Real-Time Monitoring of Landslides

by Mark E. Reid, Richard G. Lahusen, Rex L. Baum, Jason W. Kean, William H. Schulz, Lynn M. Highl
"... Landslides cause fatalities and property damage throughout the Nation. To reduce the impact from hazardous landslides, the U.S. Geological Survey develops and uses real-time and near-real-time landslide monitoring systems. Monitoring can detect when hillslopes are primed for sliding and can provide ..."

Self-determination and persistence in a real-life setting: Toward a motivational model of high school dropout.

by Robert J Vallerand , Michelle S Fbrtier , Frederic Guay - Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, , 1997
"... The purpose of this study was to propose and test a motivational model of high school dropout. The model posits that teachers, parents, and the school administration's behaviors toward students influence students' perceptions of competence and autonomy. The less autonomy supportive the so ..."

"... constraints. The duration of activities is based on historical data (similar work done in the past) or an estimation done by someone in the company (e.g., project manager, project engineer, or super-intendent). Construction duration is estimated by using the following formula: Because the quantity o ..."

an advanced productivity measurement system that will overcome mentioned shortfalls. RESEARCH OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE The first objective was to develop the wireless real-time productiv-ity measurement (WRITE) system that is capable of measuring on-site construction productivity. The second objective

A Survey on Temporal Coherence Methods in Real-Time Rendering

by Daniel Scherzer, Michael Wimmer , Elmar Eisemann, et al. , 2011
"... Nowadays, there is a strong trend towards rendering to higher-resolution displays and at high frame rates. This development aims at delivering more detail and better accuracy, but it also comes at a significant cost. Although graphics cards continue to evolve with an ever-increasing amount of comput ..."

of computational power, the processing gain is counteracted to a high degree by increasingly complex and sophisticated pixel computations. For real-time applications, the direct consequence is that image resolution and temporal resolution are often the first candidates to bow to the performance constraints (e

Real-Time Spectral Scene Lighting on a Fragment Pipeline

by Bernardt Duvenhage
"... Real-time desktop computer graphics systems have historically been based on empirical lighting models, such as the Phong lighting model, designed to be perceptually appropriate, but computationally efficient. New hardware developments since early 2003 have resulted in an affordable fourth generation ..."

MPEG-4 for Interactive Low-delay Real-time Communication

by Olaf L, Gary Minden , 2003
"... ii Internet broadcasting techniques are wide spread and have been the focus off many research projects. Due to high transmission delays these systems often lack interactivity. This thesis introduces a new streaming system to deliver real-time video and audio data with low-delays across the Internet. ..."

"... ABSTRACT This article aims at proposing some elements for a grounded theor y of the network society. The network society is the social structure characteristic of the Information Age, as tentatively identi ed by empirical, cross-cultural investigation. It permeates most societies in the world, in v ..."
