Crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) is a multi-disciplinary approach to deterring criminal behavior design. CPTED strategies rely upon the influence on offender decisions that precede acts by affecting built, social, and administrative environment. We introduce an innovative technological tool, LookCrim application, based CPTED’s principles, assess characteristics of specific ...

reconfigurable instruction set processors allow customization for an application domain by extending the core instruction set architecture. extracting appropriate custom instructions is an important phase for implementing an application on a reconfigurable instruction set processor. a custom instruction (ci) is usually extracted from critical portions of applications and implemented on a reconf...

Kernel data analysis is now becoming standard in every application of data analysis and mining. Kernels are used to represent a mapping into a high-dimensional feature space, where an explicit form of the mapping is unknown. Contrary to this common understanding, we introduce an explicit mapping which we consider standard. The reason why we use this mapping is as follows. (1) the use of this ma...

The accurate display of high dynamic range images requires the application of complex tone mapping operators. These operators are computationally costly, which prevents their usage in interactive applications. We propose a general framework that delivers interactive performance to an important subclass of tone mapping operators, namely global tone mapping operators. The proposed framework consi...

A boson mapping of pair field operators is presented. The mapping preserves all hermiticity properties and the Poisson bracket relations between fields and momenta. The most practical application of the boson mapping is to field theories which exhibit bound states of pairs of fields. As a concrete application we consider, in the low energy limit, the Wick-Cutkosky model with equal mass for the ...

Application mapping is one of the key problems of Network-on-Chip (NoC) design. It maps the cores of application to the processing elements of the NoC topology. This paper presents a novel approach for NoC application mapping, which uses adaptive genetic algorithm (AGA) in the mapping. The proposed approach adaptively varies the probabilities of crossover and mutation operators in genetic algor...

An Internet mapping application is being introduced in conjunction with the release of the second version of the Community Health Status Indicators (CHSI) Report. The CHSI Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Analyst is an easy-to-use Web-based mapping application that provides new opportunities for the visualization, exploration, and understanding of the indicators. Indicators can be mapped an...
