Introduction: Ambient temperature is considered as a factor affecting on the body's metabolism, So that increase or decrease ambient temperature to the range thermoneutral zone (TNZ) (This temperature is 20.3°C to 23°C for covered people) lead to body metabolic changes, and maybe effective on the increase or reduce the prevalence of obesity. Our aim of this study was to review ...

the relationship between trade liberalisation and the environment has been the subject of a growing body of literature in recent years. as can be seen from the differing assessment of instrument types for environmental protection, one of the important factors for the relationship between environmental protection and economic competitiveness are regulatory stringency and efficiency. this concern...

Optical triangulation based scanners have been widely used in industry, mainly for reverse engineering applications and freeform inspection tasks. Error contributions of these optical scanners include many influencing factors like surface quality and material properties of measurand, orientation and scan depth of sensors, ambient light changes, etc. This paper presents a performance evaluation ...

Nowadays harmonization of sanitary and hygienic standards of environmental quality with international standards is crucial part of integration of Russia into the international community. Harmonization of Russian and international ambient air quality standards may be realized by risk-based standards development. In this paper approaches to risk-based standards development and examples of these a...

This special section of Science of Computer Programming is devoted to papers selected from the 5 International Symposium on Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient Intelligence (UCAmI 2011), held in Riviera Maya, Mexico, 5–9 December 2011. UCAmI focuses on the Ambient Intelligence (AmI) research discipline, which represents a new generation of user-centred computing environments aiming to find new way...

This paper briefly outlines the scientific area that addresses Ambient Intelligence applications in which not only sensor data, but also knowledge from the human-directed sciences such as biomedical science, neuroscience, and psychological and social sciences is incorporated. This knowledge enables the environment to perform more in-depth, human-like analyses of the functioning of the observed ...
