Information delivery and sharing are vital for survival during and following a disaster. Information and communication technology (ICT) is supposed to support these processes effectively. To promote information delivery and sharing, the primary actors in charge of conducting a disaster relief operation at all levels of government have invested in developing a supposedly disaster-proof communica...

This paper describes a plan-recognition program built to explore the theory of endorsements (Cohen, 1983). The program evaluates alternative interpretations of user actions and reasons about which are the most likely explanation of the user's intentions. Uncertainty about the various alternatives was encoded in data structures called endorsements. The paper describes the workings of this progra...

Eighty-five young adults exposed to a cluster of peer suicides as adolescents completed measures of attitudes toward suicide, grief, and social support. Closeness to the peers lost to suicide was positively correlated with grief and the belief that suicide is not preventable, with grief further elevated in close individuals with high social support from friends. Overall, social support was rela...

Background data on the general environmental conditions, both human and geographical iS presented. Basic design principles are developed from this data and from general concepts which underly all university design. Implementation of these principles is discussed briefly and a zoning scheme is proposed. The program for the University is presented and graphic and photgraphic site data is given in...

Structure from Motion 3D reconstruction has become widely used in recent years in a number of fields such as industrial surface inspection, archeology, cultural heritage preservation and geomapping. A number of software solutions have been released using variations of this technique. In this paper we analyse the state of the art of these software applications, by comparing the resultant 3D mesh...

1. During influenza infections, most viral shedding occurs within a few days of illness onset. 2. Children may be more infectious than adults because they shed more virus. 3. The degree of viral shedding (infectiousness) correlates with symptoms and tympanic temperature.

Feature or interest points typically use information aggregation in 2D patches which does not remain stable at object boundaries when there is object motion against a significantly varying background. Level or iso-intensity curves are much more stable under such conditions, especially the longer ones. In this paper, we identify stable portions on long iso-curves and detect corners on them. Furt...
