989
Effective ways for joining family therapy with other treatment modalities are becoming increasingly important as the efficacy of family therapy gains acceptance in the medical and mental health community. When one interfaces family therapy with medical and psychopharmacological treatments, which find the sources of symptoms within individuals, rather ...

Alcohol Consumption Patterns and Body Weight

Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism, 2013
<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> The impact of alcohol on health depends on both the total amount ingested per week and the drinking pattern. Our goal was to assess the relationship between drinking occasions and anthropometric indicators of adiposity.

Can Body Fat Patterning Be Changed?

Acta Medica Scandinavica, 1987
ABSTRACT Short‐ and long‐term weight reduction programmes both resulted in a significant decrease in the waist/hip ratio (WHR) among obese premenopausal women. In matched groups of women with gynoid and android obesity, the latter demonstrated a greater decrease in WHR after 1 year's weight reduction and, at the same level of body weight loss, a ...

Tactile Pattern Recognition and Body Loci

Perception, 1973
Experimentation was conducted to compare tactile pattern recognition on three body loci—back, abdomen, and inner thigh. Five blind subjects, experienced users of a tactile vision substitution system which displays images picked up by a television camera through patterns of vibratory stimulation on the skin, were asked to identify letter images ...

Indoor On-body to Off-body Fading Mitigation Using Pattern Diversity

Wireless Personal Communications, 2016
Establishing a reliable communication link between on-body and off-body is a challenge in remote patient monitoring. Fading is very common in body area communications due to multi-path, body shadowing and inherent channel dynamicity. This paper investigates effectiveness of pattern diversity in the fading mitigation.

Body Mass Index and Menstrual Patterns in Dancers

Clinical Pediatrics, 2016
Questionnaires were distributed to investigate body mass index (BMI) and menstrual patterns in female dancers aged 12 to 17 years. The study cohort consisted of 105 dancers, mean age 14.8 ± 1.1 years, and mean BMI 19.5 ± 2.3 kg/m 2 . In all, 92% were healthy weight for height.

Body asymmetry and intellectual pattern

Personality and Individual Differences, 1994
Young men and women who had made self-inspections of direction of testicular-or breast-size asymmetry, were evaluated on a battery of cognitive tests. Tests were categorized as Masculine (generally performed better by men), Feminine (better by women), or Neutral (favouring neither).

Pattern-guided simulations of immersed rigid bodies

Proceedings of the 8th ACM SIGGRAPH Conference on Motion in Games, 2015
This paper proposes a pattern-guided framework for immersed rigid body simulations involving unsteady dynamics of a fully immersed or submerged rigid body in a still flow. Instead of the heavy computation of fluid-body coupling simulations, a novel framework considering different flow effects from the surrounding flow is constructed by parameter ...
