Location Fingerprinting (LF) is a promising location technique for many awareness applications in pervasive computing. However, as research on LF systems goes beyond basic methods there is an increasing need for better comparison of proposed LF systems. Developers of LF systems are also lacking good frameworks for understanding different options when building LF systems. This paper proposes a t...

E-Methnds for .,aflving linear Volterra integral equatitms of the first kind with smot~th kernels are considered. E-MethotL~ are a new type of numerical algorithms computing numerical approximations together with mathematically guaranteed do.~ error I~amds, The basic concepts from verifi~ttion thet~ry are sketched and such ~lf-validating numerics derived. O~mputati~mal experiments show the effi...

This paper describes use of negative examples in training the HVS semantic model. We present a novel initialization of the lexical model using negative examples extracted automatically from a semantic corpus as well as description of an algorithm for extraction these examples. We evaluated the use of negative examples on a closed domain human-human train timetable dialogue corpus. We significan...

We solve the Kato problem for divergence form elliptic operators whose heat kernels satisfy a pointwise Gaussian upper bound. More precisely, given the Gaussian hypothesis, we establish that the domain of the square root of a complex uniformly elliptic operator L = −div(A∇) with bounded measurable coefficients in Rn is the Sobolev space H1(Rn) in any dimension with the estimate ‖ √ Lf‖2 ∼ ‖∇f‖2...

This study evaluated the influence of cooking methods (blanching, pan-frying, and microwaving) on the antioxidant activity of Ligularia fischeri (LF) using myoglobin methods against five different reactive oxygen species (ROS) (i.e., 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hypochlorite ions, hydroxyl radicals, peroxyl radicals, and peroxynitrite ions). With respect to DPPH scavenging activity, th...
