With the development of innovative applications that demand accurate environment information, for example, autonomous driving, sensing becomes an important requirement future wireless networks. To this end, integrated and communication (ISAC) provides a promising platform to exploit synergy between communication, where perceptive mobile networks (PMNs) were proposed add capability existing The ...

This paper addresses serial verb constructions (SVCs) in English and Mandarin. Although Mandarin and English is different in the total number of SVC types, three so-called SVC types are found to be common across English and Mandarin: purposive SVCs (e.g. go eat); causative SVCs (e.g. I made him laugh); perceptive SVCs (e.g. I saw him laugh). This paper has demonstrated typical SVCs have unique ...

Computer hardware has always changed rapidly, but input/output devices, interaction techniques, and software for human-computer interaction have not experienced similar growth and improvement. The GUI-based style of interaction has made computers simpler and easier to use, especially for office productivity applications where computers are used as tools to accomplish specific tasks. However, as...

In this paper, we propose a framework that provides software and robotic agents with the ability to ask approximate questions to each other in the context of heterogeneous ontologies and heterogeneous perceptive capabilities. The framework combines the use of logic-based techniques with ideas from approximate reasoning. Initial queries by an agent are transformed into approximate queries using ...

The Perceptive Workbench enables a spontaneous, natural, and unimpeded interface between the physical and virtual worlds. It uses vision-based methods for interaction that eliminate the need for wired input devices and wired tracking. Objects are recognized and tracked when placed on the display surface. Through the use of multiple light sources, the objectÕs 3D shape can be captured and insert...

Background: In eating disorders, a negative body image can be manifested in an overestimation of one’s own body dimensions (perceptive component), negative body-related thoughts and feelings (cognitive-affective component), and body avoidance and checking (behavioral component). Objective: This study examines whether these three components of a disturbed body image can be improved by means of a...
