As the device ecosystem in the intelligent environments becomes more complex, the need for supporting a wider range of devices becomes crucial. To address this challenge, this paper describes a framework, Imhotep, which can be used to develop mobile applications, easily adapting them to the constraints imposed by the user and device capabilities through a set of preprocessor directives. These d...

A similar solution has already been proposed by [1]. The authors have developed a system able to project video content on a stationary planar surface while moving a projector. To continuously adapt the projection, they rely on the three homographies between the screen, the camera and the projector. Since these homographies are related and the one between the screen and the camera does not chang...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW In this review, we discuss findings from some recent brain imaging studies that shed new light on our understanding of the role of visual experience on the development of the brain morphological and functional architecture in humans. To what extent is vision truly necessary to 'see' the world around us? RECENT FINDINGS Congenitally blind and sighted individuals present analo...

The effect of anoxia on the energy economy of root cells was studied by measuring heat production, ethanol and ATP production, K(+) fluxes and electrical activity in two Vitis species, V. riparia and V. rupestris, that differ in their tolerance to anoxia. Anoxia triggered a marked decrease of metabolic activity (measured by microcalorimetry) and of ATP levels in both species. In V. riparia afte...

Web engineering becomes increasingly important in the last years. WEB and audio services have to provide the best services possible. To achieve this goal, they have to find out what the customers are doing without altering their privacy. This paper presents two classes of models, mathematical and learning models, and two possible ways to manage and build adaptative menus. These methods are grav...

In this paper, we present a 3D finite element approach to compute multifluid flows. Special attention is given to capture the water/polymer interface, that can be obtained used a VOF (Volume of Fluid) or a Level Set technique, with or without adaptative meshing. Results are shown, in for 2D and 3D parts.

Adaptative training of the non-linear single-layer perceptron can lead to the Euclidean distance classifier and later to the standard Fisher linear discriminant function. On the way between these two classifiers one has a regularized discriminant analysis. That is equivalent to the “weight decay” regularization term added to the cost function. Thus early stopping plays a role of regularization ...

Background Athletes demonstrate major adaptative changes in their hearts with high level of exercise. However the long term consequences of endurance training were not completely understood. We aimed to to explore the effect of long term endurance exercise on cardiac morphology and function, and diffuse fibrosis, and assess the significance of any discovered changes (correlation with documented...

This work proposes a variation on the Marching Cubes algorithm, where the goal is to represent implicit functions with higher resolution and better graphical quality using the same grid size. The proposed algorithm displaces the vertices of the cubes iteratively until the stop condition is achieved. After each iteration, the difference between the implicit and the explicit representations are r...
