RISValidation of Dynamic 3D MRI for Urodynamics Assessment Using an Anatomically Realistic In Vitro Model of the Bladder
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Lowery urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) affect a large majority of the aging population. 3D Dynamic MRI shows promise as a noninvasive diagnostic tool that can assess bladder anatomy and function (urodynamics) while overcoming ...
A Low Dimensional Dissimilarity Analysis of Unilateral and Bilateral Stroke Impacted Hand Trajectories
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we propose a quantitative approach based on identifying hand trajectory dissimilarities through the use of a multidimensional scaling (MDS) analysis. A highrate motion capture system is used to gather ...
A Stochastic Model for Wind Occurrence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Knowledge of wind occurrence in any location is a valuable input in most agricultural studies. A bivariate stochastic process is proposed here as a model of daily wind occurrence. Two wind variables have been considered: ...
IPE: Model for Management and Control of Furrow Irrigation in Real Time
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Infiltration parameter estimation (IPE) is a simulation model of furrow irrigation that allows us to estimate infiltration parameters in real time. The model calculates infiltration parameters from measured advance times ...
Water Delivery System Planning Considering Irrigation Simultaneity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Time should be considered in carrying out the design and management of demand irrigation distribution systems. In this paper, a method to characterize the pumping flow in demand pressurized systems throughout the day and ...
Demand Forecasting for Irrigation Water Distribution Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: One of the main problems in the management of large water supply and distribution systems is the forecasting of daily demand in order to schedule pumping effort and minimize costs. This paper examines methodologies for ...
Detection of Water Meter Under-Registration Using Statistical Algorithms
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Meter tampering is an important problem for utilities (both power and water distribution) to address because they represent an important loss of income. The authors’ group at the Electronic Technology Department of the ...
Description and Evaluation of Zigzag Furrow Irrigation in the Inter-Andean Valleys of Bolivia
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Surface irrigation is the main irrigation system used in the inter-Andean valleys of Bolivia. However, the region’s steep terrain precludes the use of conventional surface irrigation methods. Zigzag corrugated furrows, the ...
Adaptability of Mediterranean Agricultural Systems to Climate Change: The Example of the Sierra Mágina Olive-Growing Region (Andalusia, Spain). Part II: The Future
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he adaptability of olive-growing systems to climate change is studied in the Sierra Mágina region (Andalusia) using an interdisciplinary approach that evaluates and makes associations across climate, water resources, and ...
Adaptability of Mediterranean Agricultural Systems to Climate Change. The Example of the Sierra Mágina Olive-Growing Region (Andalusia, Spain). Part I: Past and Present
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his research focuses on the adaptability of olive-growing systems to climate change in the Sierra Mágina region of Andalusia. The authors combined a retrospective and prospective analysis, an interdisciplinary approach, ...
