This paper explores environmental and socially sustainable practices among different actors in the Bordeaux wine value chain (WVC). The main research question is to identify extent which are aligned terms of beliefs concerning importance implementation practices. While each actor WVC performs depending on activities that they undertake, some share common exert upstream pressure as seek support ...

A room may be used for a wide variety of performances and presentations. Each use places different acoustical requirements on the room. We desire a method of electronically controlling the acoustical properties of a room so that one physical space can accommodate various uses. A virtual acoustic room is a room equipped with speakers, microphones and signal processors that functions as an intera...

Virtual Architecture is a virtual place that uses the metaphor of architecture and provides an online environment for various human activities. While Virtual Architecture inherits many of the characteristics of physical architecture, it is possible to reconsider the virtual in terms of flexibility and autonomy. This paper presents a User-centred Virtual Architecture (UcVA) Agent, a kind of rati...

In this paper high-quality model-based sound synthesis of plucked string and woodwind instruments is combined with room simulation and auralization techniques. The result is a real-time virtual three-dimensional room where the listener and multiple virtual instruments can be moved. The system was designed using signal processors in a multiprocessing environment. Sound radiation patterns of musi...

The Virtual Trial Room (VTR) application software simulates an apparel dressing room by the implementation of a virtual mirror, portraying an augmented view of the user with virtual superimposed clothes. Traditional approach to the design and implementation of virtual dressing rooms have been wildly using either normal webcams with Tag/Marker based tracking or expensive 3D depth & motion sensin...

On the basis of the radiative transfer theory, this paper addressed the estimate ofLand Surface Temperature (LST) from the Chinese first operational geostationarymeteorological satellite-FengYun-2C (FY-2C) data in two thermal infrared channels (IR1,10.3-11.3 μ m and IR2, 11.5-12.5 μ m ), using the Generalized Split-Window (GSW)algorithm proposed by Wan and Dozier (1996). The coefficients in the...

A general-purpose virtual audio system called the Audio Reality Engine (ARE) is proposed in this paper. Based on the investigation of the addition of spatial-localized sound to virtual environments, we discuss in detail the design and implementation techniques, including HRTF model based on neural network, the simulation of moving sound sources, the simulation of Doppler effects, and room acous...
