How does someone react when he faces a critical situation in his life? In this paper we present an initial initial implementation architecture based on a simulation model described in [10] In our model we mainly consider the interactions between a person concerned and factors like his environment and his own abilities. Using the empolis information access suite, we currently implement our model...

in the united states schools in the k12 school system, that provide education for primary, junior and senior high school students, are moving toward information systems to solve and automate some manual processes performed in these schools. with this movement, and the pressure on schools to use technology to improve student achievement, many schools are turning to learning management systems as...

this paper investigates the multi-band ofdm (mb-ofdm) based physical (phy) layer proposal for ieee 802.15.3a working group on short-range high data-rate ultra-wide-band (uwb) communications. an overview of the mb-ofdm phy layer architecture with its various parameters is presented and the optimal choice of critical parameters is discussed. next, we derive the theoretical un-coded bit error rate...

in this study the factors controlling the software colorimetry (photoshop), including illumination (direct and indirect), image background (white and black), camera settings (zoom, light, resolution and environmental conditions) and the conversion equations of r, g, b images to l *, a *, b *, compared with the results of the device were investigated and optimized. the results showed that the fa...

in this paper, a new algorithm for system identification based on frequency response is presented. in this method, given a set of magnitudes and phases of the system transfer function in a set of discrete frequencies, a system of linear equations is derived which has a unique and exact solution for the coefficients of the transfer function provided that the data is noise-free and the degrees of...

fuzzy segmentation is an effective way of segmenting out objects in images containing both random noise and varying illumination. in this paper, a modified method based on the comprehensive learning particle swarm optimization (clpso) is proposed for pixel classification in hsi color space by selecting a fuzzy classification system with minimum number of fuzzy rules and minimum number of incorr...

so far, various romanization schemes have been proposed for capturing persian text using latin alphabet. however, each have served a very specific and yet limited function. this paper proposes an extended romanization scheme that can facilitate a wide range of encoding needed in the field of natural language processing. the proposed scheme endeavors to preserve both orthographic and phonologica...

in this paper a robust road departure avoidance system based on a closed-loop driver decision estimator (dde) is presented. the main idea is that of incorporating the driver intent in the control of the vehicle. the driver decision estimator computes the vehicle look ahead lateral position based on the driver input and uses this position to establish the risk of road departure. to induce a risk...
