Based on the communication literature, telepresence is defined as “a mediated experience that creates for the user a strong sense of presence and entails an illusion of non-mediation”. The main body of previous studies serves industrial communication where technology is of vital concern. However, in the context of e-commerce, the appropriate focus of telepresence should be the human experience ...

The most significant aspect of a geochemical exploration program is to define and separate the anomalous values from the background. In the past decades, geochemical anomalies have been identified by means of various methods. Most of the conventional statistical methods aiming at defining the geochemical concentration thresholds for separating anomalies from the background have limited the effi...

Purpose: To describe a case series of young adult patients with isolated chronic proximal biceps tendinitis refractory to conservative care found to have anatomic long head biceps tendon (LHBT) origin variations who underwent arthroscopic-assisted subpectoral biceps tenodesis. Methods: Patients were included in this retrospective case series if they met all the following criteria: 1) had ...

The search for anomalies or outliers in large-scale network data has important security applications and can help to uncover interesting behavior. Four different types of anomalies can be discovered in static and dynamic network data: nodes, edges, small subgraphs, and/or larger (sub) networks. To date, most of the research in this area has focused on identifying anomalous nodes, links, or smal...

A new method of identifying anomalous oceanic temperature and salinity (T/S) data from Argo profiling floats is proposed. The proposed method uses World Ocean Database 2013 climatology to classify good against anomalous data by using convex hulls. An n-sided polygon (convex hull) with least area encompassing all the climatological points is constructed using Jarvis March algorithm. Subsequently...

Highly localized nuclear activation in electrochemical systems and other electrical discharge processes have been observed by many laboratories in world. There is an attempt to explain such anomalous phenomena by using torsion field theory and axion model in this report. Anisotopic behaviours of radiation products, burst charaster, “heat after death” of excess energy release in electrical disch...

[1] A global perspective is developed on a number of high impact climate extremes in 2010 through diagnostic studies of the anomalies, diabatic heating, and global energy and water cycles that demonstrate relationships among variables and across events. Natural variability, especially ENSO, and global warming from human influences together resulted in very high sea surface temperatures (SSTs) i...

The HILT sensor has been designed to measure heavy ion elemental abundances, energy spectra, and direction of incidence in the mass range from helium to iron and in the energy range 4 to 250 MeV/nucleou. With its large geometric factor of 60 cm’sr the sensor is optimized to provide compositional and spectral measurements for low intensity cosmic rays, Le. for small solar energetic particle even...
