The evaluation in technical invention is important because it tests functionality of the intervention and it forms an overall point of view of a user. This study aims to introduce an approach for collecting user expectations with Q methodology in Safe Private Home for Elderly Persons (CARE), which is a new development in ambient assisted living. CARE is a sophisticated fall detection system use...

In this paper we will present a general agglomeration law for sorting networks. Agglomeration is a common technique when designing parallel programmes to control the granularity of the computation thereby finding a better fit between the algorithm and the machine on which the algorithm runs. Usually this is done by grouping smaller tasks and computing them en bloc within one parallel process. I...

We present an algorithm to sort all suffixes of x = (x1, . . . , xn) ∈ Xn lexicographically, where X = {0, . . . , q−1}. Fast and efficient sorting of a large amount of data according to its suffix structure (suffix-sorting) is a useful technology in many fields of application, front-most in the field of Data Compression where it is used e.g. for the Burrows and Wheeler Transformation (BWT for ...

this research was conducted to determine the best temperature for storing different melon cultivars (ghasry, khaghany, tashkandy) and the best concentration and treatment length for immersion in an emulsion of sunflower oil and sodium bicarbonate. after harvest, precooling and sorting, the melons were treated with an emulsion of sunflower oil (3%, 5%) and sodium 2% sodium bicarbonate for 5 or 1...

introduction : coronary artery disease is one of the most dangerous health problems in developed and undeveloped countries. annually one million patients admitted in coronary care units in u.s.a due to ami and about 59 million people suffered from atherosclerosis. in europe 54% of c.c.u admissions is due to non q wave mi and 46% due to q wave mi. unfortunately there is no distinct statistic al ...

Let S be a set of n points moving on the real line. The kinetic sorting problem is to maintain a data structure on the set S that makes it possible to quickly generate a sorted list of the points in S, at any given time. We prove tight lower bounds for this problem, which show the following: with a subquadratic maintenance cost one cannot obtain any significant speed-up on the time needed to ge...

Typesetting sequences of numerical values, represented via symbolic names which get their values on the fly, is dealt with. The sorting of the sequence is done by a linear sorting algorithm, of complexity O(n2). Three or more consecutive numbers are typeset as a range. The objective was to encode typesetting sequences of numbers as simple,concise, general, compatible, modular, orthogonal, and :...

restricted to the dirty slices. It is almost the 2-dimensional mesh considered in Section 2. The diier-ence is that 2r + 2 leftmost and rightmost columns do not contain connections which correspond to Odd-Even Transposition Sort. Additionally, there are columns in the middle of the mesh that contain comparators implementing vertical comparisons in vertical slices. However, using Proposition 1.9...

This paper presents a computer vision based system for automatic detection and sorting of fruits. Detection is important because it is fully automated system, sometimes input to system may be other than fruit which is having same color and size as that of particular fruit. In this work we are capturing two images to make our system more accurate and cover maximum area of fruit. Image analysis i...
