Ethical and Legal Issues in Transitioning the Lifespan
November 29, 2009 | Comments Off
p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”Ethics and law are pivotal inventions for managing stress throughout the life cycle, especially at critical junctures of key
life event and stage-of-life transitions. Perhaps this proposition seems improbable, if not patently preposterous, in part,
because stress is mostly regarded as a medical event and a psychological challenge rather than an ethicolegal problem. Or
perhaps the logic appears ironic, as ethical quandary and the entire edifice of law, litigation, and administration of justice
is perceived by many of us as a stressor in life, exacerbating anguish at occurrences that beg for resolution and relief.
div class=”AbstractPara”
div class=”"Nevertheless, in this chapter, in Part One, we will briefly examine the evolutionary origins of law and ethics as a social
institution for stress regulation. In Part Two, we will survey and highlight the scope and content of modern law and ethics
for life transition stress, because what these institutions regulate will vary at different developmental stages of societal
organization. As we will show in Part Three, twenty-first century modernist notions of rights and entitlements for protection,
and for access to the advantages of civilization, make imperative that we regularly revisit and refine this institution upon
which our stress regulation, if not survival, continues to depend. Finally, we will examine the issue of formidable iatrogenic
stress contributed by moral quandary and navigating legal systems, and conclude with the prospects for a better future approach.

Gesundheitsrelevante Aspekte neuer Medien
November 28, 2009 | Comments Off
p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”Gesundheitsinformationen sind für einen Großteil der Weltbevölkerung über verschiedenste Medien zugänglich. Dabei spielen
nicht nur die (gar nicht mehr so neuen) „neuen Medien“ (siehe auch Bauer Kordy, 2008) eine Rolle, sondern es findet viel
mehr eine Verschmelzung der verschiedenen Medien statt. Fernsehen im Internet, Nachrichten über RSS-Feed auf mobile Kommunikationsgeräte,
Internet-Radio, usw. Die Faszination des Themas Gesundheit, die zahlreichen Interessenten und das Marktpotential werden besonders
durch diese Verschmelzung sichtbar. Es existieren Fernsehsender, die sich ausschließlich mit gesundheitsbezogenen Themen befassen
(z.B. Focus Gesundheit im deutschen Sprachraum, der britische Channel Health oder der bekannte amerikanische Sender Discovery
Health). Zur multimedialen Darbietung gesundheitsbezogener Inhalte in Warteräumlichkeiten von Professionist Innen wurde in
Neuseeland ein eigener Fernsehkanal das so genannte Health TV entwickelt, dessen Programme teilweise auch online unter http://www.htv.co.nz/index.html
abrufbar sind. Dieses 2007 bekannt gewordene Angebot kann für Praxisräumlichkeiten gratis bezogen werden und dient neben der
Verkürzung der Wartezeit, Beschäftigung und Unterhaltung auch der Gesundheitsförderung und Prävention durch Vermittlung von
Wissen. Für Professionisten selbst gibt es beispielsweise Spezialangebote von Discover Health CME (Continuing Medical Education)
unter http://discoveryhealthcme. discovery.com mit der Möglichkeit, die international immer wichtiger werdenden Fortbildungspunkte
(CME Punkte) zu sammeln.

Clustering the Web 2.0
November 27, 2009 | Comments Off
p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”Ryszard Michalski has been the pioneer of Machine Learning. His conceptual clustering focused on the understandability of
clustering results. It is a key requirement if Machine Learning is to serve users successfully. In this chapter, we present
two approaches to clustering in the scenario of Web 2.0 with a special concern of understandability in this new context. In
contrast to semantic web approaches which advocate ontologies as a common semantics for homogeneous user groups, Web 2.0 aims
at supporting heterogeneous user groups where users annotate and organize their content without a reference to a common schema.
Hence, the semantics is not made explicit. It can be extracted by Machine Learning, though, hence providing users with new
services.

Staging Neurological Disorders: Expressions of Cognitive and Motor Disorder
November 26, 2009 | Comments Off
p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”a name=”Abs1″/aspan class=”AbstractHeading”Abstractnbsp;nbsp;/spanIn neurologic disorders, there are progressive losses in regional brain structural integrity, circuitry, and neuronal process
that threaten individuals’ ability to express functional capacity at several levels of severity. The classification of (a)
patients on the basis of diagnosis, risk prognosis, and intervention outcome forms the basis of clinical staging and (b) laboratory
animals on the basis of animal model of brain disorder, extent of insult and dysfunctional expression, provides the components
for the iclinical staging and preclinical staging/i, respectively, of the disease state with certain associated epidemiological, biological, and genetic characteristics. The
investigation of epigenetics and biomarkers is intrinsic to any analysis of the progressive nature of the neurogenerative
disorders, in the present account disorders relating to Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, depression, and diabetes.

3D Object Mapping by Integrating Stereo SLAM and Object Segmentation Using Edge Points
November 26, 2009 | Comments Off
p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”This paper presents a method of 3D object mapping using a binocular stereo camera. The method employs edge points as map element
to represent detailed shape and applies a variant of ICP algorithm to 3D mapping. A SIFT descriptor is attached to each edge
point for object recognition and segmentation. The 3D map is segmented into individual objects using training images of target
objects with different backgrounds based on SIFT-based 2D and 3D matching. In experiments, a detailed 3D map was built by
the stereo SLAM and a 3D object map was created through the segmentation of the 3D map into 36 object instances.

Feature Matching under Region-Based Constraints for Robust Epipolar Geometry Estimation
November 26, 2009 | Comments Off
p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”Outlier-free inter-frame feature matches are important to accurate epipolar geometry estimation for many vision and robotics
applications. We discover a set of high-level geometric and appearance constraints on low-level feature matches by exploiting
reliable region matching results. A new outlier filtering scheme based on these constraints is proposed that can be combined
with traditional robust statistical methods to identify outlier feature matches more reliably and efficiently. The proposed
filtering scheme is tested in an real application of outdoor mobile robot navigation based on far-field scenes and of scenes
that contain repeated structures.

Motion Planning in Urban Environments
November 26, 2009 | Comments Off
p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”We present the motion planning framework for an autonomous vehicle navigating through urban environments. Such environments
present a number of motion planning challenges, including ultra-reliability, high-speed operation, complex inter-vehicle interaction,
parking in large unstructured lots, and constrained maneuvers. Our approach combines a model-predictive trajectory generation
algorithm for computing dynamically-feasible actions with two higher-level planners for generating long range plans in both
on-road and unstructured areas of the environment. In the first part of this article, we describe the underlying trajectory
generator and the on-road planning component of this system. We then describe the unstructured planning component of this
system used for navigating through parking lots and recovering from anomalous on-road scenarios. Throughout, we provide examples
and results from “Boss”, an autonomous SUV that has driven itself over 3000 kilometers and competed in, and won, the DARPA
Urban Challenge.
