Augmented reality (AR) is a term for a live direct or indirect view of a physical real-world environment whose elements are merged with (or augmented by) computer-generated virtual imagery – creating a mixed reality. In the case of Augmented Reality, the augmentation is conventionally in real-time and in meaningful context with environmental elements. With the help of advanced Computer Vision t...

There are two types of network traffic in experimental environments. One is traffic which is derived from target elements and the other one is background traffic which is derived from surrounding elements. There is very little knowledge on the relationships between new elements and existing elements; therefore, surrounding elements that seem to have no apparent relationship with the target elem...

Discrete-event network simulation is widely used to rapidly design, evaluate, and validate new networking ideas as well as study the behavior of existing ones. It is characterized by complete control, absolute repeatability and ease of use while often sacrificing detail and realism to increase execution efficiency and the scale of models. Network Emulation is a hybrid approach that combines rea...

Let G be an algebraic group defined over a field k. We call g ∈ G real if g is conjugate to g−1 and g ∈ G(k) as k-real if g is real in G(k). An element g ∈ G is strongly real if ∃h ∈ G, h2 = 1 (i.e. h is an involution) such that hgh−1 = g−1. Clearly, strongly real elements are real and are product of two involutions. Let G be a connected adjoint semisimple group over a perfect field k, with −1 ...

     This study introduces a wearable in-shoe system for real-time monitoring and measurement of the plantar pressure distribution of the foot using eleven sensing elements. The sensing elements utilized in ShrewdShoe have been designed in an innovative way, they are based on a barometric pressure sensor covered with a silicon coating. The presented sensing element has great linearity up to 300...

Some years ago the author encountered an interesting paradox of network design. A symmetrical parametric band-pass filter of degree eighteen was required; its attenuation response and circuit schematic were as shown in Fig. 1. The first ladder realizations resulted in two negative inductance values and it was found that neither the opencircuit impedance nor the short circuit admittance was posi...
