Long term defence planning is a complex undertaking involving many separate analytical steps and with non-trivial transitions from one step to the next. Many nations struggle with the challenge of establishing analytical rigour, structure and traceability in their defence planning processes. In this paper we will present a tool that has been developed not only to support defence planning, but w...

The Central Computing services at the Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA) [17] have deployed an instance of the JASIG Uportal [18] system for use by a student audience of around 22,000. To achieve the requirement of a homogenous experience for the end user required a transition to a more consistent and unified Single Sign-On (SSO) and Single Sign-Off interaction with the underlying diverse infrast...

The purpose of this study was to quantify real-world highway sign reading behavior while driving at night. Sign reading behavior was assessed using traditional self-report augmented by an in-vehicle eye tracking system. Good agreement was found between eye movement data (last-look distance) and verbal report measures of sign legibility distance (r = 0.9). Significant reductions in legibility di...

we give further results for perron-frobenius theory on the numericalrange of real matrices and some other results generalized from nonnegative matricesto real matrices. we indicate two techniques for establishing the main theorem ofperron and frobenius on the numerical range. in the rst method, we use acorresponding version of wielandt's lemma. the second technique involves graphtheory.

Indian Sign Language (ISL) or Indo-Pakistani Sign Language is possibly the prevalent sign language variety in South Asia used by at least several hundred deaf signers. It is different in the phonetics, grammar and syntax from other country’s sign languages. Since ISL got standardized only recently, there is very little research work that has happened in ISL recognition. Considering the challeng...

Speech perception in field of phonetics is widely studied with behavioural testing based on the notion of categorical perception. Recently signed languages are also being studied within phonetic framework. The experimental design presented within this research project aims for analogous study design parameters for both speech and sign.

PURPOSE To report the frequency and relationship of eyelid retraction, lid lag, lagophthalmos, and von Graefe's sign in a group of patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy and compare these findings to those in a group of normal individuals. DESIGN Retrospective comparative cohort study. PARTICIPANTS Fifty consecutive Graves' ophthalmopathy patients were compared to a control group of 50 normal...

This paper outlines a multidisciplinary research project in which computer vision techniques for the recognition and analysis of gestures and facial expressions from video are developed and applied to the processing of sign language in general and Finnish Sign Language in particular. This is a collaborative project between four project partners: Helsinki University of Technology, University of ...

DC-SIGN antagonists were designed combining one selective monovalent glycomimetic ligand with trivalent dendrons separated by a rigid core of controlled length. The design combines multiple multivalency effects to achieve inhibitors of HIV infection, which are active in nanomolar concentration.
