Mobile Peer-to-Peer (P2P) computing applications involve collections of heterogeneous and resource-limited devices (such as PDAs or embedded sensor-actuator systems), typically operated in ad-hoc completely decentralized networks and without requiring dedicated infrastructure support. Short-range wireless communication technologies together with P2P networking capabilities on mobile devices are...

background: in our competing educational world, students spend a considerable part of their daily life, studying at library furniture. not surprisingly, due to lack of proper anthropometric databases, these products have typically been ill fitted for the intended user populations. objective: to verify the optimum anthropometric match of library furniture within an academic environment, through ...

In Spain, the COVID-19 confinement was carried out in spring of 2020. All non-essential activities were temporarily suspended. This brought with it adaptation to home office (telework), still emerging Europe, and more Spain. Although response general has been positive, conditions which families have subjected telework cannot be considered normal. this context, an online survey requested find ex...

Three child fall issues have been selected by VISU for special focus because of the major contribution they make to serious fall injury, and their preventability: (1) playground equipment fall injury (26% of fall injury hospital admissions); (2) furniture-related fall injury: chairs, beds, tables and other furniture (11%); and (3) fall injury involving ice skates, skis, roller skates, skateboar...

a quarantine hospital. The room occupied by the feverpatient was in a dirty condition, and was almost destitute of furniture. The patient lay on a dilapidated bed, with old bags for bed-clothing; an old table and one or two ricketty chairs completed the furniture of the room.

This short paper outlines research results on object classification in images of Neoclassical furniture. The motivation was to provide an object recognition framework which is able to support the alignment of furniture images with a symbolic level model. A data-driven bottom-up research routine in the Neoclassica research framework is the main use-case. It strives to deliver tools for analyzing...

Experiment 1 (2.5 yr olds): Experimenter pointed to object in the model and ask children to find the matching object in the room. the furniture and arrangement were similar in the room and model model was aligned in same orientation as the room experimenter introduced each piece of furniture and showed the child the correspondence between the two, holding each miniature next to its larger count...

The heat treatment of softwood (i.e. spruce, pine, fir, and larch) may result in significant colour changes. During this study Scots pine and spruce samples were steamed and analysed for their altered hue and lightness. Treatments included: 0 to 22 days of steaming time at a temperature range of 70 to 100°C. The outcome included a variety of colours between the initial hues and brownish tint. T...

Rich Internet Applications provide users with facilities in web applications that are similar to desktop applications. This class of applications imposes new challenges on software design. In this paper, we propose a new method for designing rich internet applications. The design process uses results from an objectoriented analysis and employs interaction spaces as the basic abstraction mechani...
