Adverse childhood experiences, such as witnessing physical abuse, being physically abused, and observing alcohol and drug abuse at a young age, has a significant, negative impact on a child’s later life. The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) scale was created to measure how these negative experiences affect children and their later adjustment. ACE scores have been linked to future violence, l...

The surveillance area of a radar system is usually very huge and the observations are usually more than the real targets. Moreover, both non-maneuvering and maneuvering conditions are usually existed during the tracking process. The computation burden of a radar system is heavy to track multiple maneuvering targets in real time because of the complicated tracking environment. In order to reduce...

As articulated in chapter 7, crime scene evidence is likely to be the only data that a profiling investigator will have to work with when attempting to solve a crime. From these data, the investigator will have to make predictions about the characteristics of an unidentified perpetrator. In considering how to relate pieces of crime scene evidence to offender characteristics within a scientific ...

In this paper, a new fuzzy forgetting factor (FFF) is developed in order to aid a modified input estimation (MIE) technique and enhance its performance in tracking high maneuvering targets. The MIE has been introduced recently and succeeds in presenting reasonably accurate target trajectory, velocity and acceleration estimation in low and mild maneuvering situations. However, after some iterati...

In view of the lack dynamicity in a traditional fixed sensor system, an algorithm of tracking multiple maneuvering targets in a dynamic sensor system is proposed in this paper. The algorithm combines coordinate conversion logics and a multiple sensor data fusion for it to work in the dynamic sensor system. With the developed algorithm, the sensors can be installed in various tracking systems wh...
