Children and adolescents have always been an important part of the future society country. Often, urban environment is subordinated adapted to families with children, playgrounds infrastructure. However, desire be out in society, public spaces participate social interaction not sufficiently supported. Public space a 'stage' for test themselves, their limits learn skills, as well explore norms c...

Untethered robots carry their own power supply in the form of a battery pack, which has crucial impact on robot’s performance. Although technologies are richly studied and optimized for applications such as electric vehicles, computers smartphones, they often mere afterthought design process robot system. This tutorial paper proposes criteria to evaluate suitability different robotic applicatio...

The goal of this introduction is to point out several similarities and differences between the research fields of multi-agent systems and social simulation. We show that these fields are complementary in several aspects, thus each one can benefit from results that emerge from the other. We finish the introduction by presenting and classifying the contributions in this volume. 1 Multi-Agent Syst...

Content-sharing platforms such as YouTube or MyVideo are experiencing huge user numbers that are still rising very quickly. Among the users there is a steadily growing share of children. In spite of this tendency the content of many popular videos is not suitable for children and should therefore not be shown to them. In this work we present an automatic method for determining a shared video's ...

A major research effort has been devoted over the years for the development of chemical sensors for the detection of chemical and explosive vapors. However, the deployment of such chemical sensors will require the use of multiple sensors (probably tens of sensors) in a sensor package to achieve selective detection. In order to keep the overall detector unit small, miniature sensors with suffici...

2015 The use of social media is tremendously increasing since years and will continue its growth. Recent examples show that social media can also be used to attract patients to clinical trials and improve recruitment rates. In addition, retention of the patient is increased. Social media help in designing clinical trials by obtaining early feedback from possible patients, informing patients abo...

A technique of combined general and topical anaesthesia is described involving spontaneous ventilation. Patients aged 46 to 76 were examined in this way for periods varying between 5 and 25 minutes. Carbon dioxide elimination was satisfactory in all but 2 of 18 patients, and these 2 are discussed in detail. Capillary oxygen tension was maintained at a level of over 75 mm. Hg throughout all 11 e...

A major objective of the 1995 Florida Panther (Puma concolor coryi) Recovery Plan is the establishment of 2 additional panther populations within the historic range. Our goal was to identify prospective sites for Florida panther reintroduction within the historic range based on quantitative landscape assessments. First, we delineated 86 panther home ranges using telemetry data collected from 19...
