Abstract This paper proposes and describes an unsupervised computational model that monitors elderly person who lives alone issues alarms when a risk to the person’s well-being is identified. based on data extracted exclusively from passive infrared motion sensors connected ZigBee wireless network. The proposed monitoring system non-intrusive, does not capture any images, require interaction wi...

Energy balance-related behavioral patterns find their origin in early childhood. The current paper provides an overview of studies that have examined such behavioral patterns, i.e., the clustering of dietary behaviors, physical activity, and/or sedentary behavior. The paper discusses the importance of examining energy balance-related behavioral patterns in children, outlines methods to examine ...

Traffic oscillation, stop and go traffic, is created by different reasons such as: sudden speed drop of leader vehicle. Stop and go traffic commonly is observed in congested freeways results in traffic oscillation. Many theories had been presented to define congestion traffic based on laws of physics such as: thermodynamics and fluid. But, these theories could not explain the complexity of driv...
