The bam owl has fused visual/auditory/motor representations of space in its midbrain which are used to orient the head so that visual or auditory stimuli are centered in the visual field of view. We present models and computer simulations of these structures which address various problems, inclu<lln~ the construction of a map of space from auditory sensory information, and the problem of drivin...

The Persian art of vault construction is unique and deserves to be preserved and recorded as cultural heritage, apart from the struct...

home uterine activity monitoring (huam) has demonstrated to be of great value for preventing preterm labor in recent years. in this research, a low cost monitoring device for non-invasive monitoring of the uterine activity in pregnant women is presented. the new device has been designed based on an inductive colpitz oscillator and vertical displacement of a ferrite core in a coil. the resulting...

The idea of real-time information provided for decision support has existed for several decades. Considering thos...

One of the difficulties at developing mechanisms for business process security monitoring and auditing is the existence of representative, realistic and controlled test runs. This paper presents ongoing work toward a business process simulation method geared to the synthesis of event logs. The novelty is that it considers the activity of an (internal) attacker able purposefully infringe the des...

Monitoring business processes is an important area in Business Process Management. This area not only supports monitoring but also enables flexibility. Thus, it has been investigated in many other areas like Business Activity Monitoring, Exception Handling, Aspect Oriented Business Process Management, etc. These areas require to define how a process instance should be monitored from different p...
