Falls in the elderly and disabled people represent a major health problem in terms of primary care costs facing the public and private systems. This paper presents a multi-agent system capable of detecting falls through sensors in a mobile device and act accordingly at runtime. The new system incorporates a fall detection algorithm based on machine learning and data classification using decisio...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Many patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) suffer from anemia. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of the admission hemoglobin level and the post-admission fall in hemoglobin level on short-term prognosis during hospitalization. METHODS This retrospective study involved 542 highrisk ACS patients who were admitted during 2005. The hemogl...

Two popular mounting positions of Doppler radar for human fall detection are in the ceiling center and at the torso level. This paper examines the fall signatures observed by a Doppler radar at the two positions and evaluates their consistencies with respect to the fall directions and locations. The complementary characteristics of the fall signatures motivate the integration of the features fr...

Weil descent methods have recently been applied to attack the Hidden Field Equation (HFE) public key systems and solve the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem (ECDLP) in small characteristic. However the claims of quasi-polynomial time attacks on the HFE systems and the subexponential time algorithm for the ECDLP depend on various heuristic assumptions. In this paper we introduce the noti...

Christie-Blick, N., 1991. Onlap, ofttap, and the origin of unconformity-bounded depositional sequences. Mar. Geol., 97: 35-56. Unconformity-bounded depositional sequences represent the fundamental building blocks of sedimentary successions. They are typically characterized by onlap at the base and by offlap at the top, and they tend to be markedly asymmetrical, with onlap accounting for a large...

Palintiples are natural numbers which are integer multiples of their digit reversals. The most well-known base-10 example is 87912 = 4 · 21978. Using only elementary number theory we elucidate some general properties of palintiples of an arbitrary base. Palintiples naturally fall into three mutually exclusive and exhaustive classes based upon the structure of their carries. We apply our results...
