Materials for an exploratory theory of the network society.
- The British Journal of Sociology
, 2000
"... 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 ..."

General Purpose Computing on Low-Power Embedded GPUs: Has It Come of Age?
"... Abstract — In this paper we evaluate the promise held by lowpower GPUs for non-graphic workloads that arise in embedded systems. Towards this, we map and implement 5 benchmarks, that find utility in very different application domains, to an embedded GPU. Our results show that apart from accelerated ..."

performance, embedded GPUs are promising also because of their energy efficiency which is an important design goal for battery-driven mobile devices. We show that adopting the same optimization strategies as those used for programming high-end GPUs might lead to worse performance on embedded GPUs. This is due
User-Friendly Menu for New-Age Mobile Phones
"... Even the quick peek at the specs of upcoming or currently most popular mobile phones makes you come to a conclusion that they are getting physically thinner, yet taller and wider even though technology is getting smaller. Screen size is the main reason for this. As many manufacturers surpass 3.5 ” d ..."

Original Article Research Practice Can a Body-Fixed Sensor Reduce Heisenberg’s Uncertainty When It Comes to the Evaluation of Mobility? Effects of Aging and Fall Risk on Transitions in Daily Living
"... Background. Functional performance-based tests like the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) and its subtasks have been associated with fall risk, future disability, nursing home admission, and other poor outcomes in older adults. However, a single measurement in the laboratory may not fully reflect the subje ..."

(idiopathic) fallers were studied. After evaluating mobility and functional performance in the laboratory, participants wore an accelerometer on their lower back for 3 days. We analyzed the sit-to-walk and walk-to-sit transitions using temporal and distribution-related features. Machine learning algorithms
