Emerging issues in the auditory display aim at increasing the usability of interfaces. In this paper we present a virtual resonating environment, which synthesizes distance cues by means of reverberation. We realize a model that recreates the acoustics inside a tube, applying a numerical scheme called Waveguide Mesh, and we present the psychophysical experiments we have conducted for validating...

This work aims at proposing a methodology to spatialize the Energy Balance (EB) components from combined use of MODIS sensor products and ERA-Interim reanalysis data, evaluate performance OSEB METRIC models for estimating EB in predominantly humid subtropical climate Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The research was conducted 3 consecutive years 2009 2011. temporal variation patterns were analyzed by...

The basic problem of cyberspace architecture is to prescribe a spatiallycoherent internetworked infrastructure capable of delivering a real-time environment, with appropriate fidelity, to a large number of participants. We use the ARPA Domain-Specific Software Architecture process to develop an architecture for cyberspace. The process begins with the development of a Domain Model. Reference Req...

The management of the forest fire risk starts with it assessment. This assessment made the object of several works of research and many models of fire risk have been related. The model that interests us here is that established for Mediterranean forests. This last is conceived according to a sum weighted model integral three factors, where each is affected by a weight, function of his influence...

Data collected by measuring farmland environmental indicators are vital sources of agricultural information. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been employed to acquire stable and real time farmland environment data. WSNs, recognized as one of the latest development trends, recently attracted widespread attention and application due to their relative economy, stability, and sophistication. In...
