In this paper, an automatic method of counting the passing people through the gate by using two space-time images is proposed. In the proposed method, the images are obtained in series by using a camera which is hung straight from the ceiling of the gate, so that the data of the passing people are not overlapped each other in the images. First, a spacetime image which includes the data of the p...

Ancient Greek literature gives us many relevant traces of the way people represented maritime spaces. Greek narratives endow these spaces with meaning and make them legible. Indeed, these testimonies are a significant contribution to our knowledge of the “odological” space at sea, a space of description including numerous cultural features rather than a space described. This space is based on e...

During experimental evaluations of RPL on a network with some 20 Zolertia Z1 motes running Contiki version 2.6, inconsistent Packet Delivery Ratios (PDR) and message latencies were frequently observed. Replacing ContikiMAC by NullRDC brought consistency, proving that the problem had to be found in the Radio Duty Cyling (RDC) protocol. Two implementation issues of ContikiMAC were found guilty. T...

In this paper, we consider the use of history of mathematics as a methodology in the teaching and learning of mathematics in Singapore, in particular at the polytechnic and junior college level. More specifically, we investigate how the history of mathematics can be integrated into the Singapore classroom via a spectrum of well-studied and time-tested lesson designs. In the ensuing discourse, w...

According to the working principle of A10VNO swashplate axial piston pump, output flow model an pump in ideal state and theoretical considering leakage distribution process are established. The pulsations odd even pumps simulated analyzed by Matlab, influence a closed dead angle mismatch port plate on pulsation is obtained. Based model, AMESim used establish overall leakage, oil compressibility...

OBJECTIVES The Dead Sea, the deepest and most saline lake on earth, has been known from biblical times for its healing properties. The aim of this systematic review was to present critically the level of evidence for the claims of therapeutic effects of Dead Sea treatments in several rheumatologic diseases and psoriasis as well as to review these treatments' safety. METHODS All articles cited...
