The project focuses on the effects of visual delay on human controllers of remote artefacts. A review of the current literature has been carried out. A pilot experiment with thirty participants has been completed. The experiment consisted of a remotely controlled, wheeled vehicle being driven along a track towards a target. The vehicle had a video camera mounted on it from which images were sen...

Managing software maintenance is rarely a precise task due to uncertainties concerned with resources and services descriptions. Even when a well-established maintenance process is followed, the risk of delaying tasks remains if the new services are not precisely described or when resources change during process execution. Also, the delay of a task at an early process stage may represent a diffe...

Slow light has been extensively studied for applications ranging from optical delay lines to single photon quantum storage. Here, we show that the time delay of slow-light significantly improves the performance of the narrowband spectral filters needed to optically detect ultrasound from deep inside highly scattering tissue. We demonstrate this capability with a 9 cm thick tissue phantom, havin...

Most of the existing privacy-preserving techniques, such as k-anonymity methods, are designed for static data sets. As such, they cannot be applied to streaming data which are continuous, transient, and usually unbounded. Moreover, in streaming applications, there is a need to offer strong guarantees on the maximum allowed delay between incoming data and the corresponding anonymized output. To ...

INTRODUCTION To reduce the cost and time entailed in astronaut training and experiment execution, LifeScience Glovebox (LSG) experiments in the international space station should be teleoperated directly by scientists on the ground. However, the telecommunication time delay (up to 8 seconds) renders such move-and-wait teleoperation impractical. The objective of this project is to develop a tele...

This paper describes the modeling and performance evaluation of a seamless communication architecture, called EAPEC (Environment-Adaptive Personal Communications), for next generation wide-area mobile computing networks. The EAPEC lays its foundation on the 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project)-based all-IP network architecture and is implemented by adding functional components to the 3GP...

detecting microbial contamination of milk using novel engineering techniques is very worthy. in current study, microbial contamination of uht milk packages was detected using ultrasonic sensors. milk packages artificially were inoculated to e. coli in four dilutions and three replications. monitoring of ultrasonic properties was performed by measuring amplitude and time delay factors. artificia...

Port construction projects have complex work stages and high dependence on internal external conditions so that the emergence of risks can cause project delays is elevated. Therefore, it necessary to apply risk management identify overcome will come. This research uses Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method rank determine most dominant parameters for analysis. study shows there are 4 delay par...

Time, cost and quality have their proven importance as the prime measures for project success. However, the history of the construction industry worldwide is full of projects that were completed with significant time and cost overruns. This study is conducted to investigate the occurrence frequency of time overrun causes in road construction projects in the West Bank in Palestine from contracto...
