for two consecutive variational eigenvalues, λl < λl+1 of −∆p on W 0 (Ω), and some ε > 0 (see Section 2 for the definition of the variational spectrum). The special case where α+(x) = α−(x) ≡ λl and q = 1 was recently studied by Arcoya and Orsina [1], Bouchala and Drábek [3], and Drábek and Robinson [8] (see also Cuesta et al. [6] and Dancer and Perera [7]). In the present paper, we prove a sin...

We have developed several results on the existence and asymptotic behavior of nlild solutions to rextiondiffusion systems that have infinite delirys in the nonlinear reaction terms. We find that the semiflow generated by a cooperative and irreducible reaction-tliffilsio system with infinite delay is not compact but set-condcrrsing, ancl not strongly order-preserving but quasi strongly ordc~r-1)...

The motivation for our project is to provide choreographers with a new software and hardware tool for composing and recording multi-dancer choreographies from a single dancer. We use a Microsoft Kinect camera/sensor to record 3D point-cloud sequences of a dancer in motion. In a 3D point-cloud, or sequence, a grid of 640x480 infrared dots are projected by the Kinect sensor, and a sensor records ...

Dancing is an entertaining form of taskless interaction. When interacting with a dancing Embodied Conversational Agent (ECA), the lack of a clear task presents the challenge of eliciting an interaction between user and ECA in a different way. In this paper we describe our Virtual Dancer, which is an ECA that invites a user to dance. In our system the user is monitored using global movement char...

A digital anatomy construction (DANCER) program was developed for gene expression data. DANCER can be used to reconstruct anatomical images from in situ hybridization images, microarray or other gene expression data. The program fills regions of a drawn figure with the corresponding values from a gene expression data set. The output of the program presents the expression levels of a particular ...

Given that embodied interaction is widespread in HumanComputer Interaction, interests on the importance of body movements and emotions are gradually increasing. The present paper describes our process of designing and testing a dancer sonification system using a participatory design research methodology. The end goal of the dancer sonification project is to have dancers generate aesthetically p...

All flexible materials such as textiles, papers, polymers or metals are handled on rollers during their processing. Maintaining web tension in the entire processing line under changing web speed is a key factor for achieving good final product quality. Two approaches are mostly used for tension control: load cells which provide direct web tension measurement or dancers which indirectly regulate...
