The next generation of human activity recognition applications in ubiquitous computing scenarios focuses on assessing the quality activities, which goes beyond mere identification activities interest. Objective assessments are often difficult to achieve, hard quantify, and typically require domain specific background information that bias overall judgement limit generalisation. In this paper we propose a framework for skill assessment enables automatic analysis activities. Our approach is...

Dupuytren's disease is a fibro-proliferative disorder affecting ~3-5% of the UK population. Current surgical treatments for contracture (DC) include fasciectomy and fasciotomy. We assessed clinical management DC in England over 5-year period; associated NHS costs were 1-year period. Hospital Episode Statistics extracted from April 2003 to March 2008 patients with Palmar Fascial Fibromatosis (ICD10 = M720) DC-related procedures. Variables included demographics, OPCS, patient status physician...

Human activity recognition (HAR), i.e., the automated detection and classification of specific activities that a person pursues, is one core concerns mobile ubiquitous computing. Multimodal sensing facilities modern devices allow for detailed capture contextual information, most importantly movement data recorded with inertial measurement units are now standard in devices. The majority HAR applications aim at automatically documenting when something interest has happened what was. For...

Gastric tonometry and intravesical pressure measurement were performed on eight babies born with gastroschisis for 72 hours after abdominal closure. Intravesical was not high. The gastric mucosal pco₂ pH remained stable closely matched arterial values. Tonometry may be a useful technique to monitor these babies.

Recent changes in the United States telecommunications industry — both regulatory and market driven provide an environment for integrating wireless wireline services infrastructure used to them. Changes have created competition local access, deregulation that allows bundling of one-stop shopping, multiple personal communication (PCS) licensees, each with desire differentiate its service offering value-added capabilities. Integrating enables providers offer a seamless wireless/wireline help...

The growing desire of network providers to introduce support for voice over IP (VoIP) has created interesting challenges in the area interoperability with existing wireless circuit networks. 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and 2 (3GPP2) standards have defined Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) as platform convergence. By definition, IMS is access agnostic; it provides services features through a common core network, regardless means transport. However, are just beginning address associated...

Abstract Over 50% of dogs in the USA are overweight or obese indicating that owners find it difficult to know how much food their dog needs. Feeding guidelines based on average energy requirements and do not take into account measured activity levels, which may lead overfeeding by well-intentioned owners. The most common published prediction equation is (RER*AF) where RER Resting Energy Requirement [70*(BW kg)0.75)] AF Activity Factor, generally ranges between 1 (body weight loss) 8 (heavy...

The growing market for wireless telecommunications services is resulting in a strong movement toward digitizing these services. Currently, three digital standards are specified. Each includes mobile switching center (MSC) as the centralized network and call control entity. MSC must be adaptable to variety of service environments, support broad range sophisticated end-user AT&T's 5ESS® Switch supports function two standards, an integral component AT&T product third standard.
