The author reflects on the complexity of occupational therapy profession. Topics include interplay between things like physical performance capacities, learning theories, ergonomics and biomechanics, need for a holistic approach to reasoning in profession, relationships capacity, psychological processes socio-cultural environments.

Accurate intrusion detection still is an open challenge. Present work aims at being one step towards that purpose by studying the combination of clustering and visualization techniques. To do that, MOVICAB-IDS, previously proposed as a hybrid intelligent Intrusion Detection System (IDS) based on visualization techniques, is upgraded by adding automatic response thanks to clustering methods. To ...

Key assumptions, modeling structures and terminology were altered and refined to accommodate new thinking during the course of this study. The reader will observe in the appendices that the scenarios are referred to as " Scenarios 1, 2 and 3 " or " S1, S2 and S3. " In both the main text of the Final Report and in the Life Cycle Assessment appendix (Appendix 4), the former Scenario 1 (S1) was re...

This paper investigates local patterns in the multi-relational constraint-based data mining framework. Given this framework, it contributes to the theory of local patterns by providing the definition of local patterns, and a set of objective and subjective measures for evaluating the quality of induced patterns. These notions are illustrated on a description task of subgroup discovery, taking a...

Barcode detection is required in a wide range of real-life applications. Imaging conditions and techniques vary considerably and each application has its own requirements for detection speed and accuracy. In our earlier works we built barcode detectors using morphological operations and uniform partitioning with several approaches and showed their behaviour on a set of test images. In this work...
