Several Augmented Reality systems have been proposed for different target fields such as medical, cultural heritage, military, etc.. However, most of the current AR authoring tools are actually programming interfaces that are exclusively suitable for programmers. In this paper, we propose an AR authoring tool which provides advanced visual effect, such as occlusion or media contents. This tool ...

In industrial photogrammetric measurement with CCD cameras, the number of target images may amount to several hundred when large and complex objects are involved. It is therefore impractical to use solely manual means to identify these image points. This paper reports on a further design for coded targets, which can be automatically located and identified, and it also discusses special arrangem...

This paper documents the procedures of constructing China’s input-output tables (IOTs) and supply-use tables (SUTs) in time series for the period 1981-2010 under the East Asian Industrial Productivity/China KLEMS Project. We begin with basic data problems in terms of inconsistencies in concept, coverage, and classification of Chinese national accounts (NAs) and biases of using the NA implicit g...

The residual dyes from different sources (e.g., textile industries, paper and pulp industries, dye and dye intermediates industries, pharmaceutical industries, tannery, and Kraft bleaching industries, etc.) are considered a wide variety of organic pollutants introduced into the natural water resources or wastewater treatment systems. One of the main sources with severe pollution problems worldw...

Software translation is a challenging task. Several requirements are important – including automation of the execution, maintainability of the translation patterns, and, most importantly, reliability concerning the correctness of the translation. Triple graph grammars (TGGs) have shown to be an intuitive, welldefined technique for model translation. In this paper, we leverage TGGs for industry ...

The contamination of industrial cooling towers has been identified as one cause of legionellosis, but the real risk has been underestimated. Two different disinfection treatments were tested on Legionella colonization in an industrial Cooling Tower System (CTS). Environmental monitoring of Legionella, P. aeruginosa, and a heterotrophic plate count (HPC) at 36 °C was performed from June to Octob...

The aim of this paper is twofold: first, to explore the effects of industrial cluster on innovation capacity, and second, to study the impact of external resources on firms’ innovation capacity especially under Chinese regional economic policy. This is a critical subject that lacks sufficient analysis. Through years of investment and effort, several IT industrial clusters have developed in Chin...

Routine screening for hearing impairment in childhood is now widespread in industrial countries, although there is considerable controversy over the most efficient techniques and procedures. In most developing countries, however, routine screening programmes for hearing impairment do not currently exist. The problems involved in implementing screening programmes in developing and industrial cou...

Ultrasonic testing and evaluation procedures typically depend on reference reflectors to establish detection sensitivity and evaluation of test data. Rules and regulations governing safety-related components emphasize on test procedures that assure the detectability of discontinuities at all over the component and oriented in any arbitrary direction. Existing procedures, however, do not provide...
