Conditional functional dependencies(CFDs) have recently been introduced as a novel approach for capturing the external consistency of relational data by comparing tuples. They define bindings of semantically related values that originate from flat domains. In real world applications often domains with multidimensional metadata have to be addressed and data are not only stored in relational data...

Potentialities of airborne minefield detection are nowadays investigated. Such approaches are based on the detection of minefield indicators on mono or multi-sensor airborne images. Most of the indicators will have to be located in vast area using high-resolution imagery. This leads to a tremendous amount of data to be interpreted. Hence semi-automatic detection techniques must be used to pre-f...

integration and collaboration as we meet the challenge of understanding the great complexity of biological systems. Ecological subdisciplines are rapidly combining and incorporating other biological, physical, mathematical, and sociological disciplines. The burgeoning base of theoretical and empirical work, made possible by new methods, technologies, and funding opportunities, is providing the ...

The emotional content of sound is greatly utilized in our everyday life, whether it is music or speech. Sounds which does not carry information by linguistic or musical harmonic patterns such as sounds that we hear in our everyday life, so called ecological sounds, conveys also information but in a more subtle way.
