"STiNG" is a Cache Coherent Non-Uniform Memory Access (CC-NUMA) Multiprocessor designed and built by Sequent Computer Systems, Inc. It combines four processor Symmetric Multi-processor (SMP) nodes (called Quads), using Scalable Interface (SCI) based coherent interconnect. The Quads are on the Intel P6 external bus it defines. In addition to 4 processors, each Quad may contain up GBytes of system memory, 2 Peripheral Component (PCI) busses for I/O, Lynx board. board provides datapath...
suing those who sold guns to our straw purchasers.Straw purchasers are lie about is the actual purchaser of gun, standing in for somebody could not pass a background check.Twenty-four most problematic dealers settled or were put under court monitor.Dr. Webster found that New York City likelihood recovering gun at crime scene from one these dropped almost overnight by 84 percent.Ninety-nine percent country do obey law; not, and ones we have go after.And results dramatic instantaneous.Our...
As the 2003 European heatwave demonstrated, overheating in homes can cause wide-scale fatalities. With temperatures and frequency predicted to increase due climate change, such events be expected become more common. Thus, investigating risk of buildings is key understanding scale problem designing solutions. Most work on this topic has been theoretical based lightweight dwellings that might overheat. By contrast, study collects temperature air quality data over two years for vulnerable...
Governments across the world are investing in smart metering devices that report energy use to user with aim of reducing consumption. However, effectiveness such In-Home Displays (IHDs) has been questioned, since savings small. This is possibly because informing consumer their consumption kWh, or monetary units, fails give context, inform possible actions reduce We investigate, for first time, effect replacing simple statement an IHD gives, a detailed array information specifically designed...
The shared online calendar is the de facto standard for event organisation and management in modern office environment. It also a potentially valuable source of context, provided data represent an accurate account 'real-world' events. However, as we show through field study, does not reality well genuine events are hidden by multitude reminders 'placeholders', i.e. that appear but do occur. We calendar's representation real can be significantly improved fusion with other sources namely...
The terms community development and lifelong learning have been in use for several decades refer to different areas within the field of adult education. This paper sets out explore relationship between these two concepts. It examines ways which work contributes an overall system Recent writing on idea society points towards a more holistic view education, acknowledges all its forms venues values many varied people learn. nature this rapidly changing demands that individuals communities take...

The reduction of energy use in buildings is a major component greenhouse gas mitigation policy and requires knowledge the fabric occupant behaviour. Hence there has been longstanding desire to automatic means identify these. Smart metres internet-of-things have potential do this. This paper describes study where ability inverse modelling building parameters evaluated for 6 monitored real 1000 simulated buildings. It was found that low-order models provide good estimates heat transfer...
The ENLITEN project aims to reduce carbon emissions attributable energy use within buildings -- particularly homes by understanding and influencing occupants' habits behaviours with respect use. To achieve this we are developing a system based on whole building model that, uniquely, integrates (i) thermal model, (ii) of requirements (iii) disaggregated in the dwelling. A "minimal sensor set" is being identified for delivery live data feed model. This will be complemented collection analysis...
The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in a variety of approaches for managing infection outbreaks international populations. One example is mobile phone applications, which attempt to alert infected individuals and their contacts by automatically inferring two key components risk: the proximity an individual who may be infected, duration proximity. former component, proximity, relies on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Received Signal Strength Indicator(RSSI) as distance sensor, this been shown...

We study the problem of designing sensor sets for capturing energy events in buildings. In addition to direct sensing methods, e.g. electricity and gas, it is often desirable monitor use occupant activity through other sensors such as temperature motion. However, practical constraints cost deployment requirements can limit choice, quantity quality that be distributed within each building, especially large-scale deployments. this paper, we present an approach select a set events, using...
This article reports on a research project exploring the relationship between community development and education in rural areas of Northern Ireland.

Mobile context-awareness is a popular research trend in the field ubiquitous computing. Advances mobile device sensory hardware and rise of 'virtual' sensors such as web APIs mean that user exposed to vast range data can be used for new advanced applications. This workshop allows industrial academic researchers present work focusing on novel methods context acquisition environment - particularly through use physical virtual along with into applications utilising this context. In addition,...

Recognising and learning users' semantically meaningful places is useful for personalising services recommender systems, particularly in a mobile environment. Existing approaches that use devices focus on automating place inference from underlying data, i.e. with little user interaction intervention -- where feedback incorporated into the process. The process of can be burdensome to but, without intervention, it difficult both capture personal semantics update over time; resulting trade-off...
