GPS-Based Evaluation of Activity Profiles in Elite Downhill Mountain Biking and the Influence of Course Type [PDF]
, 2013 This study aimed to profile the activity patterns of elite downhill (DH) mountain bikers during off-road descending, and to determine the influence of course types on activity patterns. Six male elite DH mountain bikers (age 20 ± 2 yrs; stature 178.8 ± 3.

Geomorphometric Analysis of Karst Terrains
, 2017 The availability of high-resolution digital elevation models (DEM) has increased the possibilities of geomorphometric analysis of karst terrains. Apart from the classical terrain parameters (distribution of elevations, slopes, orientations, curvature, etc.), there have been developments of new algorithms that expand further the possibilities of ...

Topographic slope correction for analysis of thermal infrared images [PDF]
A simple topographic slope correction using a linearized thermal model and assuming slopes less than about 20 degrees is presented. The correction can be used to analyzed individual thermal images or composite products such as temperature difference or ...

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Insect‐scale crawling robots can traverse confined environments; nevertheless, their functionalities are predominantly restricted to sensing because of challenges in integrating actuated degrees of freedom. Herein, a miniature rotary electrostatic clutch is presented by incorporating cutting patterns in the clutch layer.

Analysis of snow avalanche terrain
Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 1977 A multiple regression analysis has been performed of the average annual number of avalanches and terrain factors. Observations were made at 36 paths at Rogers Pass over a period of 9 years. The average slope inclination measured from the starting point to the beginning of the run-out zone and exposure to wind proved to be the most significant ...

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study presents a new sampling‐based model predictive control minimizing reverse Kullback‐Leibler divergence to quickly find a local optimum. In addition, a modified Nesterov's acceleration method is introduced for faster convergence. The method is effective for real‐time simulations and real‐world operability improvement on a force‐driven mobile ...

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Legged robots have advanced in environmental interaction through contact, but most works rely on fixed contact sequences. This work presents a new method based on an indirect optimization method for legged robots to automatically generate contact sequences for complex movements.
