Mathematical Modelling of Different Types of Body Support Surface for Pressure Ulcer Prevention [PDF]
Pressure ulcer is a common problem for today’s healthcare industry. It occurs due to external load applied to the skin. Also when the subject is immobile for a longer period of time and there is continuous load applied to a particular area of human body,

Investigations on tram-pedestrian impacts by application of virtual testing with human body models
Background In Austria around 100 trams are involved in accidents with pedestrians every year. Since the service lives of trams are very high, the probabilities are also high that each tram on the network will be involved in an accident of this kind at ...

Bayesian fusion of hidden Markov models for understanding bimanual movements [PDF]
Understanding hand and body gestures is a part of a wide spectrum of current research in computer vision and human-computer interaction. A part of this can be the recognition of movements in which the two hands move simultaneously to do something or ...

Tensor-Based Human Body Modeling [PDF]
In this paper, we present a novel approach to model 3D human body with variations on both human shape and pose, by exploring a tensor decomposition technique. 3D human body modeling is important for 3D reconstruction and animation of realistic human body, which can be widely used in Tele-presence and video game applications.

Physiological models of body composition and human obesity
Background The body mass index (BMI) is the standard parameter for predicting body fat fraction and for classifying degrees of obesity. Currently available regression equations between BMI and fat are based on 2 or 3 parameter empirical fits and have not

Simulation of human gait with body weight support: benchmarking models and unloading strategies
Background Gait training with partial body weight support (BWS) has become an established rehabilitation technique. Besides passive unloading mechanisms such as springs or counterweights, also active systems that allow rendering constant or modulated ...

Resveratrol given intraperitoneally does not inhibit the growth of high-risk t(4;11) acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells in a NOD/SCID mouse model. [PDF]
The efficacy of resveratrol as a preventive agent against the growth of t(4;11) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) was evaluated in NOD.CB17-Prkdcscid/J mice engrafted with the human t(4;11) ALL SEM cell line.

Human Skin, Oral, and Gut Microbiomes Predict Chronological Age. [PDF]
Human gut microbiomes are known to change with age, yet the relative value of human microbiomes across the body as predictors of age, and prediction robustness across populations is unknown. In this study, we tested the ability of the oral, gut, and skin
