This paper presents a novel algorithm, called Radial Sector Coding (RSC), for Translation, Rotation and Scale invariant character recognition. Translation invariance is obtained using Center of Mass (CoM). Scaling invariance is achieved by normalizing the features of characters. To obtain most challenging rotation invariance, RSC searches a rotation invariant Line of Reference (LoR) by exploiti...

In a prospective trial involving 547 women, Evron et al. reported a 16% incidence of difficult epidural catheter insertion following a LOR with air technique, while in those patients treated with fluid for the LOR only 4% had a difficult catheter insertion (13). Evron et al. also showed that with air more inadvertent intravascular insertions of the epidural catheter occurred (13). This was howe...

‘Human factor’ is one of the most relevant and crucial aspects of software development projects management. Aiming at the performance improvement for software processes in organizations, a new model has been developed to diagnose people related processes. This new model is People-CMM and represents a complementary solution to CMM. On the other hand, existing estimation models in Software Engine...

The abundant choices offered by digital media have raised concerns that audience behavior in news consumption might become polarized into people either aggressively seeking out or avoiding the news. Despite growing evidence to that effect, there is no research that precisely measures exposure to news over a period of years. This study assesses TV news consumption by analyzing respondent-level “...

Do People Seek to Maximize Their Subjective Well‐Being?* In a new survey we ask respondents, after a standard Subjective Well‐Being (SWB) question, if they can think of changes in their lives that would improve their SWB score. If the SWB score is just one argument among others in the respondents’ goals in life, they should easily find ways to improve it, at the expense of other dimensions they...

People counting is a challenging task with many applications. We propose a method with a fixed stereo camera that is based on projecting a template onto the depth image. The method was tested on a challenging outdoor dataset with good results and runs in real time.

On the basis of goal/expectation theory, it was predicted that just as in interpersonal relationships, cooperation in social dilemma groups would increase only if both trust was high and group members had a common goal of cooperation. Introducing new measures of both these two processes to the social dilemma arena, the goal of mutual cooperation was assessed by the process of self–other merging...

First, this paper elaborates upon some concepts of the Dutch SocioTechnical Systems Design (STSD) approach of 'Integral Organizational Renewal (lOR)" and contrasts them with relevant Australian, Scam1inavian or American counterparts, For instance, the main concepts of 'sub-system' and 'aspect-system' are discriminated and discussed as they will continue to influence differentially the theoretic...
