Abstract: This work aims to deploy the term favourable sociolinguistic conditions framework proposed by F. X. Vila, M. Nogué and I. Vila in order to make it academically operational to analyse the factors that would foster the implementation of the Catalan linguistic norm. To achieve [...]

Abstract

We have studied the construct of flexibility in higher education for many years, as researchers and practitioners. In this context we define flexibility as offering the student choices in how, what, where, when and with whom he or she participates in learning-related activities while [...]

Abstract

Sweden is a geographically large and sparsely populated country, with a need for road transport for individuals as well as for logistics. Domestic road transport largely contributes to air pollutions, where passenger cars account for the largest share. Looking ahead, the present rate [...]

Abstract

A variety of deep learning techniques are actively employed for advanced driver assistance systems, which in turn require gathering lots of heterogeneous driving data, such as traffic conditions, driver behavior, vehicle status and location information. However, these different types [...]

Abstract

Service unreliability is widely recognized as one of the main deterrents for travelers to use buses as their primary mode of transportation. Bus systems are exposed to an adverse feedback loop that generates a tendency for buses to fall out of sync. This tendency can be counteracted [...]

Abstract

International audience; In this paper, we propose a video streaming architecture implementing an IP core design based on Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOG) algorithm, by using a high-level synthesis workflow. Also, we present a decision algorithm for a dynamically reconfigurable [...]
