Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) is currently one of the important research and development areas, where software engineering aspects play a significant role. The goal of AAL solutions is to apply ambient intelligence technologies to enable people with specific needs to continue to live in their preferred environments. This paper presents an approach and several evaluations for emergency monitorin...

Background: One of the most urgent issues following the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (FDNPP) was the remediation of the land, in particular, for residential area contaminated by the radioactive materials discharged. In this study, the effect of decontamination on reduction of ambient dose equivalent outdoors and indoors was evaluated. The latter is essential for residen...

Ambient Intelligence emerged more than two decades ago, with the exciting promise of technologically empowered environments that would be everywhere, cater to all our needs, be constantly available, know who we are and what we like, and allow us to make explicit requests using natural means instead of the traditional mouse and keyboard. At a time in which this technological unravelling was expe...

Find loads of the ambient findability what we find changes who we become book catalogues in this site as the choice of you visiting this page. You can also join to the website book library that will show you numerous books from any types. Literature, science, politics, and many more catalogues are presented to offer you the best book to find. The book that really makes you feels satisfied. Or t...

We study the definition of a general abstract notion of barbed bisimilarity for reactive systems on bigraphs. More precisely, given a bigraphical reactive system, we define the corresponding barbs from the contextual labels given by the IPO construction, in a general and systematic way. These barbs correspond to observe which names on the interface are actually involved in reactions (and how). ...

We present a translation of the mobile ambients without communication and replication into P systems with mobile membranes. We introduce a set of developmental rules over membranes, and describe the correspondence between the behaviour of an ambient and the evolution of the its translated membrane system. We give an operational correspondence result between the mobile ambients and P systems. So...

For large particles, the tail of the pulse is relatively long, and if a smaller particle passes through the sensor volume while the tail still elevates the detector voltage, the smaller particle may produce a pulse that exceeds the counting threshold for large particles . . . Because small particles in ambient air are much more numerous than large particles, it is the small particle concentrati...

Cantonese speakers were asked to identify spoken words as one of six Cantonese words differing only in tone. Words were presented in three modes: auditory-visual (AV), auditory only (AO), and visual only (VO). Performance was equivalent in the AO and AV conditions there was no augmentation of auditory tone perception when visual information was added. Nevertheless, performance in the VO conditi...

ICT can advance the learning process by making it faster, cheaper, and wider reaching that was not possible before. This form of learning can be treated as an interactive one among many and supporting the improvement of this process is expected to produce better result. However, innovative processes have to be incorporated both in terms of pedagogy and technology. Pedagogy should be universal a...
