Applications of underwater acoustics include sonar, communication, geophysical imaging, acoustical oceanography, and bioacoustics. Specialists typically work with little interdisciplinary interaction, the terminology they employ has evolved separately in each discipline, to point that transdisciplinary misunderstandings are common. Furthermore, increasing societal concern about possible detrime...

We introduce the idea of Assur graphs, a concept originally developed and exclusively employed in the literature of the kinematics community. The paper translates the terminology, questions, methods and conjectures from the kinematics terminology for one degree of freedom linkages to the terminology of Assur graphs as graphs with special properties in rigidity theory. Exploiting recent works in...

This paper describes an authoritative, non-proprietary information resource that provides an efficient mechanism for embedding specialized clinical knowledge into the design of healthcare telecommunications systems. The resource marries two types of data interchange standards, a message/electronic-document standard and a terminology standard. In technical terms, it is part protocol and part dat...
