Grounded analysis of "Artivism: The Atrocity Prevention Pavilion,” Auschwitz Institute for Genocide Mass Atrocities’ 2019 Venice Biennale exhibition drawing from fieldwork, interviews, secondary research, this article explores why o...

We propose that freshwater calcite microbialites may represent an alternative trajectory toward a community ecology aggregate that achieves some of the biological functions perfected by macroorganismic communities. A distinctive assemblage of microbialites studied at Pavilion Lake, British Columbia, Canada, could be a prototypical example of this transitional stage of biological organization. T...

We developed the facial caricaturing robot "COOPER" that was exhibited at the Prototype Robot Exhibition of EXPO 2005, Aichi Japan during 11 days from Jun.9 to Jun.19. COOPER watches the face of a person seated at the chair, obtains facial images, and analyzes the images to extract 251 feature points to generate his facial line drawings with deformation. It is noted that the caricature was draw...

This paper presents a navigation framework which enables multiple mobile robots to attain individual goals, coordinate their actions and work safely and reliably in a highly dynamic environment. We give an overview of the framework architecture, its layering and the subsystems reactive obstacle avoidance, local path planning, global path planning, multi-robot planning and localization. The latt...

Abstract— In this paper, we study the effect on speaker identification (SI) system when speech data is recorded on two different sensors, a HP Pavilion third generation laptop and a Samsung mobile ( S3770K) both with built-in microphone in parallel in a closed room in noise free environment. The database contains 10 Hindi sentences (50-60 seconds speech) and one english sentence (7-8 seconds sp...

Introduction Australia is currently undergoing a change in the Casemix payment environment. This is the result of an agreement to move to a more nationally-consistent approach to activity-based funding (ABF) for services provided in public hospitals. ABF for acute inpatients will be based on the Australian Refined DRG Casemix system, which is derived from the coded clinical data from each hospi...
