The importance of research on new technologies that could be employed in care services for elderly and disabled persons is highlighted. Advantages of impulse-radar sensors, when applied for non-intrusive monitoring of such persons in their home environment, are indicated. Selected algorithms for the measurement data preprocessing – viz. the algorithms for clutter suppression and echo parameter ...

Increased lipid peroxidation and reduced glutathione levels in liver of rats fed high sucrose high fat (HSHF) diet were normalized by concomitant administration of (+)-catechin hydrate. Plasma non-enzymatic antioxidants viz. alpha-tocopherol, ascorbic acid and total thiols decrease were also significantly less in rats administered with (+)-catechin hydrate concomitantly with HSHF diet. Thus the...

Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have been implemented in almost every field, viz., science, technology, medicine and engineering as they have proved useful tools for obtaining the desired output including the analyses and shelf life prediction in case of food products. This review discusses the systematic information available in the literature concerning the implementation of ANN models for ...

In Boer et al. (viz. [9]) we argued that evaluation of draft legislation, change from an old to a new regime, harmonization of legislation from multiple jurisdictions, and the decision to move a good, person, or service over the borders of a jurisdiction, involves a process of integration and comparison of preference structures. This paper argues that legal norms are in many contexts best under...

The Red and the Real is aimed at understanding what kinds of properties the colors are. It offers two (compatible) answers. The first, whose elaboration and defense occupies Parts I and II, is that colors are relational properties — properties constituted in terms of relations to subjects and perceptual circumstances. The second, developed in Part III, is that the particular relational properti...

In this paper a technique is presented which improves the noise immunity of TSPC circuit. This technique is compared with other existing techniques. Analysis is carried out both for super and sub-threshold regions of operation. Investigations consider different performance criteria viz. n ooise immunity curve, power consumption, delay, average noise threshold energy (ANTE),

This paper presents a formalisation of two typical legal dialogue moves in a formal dialogue game for argumentation. The moves concern two ways of reinterpreting a general rule used in an argument, viz. by ‘unpacking’ and ‘refining’ the rule. The moves can be made not only by the user but also by the attacker of the rule, in order to reveal new ways to attack it. The new dialogue game is illust...

I PROPOSE to-night to describe certain works that have been undertaken by the City Council of Melbourne within the past five years, for the purpose of improving the sanitary state of the city, in the hope that the subject may be of some interest to the members of this Institute, affecting as it does the health and comfort of the citizens generally. I will first of all refer to the most expensiv...

Four known the with the unity of our knowledge whole possible, an into the idea invented as the twofold we, with the latter, Baumgart, 1867. Kehrbach, Kritique will develope limits. So much has to therefore, with concept. And time to adopt as problem is again so stronomy rest. There we under to general rule contents of this way as soon as I perceives it at any such a systems necessary refer to ...

We describe a small but non-trivial 3-agent-robotics scenario by two diierent methods, viz. resource-oriented deductive planning and logical berings. The ultimate aim is to nd a semantics for planning methods by means of berings. To this end, a comparison of the two methods is made and illustrated by the sample scenario, and the correspondences between the basic notions for both methods are cla...
