The O-OSCAR software architecture is a problem solving environment for complex scheduling problem that is based on a constraintbased representation. On top of this core representation a problem solver module and a schedule execution system guarantee a complete support to address a scheduling problem. Furthermore, a rather sophisticated interaction module allows users to maintain control on diff...

background and objectives: the development of high yielding cultivars with wide adaptability is the ultimate aim of plant breeders. however, attaining this goal is made more complicated by genotype-environment interactions. the genotype by environment interaction is a major problem in the study of quantitative traits because it complicates the interpretation of genetic experiments and makes pre...

Whole-body 123I-Metaiodobenzylguanidine (mIBG) scintigraphy is used as primary image modality to visualize neuroblastoma tumours and metastases because it is the most sensitive and specific radioactive tracer in staging the disease and evaluating the response to treatment. However, especially in paediatric neuroblastoma, information from mIBG scans is difficult to extract because of acquisition...

Historically in plant breeding a large number of statistical models has been developed and used for studying genotype × environment interaction. These models have helped plant breeders to assess the stability of economically important traits and to predict the performance of newly developed genotypes evaluated under varying environmental conditions. In the last decade, the use of relatively low...

The Laboratory for Human Interaction in the Virtual Environment at the Naval Postgraduate School is one of the leading groups for the comprehensive study of humans in the virtual environment. The lab builds on work completed by the NPSNET Research Group to push the edge of human interaction. The HIVE Lab is additionally working towards the acceptance of a Masters program for this work at NPS an...

Skenario interaksi manusia-robot adalah sangat rumit dan memerlukan definisi yang tepat dari variabel lingkungan untuk pengujian yang ketat aspek-aspek berbeda perilaku robot. Kondisi lingkungan mempengaruhi perilaku manusia dan robot, sehingga manusia dan robot merespon berbeda pada kondisi akustik atau pencahayaan berbeda. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan eksperimen berulang-ulang dengan manusia...

This paper organizes theoretical contributions from different disciplinary areas, in order to investigate the issue of intimate relationships that individuals establish with some elements of the environment. The theme of the relationship between the self and the external environment is explored through an ecological approach, in order to obtain insights in understanding the phenomenon of human-...

Der Begriff Ambient Intelligence (AmI) bezeichnet ein neues Paradigma der Interaktion zwischen dem Menschen und seiner Alltagsumgebung. Ambient Intelligence versetzt diese Umgebung in die Lage, sich des in ihr handelnden Menschen, seiner Ziele und Bedürfnisse bewusst zu sein (Context Awareness) und den Nutzer beimDurchführen seiner Tätigkeiten zu assistieren. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt ...

" The environment is everything that isn't me. " Albert Einstein

With the rapid emergence of 3D applications and virtual environments in computer systems; the need for a new type of interaction device arises. This is because the traditional devices such as mouse, keyboard, and joystick become inefficient and cumbersome within these virtual environments. In other words, evolution of user interfaces shapes the change in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). In...
