Macrophages (Mws) accumulate at sites of inflammation, and, because they can assume several functionally distinct states of activation, they can either drive or restrain inflammatory responses. Once believed to depend on the recruitment of blood monocytes, it is now clear that the accumulation of Mws in some tissues can result from the proliferation of resident Mws in situ. However, little is k...

We describe work-in-progress toward a nonlinear image-based rigid body dynamic triangulator which we believe tracks a moving target from "essentially all" initial conditions (all initial conditions except a set of measure zero). The dynamic triangulator depends on the goal state only through its image plane position and velocity and requires a navigation function, imposed directly upon image fe...

M-commerce refers to monetary transactions conducted via a mobile telecommunications network using a communication, information, and payment (CIP) device such as a mobile phone or a palmtop unit. Success in mobile portal markets will depend on dynamic strategies that blend elements of personalization, permission, and specification of content. This paper presents of framework for developing effe...

Conventional binocular dynamic programming stereo is based on matching images of a given stereopair in order to obtain Bayesian or maximum likelihood estimates of hidden Markov models of epipolar terrain profiles. Because of partial occlusions and homogeneous textures, this problem is ill-posed and has to be regularised for getting a unique solution. Regularised matching involves usually heuris...

Recently, damages such as internal system intrusion, network and device vulnerability attacks, malicious code infection, information leakage due to security attacks are increasing within the smart grid environment. Detailed dynamic access control must be implemented enable power in environment respond attacks. Dynamic partial delegation available, permission role restrictions considered for whe...

The paper considers probabilistic regularisation of partial occlusions in the intensity-based symmetric dynamic programming stereo (SDPS). The regularised SDPS relates the total similarity of corresponding pixels to a cumulative log-likelihood ratio for a profile that yields the correspondences. Transition probability models are investigated in detail in order to explicitly relate the likelihoo...

To protect sensitive resources from unauthorized use, modern mobile systems, such as Android and iOS, design a permission-based access control model. However, current model could not enforce fine-grained control over the dynamic permission use contexts, causing two severe security problems. First, any code package in an application could use the granted permissions, inducing attackers to embed ...
