Models of object vision have been of great interest in computer vision and visual neuroscience. During the last decades, several models have been developed to extract visual features from images for object recognition tasks. Some of these were inspired by the hierarchical structure of primate visual system, and some others were engineered models. The models are varied in several aspects: models...

Although solar photovoltaics (PV) are recognized as a promising source of clean energy production, researchers and policy makers need to know the optimum level of solar PV capacity penetration into the existing generation structure under the current fuel mix for the region. As the level of installed PV capacity increases, it is possible that the aggregated generation mix could produce electrica...

Michaela Riediger Research Scientist Center for Lifespan Psychology Max Planck Institute for Human Development Berlin, Germany Every once in a while, we all encounter situations in which we think about what we want to attain, maintain, or avoid in the future. No matter which goals we set ourselves in such situations—to spend more time with friends, learn Spanish, find a better-paid job, lose we...

The underlying assumption behind our conceptual framework is that CAMSAS is capable of acquiring user’s personal information at finest level of detail. The goal of PDMA is to empower subjects (i.e. users which personal information is about) to determine which subset of their personal information is to be made available to recipients. In other words, the central notion of this construct is trans...

ing the essential qualities that are useful for a given domain and grouping those objects with similar qualities is a powerful way of simplifying the computer representation of a problem. These essential qualities characterise the state and the behaviour of objects. Behaviour is defined by abstracting the essential operations that an object can perform and which can be performed on it. A vector...

This book is a collection of wide-ranging, informative and provocative chapters discussing the use of social networks to serve teens, both online and in the library. Comprehensive surveys on this topic are being discussed in this series. The application of social networks is a new era for library services to young adults.
