Unicube for Dynamic Environment Mapping

IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, 2011
Cube mapping is widely used in many graphics applications due to the availability of hardware support. However, it does not sample the spherical surface evenly. Recently, a uniform spherical mapping, isocube mapping, was proposed. It exploits the six-face structure used in cube mapping and samples the spherical surface evenly.

Managing hospitals in dynamic environments

International Journal of Health Care Quality Assurance, 1997
Hospital environments have changed dramatically over the past two decades. Hospitals now have to contend with the dynamics of regulation, market forces, and quality and cost‐conscious environments. The strategies proposed here emulate the changes pursued by much of US industry. Provides a framework for analysing hospital environments.

Dynamic visioning for dynamic environments

Journal of the Operational Research Society, 1999
Summary: This article considers the particular challenges to organisations facing major change in turbulent times. It briefly reviews the use of visioning tools, especially scenario planning, to support the process of developing strategies requiring major change, and the communication of these plans to key employees.

Situation Awareness: Understanding Dynamic Environments

Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 2008
Objective: We present a snapshot of the work on situation awareness, which involves operators' comprehension of the dynamic situation that they are monitoring or controlling. Background: Although human factors has always been concerned with helping the operator in his or her work environment, research exploded in the mid-1990s on one relevant ...

Macromolecular dynamics in crowded environments

The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2010
The structural and dynamical properties of macromolecules in confining or crowded environments are different from those in simple bulk liquids. In this paper, both the conformational and diffusional dynamics of globular polymers are studied in solutions containing fixed spherical obstacles.

Place recognition in dynamic environments

Journal of Robotic Systems, 1997
Summary: We have developed a technique for place learning and place recognition in dynamic environments. Our technique associates evidence grids with places in the world and uses hill climbing to find the best alignment between current perceptions and learned evidence grids.

Unpredictably Dynamic Environment Patrolling

Unmanned Systems, 2017
Patrolling is the most commonly requested type of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) mission; thus we use it as a prototypical example of autonomous mission planning. In this paper, we design an autonomous mission planner for UAV patrolling missions in unpredictably dynamic environments (UDEs) using recomposable restricted finite state machines (ReRFSM ...

Biophysical Dynamics in Disorderly Environments

Annual Review of Biophysics, 2012
Three areas where time-independent disorder plays a key role in biological dynamics far from equilibrium are reviewed. We first discuss the anomalous localization dynamics that arises when a single species spreads in space and time via diffusion and fluid advection in the presence of frozen heterogeneities in the growth rate.

Evaluating poverty–environment dynamics

International Journal of Sustainable Development & World Ecology, 2009
Developing indicators to more effectively evaluate poverty–environment dynamics and inform policy is an urgent research priority. It is critical that these indicators are used in ways that accurately represent the relationship they are meant to inform.

Expertise in dynamic environments

Ergonomics, 1997
This paper reviews results of comparisons between novice and expert operators in the supervision of dynamic environments. Firstly, the characteristics of expertise and its operational definitions are discussed. Secondly, the main dimensions of the complexity of these environments are described and the difficulties operators have in coping with ...
