This paper focuses on creating a 2D hydrodynamic model that is accurate enough for generating information about possible flood zones within urbanized areas. The complex urban area of Frýdek-Místek city was selected as a case study to simulate the extreme flood event which occurred in May 2010 (16.5 - 24.5). The model is based on high-resolution topographic data with spatial resolution of 1,4 m. The study used the new HEC-RAS ver.5 model developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for 2D flood simulations within the city. The simulations were performed on a 4 km reach of the Ostravice River. Overall, the inundated areas and the maximum water level were consistent with real measurements, and therefore we can claim that our 2D hydraulic model is realistically able to simulate water behaviour in highly urbanized areas. The average error in elevations was 10 cm (at the Frýdek-Místek water station) and the inundation area was overestimated by 9.7 % in the city park.","PeriodicalId":236366,"journal":{"name":"2018 1st International Cognitive Cities Conference (IC3)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123914525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, a survey instrument was utilized to find out the user experiences and their cross relationships within five dimensions, including interest, design, enjoyment, satisfaction and share. In this study, VR's pursuit of \"presence\" should be applied to a series of real experiences, and it can link the audiences, athletes or entertainment stars and reality show production team together. Also, it can achieve the goal of national fitness, and will blur the boundary of \"great entertainment\", create an immersive broadcast, and reflect its unique value.

The blood velocity on the ring finger was increased after LEDA stimulation, and it was approximately 1.7 times compared with and without the light stimulation.

Before reconstruction, the kidney region should be well segmented from each CT image. This paper presents a deep learning method to segment each kidney region roughly from the CT image as initial starting points to guide a contour tracking to refine its final boundaries. However, due to the higher radiation risk from CT, a patient cannot be scanned densely so that the resolution of CT images in the Z-axis is not good enough for 3D reconstruction; that is, the distance between layers is larger than 5mm. To tackle this problem, a novel interpolation method is proposed to enhance the reconstruction results not only from the cross-section view but also the longitudinal-section view. However, the two views are not well aligned. Then, before interpolation, an alignment scheme is proposed to register the two views well. After alignment, the fine-grained 3D structure of kidney can be well reconstructed from this set of CT images with a lower-resolution in the Z axis.","PeriodicalId":236366,"journal":{"name":"2018 1st International Cognitive Cities Conference (IC3)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122297267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
