This paper introduces Age Invaders (AI), a novel interactive inter-generation social-physical game which allows the elderly to play harmoniously together with children in physical space while parents can participate in the game play in real time remotely through the internet.

During the testing of microsystems, one has to cope with many problems resulting from inaccessibility, different technologies, and nonelectrical failure modes. A number of mixed-signal test techniques have been applied to test a new advanced microsystem. The choices on testing are directly dependent on implementation form and application area of the microsystem. Mixed-signal testing approaches ...

In this paper we describe the process of redesigning a mobile outdoor mixed reality game. We introduce the design and concept of the first prototype and present the guidelines resulting from the first evaluation phase. The final section describes the redesign of the game based on these guidelines and patterns for game design.

A detailed analysis is made of lineup models for eyewitness identification. Previous treatments of eyewitness identification have nol distinguished between the all-suspecl model and the single-suspect model. The single-suspect model allows for the occurrence of foil identifications, a know n-error category, whereas the all-suspect model does not. A Bayesian analysis of posterior probabilities o...

Mixed-model assembly systems (MMASs) have been well recognized for their ability to handle product variety for mass customization. With multiple products to produce, the prioritization of maintenance work-order becomes more crucial and challenging. This paper develops a quantitative method to systemccepted 21 December 2012 vailable online 4 February 2013

We define generalized Milnor K-groups known as mixed K-groups and give explicit descriptions of these groups in simple cases. Our main result is a generalization of the theorem of Bass and Tate that the Milnor K-groups KM n (k) are uniquely divisible when k is algebraically closed and n ≥ 2.

the transesterification process of trimethylphosphate with ethanol and isopropanol is examined. it is found that the reaction does not proceed in the absence of base even at temperature up to 100°c, whereas in the presence of sodium alkoxide as a catalyst it takes place at room temperature leading to a mixture of mono-,bi-, tri-substitute esters as well as the minor by-products resulting from t...

the fluid flow and heat transfer in lid-driven enclosures filled with cu-water nanofluid is numerically investigated. the moving vertical walls of the enclosure  are maintained in a constant temperature, while the horizontal walls are insulated. the hybrid scheme is used to discretize the convection terms and simpler algorithm is adopted to couple the velocity field and pressure in the momentum...
