The international literature has dealt extensively with innovativeness, both in theory, as well as in a pleiad of empiric studies. Radical innovations encompass high quality action that contributes to the creation of new sectors, products or markets. Cooper (1998) adds that as long as innovations become more radical, they lead to evident and risky removal from existing practices. It is obvious ...

background: in our competing educational world, students spend a considerable part of their daily life, studying at library furniture. not surprisingly, due to lack of proper anthropometric databases, these products have typically been ill fitted for the intended user populations. objective: to verify the optimum anthropometric match of library furniture within an academic environment, through ...

Three child fall issues have been selected by VISU for special focus because of the major contribution they make to serious fall injury, and their preventability: (1) playground equipment fall injury (26% of fall injury hospital admissions); (2) furniture-related fall injury: chairs, beds, tables and other furniture (11%); and (3) fall injury involving ice skates, skis, roller skates, skateboar...

This short paper outlines research results on object classification in images of Neoclassical furniture. The motivation was to provide an object recognition framework which is able to support the alignment of furniture images with a symbolic level model. A data-driven bottom-up research routine in the Neoclassica research framework is the main use-case. It strives to deliver tools for analyzing...

Experiment 1 (2.5 yr olds): Experimenter pointed to object in the model and ask children to find the matching object in the room. the furniture and arrangement were similar in the room and model model was aligned in same orientation as the room experimenter introduced each piece of furniture and showed the child the correspondence between the two, holding each miniature next to its larger count...

The heat treatment of softwood (i.e. spruce, pine, fir, and larch) may result in significant colour changes. During this study Scots pine and spruce samples were steamed and analysed for their altered hue and lightness. Treatments included: 0 to 22 days of steaming time at a temperature range of 70 to 100°C. The outcome included a variety of colours between the initial hues and brownish tint. T...

Rich Internet Applications provide users with facilities in web applications that are similar to desktop applications. This class of applications imposes new challenges on software design. In this paper, we propose a new method for designing rich internet applications. The design process uses results from an objectoriented analysis and employs interaction spaces as the basic abstraction mechani...
