Acute hemodynamic responses to yoga exercise
… of trunk flexibility (sit-and-reach scores and inclinometer measurements) and arterial stiffness (carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity) were also compared. Yoga postures elicited significant increases in heart rate, blood pressure and cardiac output (P<0.05) for both groups. There was no …

Real-time monitoring of a multiple retrogressive landslide
… collected from the field monitoring of slope inclinometers, in place inclinometers (IPIs) and vibrating wire piezometers (VWPs) installed in a multiple retrogressive landslide are evaluated and re-interpreted. The goal of this research was to evaluate the IPIs in particular, as part of a …

An Observational study of changes in cervical inter-vertebral motion and the relationship with patient-reported outcomes in patients undergoing spinal manipulative therapy for neck pain.
… a cervical segment with a rigidly fitted digital inclinometer was rotated in the sagittal plane whilst being fluoroscopically imaged and QF results were compared for accuracy to that of the inclinometer. QF imaging sequences from ten subjects were analysed twice, six weeks apart, to assess …

Evaluation of image receptor angulation during mediolateral oblique positioning for optimised pressure and area distribution in mammography
… correct angle of the IR for MLO projection. An inclinometer was used to measure the sternal angle of phantom model used. Six sets of compressions were made on the breast phantom with the IR at different angles ranging from 400 to 700 at 50 angle increments. Contact pressure and contact area …

Intrinsic factors, performance and dynamic kinematics in optimisation of cycling biomechanics
… were taken with a standard goniometer (GM), an inclinometer (IM) and dynamic three dimensional motion capture (3DMC) using an eight camera motion capture system. Static and dynamic joint angles were compared over the three trials to assess repeatability of the measurements and differences …

Jellyfish Inspired Underwater Systems and Technologies
… hydrogel-based artificial mesoglea, and an inclinometer inspired by the jellyfish statocyst organ. Through multiple versions, the vehicle was able to attain an order of magnitude increase in proficiency from 0.022 s?? to 0.21 s?? and robustness not found in initial prototypes. A polyvinyl …

The Geology and Geohydrology of the Sunny Slide Area Mandan, North Dakota
… Seven subsurface holes were correlated with inclinometer data to enable lithologic descriptions of the zone of shear. </p> <p>The Cannonball Formation (Paleocene) is present, at the surface, throughout most of the area. The dominant lithology is poorly consolidated sandstone and mudstone. The …

ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF EXCAVATION SUPPORT SYSTEM IN SOFT CLAY
… about 30 m deep for adequate embedment. From the inclinometer data it was found that the point of maximum deflection is below the level of the excavation and that ground movement develops in a cumulative manner. Rate of movement varied from l. 5 to 7.0 mm/day during excavation and O to O. 5 …

Measured performance of slurry walls
… flows. The actual monitoring data always include inclinometer measurements of lateral deflections within the diaphragm wall and/or adjacent soil. However, other information such as surface settlements, building settlements, heave of the sub-grade or piezometric data were only archived for some of …
