The Effect of Traditional Chinese Exercises on Blood Pressure in Patients with Hypertension: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

In the context of the increasing number of patients with hypertension, exercise intervention is an excellent alternative or adjunctive treatment for hypertension. Traditional Chinese exercises are excellent physical and mental exercise methods. Although some studies have reviewed the effects of Chinese traditional exercise on patients with hypertension, most of the reviews only involved a single category of traditional exercise.

Preference-Driven Texture Modeling Through Interactive Generation and Search.

Data-driven texture modeling and rendering has pushed the limit of realism in haptics. However, the lack of haptic texture databases, difficulties of model interpolation and expansion, and the complexity of real textures prevent data-driven methods from capturing a large variety of textures and from customizing models to suit specific output hardware or user needs. This work proposes an interactive texture generation and search framework driven by user input.

Towards Multisensory Perception: Modeling and Rendering Sounds of Tool-Surface Interactions.

Touch-produced sounds in tool-surface interactions convey rich information about textured surface properties and provide direct feedback about how users interact with the surface. This article presents a statistical learning-based approach for modeling and rendering touch-produced sounds in real time. We apply a data-driven modeling method, which recreates highly realistic sounds using audio signals recorded from unconstrained tool-surface interactions.
