Deep learning-based estimation of whole-body kinematics from multi-view images

Kien X. Nguyen, Liying Zheng, Ashley L. Hawke +4

It is necessary to analyze the whole-body kinematics (including joint locations and joint angles) to assess risks of fatal and musculoskeletal injuries in occupational tasks. Human…

A deep learning approach for lower back-pain risk prediction during manual lifting

Kristian Snyder, Brennan Thomas, Ming-Lun Lu +4

Occupationally-induced back pain is a leading cause of reduced productivity in industry. Detecting when a worker is lifting incorrectly and at increased risk of back injury present…

Automated Generation and Ensemble-Learned Matching of X-ray Absorption Spectra

Chen Zheng, Kiran Mathew, Chi Chen +9

We report the development of XASdb, a large database of computed reference X-ray absorption spectra (XAS), and a novel Ensemble-Learned Spectra IdEntification (ELSIE) algorithm for…

Gap Acceptance During Lane Changes by Large-Truck Drivers-An Image-Based Analysis

Kazutoshi Nobukawa, Shan Bao, David J. LeBlanc +3

This paper presents an analysis of rearward gap acceptance characteristics of drivers of large trucks in highway lane change scenarios. The range between the vehicles was inferred…

Approximate Negative-Binomial Confidence Intervals: Asbestos Fiber Counts

David Bartley, James Slaven, Martin Harper

The negative-binomial distribution is adopted for analyzing asbestos-fiber counts so as to account for both the sampling errors in capturing only a finite number of fibers as well…

Accelerated Evaluation of Automated Vehicles Safety in Lane Change Scenarios Based on Importance Sampling Techniques

Ding Zhao, Henry Lam, Huei Peng +4

Automated vehicles (AVs) must be evaluated thoroughly before their release and deployment. A widely-used evaluation approach is the Naturalistic-Field Operational Test (N-FOT), whi…

The torque on a dipole in uniform motion

David J. Griffiths, V. Hnizdo

We calculate the torque on an ideal (point) dipole moving with constant velocity through uniform electric and magnetic fields.

Mansuripur's Paradox

David J. Griffiths, V. Hnizdo

A recent article claims that the Lorentz force law is incompatible with special relativity. We discuss the "paradox" on which this claim is based. The resolution depends on whether…

Time-dependent fields of a current-carrying wire

D. V. Redzic, V. Hnizdo

The electric and magnetic fields of an infinite straight wire carrying a steady current which is turned on abruptly are determined using Jefimenko's equations, starting from the st…

Magnetic dipole moment of a moving electric dipole

V. Hnizdo

The current density of a moving electric dipole is expressed as the sum of polarization and magnetization currents. The magnetic field due to the latter current is that of a magnet…

Comment on `Electromagnetic force on a moving dipole'

V. Hnizdo

Using the Lagrangian formalism, the electromagnetic force on a moving dipole derived by Kholmetskii, Missevitch and Yarman (2011, Eur. J. Phys. 32, 873) is found to be missing some…

Spin-orbit coupling and the conservation of angular momentum

V. Hnizdo

In nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, the total (i.e. orbital plus spin) angular momentum of a charged particle with spin that moves in a Coulomb plus spin-orbit-coupling potential…

Generalized second-order partial derivatives of 1/r

V Hnizdo

The generalized second-order partial derivatives of 1/r, where r is the radial distance in 3D, are obtained using a result of the potential theory of classical analysis. Some non-s…

Comment on "Preacceleration without radiation: The nonexistence of preradiation phenomenon," by J.A. Heras [Am. J. Phys. 74, 1025 (2006)]

V. Hnizdo

It is argued that a recent claim that there is no radiation in the preacceleration part of a non-runaway solution of the Abraham--Lorentz equation is incorrect.

Comment on `About the magnetic field of a finite wire'

V. Hnizdo

A flaw is pointed out in the justification given by Charitat and Graner [2003 Eur. J. Phys. vol. 24, 267] for the use of the Biot--Savart law in the calculation of the magnetic fie…

Comment on 'Self-dressing and radiation reaction in classical electrodynamics'

V. Hnizdo

Using the canonical formalism, Compagno and Persico [J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 35 (2002) 3629--45] have calculated the 'radiation-reaction' force on a uniform spherical charge moving…

On Bohr's response to the clock-in-the-box thought experiment of Einstein

V. Hnizdo

The recent analysis of De la Torre, Daleo and Garcia-Mata of the reply of Bohr to the famous clock-in-the-box challenge of Einstein is criticized.

The electromagnetic self-force on a charged spherical body slowly undergoing a small, temporary displacement from a position of rest

V. Hnizdo

The self-force of classical electrodynamics on a charged "rigid" body of radius R is evaluated analytically for the body undergoing a slow (i.e., with a speed v<<c), slight (i.e.,…
