Since the popularity of internet and new communication technologies, the issue of information sharing has become a matter of debate. In digital world, distances are meaningless and Information could be transferred to different parts of the world in few seconds. In this paper we discuss the effect of new technologies on licensed information and copyright law. We take this position that in modern...

This paper focuses on an unsettling example of experimental labour - the Human Landing Catch (HLC). The HLC is a cheap and reliable technique to produce data on mosquito densities in a defined area. It requires only a human volunteer to sit over night with his legs exposed, a headlamp to spot mosquitoes, and a rubber tube and plastic cup to catch them as they come to feed on him. The HLC formed...

Time-series prediction has been a very well researched topic in recent studies. Some popular approaches to this problem are the traditional statistical methods e.g. multiple linear regression and moving average, and neural network with the Multi Layer Perceptron which has shown its supremacy in time-series prediction. In this study, we used a different approach based on evolving clustering algo...

This paper compares three different methods capable of estimating the deflection of the vertical (DoV): one is based on the joint use of high precision spirit leveling and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), a second uses astro-geodetic measurements and the third gravimetric geoid models. The working data sets refer to the geodetic International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) co-loc...

The present paper proposes a novel way of extracting local texture features based on the Morphological Primitive Patterns with grain components (MPP-g) on texton based Local Directional Pattern (LDP) for effective stone texture classification. To reduce the dimensionality, the proposed research used Integrated Logical Compact LDP with OR operation on Textons (ILCLDP-T). Mathematical Morphology ...
