MOVEMENT ANALYSIS [27 records]

English

Subject field(s)
  • Dactyloscopy
CONT

Factors that affect the appearance of a latent print include the pliability of skin, condition of skin, deposition pressure, lateral movement, matrix(substance coating the ridges), substrate(surface on which the print is deposited), and development method. An important part of the initial analysis is the determination of how these factors might affect the latent print.

CONT

It is well known that the pressure of deposition is an important parameter for the success of latent fingermark visualization; the higher the pressure the more fingermark material that is left. Therefore, for this indirect method, it was suggested that the female donors may have applied less force while depositing the fingermarks, due to the lighter weight of their hands compared to those of the male donors ...

CONT

The MCS system provides the primary tactical planning tool for the brigade. Supported by graphics decision support tools, including digital maps, aerial or satellite photos, dynamic 3D "flyover" view of the battlespace, and mobility analysis of the terrain, map overlays with intelligence and battle resources by unit. Commanders can quickly and clearly analyze different courses of action and take decisions based on thorough analysis of up-to-date situational assessment, various maneuver schemes, doctrine, and changes encountered during the course of action. Once detailed plan is determined, the MCS prepare and send warning operations orders, and related annexes. During the mission, the system provides automatic updates of friendly/enemy unit movement locations and battlefield geometry. As all information is maintained on the database, re-tasking of units is rapid and flexible. As an integrated part of the battle command systems, MCS receives information from external sources and updates those sources within predetermined operational plans. Such sources include intelligence, fire support, supply status and air operations requests.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
DEF

A remote-sensing term referring to the process of assigning different colours to different spectral bands.

CONT

The image processing consisted in generating intensity images and one coherence image. To facilitate their analysis and interpretation, a coloured composition has been created with the results. This composition is obtained by adding the coherence image in red, the average of both images phase intensities in green and the difference between these phase intensities in blue. As such, a high coherence level(value close to 1) appears in red and indicates a very good phase correlation between the two images, a consequence of the various mechanisms of radar signal scattering and of the lack of change which could affect the target. On the contrary, a weak coherence level(value tending to 0) appears in black and indicates a movement in these zones during the 24 hours interval which separated the two image shots. Lastly, the white spots correspond to areas with a strong radar signal backscattering i. e. with zones of hills or vegetation.

A therapy that combines work with the body and the mind to help people resolve their emotional problems and realize more of their potential for pleasure and joy in living.

CONT

Bioenergetic analysis, often called bioenergetic therapy or simply bioenergetics, is a form of mind/body psychotherapy, founded by Alexander Lowen MD, that examines personality in terms of the body and its energetic process. Respiration and metabolism energize our bodies. Movement and the production of sound are the ways in which we discharge energy. How much energy we have and how we utilize it determines our capacity to respond to life situations.

L’analyse bioénergétique dispose d’un ensemble de techniques de travail corporel dont des postures et des exercices permettant d'approfondir la respiration, de relâcher les tensions musculaires et d’améliorer la circulation énergétique. Le but de ces techniques est de permettre au client de s’abandonner aux mouvements involontaires, à la «vie du corps», ainsi qu’à l’expression des émotions qui accompagnent ce processus.

Is the HSB a special case? Is it possible to generalise the analysis of the HSB movement and to extend it to other organisations, or is this housing co-operative federation a very special case? It is the contention of this paper that the results are of general interest and with relevance for a wide range of organisations, especially those within the non-profit and voluntary sectors. Of course, it is not possible to, within the limits of this paper, to prove this. However, some indications in favour of this position will be put forward. This circumstantial evidence concern three other Swedish organisations-one a formally non-profit building company, one fund which collects money in order to support research for a cure against cancer, the third being the Union for asthmatics and allergics.
