This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Artificial Reality and Telexistence, ICAT 2006, held in Hangzhou, China in November/December 2006. The 138 revised papers cover anthropomorphic intelligent robotics, artificial life, augmented reality, distributed and collaborative VR system, motion tracking, real time computer simulation virtual reality, as well as VR interaction and navigation techniques.
Fish have been a major component of our diet and it has been suggested that fish/seafood consumption contributed to the development of the human brain, and this together with the acquisition of bipedalism, perhaps made us what we are. In the modern context global fish consumption is increasing. However, unlike our other staples, until a few years back the greater proportion of our fish supplies were of a hunted origin. This scenario is changing and a greater proportion of fish we consume now is of farmed origin. Aquaculture, the farming of waters, is thought to have originated in China, many millennia ago. Nevertheless, it transformed into a major food sector only since the second half of th...
In the early 1990s artist Xu Bing stamped two pigs with respectively nonsensical Latin words and fake Chinese characters and allowed them to mate in an art gallery. The performance of ‘two creatures, devoid of human consciousness, yet carrying on their bodies the marks of human civilization’, engaging in the ‘most primal form of social intercourse’ confronted the public with the tension between nature and civilization. The work also addresses the tension between China and the West and therefore perfectly fits the core message of this book. Contemporary art in China takes place in a post-socialist (post-Mao) context, and at the same time a post-traditional one, searching for balance b...
This volume, in conjunction with the two volumes LNCS 4681 and LNAI 4682, constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Intelligent Computing held in Qingdao, China, in August 2007. The conference sought to establish contemporary intelligent computing techniques as an integral method that underscores trends in advanced computational intelligence and links theoretical research with applications.
This book constitutes revised selected papers from the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the Second International Human Centered Computing Conference, HCC 2016, that consolidated and further develops the successful ICPCA/SWS conferences on Pervasive Computing and the Networked World, and which was held in Colombo, Sri Lanka, in January 2016. The 58 full papers and 30 short papers presented in this volume together with one keynote talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 211 submissions. These proceedings present research papers investigating into a variety of aspects towards human centric intelligent societies. They cover the categories: infrastructure and devices; service and solution; data and knowledge; and community.
This book gathers a selection of peer-reviewed papers presented at the first Big Data Analytics for Cyber-Physical System in Smart City (BDCPS 2019) conference, held in Shengyang, China, on 28–29 December 2019. The contributions, prepared by an international team of scientists and engineers, cover the latest advances made in the field of machine learning, and big data analytics methods and approaches for the data-driven co-design of communication, computing, and control for smart cities. Given its scope, it offers a valuable resource for all researchers and professionals interested in big data, smart cities, and cyber-physical systems.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Joint International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Web Society, ICPCA/SWS 2013, held in Vina de Mar, Chile, in December 2013. The 56 revised full papers presented together with 29 poster papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 156 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on infrastructure and devices; service and solution; data and knowledge; as well as community.
This new volume of Methods in Enzymology continues the legacy of this premier serial by containing quality chapters authored by leaders in the field. The first of 2 volumes covering nucleosomes, histones and chromatin, it has chapters on methods applied to the study of protein arginine methylation, high-resolution identification of intra- and interchromosomal DNA interactions by 4C technology, and peptide arrays to interrogate the binding specificity of chromatin-binding proteins.
