But digital image processing generated size distribution of particles, while being fast and accurate, is often expressed in terms of area function or number of particles. In this paper, a mass model is developed which converts the image obtained size distribution to mass-wise distribution, mak- ing it readily comparable to mechanical sieving data. The concept of weight/particle ratio is introduced for mass reconstruction from 2D images of particle aggregates. Using this mass model, the effects of several particle shape parameters (such as major axis, minor axis, and equivalent diameter) on sieve-size of the particles is studied. It is shown that the sieve-size of a particle strongly depend upon the shape param- eters, 91% of its variation being explained by major axis, minor axis, bounding box length and equivalent diameter. Furthermore, minor axis gives an overall accurate estimate of particle sieve-size, error in mean size (D-50) being just 0.4%. However, sieve-size of smaller particles (〈20 ram) strongly depends upon the length of the smaller arm of the bounding box enclosing them and sieve-sizes of larger particles (〉20 mm) are highly correlated to their equivalent diameters. Multiple linear regression analysis has been used to generate overall mass-wise particle size distribution, considering the influences of all these shape parameters on particle sieve-size. Multiple linear regression generated overall mass-wise particle size distribution shows a strong correlation with sieve generated data. The adjusted R-square value of the regression analysis is found to be 99 percent (w.r,t cumulative frequency). The method proposed in this paper provides a time-efficient way of producing accurate (up to 99%) mass-wise PSD using digital image processing and it can be used effectively to renlace the mechanical sieving.展开更多

In acute, decompen- sated heart failure, ongoing assessment of urine output is required to adjust diuretic dosing in keeping with current recommendations for hospitalized patients, In patients with acute kidney injury, assessment of urine output is essential for diagnosis and management. The diagnosis of circulatory shock is supported by renal hypoperfusion as measured by low urine output. Indwelling urinary cathe- ters are routinely used for the "strict" monitoring of urine output, which is an accepted indication.展开更多

External fat-tail dimensions included upper, middle and lower width, length, length of gap, depth, upper and middle circumference recorded on 1,482 head of Lori-Bakhtiari lambs at 6 months. Of these about 311 lambs were slaughtered at the age of six months. Prediction equations were derived for fat-tail weight by multiple regression analyses with two methods. The results showed that the measure of middle circumference fat-tail was as most important measure in estimation of fat-tail weight. The measure of middle circumference fat-tail accounted for 76 percent of variation in fat-tail weight. The regression equations for predicting fat-tail weight using external fat-tail dimensions obtained from stepwise regression procedure can be estimated only with using from the lower width, length, middle circumference fat-tail and body weight with high acc, uracy (0.92). Average of fat-tail weight estimated in the age of six months in lambs was 2.39 kg. The highest regression coefficient of external fat-tail dimensions on fat-tail weight observed for the length of fat-tail (0.095 kg). Results of the present investigation showed that fat-tail weight in live sheep of Lori-Bakhtiari, could be estimated by measuring external fat-tail dimensions.展开更多

The present study included 45 Korean boys, of which 19 were normal-weight and 26 were overweight. Daily physical activity was estimated over the same 1-week study period under free-living conditions using the doubly labeled water(DLW) method and a tri-axial accelerometer. Resting metabolic rate(RMR) was measured using the Douglas bag method and open-circuit indirect calorimetry. We calculated the physical activity level(PAL) as the total energy expenditure(TEE)/RMR.Results: PAL was not significantly different between the groups. In the accelerometer data, time spent in locomotive moderate-to-vigorous physical activity(MVPA) was significantly lower in overweight boys than in normal-weight subjects, whereas other variables including non-locomotive activity did not differ between groups. In addition, among all participants, time spent in total locomotive activity was significantly associated with PAL. Time spent in locomotive MVPA was significantly associated with PAL.Conclusion: Overweight boys may be less physically active based on locomotive MVPA, which was positively related with PAL. Our findings suggest that the contribution of locomotive MVPA to the increase in PAL was relatively significant.展开更多

Using the microtremor data, velocity structures of shallow sediments are estimated and the results at some of the sites are reported preliminarily. We could not find the detailed velocity structure to bedrock, because small arrays for the microtremor observation were applied, However, significant structures are observed for shallow velocity structure at some sites. Furthermore, gravity data provided Bouguer anomaly, which is one of gravity anomalies, around the target area. From the Bouguer anomaly, area with low anomaly is tbund around the south-eastern area of the fault plane.展开更多

Based on this characteristic,small-medium changes could be detected by using coda wave interferometry. In recent years,coda wave interferometry has been widely used in estimating velocity variation with high precision in areas such as seismology and non-destructive testing. This paper systematically presents the principle and research status of coda wave interferometry,and especial focus is placed on the research of media velocity variations by using repeating earthquakes,artificial sources,and ambient noise. Applications of coda wave interferometry can contribute to the more subtle understanding of dynamic evolution process in the medium.展开更多
