Numerous studies have shown that concurrent transmissions can help to boost wireless networkperformance despite the possibility of packet collisions. However, while these works provide empiricalevidence that concurrent transmissions may be received reliably, existing signal capture models onlypartially explain the root causes of this phenomenon. We present a comprehensive mathem...

The important roles of after school care programs are protecting the lives of students whose parents are working or unable to be at home after they finish school or on school holidays and helping them create self independence. We propose a learning support system for helping after school care students. The system is used for practicing the “Kuku” multiplication table and it has been implemented...

Motion capture (MOCAP) data clips can be visualized as a sequence of densely spaced curves, defining the joint angles of the articulated figure, over a specified period of time. Current research has focussed on frequency and time domain techniques to edit these curves, preserving the original qualities of the motion yet making it reusable in different spatio-temporal situations. We refine Guo e...

We present an approach to model articulated human movements and to analyse their behavioural semantics. First, we describe a novel dynamic and behavioural model that uses movements, a sequence of consecutive poses, from motion captured video data to establish priors for both tracking and behavioural analysis. Second, using that model, we show how we can both learn and subsequently recognise hum...

Recent advances in the study of the p−d radiative and μ−3He weak capture processes are presented and discussed. The three-nucleon bound and scattering states are obtained using the correlated-hyperspherical-harmonics method, with realistic Hamiltonians consisting of the Argonne v14 or Argonne v18 two-nucleon and Tucson-Melbourne or Urbana IX three-nucleon interactions. The electromagnetic and w...

Background: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is an acute viral zoonotic disease, with a mortality rate of 30-50%. There is no approved vaccine or any specific antiviral treatment for CCHF; therefore, the rapid diagnosis seems to be crucial for both efficient supportive therapy and control of infection spread. In this study, the potency of recombinant nucleoprotein of virus expressed in pr...
