Wearable Smart System for Visually Impaired People

In this paper, we present a wearable smart system to help visually impaired persons (VIPs) walk by themselves through the streets, navigate in public places, and seek assistance.The main components of the system are a microcontroller board, various sensors, cellular communication and GPS modules, and a solar panel.The system employs a set of sensor

Convex Obstacles from Travelling Times

We consider situations where rays Cart - Jinker are reflected according to geometrical optics by a set of unknown obstacles.The aim is to recover information about the obstacles from the travelling-time data of the reflected rays using geometrical methods and observations of singularities.Suppose that, for a disjoint union of finitely many strictly

Genomic islands of speciation in Anopheles gambiae.

The African malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto (A.gambiae), provides a unique opportunity to study the evolution of reproductive isolation because it is divided into two sympatric, partially isolated subtaxa known as M form and S form.With the annotated genome of this species now available, high-throughput techniques can be applied t
