Several works deal with 3D data in SLAM problem but many of them are focused on short scale maps. In this paper, we propose a method that can be used for computing the 6DoF trajectory performed by a robot from…

Nowadays, the participation of females in exercise/ sport is unchallengeable. In addition, the established impacts of the above mentioned activities on females as well as on people in general are far too many. The present study, within the framework of…

This study aimed at evaluating motor abilities and anthropometric parameters in children aged 6-12 years and their interrelationships. One hundred fifty-two children underwent standard anthropometry (BMI, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, sum of five skinfolds) and motor fitness tests (standing long…

Equations to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) have recently been advocated over serum creatinine values as a means to more accurately assess kidney function. The Cockcroft-Gault (CG) equation requires a body weight parameter, whereas the Modification of Diet in…

An updated edition of the classic book on computer architecture by J. L. Hennessy and D. A. Patterson.
Authors show their high level standards for technological ideas, writing style, and teaching methodologies, all in one book. In fact, they maintain…

This paper derives unbalanced versions of the tests statistics for first order serial correlation and random individual e®ects summarized in Sosa Escudero and Bera (2001), and updates their xttest1 routine. The derived tests statistics should be useful for applied researchers…

Despite the importance of housing for people's well-being, there is little evidence on the causal impact of housing and housing improvement programs on health and welfare. In this paper, we help to fill this gap by investigating the impact of…

In this paper we study the distribution of the zeros of each function G_{n}(z)≡1+2^{z}+...+n^{z}, n≥2, which approaches the Riemann zeta function for Rez<-1, and is closely related to the solutions of the functional equations f(z)+f(2z)+...+f(nz)=0. We determine the density of…

The different transitions and reactions involved in the thermal processing of ternary EVA-PE-ADC mixtures, with different concentrations of polyethylene (PE) and azodicarbonamide (ADC), used as foaming agent, have been studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
The effect of…
