Vibrotactile (vibratory tactile) displays have been reported as effective in enhancing awareness of flight attitude for pilots and releasing other heavily loaded sensory channels. Although some work has been done on vibrotactile coding of flight attitude, there is lack of a systematic investigation into coding methods with combination of multiple coding parameters. In this paper, seven coding m...

In recent decades, our attention is drawn to human-induced environmental changes and their potential threat to life on Earth through a growing number of mutagens and their effects on the biota. Genetic damage caused by these factors often have a durable effect that is manifested in later generations. The establishment of induced genetic damage in plants, animals and men is one of the most impor...

Alan Auerbach has given us a valuable paper loaded with new empirical research on the macroeconomics of fiscal policy. I agree with his basic conclusion that there is “little evidence that (the effects of discretionary fiscal policy) have provided a significant contribution to economic stabilization, if, in fact, they have worked in the right direction at all.” I, therefore, concur with his sup...

Car Logistics: The motivating case study is inspired by the operation of the sea port of Bremen, Germany. The port receives ships loaded with cars and has to organize their delivery. The operation of the system involves numerous entities (Ships, Cars, Gates, Landing Manager, Unloading Managers, Terminals, Treatment Areas, Delivery Managers, Delivery Gates, Trucks...), each responsible of specif...

We present a case study that exemplifies an extension of AWARE, a goal oriented requirement elicitation technique, for a collaborative document management system. The case concerns a multinational fast growing Management Consulting company. The system serves both marketing activities and actual work of the variegated consultant community. The system is loaded at “Zero-cost” by the consultants w...

Introduction If you toss two fair six-sided dice, you will get a number between 2 and 12. Although each die is fair, the sum is not: the probability of getting a 2 is 1 36 , while the probability of a 7 is 16 . Thus the question arises: Can unfair (or loaded) dice lead to a fair sum? The answer is no, as was shown by Honsberger [4], using elementary methods. A proof using generating functions i...

This paper presents a cache-aware Bloom Filter algorithm with improved cache behavior and a lower false positive rates compared to prior work. The algorithm relies on the power-of-two choice principle to provide a better distribution of set elements in a Blocked Bloom Filter. Instead of choosing a single block, we insert new elements into the least-loaded of two blocks to achieve a low false-po...

results upon the results from literature search, the researchers found that human is the main reservoir for this virus. there are four serotypes of virus. infection with one serotype cannot protect human against the other three serotypes. dengue fever begins suddenly with an onset of an influenza-like syndrome and sometimes progresses to severe form of the disease. treatment is supportive and i...
