This paper explores usage of mixed reality techniques as support tools for conceptual design. A proof-of-concept was developed to illustrate the combination of these two techniques. Using this as an example a small group of designers was interviewed to determine their views on the use of this technology. Several interesting applications were determined, suggesting possible usage in a wide range...

Applications of composite links and exploded likelihoods for generalized linear latent and mixed models are explored.

Let G be a mixed graph. We discuss the relation between the second largest eigenvalue λ2(G) and the second largest degree d2(G), and present a sufficient condition for λ2(G) ≥ d2(G).

The freely accessible geospatial information in Halden holds a very high standard. Based on this content and the proposed technology, the municipality enters a model of the house (garage, church, etc.) into the automaticallygenerated online 3D model of Halden. Both the public and the authorities can inspect the plan in Mixed Reality (MR) on-site using their preferred wireless device, and give f...

INTRODUCTION T-piece resuscitator (TPR) has many advantages compared to self-inflating bag (SIB). Early Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) during newborn resuscitation (NR) with TPR at delivery can reduce intubation rate. METHODS We speculated that the intubation rate at delivery room was high because SIB had always been used during NR and this can be improved with TPR. Intubation rat...

In this paper the effect of posibilistic or mixed background risk on the level of optimal prevention is studied. In the framework of five purely possibilistic or mixed models, necessary and sufficient conditions are found such that the level of optimal saving decreases or increases as a result of the actions of various types of background risk. This way our results complete those obtained by Co...
