Sectors of the Campania region (southern Italy), where pyroclastic airfall deposits cover carbonate slopes, have frequently experienced debris avalanches and flows. These landslides are triggered by heavy rainfall in last century caused severe destruction hundreds deaths. Their occurrence is controlled interaction several factors, both natural human induced.

A particle filter framework of multiple evidence fusion and model matching in a sequence of images is presented for robust recognition and pose estimation of 3D objects. It attempts to challenge a long-standing problem in robot vision, so called, how to ensure the dependability of its performance under the large variation in visual properties of a scene due to changes in illumination, texture, ...

we propose RACE, a report-based payment scheme for multihop wireless networks to stimulate node cooperation, regulate packet transmission, and enforce fairness. The nodes submit lightweight payment reports (instead of receipts) to the accounting center (AC) and temporarily store undeniable security tokens called Evidences. The reports contain the alleged charges and rewards without security pro...

The role of instruction in developing pragmatic competence in L2 Chinese: A review of empirical evidences" (2013). World Languages and Cultures Faculty Publications. Paper 38. TITLE: The role of instruction in developing pragmatic competence in L2 Chinese: A review of empirical evidences

This paper describes a new student model technology that combines evidences and knowledge about pedagogical and domain structure. Its structure is generated from the metadata available in the content representation of the adaptive webbased learning platform ActiveMath (or other contents). The evidences are processed with Item Response Theory and Transferable Belief Model uncertainty methodologi...

The modeling of epistemic knowledge is a necessity of most systems dealing with some sort of artificial reasoning. There a re several formalisms able to mathematically model someone’s degrees of belief. A very popular one is the Bayesian Theory, which is based on a prior knowledge of a probability distribution. Another model is the Theory of Evidence, or DempskrShafer Theory, which provides a m...
