stereotype is misunderstandings about people with personality, behavior, attitudes, competencies, and in connection with any group (gender, race, class, status, location) includes any type of cognitive stereotypes toward people and other groups, but misconceptions and inaccurate information contained on them. in other words, people may even have some limited information or ambiguous, in the pro...

An effective low-cost solution to determine characteristic features of objects from a simple infrared diode array, working on the reflection light scanner principle and using the fusion of amplitude information to detect and characterize objects, has been designed. Essentially, two arrays of several emitter-receiver pairs are mounted on opposite sides of the area of observation (e.g. a conveyer...

A simple yet remarkably powerful tool of selfish and malicious participants in a distributed system is “equivocation”: making conflicting statements to others. We present TrInc, a small, trusted component that combats equivocation in large, distributed systems. Consisting fundamentally of only a non-decreasing counter and a key, TrInc provides a new primitive: unique, once-in-alifetime attestat...

Individual conversion and personal salvation are stressed in some church circles, however, in the history of the Church there has always been a strong interest in the well-being and “conversion” of the community. Consider, for example, Paul’s approach to the Corinthians, and the analogy of the community as one “body” in chapter 12 of his letter to the Corinthians. We see this viewpoint emerging...

In this paper, we aim to monitor the flow of people in large public infrastructures. We propose an unsupervised methodology to cluster people flow patterns into the most typical and meaningful configurations. By processing 3D images from a network of depth cameras, we built a descriptor for the flow pattern. We define a data-irregularity measure that assesses how well each descriptor fits a dat...

This paper deals with the detection of arbitrary static objects in traffic scenes from monocular video using structure from motion. A camera in a moving vehicle observes the road course ahead. The camera translation in depth is known. Many structure from motion algorithms were proposed for detecting moving or nearby objects. However, detecting stationary distant obstacles in the focus of expans...
