The Web allows self-regulated learning through interaction with large amounts of learning resources. While enjoying the flexibility of learning, learners may suffer from cognitive overload and conceptual and navigational disorientation when faced with various information resources under disparate topics and complex knowledge structures. This study proposed a knowledge visualization (KV) approac...

Motion in depth and/or zooming cause defocus blur. We show how the defocus blur in an image can be recovered simultaneously with affine motion. We introduce the theory, develop a solution method and demonstrate the validity of the theory and the solution by conducting experiments with real scenery.

It is considered to be desirable that a wearable joint can be operated by human daily skills. In order to realize such a joint, the joint should be controlled so that the kinesthetic feeling induced by the kinetic characteristic of an object is directly, or transparently, transmitted to a person without any kinetic distortion by the joint itself, because it is considered that kinesthetic feelin...

The control of kinetic profiles is among the most important problems in fusion reactor research. It is strongly related to a great number of other problems in fusion energy generation such as burn control, transport reduction, confinement time improvement, MHD instability avoidance and highor high-confinement operating modes access. We seek a controller which is able to make the kinetic profile...

The most natural kinetic data structure for maintaining the maximum of a collection of continuously changing numbers is the kinetic heap. Basch, Guibas, and Ramkumar proved that the maximum number of events processed by a kinetic heap with n numbers changing as linear functions of time is O(n log n) and Ω(n log n). We prove that this number is actually Θ(n log n). In the kinetic heap, a linear ...

This Perspective describes the emergence of tunneling control as a new reactivity paradigm in chemistry. The term denotes a tunneling reaction that passes through a high but narrow potential energy barrier, leading to formation of a product that would be disfavored if the reaction proceeded by passage over kinetic barriers rather than through them. This reactivity paradigm should be considered ...

Although a fairly new topic in the context of cyber security, situation awareness (SA) has a far longer history of study and applications in such areas as control of complex enterprises and in conventional warfare. Far more is known about the SA in conventional military conflicts, or adversarial engagements, than in cyber ones. By exploring what is known about SA in conventional – also commonly...
