The thesis is based on implementing a child-centered design approach in the creation of a game authoring tool for children to be used in the classroom as one of their learning tools. Indeed, research in designing such educational software is primarily focused on the learning outcomes, but not on the usability. However, the usability of such software for children is a prerequisite for any learni...

Most existing person re-identification (re-id) methods require supervised model learning from a separate large set of pairwise labelled training data for every single camera pair. This significantly limits their scalability and usability in real-world large scale deployments with the need for performing re-id across many camera views. To address this scalability problem, we develop a novel deep...

In the last decade, increasing use of NanoSats and CubeSats has made re-entry capsule an emerging research field needing updates in configuration technology. particular, door to advancements terms efficiency re-usability been opened by introduction inflatable and/or deployable aerodynamic brakes on-board electronics for active control. Such technologies allow smaller sizes at launch, controlled...
