Truck acceleration behavior study and acceleration lane length recommendations for metered on-ramps
Abstract This paper investigated the actual truck acceleration capability at metered on-ramps. Truck acceleration performance data were collected through a video-based data collection method. A piecewise constant acceleration model was employed to...

Inspiratory muscle weakness in patients with Chagas heart disease: Echocardiographic and functional predictors
Abstract Background Patients with Chagas heart disease (CHD) usually present progressive fatigue and dyspnea. The inspiratory muscle weakness (IMW) may be a marker of exercise intolerance during disease progression. However, the...

Detection and prediction of osteoarthritis in knee and hand joints based on the X-ray image analysis
Abstract Current assessment of osteoarthritis (OA) is primary based on visual grading of joint space narrowing and osteophytes present on radiographs. The approach is observer-dependent, not sensitive enough for the detection of the early stages of...

Sandblasting and fibronectin-derived peptide immobilization on titanium surface increase adhesion and differentiation of osteoblast-like cells (MC3T3-E1)
Abstract Background/purpose Various chemical titanium (Ti) surface modifications have been reported for enhancing cellular activities that promote early osseointegration. The purpose of this study was to determine if sandblasted Ti ...

Experimental investigation into vibro-acoustic emission signal processing techniques to quantify leak flow rate in plastic water distribution pipes
Abstract Leakage from water distribution pipes is a problem worldwide, and are commonly detected using the Vibro-Acoustic Emission (VAE) produced by the leak. The ability to quantify leak flow rate using VAE would have economic and operational...

Long-term treatment with odanacatib maintains normal trabecular biomechanical properties in ovariectomized adult monkeys as demonstrated by micro-CT-based finite element analysis
Abstract The cathepsin K inhibitor odanacatib (ODN) is a potent and reversible inhibitor of osteoclastic resorption activity. This drug is currently under development for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Previously, we described data on ...

Workflows and individual differences during visually guided routine tasks in a road traffic management control room
Abstract Road traffic control rooms rely on human operators to monitor and interact with information presented on multiple displays. Past studies have found inconsistent use of available visual information sources in such settings across different...
