This review has examined research in mobile computing from a developer's perspective. The review was underpinned by the assumption that mobile computing has accentuated factors compared to stationary computing that ought to be managed to harness the possibilities of mobile computing. Applying a developer's perspective rendered a certain interest in design-oriented research, i.e. prescriptive resea

The global spread of mobile phones provides developing countries with new opportunities to spark economic growth and to improve the quality of life of their people. One specific service that emerged in this context is mobile money. Widely recognized as the most successful example is the service M-PESA in Kenya. In 2013 Kenya introduced a 10% excise fee on all financial transaction fees, including

BACKGROUND: During the last 5 years, there has been an increase in the use of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) to treat knee osteoarthritis in Australia, and these account for almost 6% of annual knee replacement procedures. However, there is debate as to whether a fixed bearing or a mobile bearing design is best for decreasing revision for loosening and disease progression as well as impr

Cognitive robots have started to find their way into manufacturing halls. However, the full potential of these robots can only be exploited through an integration into the automation pyramid so that the system is able to communicate with the manufacturing execution system (MES). Integrating the robot with the MES allows the robot to get access to manufacturing environment and process data so that Cognitive robots have started to find their way into manufacturing halls.

Tuning an ideal PID and then using its parameters in a real one, can yield undesired results. Nonetheless, many rules conceived for the ideal PID are successfully used in practice, owing to their greater flexibility. A systematic method would thus be useful to extend ideal PID tuning rules to the real PID, so as to preserve said flexibility while synthesising a realistic controller. This manuscrip

Ett team av kliniska forskare i Lund, Sverige, fann att elektromagnetisk strålning, motsvarande den som används i mobil kommunikation, även vid låga SAR-effektvärden, gör att hes Fischer-344 råttor blodalbumin läcker genom blod-hjärnbarriären "BBB" in i hjärnvävnaden .Studierna utfördes vid Lunds universitet av:Neurokirurgerna: Leif Salford MD, PhD professor em„ Henrietta Nittby MD, PhD,Neuropatol

Mobile robots and robotic manipulators have traditionally been used separately performing different types of tasks. For example, industrial robots have typically been programmed to follow trajectories using position sensors. If combining the two types of robots and adding sensors new possibilities emerge. This enables new applications, but it also raises the question of how to combine the sensors

We have investigated CO adsorption at 300 K on ∼ 1.5 atomic layer thick Pd films on a Mo(110) surface by high-resolution core level photoemission. We describe how high-resolution core level spectroscopy may be utilized to study the influence of laterally mobile states on the sticking probability of molecules on such a laterally heterogeneous surface. The present Pd films are laterally heterogeneou

Användningen av smarta telefoner och områden i vilka smarta telefonlösningar erbjuds, har ökat drastiskt det senaste decenniet. Det område som däremot inte har varit lika benäget att anta detta tillvägagångssätt är restaurangbranschen. Målet med denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur villiga användare är att anpassa sig till detta tillvägagångssätt och beskriver de krav och önskemål av en sådaThe use of smart phones and the areas in which smart phone solutions are provided have increased immensely over the past decade. However, one area which has not been as keen of adopting the smart phone approach is the restaurant area. This study aims to investigate the amenability of users to adapt to this approach and outlines the requirements and desires of such a product. It also presents a sol

The aim of this thesis is to identify a speaker in a video stream by only using the camera of a smartphone. This creates the opportunity for a mobile application to track the speaking participant during a conference call. Conference systems that include this feature use a microphone array to localize sound and who the speaker is. Mobile phones however, are generally not equipped with a microphone

In this paper, a joint perception framework combining fixed and mobile cameras is proposed, which can achieve accurate real-time positioning of the mobile camera in a unified coordinate system. The system integrates VGGT for high-precision pose estimation and combines it with MASt3r-SLAM for robust real-time tracking. Alignment between different coordinate systems is achieved through rotation matr

With globalization, more and more companies are becoming multisited. Efficient and timely collaboration and communication among the development team members become critical for product success. This paper proposes a web-based virtual environment for mobile phone customization, named VMPDS (Virtual Mobile Phone Design Space). The features of this system include the combination of web technology and

Wizard of Oz methodology is useful when conducting user studies of a system that is in early development. It is essential to be able to simulate part of the system and to collect feedback from potential users. Using a human to act as the system is one way to do this. The Wizard of Oz tool presented here is called WozARd and it aims at offering a set of tools that help the test leader control the

This paper describes a novel tool for eliciting user requirements early in the design process of mobile applications. The "Mobile Oracle", as we have called it, is intended to help developers and designers obtain a better understanding of what the user wants at different points in space and time. It is an extension of a lo-fi version of the well-established Wizard of Oz technique, but it adds an "
