Due the limited battery life and wireless network bandwidth limitations, compact and fast (but also accurate) representations of image features are important for multimedia applications running on mobile devices. The main purpose of this work is to analyze the behavior of techniques for image feature extraction on mobile devices by considering the triple trade-off problem regarding effectivenes...

The mobile Internet is set to become ubiquitous with the deployment of various wireless technologies. When heterogeneous wireless networks overlap in coverage, a mobile terminal can potentially use multiple wireless interfaces simultaneously. In this paper, we motivate the advantages of simultaneous use of multiple interfaces and present a network layer architecture that supports diverse multia...

this study was carried out to determine the effects of gamma irradiation on dry matter (dm) and on crude protein (cp) degradation of rapeseed meal, using nylon bags and sds-page techniques. ruminal nylon bags of either untreated or irradiated rapeseed meal at doses of 25, 50 and 75 kgy were suspended in the rumen of four non-lactating holstein cows for up to 48 h. intestinal crude protein diges...

The mobile nylon bag technique (MNBT) may offer a simple, rapid means for assessing ileal AA digestibility of pig feed ingredients. In the present study, the effects of washing bags recovered from digesta, the amount and fineness of feeds, and feed trypsin inhibitor activity on apparent ileal digestibilities (AID) of CP and AA were determined with the MNBT. Twenty-four ileorectal anastomosed pi...

Abstract Total collection of faeces is considered the golden standard for estimating apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) in horses. However, evaluation individual feedstuffs limited and determination nutrient different segments gastrointestinal (GIT) excluded. The rationale performing this study was that mobile bag technique (MBT) can provide information on feedstuffs' degradation, use fi...

This study addresses everyday human practices in order to inform our thinking around the design of technology to support human mobility and mobile device use. Building on traditional ethnographic techniques, we investigated the contents of people's bags, seeking traces of planning, decision making and other social practices that people rely on to construct and maintain relations between particu...

This study examined the use of voice recognition technology in perioperative services (Periop) to enable Periop staff to record workflow milestones using mobile technology. The use of mobile technology to improve patient flow and quality of care could be facilitated if such voice recognition technology could be made robust. The goal of this experiment was to allow the Periop staff to provide ca...
