Male breast cancer (BC) is a rare disease and accounts for less than 1% of all BCs. Knowledge of this disease is limited and mainly derives from small single-institution retrospective studies with contradictory results. The management of male patients with BC is generalised from the management of BC in women. However, evidence is growing that the biology of male BC differs at least partly from ...

We present a novel, biomechanically-inspired, kinematic-based, example-driven walking synthesis model. Our model is ideally suited towards interactive applications such as games. It synthesizes motion interactively without a priori knowledge of the trajectory. The model is very efficient, producing foot-skate free, smooth motion over a large, continuous range of speeds and while turning, in as ...

Document-management is becoming a central and troubling issue for typical users of computers; and the need for more intuitive, flexible, and effective management-systems is becoming more and more evident. This paper reports on work to develop DocPlayer, a solution inspired by the control-metaphor of media-players. First, other attempts to address the document-management problem are reviewed; th...

Recently there has been an interest in spatially-aware systems for pedestrian routing and city exploration, due to the proliferation of smartphones with GPS receivers among the general public. Since GPS readings are noisy, giving good and well-timed route instructions to pedestrians is a challenging problem. This paper describes a spoken dialogue prototype for pedestrian navigation in Stockholm...

C ollecting and visualizing accessibility information are always challenging problems within the realm of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). A team of researchers at the University of Maryland have proposed innovative approaches that combine crowdsourcing, computer vision and machine learning to detect and visualize how accessible a particular street or sidewalk is. Tohme is one such approach fo...
