The location information obtained using a sensor is a critical requirement in wireless sensor networks. Numerous localization schemes have been proposed, among which mobile-anchor-node-assisted localization (MANAL) can reduce costs and overcome environmental constraints. A mobile anchor node (MAN) provides its own location information to assist the localization of sensor nodes. Numerous path pl...

investigation of desertification trend needs understanding of phenomena creating changes singly or action and reaction together in the manner that these changes were ended up in land degradation. in investigation of pedological criterion onland degradation in quaternary rock units, first, a part of the rude-shoor watershed area was selected. after distinguishing target area, maps of slope class...

In geologic imaging spectroscopy studies, typical end products are often mineral maps. These maps are usually ambiguous and form a limited method of representing geological information that is potentially contained in spectroscopic images. This situation can be improved by mapping the spatial configuration of the effects of geological processes instead of the solely individual minerals in a non...

Beacon attraction is a movement system whereby a robot (modeled as a point in 2D) moves in a free space so as to always locally minimize its Euclidean distance to an activated beacon (also a point). This results in the robot moving directly towards the beacon when it can, and otherwise sliding along the edge of an obstacle. When a robot can reach the activated beacon by this method, we say that...

Beacon is a novel peptide isolated from the hypothalamus of Israeli sand rat. In the present study, we determined the distribution of beacon in the rat brain using immunohistochemical approach with a polyclonal antiserum directed against the synthetic C-terminal peptide fragment (47-73). The hypothalamus represented the major site of beacon-immunoreactive (IR) cell bodies that were concentrated...

OBJECTIVE We examined whether spatialized nonspeech beacons could guide navigation and how sound timbre, waypoint capture radius, and practice affect performance. BACKGROUND Auditory displays may assist mobility and wayfinding for those with temporary or permanent visual impairment, but they remain understudied. Previous systems have used speech-based interfaces. METHOD Participants (108 un...
