This paper describes some preliminary results of our ongoing project on digital mirror interfaces. Regular mirrors reflect ambient light from the scene towards the observer. Digital mirrors capture the ambient light with a camera, extract information about the scene, and display appropriate information to the user, combining real-time computer vision systems with realistic computer graphics. We...

When another person's actions are observed it appears that these actions are simulated, such that similar motor processes are triggered in the observer. Much evidence suggests that such simulation concerns the achievement of behavioural goals, such as grasping a particular object, and is less concerned with the specific nature of the action, such as the path the hand takes to reach the goal obj...

this study aimed to identify and rank the most important environmental factors for the popularity of recreational sports in iran. only those sensitive aspects of the environment to which recreational sports should react were considered in order to survive. this study was performed consecutively in two qualitative and quantitative phases by mixed heuristic method. for this purpose the experts of...

results the interobserver agreement for sonographic descriptors changed between fair and substantial. the highest agreement was detected for mass orientation (κ=0.66). the lowest agreement was found in the margin (κ=0.33). the interobserver agreement for bi-rads final category was found as fair (κ=0.35). the intraobserver agreement for sonographic descriptors changed between substantial and alm...

This paper introduces a novel framework for designing multiagent systems, called “Distributed Agent Evolution with Dynamic Adaptation to Local Unexpected Scenarios” (DAEDALUS). Traditional approaches to designing multi-agent systems are offline (in simulation), and assume the presence of a global observer. In the online (real world), there may be no global observer, performance feedback may be ...

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 ...
