Over the years a number of powerful people detectors have been proposed. While it is standard to test complete detectors on publicly available datasets, it is often unclear how the di erent components (e.g. features and classi ers) of the respective detectors compare. Therefore, this paper contributes a systematic comparison of the most prominent and successful people detectors. Based on this e...

In this paper we give a new approach to the concepts of glyph and character, applied to the study of the Unicode encoding. After a thorough discussion of these two concepts, we describe the other fundamental ingredients of the encoding: privileged glyphs, character descriptions, combining characters, and properties. In each case we try to show the importance of the given notion and at the same ...

In order to provide comfortable and safety life for every people in the world, information technologies will be useful in a rural area as well as in a metropolitan area. This paper proposes a new concept of Life Support Network (LSN) for elderly people living in a rural area. The network is a type of Intranet, which incorporates a safety confirmation system, a remote healthcare system, an emerg...

BACKGROUND Chronic diseases are now the leading cause of death and disability worldwide; this epidemic has been linked to rapid economic growth and urbanisation in developing countries. Understanding how characteristics of the physical, social, and economic environment affect behaviour in the light of these changes is key to identifying successful interventions to mitigate chronic disease risk....

This comparative study represents the dietary fiber awareness among the two selected areas of Bangladesh, especially urban & rural areas to detect the situation about knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) of dietary fiber. This study is conducted among 100 people of two areas and shows that knowledge about dietary fiber is higher among the respondents of urban (96%) than the respondents of ru...

Quality of life is intimately related to an individual's major life activities (Antonovsky, 1987). For many individuals, productive employment is of central importance. Unfortunately, people with disabilities confront many difficulties in finding or keeping work; with overall unemployment rates for this population as high as 50%, and as high as 60% for people with disabilities living in rural a...

Losses from the proton and antiproton beams of the Fermilab Tevatron have been shown to produce a halo which contribute to backgrounds to physics signals in the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF). To provide a measure of the beam halo and losses, we have installed arrays of scintillation counters on both sides of the CDF detector. We describe here the physical configuration of these counters, ...
