Abstract. Electromagnetic tracking is currently the only available technology to track flexible instruments inside the human body without the use of real time imaging technology s...
We propose conditions in which an autonomous agent could arise, and increase in complexity. It is assumed that on the primitive Earth there arose a recycling flow-reactor containi...
The recent advanced representation for realistic real-world materials in virtual reality applications is the Bidirectional Texture Function (BTF) which describes rough texture app...
—In this paper, we propose a vibration driven energy harvesting platform based on piezoelectric material. A new maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method for this platform is al...
Data warehouses store materialized views over base data from external sources. Clients typically perform complex read-only queries on the views. The views are refreshed periodical...
