Als Beispiel einer interaktiven Mixed Reality Umgebung beschreiben wir den „Sensoric Garden“, sieben während eines Festivals gezeigte Installationen. Da solche Ereignisse sich nicht in Bezug auf Benutzbarkeit oder Effektivität bewerten lassen, benötigen wir andere Kriterien, um die Attraktivität der Installationen für Besucher zu erklären. Konzepte aus der Debatte um Interaktionsdesign und Inte...

This paper presents modifications to a standard probabilistic context-free grammar that enable a predictive parser to avoid garden pathing without resorting to any ad-hoc heuristic repair. The resulting parser is shown to apply efficiently to both newspaper text and telephone conversations with complete coverage and excellent accuracy. The distribution over trees is peaked enough to allow the p...

The purpose of this study is to review representative cases of green space development in order to compare the Garden City concept and Green Belt concept as applied and to examine its direction in major Asian and Oceanic cities. The results of previous studies and this study show that there are two major directions in such green-oriented city planning. One direction is toward Multi-Regional Dev...

ZGARBOVÁ, M.: Fundamental phenomenological categories of garden and landscape. Acta univ. agric. et silvic. Mendel. Brun., 2012, LX, No. 8, pp. 299–306 The current scientifi c methods describing gardens and landscapes all over the world are not always suffi cient for the purpose of deep understanding of specifi c and close relations between landscape/ garden and its inhabitants/visitors. A new ...

We show new results about the garden-hose model. Our main results include improved lower bounds based on non-deterministic communication complexity (leading to the previously unknown Θ(n) bounds for Inner Product mod 2 and Disjointness), as well as an O(n · log n) upper bound for the Distributed Majority function (previously conjectured to have quadratic complexity). We show an efficient simula...

Gardens represent important sources of goods and services for their owners. This functionality translates directly into the types of plants cultivated in a given garden, and terminology has been developed to distinguish each category of garden according to its purpose. The factors explaining the differentiation and distribution of gardens have not previously been explored at the global scale. I...

In the paper we propose general framework for Automatic Secret Generation and Sharing (ASGS) that should be independent of underlying secret sharing scheme. ASGS allows to prevent the dealer from knowing the secret or even to eliminate him at all. Two situations are discussed. First concerns simultaneous generation and sharing of the random, prior nonexistent secret. Such a secret remains unkno...

A rational secret sharing scheme is a game in which each party responsible for reconstructing a secret tries to maximize his utility by obtaining the secret alone. Quantum secret sharing schemes, either derived from quantum teleportation or from quantum error correcting code, do not succeed when we assume rational participants. This is because all existing quantum secret sharing schemes conside...

Tranditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was successfully used in many cases of chronic disease treatment. The fungus garden of termite, a mixture of leaves, growing fungi, and secretion of termite, is often used for protection of the liver, and treatments for disorder diseases, Parkinson's disease (PD), and so on. However, the mechanism is unknown. To reveal the effective component, we applied the ...

BACKGROUND Childhood obesity is an epidemic. Strategies are needed to promote children's healthy habits related to diet and physical activity. School gardens have the potential to bolster children's physical activity and reduce time spent in sedentary activity; however little research has examined the effect of gardens on children's physical activity. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) exam...
