Issues and Requirements for Bayesian Approaches in Context Aware Systems
No full textResearch in advanced context-aware systems has clearly shown
a need to capture the inherent uncertainty in the physical world, especially
in human behavior. Modelling approaches that employ the concept
of probability, especially in combination with Bayesian methods,
are promising candidates to solve the pending problems. This paper analyzes
the requirements for such models in order to enable user-friendly,
adaptive and especially scalable operation of context-aware systems. It
is conjectured that a successful system may not only use Bayesian techniques
to infer probabilities from known probability tables but learn, i.e.
estimate the probabilities in these tables by observing user behavior

"Referencing Strang"
No full text"Referencing Strang" by G James Brown is an oil painting executed as a response to the etching, "The House in the Lane", by William Strang (1859-1921). The painting addresses the subject, conceptual focus, style and approach shown in this early print from the standpoint of a contemporary North Queensland artist's perception of the tropical landscape and current issues. By design, the painting critiques the conventions of the early print by comparing them in visual terms to the artist's personal art practice

Psychosocial interventions and opioid detoxification for drug misuse: summary of NICE guidance
No full textDrug misuse is an increasing problem that not only impairs the physical and mental health of people who misuse drugs but also negatively affects their families and wider society (for example, in its association with crime). Recently expanded drug services in the United Kingdom involve general practitioners to a considerable degree, who care for at least a third of opioid misusers in treatment. Many clinicians remain pessimistic, however, about the possible benefits of any treatment and how to engage drug users in treatment.1 This article summarises two new NICE guidelines that identify the most effective, safe detoxification regimens for primary and secondary care, the most cost effective psychosocial interventions, and effective ways to promote patient engagement
Gifford v Strang and the new landscape for recovery for psychiatric injury in Australia
No full textGifford v Strang Patrick Stevedoring Pty Ltd was the third recent High Court case dealing with liability for psychiatric injuries. This article examines that decision, with references to the other two cases Tame v New South Wales and Annetts v Australian Stations Pty Ltd. It places these judgments in the context of the recommendations concerning mental harm in the recent Ipp Panel's review of negligence and subsequent tort reform legislation. It will be seen that far from removing uncertainty and inconsistencies, Australian law concerning psychiatric injury has never been more divided
Ep. #024 - Veronica Strang
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Water, water everywhere. The human sciences have become animated by the politics, ethics and materiality of water of late and for good reason. Our guest (11:13) on this week’s Cultures of Energy podcast was one of the first to get this conversation started. Anthropologist Veronica Strang, currently Executive Director of the Institute for Advanced Study at Durham University, is the author of The Meaning of Water (Oxford, 2004) and Water: Culture and Nature (Reaktion, 2015) and a recipient of UNESCO’s International Water Prize. We talk about how the transgressive and transformative properties of water cut across cultures and how its material liquidity complicates our cultural and legal understandings of ownership and property. Veronica explains why we have to think water across scales, from its mediation of individual bodies to how its flows form communities. We talk about the infamous case of Bolivia’s water privatization, efforts to enclose water resources across the world and how contemporary politics of water are undermining democracy. Veronica also reminds us though that efforts to centralize control over water are ancient and that the movements that are now seeking to decentralize water resources also have hope. In closing we discuss cosmological and mythological water beings ranging from rainbow serpents to Chinese water dragons to the Lambton Worm, reputed to live in Durham’s own River Wear. Is our concern with hydration and floods these days informed by the moral economy and sacred vitality of water? Has urbanization caused us to lose touch with the hydrological cycle that so powerfully informed the cultural imaginations of our ancestors? Pour yourself a glass of water and listen on
Measurement and Analysis of the Direct Train to Train Propagation Channel in the 70 cm UHF-Band
No full textIn this paper we present first analyses and results of a comprehensive measurement campaign investigating the propagation channel in case of direct (base station free) communication between railway vehicles. The measurements cover urban, suburban and rural environments along a multifaceted regional railway network in the south of Bavaria. Beside different operational conditions like front, rear, and flank approaches of trains, we investigated several topological scenarios on both, single and double track sections along the line. We will also discuss the observed characteristic changes in narrow band signal attenuation and Doppler spectra for passages through forests, hilly areas, stations and a tunnel
