Although economically more meaningful than the alternatives, short rate models have been dismissed for financial engineering applications in favor of market models as the latter are more flexible and best suited to cluster computing implementations. In this paper, we argue that the paradigm...

This contribution describes a parallel approach for determining the collision state of a large collection of ellipsoids. Collision detection is required in granular dynamics simulation where it can combine with a differential variational inequality solver or discrete element method to...

Background: Safety is the very necessary issue that must be considered during human-robot collaboration in the same workspace or area. Methods: In this manuscript, a nonlinear autoregressive model with an exog-enous inputs neural network (NARXNN) is developed for the detection of collisions...

Purpose The safety performance of cooperative robots is particularly important. This paper aims to study collision detection and response of cooperative robots, which meet the lightweight requirements of cooperative robots and help to ensure the safety of humans and robots....

Der Personal Health Manager (PHM) ist ein IT-gestütztes Bewegungsprogrammum körperlich inaktive Menschen an einen aktiveren Lebensstil heranzuführen.Für den PHM wurden Software, Hardware, persönliche und computervermittelteDienstleistungen zu einer kostengünstigen und...

Wir präsentieren ein Konzept für ein NFC-basiertes Ernährungsmanagement für Patienten mit amyotropher Lateralskle-rose (ALS) zur Verbesserung der Lebensqualität durch vereinfachte Selbst- und Fremdüberwachung und zur Optimie-rung der Abstimmungsprozesse zwischen Patient, Arzt und...

In this paper we describe mobile virtual healthcare communities as a solution for meeting cancerpatients information and interaction needs1. After an introduction into the healthcare system and itspotential starting points for virtual communities we focus on cancer patients. We analyse...
