It is said that environmental problems are research dependent. Science is in these cases needed to identify a phenomenon such as climate change. New technologies can be characterized both by scientific uncertainties and research dependence (Yearley, 1996). An example of this is the case of biofuels. …

Dynamic plantar pressure images are routinely used in clinical gait assessment, and peak pressure, mean pressure, and pressure-time integral are the most frequently used parameters to summarize these images. Many studies report only one parameter, but other studies report all three. The interdependency …

Information dominance and superiority and network centric warfare are terms that have become part of the lexicon associated with the transformation of the military force in the 21st century. Also well-known are the four tenets of network centric warfare: 1. Arobustly networked force improves information …

This research report will analyse the European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive which is considered to be a very important legislative part of the energy efficiency activities of the European Union designed to meet the Kyoto commitments (reducing global warming) and reduce Europe's increasing …

'Information Operations' can only be understood in the broader context of change and continuity. 'Cyberspace' is, like land, sea, air and space, a dimension in which war can be waged. Where defence is a necessity while attack is a possibility. There is a close relationship between 'Information Based …

Abstract—In many biomechanical motion studies, kinematic parameters are estimated from position measurements on a number of landmarks. In the present investigation, dummy motion experiments are performed in order to study the error dependence of kinematic parameters on geometric factors (number of markers, …
