Introduction Poisoning ofwildlife is a wide spread and major investigational, problem for wildlife law enforcement officers. Protected wildlife killed through pesticide misuse or environmental contamination is just as dead as if they were illegally killed with a gun. The impact on the population may, in fact, be greater because of secondary and even tertiary poisoning or impacts on breeding pot...

The role of gaze in interaction has been an area of increasing interest to the field of human-robot interaction. Mutual gaze, the pattern of behavior that arises when humans look directly at each other’s faces, sends important social cues and is a developmental precursor in humans to joint attention and language learning. In preparation for learning a computational model of mutual gaze, data fr...

When encrypted material is discovered during a digital investigation and the investigator cannot decrypt the material then s/he is faced with the problem of how to determine the evidential value of the material. This research is proposing a methodology of extracting probative value from the encrypted file of a hybrid cryptosystem. The methodology also incorporates a technique for locating the o...

Several hundred Wikipedia articles are deleted every day because they lack sufficient significance to be included in the encyclopedia. We collect a dataset of deleted articles and analyze them to determine whether or not the deletions were justified. We find evidence to support the hypothesis that many deletions are carried out correctly, but also find that a large number were done very quickly...

A 29 year old nulliparous woman was referred to the radiology department by her gynaecologist for a hysterosalpingogram. She had been trying unsuccessfully to conceive for 15 months. She had no medical, surgical, or gynaecological history. She had never been pregnant. Her body mass index was normal and she was a non-smoker. She described a regular 28 daymenstrual cycle, with periods—which were ...

The use of anthropomorphic avatars provides Internet users the opportunity and freedom to present their desired identity. As cyberspace becomes a heaven for deceptive behavior, human-computer interaction research will need to be carried out to study and understand these deceptive behaviors. The objective of this research is to investigate the behavior of deceivers and truthtellers in the cybers...

In this paper we look at streamless sets, recently investigated by Coquand and Spiwack [4]. A set is streamless if every stream over that set contain a duplicate. It is an open question in constructive mathematics whether the Cartesian product of two streamless sets is streamless. We look at some settings in which the Cartesian product of two streamless sets is indeed streamless; in particular,...

The need for human expertise in the development of a speech understanding system can be greatly reduced by the use of stochastic techniques. However corpus-based techniques require the annotation of large amounts of training data. Manual semantic annotation of such corpora is tedious, expensive, and subject to inconsistencies. This work investigates the influence of the training corpus size on ...
