A typical application field of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is the collection of environmental data, which is sent to a base station. Routing protocols are needed to efficiently direct the information flows to the base station. Since sensor nodes have strict energy constraints, data gathering and communication schemes for WSNs need to be designed for an efficient utilization of the available...

This paper discusses two data mining tasks to cope with the challenge of an increasing availability of high-resolution, individual-based motion data in Geography. First, techniques for motion patterns detection are presented adopting a ‘retrieval by content’ approach. Second, lifeline similarity measures are proposed as a means for ‘descriptive modelling’.

A total of 252 public sector doctors have been asked by the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) to provide written explanations on potential charges of dereliction of duty and ‘refusing to attend to life-threatening emergencies’ following the country-wide wildcat doctor strike last year. They will have to live with the unknown until the second half of next year, when case-by-case...

One of the main protective equipment used to prevent falls is lifeline. However, at construction site, this deficient in visual identification, as there a lack information on how use it properly. The purpose study create device for guidance lifeline construction. As research method, literature review was initially performed. In second moment, technical visit made company. last step consisted da...
