Neuromuscular fatigue is believed to be a contributing factor to injury in athletic situations. To examine this idea, it is necessary to establish functional fatigue models that are representative of the type of physical ...
Food authenticity studies are concerned with determining if food samples have been correctly labelled or not. Discriminant analysis methods are an integral part of the methodology for food authentication. Motivated by food ...
Many recent approaches to modeling social networks have focussed on embedding
the actors in a latent “social space”. Links are more likely for actors that are
close in social space than for actors that are distant in ...
Virtual reality-based computer games may be a
useful way to develop motor skills and increase activity levels in
children. We have developed an interactive computer platform
where users must tilt a wobble board to ...
Many documented instances of existing research on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) use deployments that either fall short of, or barely meet, the resource requirements of the application. In this paper, it is envisaged that ...
Collaborative or “Social” filtering has been successfully deployed over the years as a technique for analysing large amounts of user-preference knowledge to predict interesting items for an individual user. The black-box ...
The Mobile Web promises a new age of anytime, anywhere information access to billions of users across the globe. However, the Mobile Internet represents a challenging information access environment, particularly from a ...
Increasingly, in our everyday lives, we rely on our ability to access and understand complex information. Just as the search engine played a key role in helping people access relevant information, there is evidence that ...
Wearable sensor systems require an interactive and communicative interface for the user to interpret data in a meaningful way. The development of adaptive personalization features in a visualization tool for such systems ...
This paper introduces a multidisciplinary research effort to design an interactive, real time system to assist rehabilitation of stroke patients. The proposed system aims to help stroke survivors with limited mobility to ...
Remarkable advances in weather forecasts
during the past half-century
have brought great benefits to humanity.
Accurate forecasts save many
lives, and early warnings mitigate
the worst effects of extreme weather
events, ...
Collaborative Web search (CWS) is a community-based approach to Web search that supports the sharing of past result selections among a group of related searchers so as to personalize result-lists to reflect the preferences ...
Collaborative filtering (CF) techniques have proved to be a powerful and popular component of modern recommender systems.
Common approaches such as user-based and item-based methods generate predictions from the past ...
Traditionally, social interaction research has concentrated on either fully virtually embodied agents (e.g. embodied conversational agents) or fully physically embodied agents (e.g. robots). For some time, however, both ...
In humans, TPα and TPβ isoforms of the thromboxane A2 receptor are transcriptionally regulated by distinct promoters, designated Prm1 and Prm3. Previous investigations identified two upstream repressor regions (URR) 1 and ...
The genesis of hydrothermal ore deposits is of crucial economic importance. This study investigates the extent, causes and consequences of zinc and iron isotope fractionation in a large hydrothermal system at the world-class ...
