Use of a biomechanical tongue model to predict the impact of tongue surgery on speech production [PDF]
Dans Proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Models and
Analysis of Vocal Emissions for Biomedical Applications - MAVEBA'2007,
Firenze : Italie (2007), 2008 This paper presents predictions of the consequences of tongue surgery on speech production. For this purpose, a 3D finite element model of the tongue is used that represents this articulator as a deformable structure in which tongue muscles anatomy is realistically described.

Hapi: A Robust Pseudo-3D Calibration-Free WiFi-based Indoor Localization System [PDF]
, 2018 In this paper, we present Hapi, a novel system that uses off-the-shelf standard WiFi to provide pseudo-3D indoor localization. It estimates the user's floor and her 2D location on that floor. Hapi is calibration-free, only requiring the building's floorplans and its WiFi APs' installation location for deployment.

Feeding Currents Generated by Upside Down Jellyfish [PDF]
arXiv, 2010 We present fluid dynamics videos of the pulsing dynamics and the resulting fluid flow generated by the upside down jellyfish, Cassiopea spp. Medusae of this genus are unusual in that they typically rest upside down on the ocean floor and pulse their bells to generate feeding currents, only swimming when significantly disturbed.

A Touch Enabled Hemodynamic and Metabolic Monitor
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work presents a touch‐based hybrid platform for simultaneous monitoring of vital signs and sweat metabolites. With a simple tri‐finger touch of 4–6 min, users can concurrently get to know their glucose, uric acid, cortisol levels from fingertip sweat, along with blood pressure and heart rate.

Polynomials involving the floor function [PDF]
Math. Scand. 76 (1995), no. 2, 194--200, 1995 Some identities are presented that generalize the formula x^3 = 3x floor(x floor(x)) - 3 floor(x) floor(x floor(x)) + floor(x)^3 + 3 frac(x) frac(x floor(x)) + frac(x)^3 to a representation of the product x_0x_1 ... x_{n-1}.

The Analysis of Facial Feature Deformation using Optical Flow Algorithm [PDF]
IJEECS, Vol. 15, No. 2, pp. 769-777 (2019), 2020 Facial features deformed according to the intended facial expression. Specific facial features are associated with specific facial expression, i.e. happy means the deformation of mouth. This paper presents the study of facial feature deformation for each facial expression by using an optical flow algorithm and segmented into three different regions of ...

US employment exposure to domestic and foreign tariff changes under NAFTA
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.Abstract Literature examining the effects of changes in trade agreements and import competition on US employment and wages has focused primarily on non‐agricultural industries and changes in US import tariffs. We propose a method for measuring worker exposure to changes in agricultural tariffs using a newly developed county‐level dataset of employment ...

The Bitter Taste of Brazil's Temporary Import Ban on Robusta Coffee
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Brazil, a leading Robusta coffee producer and exporter, faced a significant drought in 2016–2017, which drastically reduced production and depleted stocks. Consequently, Brazil temporarily permitted the import of one million 60‐kg bags of Robusta coffee in the spring 2017. An import ban was imposed shortly afterward due to lobbying by domestic
