Der übergeordnete Begriff «Medien» wird mehr und mehr zu einem leeren Signifikanten. In Zeiten universitärer Reformen, …

The authors investigate performance of sensor selection schemes in a target tracking scenario. In current NLDA research on air and surface picture compilation with a network of naval radar systems a sensor selection approach is based on the Particle Filter target tracking technique and a minimisation …

Military sensors are being used to create situational awareness. In a process of multi sensor data fusion, a sensor grid containing a multitude of similar and different sensor types contributes to the overall awareness by gathering and combining input data. Such data fusion has been applied in numerous …

In a multi-sensory environment, supported with embedded computer technology, the system can capture and interpret what the users are doing and assist or collaborate with the users in real-time. Such an environment should be aware of users intentions, tasks and feelings, and allow people to interact with …

The exploitation of the metagenome for novel biocatalysts by functional screening is determined by the ability to express the respective genes in a surrogate host. The probability of recovering a certain gene thereby depends on its abundance in the environmental DNA used for library construction, the …
