Environment sensing systems and positioning systems such as GPS (Global Positioning System) are requirements for logistics supply chains, especially refrigerated cargo systems that require environment sensing data. In this paper, we state our system requirements and compare our proposed solution with other existing solutions. Our proposed system focuses on the cold chain tracking system to provide locations of vehicles and monitor the temperature of refrigerated cargo carried by the vehicles. The system includes Android phones with GPS module on the vehicles, a website for the visual control by using Google Map API, and a web service acts as a bridge between Android phones and database.

In social based Web services systems, some resources gain popularity while others do not. It would be valuable if we can predict the popularity of certain resource. In this work, we study the recipe popularity prediction problem using the Yelp dataset. We investigate various features that can be extracted and help to improve the performance. In particular, we propose to do the sentiment analysis over the reviews and treat the sentimental scores as one of the features. A polynomial regression model is developed to predict the recipe popularity. The experimental results show that our proposed method outperforms the baseline method.

In the hippocampus of rodents, rhythmic electroencephalographic (EEG) activity at 4-12 Hz (theta activity) is observed when the animal is running. Although it has been reported that the theta activity is modulated by various sensory stimuli, the contribution of the visual feedback has not fully understood. In this study, we analyzed the relationship between the locomotion speed and the hippocampal theta activity of freely behaving mice in a virtual environment. It was found that the frequency and the amplitude of the theta activity were correlated with the locomotion speed of the mouse in the virtual space as well as in the real open field. When the visual feedback was switched-off, the frequency and the amplitude of the theta activity were slightly decreased without changing the proportionality constant of the locomotion speed. These data indicate the contribution of the visual feedback to the hippocampal theta activity.

Investment in healthcare information technology (HIT) in the United States has grown drastically in recent years, but despite significant investment, clinician satisfaction with HIT remains low. High risks, conflicting interests, and regulatory hurdles make healthcare a daunting environment in which to introduce change, and benefits from increased spend have yet to be realized. In this paper we present an approach to implementing awareness computing in healthcare, to orchestrate the environment for clinicians and gain computing, power, and workflow efficiencies in many areas. The solution couples a unifying communications protocol with a distributed network of "aware units"-each capable of functioning in disparate systems - all communicating with centralized data gathering and logic processing core. The system is capable of delivering an intelligently orchestrated (i.e., "awareness") computing experience to users, even as they use systems never designed to interoperate. This system is currently in use in hospitals across the US, and advanced features are being tested in hospital pilot projects and in partnerships with academic medical centers.

This paper reports a computational method to develop silicon padding to be inserted into the low pressure areas of a custom designed pressure garment to obtain a more uniform pressure distribution. The padding was developed by using digital scanned data of patient body. The custom designed paddings and corresponding pressure garments are constructed for a number of subjects, and experimentally tested and verified by comparing the pressure measured using the customized pressure garment with and without padding. The results show that the custom made pressure garment paddings help to increase the pressure close to the specific design pressure in the low pressure regions, leading to a much more uniform pressure application to the whole of the affected body part, which in turn offers an advantage for the healing process and the prevention of the formation of scar tissue due to burn injury.

Web service clustering is an efficient approach to address some challenges in service computing area such as discovering and recommending. To cluster the Web services, we need to filter the similar services. Key operation of filtering process is measuring the similarity of services. There are several methods used in current similarity calculation approaches such as keyword, information retrieval, ontology and hybrid methods. However, these approaches do not consider the context when measuring the similarity. So these approaches failed to capture the semantic of terms, which exist under a certain domain. In this paper, we propose context aware similarity method, which uses search results from search engines and support vector machine. Then, we apply Associated Keyword Space (ASKS) algorithm which is effective for noisy data and projected results from a three-dimensional (3D) sphere to a two dimensional (2D) spherical surface for 2D visualization to filter the services. Experimental results show our filtering approach is able to filter services based on domain and plot the result on sphere. Also our approach performs better than the existing approaches. Further, our approach aids to search Web services by visualization of the service data on a spherical surface.

Interactive table-top interfaces are multimedia devices which allow sharing information visually and aurally among several users. Table-top interfaces for spatial sound environments are frequently investigated in the field of the human interfaces. Table-top interfaces are utilized as groupware and it is suitable for collaborative work, and it is convenient for a group working on theme related to sound systems. A representative of table-top musical instrument is the reacTable. In this paper, we present a way to control the position of multiple sounds in a spatial sound environment via a table-top interface. Sound localization is required to discriminate and recognize clearly sounds. We have been investigating musical table-top instruments which are capable of controlling multiple sound in spatial sound environments. One of the main features of this new developed system is that multiple users can control the spatialization of independently sounds in real-time. We verified changes of user recognition to multi-sound with a spatial sound environment.

The shadows of pedestrians decrease the tracking performance dramatically in video surveillance. This paper presents a method of shadow removal to improve the accuracy of pedestrian detection and tracking in indoor environments. The proposed method can be divided into four steps: build a background model which can be automatically updated, extract moving objects region, eliminate moving objects shadows, classify and track pedestrians in moving objects region from which shadows have been eliminated. In this work, we propose a methodology using the foreground frames without shadows to detect and track the pedestrians across training datasets. Experimental results show that our approach is capable of dealing with shadows and detecting moving pedestrians in cluttered environment. It indicates that this proposal can improve the performance of indoor pedestrians tracking.
