Wearable computing will change the current paradigms of human-computer interaction. With heads-up displays, unobtrusive input devices, personal wireless local area networks, and a host of other context sensing and communication tools, wearable computing can provide the user with a portable augmented reality where many aspects of everyday life can be electronically assisted. This paper focuses o...

A 52 year-old, contact lens-wearing man presented with progressive right eye pain and redness for one month. He had been evaluated and treated for necrotizing scleritis by multiple eye care specialists prior to presentation. He underwent a complete systemic work-up for both autoimmune and infectious causes of scleritis, including a culture. The culture revealed heavy growth of Nocardia asteroid...

Homogenous thin foils of titanium with oxygen in interstitial solid solution covering the broad solubility range O h.c.p. Ti, were used to investigate sink-in and pile-up occurring during nanoindentation. The anisotropic response indent areas accurately analyzed atomic force microscopy. mechanical properties assessed using both Oliver&Pharr method a newer incorporating corrections for indenter ...

Urban built-up areas, where urbanization process takes place, represent well-developed areas in a city. The accurate and timely extraction of urban has fundamental role the comprehension management dynamics. are not only reflection expansion but also main space carrier social activities. Recent research attempted to integrate factor improve accuracy. However, existing methods based on nighttime...

The ability to detect people in domestic and unconstrained environments is crucial for every service robot. The knowledge where people are is required to perform several tasks such as navigation with dynamic obstacle avoidance and human-robot-interaction. In this paper we propose a people detection approach based on 3d data provided by a RGB-D camera. We introduce a novel 3d feature descriptor ...
