Gender and Work Hours Transitions in Australia: Drop Ceilings and Trap-Door Floors We introduce the ideas of “drop ceilings”, that full-time employees who switch to reduced hours thereafter face an hours ceiling such that a return to full-time employment is difficult, and of “trap-door floors”, that full-time employees may be denied the opportunity to reduce their hours and instead face a choic...

The present study investigates the effects of different types of concurrent feedback on the acquisition of perceptual-motor skills. Twenty participants walked through virtual corridors in which rhythmically opening and closing sliding doors were placed. The participants aimed to adjust their walking speed so as to cross the doors when the doors were close to their maximal aperture width. The hi...

Stalking is a dangerous and devastating crime that irrevocably changes the lives of victims but is frequently misunderstood and minimized. Victims report that their lives are never the same after they have been stalked. Stalking is prevalent and gender-neutral and occurs across all socioeconomic lines and in all clinical settings. The prevalence of stalking provides many opportunities for socia...

ABSTRACT In the field of sound recognition, research and study event detection are still active, with vast majority papers focusing mostly on domain speech music. This paper presents discusses a framework for room system. Feature extraction techniques utilized discussed to obtain parametric type representation analysis intelligent homes machine listening systems specifically room. The conduc...

The nonlinear Hall effect (NLHE), which can produce a transverse voltage without any magnetic field, is potential alternative for rectification or frequency doubling. However, the low temperature detection of NLHE limits its applications. Here, we report room-temperature in type-II Weyl semimetal TaIrTe4, hosts robust due to substantial broken inversion symmetry and large band overlapping at Fe...

This research presents a technique for counting the number of people in smart office room when walking and out door by relying on normal quality webcam. means that camera is not high resolution. The picture clear sharp. Therefore, image must be counted to adjust color first before being processed other steps. designed system uses OpenCV Raspberry Pi help Edge Computing processing comparing imag...

BACKGROUND Patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) usually report feeling larger than they really are. This body overestimation appears to be related not only to the patient's body image but also to an abnormal representation of the body in action. In previous work on a body-scaled anticipation task, anorexic patients judged that they could not pass through a door-like aperture even when it was eas...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Point-of-care testing using capillary blood from a finger prick is widely used for predonation haemoglobin testing of blood donors. It is common practice to cover the finger prick with a cotton swab and to instruct the donor to press for few minutes. The finger prick can cause blood contamination of surfaces in contact with the lanced finger, especially door handles, r...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) enable smart environments to create pervasive and ubiquitous applications, which give context-aware and scalable services to the end users. In this paper, we propose an architecture and design of a web application for a sensor network monitoring. Further, the variation in received signal strength indicator values is used for knowledge extraction. Experiments are ...
