This experiment investigated the kansei information and movement characteristics that observers use to perceive expressions of joy in dance. Expressing joy with movements by dancers was recorded. Observers then rated words related to kansei and characteristics of the movements. The results of factor analyses and multiple regression analyses indicated that the expression of joy in dance has particular features. Joy in dance consists of gDynamics, h gExtensity, h gStability, h gFlowing, h gFlexion of the body, h gUpward extension of the limbs, h gForward movement, h gUpward movement, h gDiagonally forward locomotion, h and gWalking. h Stability, movements using space with little downward movement and more upward extension of the limbs, tended to have a greater effect on perceiving movements as expressing joy.

As a novel of multi-resolution analysis tool, the modified sharp frequency localized contour let transforms (MSFLCT) provides flexible multiresolution, anisotropy, and directional expansion for medical images. In this paper, we proposed a new fusion rule for multimodal medical images based on MSFLCT. The multimodal medical images are decomposed by MSFLCT. For the high-pass sub band, the weighted sum modified laplacian (WSML) method is used for choose the high frequency coefficients. For the low pass sub band, the maximum local energy (MLE) method is combined with "region" idea for low frequency coefficient selection. The final fusion image is obtained by applying inverse MSFLCT to fused low pass and high pass sub bands. Abundant experiments have been made on groups of multimodality datasets, both human visual and quantitative analysis show that the new strategy for attaining image fusion with satisfactory performance.

The Depot-Logistic Information Management System (DLIMS) is aimed to provide the Air Force logistics staff of all sectors with an information technology platform for convenience of management, supervision, aircraft maintenance, along with supply operations. The DLIMS in Taiwan has been established for more than 10 years. However, it has not been evaluated for its effectiveness. This study integrates service quality into Wixom and Todd (2005) model to evaluate the effectiveness of the DLIMS. A survey of 273 users of DLIMS was conducted to validate the proposed model. The research results show that the overall goodness-of-fit indices indicate a reasonable fit of the model and data. This study emphasizes the importance of integration of satisfaction theory and technology acceptance theory to comprehensively illustrate the effectiveness of DLIMS. The integrative viewpoint implies that DLIMS is not only a logistic information system but also a service provider to the Air Force. Accordingly, the professional staff officers IS department, logistics sectors and headquarters should value simultaneously object-based functions and service quality, in order to improve users' satisfaction, which in turn can promote users' behavioral beliefs and usage intention. The findings can be a reference for the Air Force logistics sectors to make policies as well as be a basis for evaluation of success and acceptance of military-related information system.

In this paper, we describe a novel image-based person identification task. Traditional face-based person identification methods have a low tolerance for occluded situation, such as overlapping of people in an image. We focus on an image from an overhead camera. Using the overhead camera reduces a restriction of the installation location of a camera and solves the problem of occluded images. In addition, we utilize depth information for the identification task. We apply four features to the identification method, (1) estimated body height, (2) estimated body dimensions, (3) estimated body size and (4) depth histogram. Experimental result shows the effectiveness of our method.

With the development of WSN applications, there is increasing concern for the research of WSN. The routing algorithm is one of the important supporting technologies of WSN. However, the current studies of routing algorithms focus on the single performance. For instance, the aim of Energy Multipath Routing Algorithm is to maximize the network life cycle. And the aim of the Minimal-hop routing algorithm is to minimize the network transmission delay. This paper synthesizes the three performance indicators, namely network life cycle, network latency and network reliability to propose a Self-adaptive Routing Algorithm (SARA). SARA could satisfy different network requirements by adjusting the parameters. The experimental result shows that SARA can reduce the network latency, extend the network lifecycle and enhance the network reliability compared with the Multi-path energy efficient algorithm.

In this paper, we present a scalable implementation of a topic modeling (Adaptive Link-IPLSA) based method for online event analysis, which summarize the gist of massive amount of changing tweets and enable users to explore the temporal trends in topics. This model also can simultaneously maintain the continuity of the latent semantics to better capture the time line development of events. With the help of this model, users can quickly grasp major topics in these twitters. The preliminary results show that our method leads to more balanced and comprehensive improvement for online event detection compared to benchmark approaches. Additionally our algorithm is computationally feasible in near real-time scenarios making it an attractive alternative for capturing the rapidly changing dynamics of microblogs.

It has recently been recognized that a method of evaluating audio-visual systems from the viewpoint of Kansei information is necessary for the development of high-presence audio-visual equipment. In this work, it is shown that the Kandoh, which is one aspect of Kansei information that considers various emotions, evoked by audio materials depends on the channel configuration of multichannel audio (MCA). Audio materials reproduced by eight loudspeaker arrangements (fourteen reproduction conditions) were evaluated by using a Kandoh grading scale. Then, a model to estimate the degree to which Kandoh is emphasized by spatial sound impressions is proposed. The relationship between the degree of Kandoh and the physical properties of the reproduced sound was investigated using multiple regression analysis. As a result, the degree of Kandoh could be estimated from physical properties.

Learning is essential for an autonomous agent to adapt to an environment. One method that can be used is learning through trial and error. However, it is impractical because of the long learning time required when the agent learns in a complex environment. Therefore, some guidelines are necessary to expedite the learning process in a complex environment. Imitation of the behavior of other agents who have already adapted to the environment would shorten an agent's learning time. Thus, imitation can be used by agents as a guideline for learning. In this study, we propose a computational model of imitation and autonomous behavior. We expect that an agent can reduce its learning time through imitation. The actions that an agent performs are represented by a set of features such as the type, location, and object of an action. The agent tends to imitate the similar actions of other agents, and the similarity between actions is calculated, which is indicative of the importance of each feature. The proposed model is evaluated using a dining table simulator. The experimental results indicate that the proposed model can adapt to the environment faster than a baseline model that learns only through trial and error, and that the proposed model can shorten the learning time further if the importance of each feature can be adjusted by learning.
