In this paper, we propose a motion estimation algorithm using hierarchical structure. The algorithm uses the image pyramids from the repetitive application of Gaussian filtering and decimation, and performs an inter-level displacement propagation in its motion estimation process. The motion estimation algorithm based on the hierarchical structure is shown to be very effective since this scheme utilizes the local imformation as well as the global imformation. The experimental results on the various data imdicate that compared to the Horn and Schunck's method, the proposed algorithm yields an accurate motion estimation with a fast convergence behaviour.

A systematic synthesis process is presented for the simulation of current-controlled grounded inductors. The process is used to obtain three circuits which are believed to be novel. One of the circuits has been implemented using linear operational transconductance amplifiers (OTA's). Computer simulation rusults are used to verify theoretical predictions. The results show close agreement between predicted behaviour and experimental performance.

In stereo vision applications, disparity estimation is often performed to corresponding pixels. Using window-based correlations is a fast and standard approach to the disparity estimation. In this paper, we analyse the behaviour of the correlation-based disparity estimation and improve its performance by combining it with a segmentation scheme. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm provides faithful disparity maps.

The Operational Deflection Shape designates the motion pattern by which a structure vibrates under a specific operating condition. Modal Analysis is usually tested under test bench, but Operational Deflection Shape can be measured directly under real operating condition. It provide useful information for trouble-shooting and aid understanding and evaluation of the absolute dynamic behaviour of a machine or component. In this paper, It is analysed Excavator Upper Frame using Operating Deflection Shape.

The temporal structure of events on the discourse level has long been of great interest in both theoretical and computational linguistics. In this paper, we offer a unified approach to the temporal relationships related to a hierarchical discourse structure. We apply the method of pronoun resolution to the interpretation of tense. It is based on an analysis within the framework of the controlled information packaging theory. A unique aspect of our account is that temporal interpretation across discourse segments in global discourse is subject to the same principles as the interpretation of global anaphora, and that there is thus no need to postulate independent principles to account for the discourse behaviour of tense. In this way, we can neatly explain the general view that tense parallels the anaphoric nature of pronouns.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the information needs and information seeking behavior of foreign students. A survey method was used for the undertaken study. The data were collected using a structured questionnaire, self-administered to 120 foreign students (60 males & 60 females) with 88 (47 males & 41 females) returns. The research is limited to post-graduate, M.Phil. and Ph.D. foreign students in University of Delhi. It was found that post-graduate students need information regarding their program of study while research scholars need information for writing research articles and for doing their research work. Most of them seek information through the internet. Research scholars used electronic resources such as databases, e-journals and e-theses and dissertations. 88.6% of the respondents also use books for seeking information. Their use of the library is limited with complaints about library staff and too few computer terminals. The present study will be helpful in designing new systems and services for the foreign students so that their information needs can be fulfilled easily. Further, findings of the study indicate that how the library professionals should assist foreign students to accomplish their information needs.

This study investigated how self-rated health and socioeconomic status are associated with behaviour of cancer survivors regarding desire for information. For this association, we compared survivors who did not seek information about cancer with those who did. We examined how sociodemographic, socioeconomic, cancerrelated, and health information factors are associated with self-rated health (SRH) by health information seeking/avoiding behavior in a survey of 502 post-treatment cancer patients. In the information seeking group, all four factors exhibited significant relationships with SRH. SRH values were significantly high for women (p<0.05), non-Hispanic White (p<0.05), and educated (p<0.01) participants, and for those who had high self-efficacy to use health information by themselves (p<0.01). Furthermore, in the information avoiding group, not only were there no significant relationships between socioeconomic status (SES) and SRH, but there were negative associations between their attitude/capacity and the SRH. In terms of communication equity, the promotion of information seeking behavior can be an effective way to reduce health disparities that are caused by social inequalities. Information avoiding behavior, however, does not exhibit a negative contribution toward the relationship between SRH and SES. Information seeking behavior was positively associated with SRH, but avoiding behavior was not negatively associated. We thus need to eliminate communication inequalities using health intervention to support information seeking behavior, while simultaneously providing support for avoiders.

This study discusses the meanings of nationality in information behaviour. In this study nationality was represented by citizenship and group personality(here, dependency) Surveys were conducted for data collection, and a questionnaire were completed by 331 participants(158 Korean students and 183 Japanese students). Simple frequency tests and chi-square tests were conducted to examine the proposed relation between citizenship and information behavior, that between dependency and information behavior. Also conducted was two-way ANOVA test to examine the relative significance of two independent variables(citizenship and dependency) in information behavior. The results of chi-square tests showed that both variables have statistically significant relationship with information behavior although the relationship was partially significant. And the results of ANOVA test showed that between the two variables, citizenship was more significant than dependency.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between users' preferences of Personality types and their attitude towards patterns of Web OPAC use mainly focus on their search behaviour and their preferences for the interface. Data res collected through the MBTI test and self-designed online questionnaire. The original MBTI personality types were re-coded into 4 categories of preferences of personality types, that is, E(Extraversion), I(Introversion), S(Sensing), N(iNtuition), T(Thinking)-F(Feeling), and J(Judging)-P(Perception) and then analysed their correlation with patterns of Web OPAC use by Person's correlation coefficient (r) in SPSS Windows Ver. 11.0. It is noteworthy that 9 out of 28 factors of Web OPAC search behaviour and preferences for interfaces show statistically significant correlation with users' MBTI preferences of personality types.

Emergent process or behaviour can be seen in many places, from any multicellular biological organism to traffic patterns, cities or organizational phenomena in computer simulations. Similarly, the concept of 'Green IT' refers to the way complex systems and patterns arise inevitably among groups due to environmental concerns in real world. Green IT has good possibility to evolve as very chaotic system, in which the number of interactions between components increases geometrically with the number of components, thus potentially allowing for many new types of behaviour to emerge. However, when Green IT system regards as a complexity one, there exits some attractors to derive and control the system. In this context, this paper presents a new model based on type-2 fuzzy logic system to identify and assess the attractors of Green IT system which correspond to Reach-Richness matrix of Green IT.
