Summary. A model for components of social change which distinguishes expected or structural change from positional change is applied to census indices for physically defined urban areas in England. Census profiles are evaluated for groups of urban areas defined by positional change. The model

As whiteboards have become a popular tool in meeting rooms, there has been a growing interest in making use of the whiteboard as a user interface for human computer interaction. Therefore, systems based on electronic whiteboards have been developed in order to serve as meeting assistants for e.g. collaborative working. However, as special pens and erasers are required, the natural interaction is restricted. In order to render this communication method more natural it was proposed to retain ordinary whiteboard and pens and to visually observe the writing process using a video camera [11, 9]. In this paper a prototype system for automatic video-based whiteboard reading is presented. The system is designed for recognizing unconstrained handwritten text and is further characterized by an incremental processing strategy in order to facilitate recognizing portions of text as soon as they have been written on the board. We will present the methods employed for extracting text regions, pre-processing, feature extraction, and statistical modeling and recognition. Evaluation results on a writer independent unconstrained handwriting recognition task demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach.

This thesis outlines the development of a centrifugal compressor model for the Turbocharger Component Matching System (TuCMS) software package that can be used to inexpensively analyze turbocharger performance. The TuCMS can also be used to match turbocharger components to integrate and optimize
