This paper explores the technical feasibility of five functions of driving assistance systems to contribute to road traffic safety, to reach stated EU road traffic safety targets. Enabling technologies, their maturity level and development path, with a view on possible large-scale implementation, are addressed. State-of-the-art and potential of enabling technologies like positioning, radar, las...

This paper examines the positioning accuracy of a GSM beaconbased location system in a metropolitan environment. We explore five factors effecting positioning accuracy: location algorithm choice, scan set size, simultaneous use of cells from different providers, training and testing on different devices, and calibration data density. We collected a 208-hour, 4350Km driving trace of three differ...

This introduction draws together the braad themes discussed in the articles presented in th is special issue, placing cross-national similarities and differences in gender, equality, and industrial relations within a broader conceptual and policy context. As a field of study, industrial relations traditionally downplays the salience of gender and other identity characteristics; however, the Eur...

The Metrology Light Source (MLS) is a dedicated electron storage ring for metrology applications with three families of sextupoles. The existing setting of the three independently powered sextupole families respective to lifetime were roughly determined by scanning their strengths against each other. As a flexible machine the sextupole families of the MLS can be regrouped into new families, whi...

Political marketing is a fundamental part of political life. Presidents and prime ministers; politicians and parties; government departments and councils all use marketing in their pursuit of political goals. Political marketing also attracts public attention and debate. It has become the focus of many movies over the years such as Nayak, Satyagraha, Rajneeti which cover strategy, branding, pos...

The aim of the presentation is to investigate acoustic analysis of connected speech by means of an average-equalized and energy-equalized variogram to extract vocal dysperiodicities. The variogram enables positioning a current and a lagged analysis frame in adjacent speech cycles to track inter-cycle dysperiodicities. Average and energy equalization of the analysis frames are options that make ...

This paper describes a technique for generating images on the screen wallpaper to show changes in information. By automatically collecting images from user-selected web sites, applying color filters to them, and positioning the filtered images on the screen background, our system provides a visible, non-intrusive way to raise awareness.

This work presents the development of a 3-Dimensional Positioning Acquisition System, proposed for applications in real-

_____________________________________________________________________ Adaptation of the corpus platform ScienQuest for assistance to writing in a second language The ScienQuest platform was initially created for the linguistic study of positioning and reasoning in the Scientext corpus. This demonstration introduces modifications to this platform, transforming it into a phraseological database a...
