The purpose of this paper is to describe a new emerging science: Internet science. This paper argues that current Internet is a direct by-product of Shannon's Information theory and its master thesis. After that I attempt a general and generic definition of a network and discuss the different alternatives. This discussion results in defining a network as a set of distributed actors cooperating for...
This paper presents a robust and fully-automatic human motion tracking system without motion priors information using a camera in a fixed location. Bottom-up estimation approaches have recently been applied to such tasks with some success. However, the performance of these approaches is limited by the difficulty of building an effective appearance model. In particular, the appearance model must be...
Circadian rhythm is the biological process critical to the well being of all living organisms. The circadian rhythms oscillate with a period of approximately 24 hours due to the light-darkness pattern of the solar day. Circadian disruption, as experienced by night shift workers, travelers, submariners or miners, can lead to lower productivity, sleep disorder, and other more serious health problems...
In this paper, we propose a general framework to evaluate models of systems that are ill defined, incompletely known, and furthermore, which cannot be experimented in real conditions, such as the economical systems at the country scale, epidemics (for obvious ethical reasons) or any natural disasters, for instance where human lives are the main issue. Our framework relies on the generic Marvin Minsky's...
Mind is a compound information handling and processing mechanism and consciousness — (the processed information) is the core component of mind. The spirit of consciousness is definite correspondence between substance with some rules or laws. Information processed in the mind approaching from both the outer world (physical world) and the inner world (mind). The information can be represented in many...
Artificial society is the mapping and abstraction of large-scale complex systems (especially social systems), which has numerous complex characteristics such as diversity and dynamic evolution. It is also the basic part of ACP approach (Artificial societies for modelling, Computations experiments for analysis, Parallel execution for control, which is a methodology in social computing). Thus, artificial...
With the fast development of national economy, human beings' needs resources and the environment are higher and higher. Therefore it is great important to acquire the information of the present situation and changes of the resources promptly, to protect and to develop sustainable for the resources and ecological environment precisely and dynamically. This paper gives a brief introduction on the GIS...
Located in the Western Hubei eco-tourism circle, the Wudangshan Tourism and Economic Special Zone, has beautiful scenery and good natural environment. The ecological protection will become especially important. Therefore, it is very significant to research on ecological land of the Special Zone. The types of ecological land use were first defined in the article. Then, various types of land use changes...
Adoption of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by enterprises has become a norm. CSR has achieved great traction in its endeavor to do social good for the society at large. Though the main purpose of existence of business is to maximize shareholder's wealth, CSR provides an opportunity for enterprises to leverage upon the existing technological advances in the creation of a better society. However,...
We propose a model-based approach for human body pose recognition from a single-view depth camera. The proposed algorithm applies an articulated cylinder model to detect human pose and track them based on a particle filter without numerous training data or heuristic detectors. To reduce high degrees of freedom, we adopt a hierarchical method that detects torso and limbs successively. Moreover, we...
We propose the dynamical model describing the effect of boredom in the human learning process. It is shown numerically that the instability may appear in the dynamics of the system corresponding to the simple case of the single agent performing repeated choice between two alternatives. The discovered patterns of the periodic preference oscillations confirm that the model under consideration could...
Simultaneously considering the physical interaction between the user and the robot within safety and performance constraints in rehabilitation and human walking situations, this paper proposes a new backdrivable torsion spring actuator (BTSA) with hybrid control that switches between direct electromyography (EMG) biofeedback control and zero impedance control, to provide a novel rehabilitation training...
Human body communication is expected as a new human interface for communications among several persons. Thus, it is necessary to analyze the transmission characteristics between human bodies. In this paper, we compared the transmission characteristics between transmitter and receiver in the viewpoint of contact situation between two bodies. Moreover, the effect of receiver position on transmission...
The aim of this work is to highlight the paramount importance of the availability of an electromagnetic model for the design of system based on electromagnetic radiation for search and rescue operation of humans buried under different materials as debris, and snowslide. In this contribution the monitoring of the breathing activity of a man buried into a homogeneous lossy medium has been analyzed....
Understanding functional synaptic connectivity of human central nervous system is one of the holy grails of the neuroscience. Due to the complexity of nervous system, it is common to reduce the problem to smaller networks such as motor unit pathways. In this sense, we designed and developed a simulation model that learns acting in the same way of human single motor units by using findings on human...
Social networks are social structures derived from general human societies based upon certain scope or relationships. People in social networks, rather than behaving randomly, are highly organized and cooperative. To study evolutions of social networks, existing random graph theories only provide global views on network evolutions. Nevertheless, the evolutions of a social network should be examined...
In order to develop computational methods for determining the reaction of biological systems exposed to THz radiation, conventional approaches of numerical dosimetry have to be extended. The penetration depth of electromagnetic fields at THz frequencies is less than 1 mm and thus substantially smaller than for radio frequencies. In addition, the short wavelengths in this frequency range cause the...
This paper presents a study of the power frequency magnetic field radiations to cardiac pacemakers. An axis-symmetric homogeneous human body with implanted cardiac pacemaker is used. Different arrangements of vertical 3-phase power cables and body orientations are investigated by Finite Element Method (FEM); results have shown that the flat arrangement of the vertical 3-phase power cables could induce...
The implications of exposure to electromagnetic waves for human health are a subject of rising concern. Numerical simulations using anatomically realistic computational human models have recently been performed for electromagnetic dosimetry simulation. However, most of these computational models are reference (average) models. In this study, we present a shape-deformable human model to which we applied...
Electrostatic discharge or spark may occur before the human touches a metallic object with different electrical potential. The current may stimulate muscle and peripheral nerves. The in-situ electric fields are computed and compared in anatomically based models of adults and child due to contact current from charged human body. Frequency-dependent finite-difference time-domain method was used, in...
