More than thirty percent of persons over 65 years fall at least once a year and are often not able to get up again unaided. The lack of timely aid can lead to severe complications such as dehydration, pressure ulcers and death. A camera based fall detection system can provide a solution. In this paper we compare four different fall features extracted from the dominant foreground object, as well...

We made an econometric analysis on consonants and characters after the establishment of Gesar epic classic version HorLing corpus. Firstly, we set up a 2-million-consonants corpus for further verification and comparison of the character frequency of HorLing. Secondly, we established the theory of Tibetan consonants combination rules and Tibetan theory consonants and wish the Tibetan theory cons...

Gorgias-B is a new tool that supports a methodology for the development of real life applications. It can be used by nonargumentation experts generating and testing automatically the target argumentation theory in Gorgias.

Security games are used to deploy limited security resources. Much work on the topic assumes that attackers have the perfect knowledge of defenders’ strategies. However, it is not always the case in real life because an attacker may worry he will be caught if he observes defender’s strategy on all targets. To address the issue, this paper proposes a new game model in which the attacker just sel...

If exergames are to be used successfully to improve physical function in senior citizens, they need to be designed specifically for this target group. Muscle strength and balance training are the key components of exercise to prevent falling in seniors. The aim of this study was to design a new, simplified exergame concept for senior citizens, which focuses on physical activity in general, and ...

Organizations use Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to monitor whether they aŠain their goals. Software vendors that supply generic software provide predefined KPIs in their software products for these organizations. However, each organization wants KPIs to be tailored to its specific goals. Œerefore, software vendors spend significant efforts on tailoring KPIs to organizations. Œat tailoring p...

The Scandinavian approach and the Participatory Design community has come a long way in terms of raising attention to include future users in the design and development of new technologies and in relation to making PD approaches applicable in real life projects. Based upon a case study of a in many ways successful project in the Danish healthcare sector we discuss issues in relation to particip...

Abstract. The variants of Cyclic Three Dimensional Matching problem is introduced in this paper, which studies about matching elements of three sets of elements. The problem is solved using solid assignment technique, considering the Preference value of members. The Reduction method is applied to the assignment table and the findings were discussed with the real life problems for better underst...

Matchmaking of human beings is recognized as a difficult task requiring great insight and sensitivity. In this paper, we present a case-based model that enlarges the number of relevant matches for any applicant. This model has been implemented in a working system for matches among either religious or traditional Jews in Israel. One implemented idea is the regular case-based retrieval, i.e. retr...

Learning by doing is a central way in which people acquire substantial expertise. It offers a number of advantages over other learning approaches. Most important, it avoids many aspects of the “inert knowledge” problem. Because principles are acquired through experience, the terms used to state those principles have clear referential meaning, at least within the scope of that experience. Learni...
