Several research institutions and universities have taken on the challenge of providing solutions for accessible and universally designed workplace accommodations with a focus on people with disabilities. Accessible design is a subset of what is termed Universal design. Where Universal design covers the design of products, systems and environments for all people and encompasses all design principles, Accessible design focuses on principles that extend the standard design process to those people with some type of performance limitation. In order for individuals with disabiltities to gain better access to the work environments and the products that facilitate independence, health, safety, and social participation a multi-disciplined approach to the research is needed to identify needs and challenges of the targeted population. Georgia Institute of Technology and its Center for Assistive Technology and Environmental Access (CATEA) were participants in CAESAR the surface anthropometric data collection project. Data from both the CAESAR study and research generated from the Anthropometry for the Disabled project from SUNY Buffalo as well as principle of Universal design developed at the University of North Carolina will be utilized to supplement activities for a recent grant received by CATEA to assist people with disabilities in the workplace. In keeping with President Bush's New Freedom Initiative to promote full access to community life for all Americans, Karen Milchus principle investigator for the Workplace Accommodations research grant says, (qtd. In Georgia Tech's "The Whistle") "The primary objective of the research is to identify, design and develop new assistive devices and universally designed technologies that will enable all individuals, particularly those with disabilties, to achieve the greatest degree of independence and integration in the workplace." The Center provides the expertise and information needed to assess and understand the requirements for pe

Efficient and accurate behavioral modeling of RF power amplifiers with memory effects becomes of critical importance in the system-level analysis and design of wide band digital communication systems. In this paper, we present a novel Volterra-based behavioral model implemented through a bank of parallel FIR filters, the coefficients of which may be readily extracted from time-domain measurement or circuit envelope simulation. This model can reproduce the nonlinear distortion of power amplifiers with memory effects excited by wideband modulated signals with better accuracy compared to conventional quasi-memoryless models.

The film industry has used advanced computer techniques in filmmaking for years. But the tool packages such as software animators or film/video editors largely rely on human's intervention for the design of the resulting pictures. Domain knowledge captured from the film craftsmen can give great aid for creating high qualitative motion pictures and save time and labor. Furthermore, dependent on the cinematic knowledge base, the digital moviemaking procedure can be automated through Artificial Intelligent approach. This paper describes digital filmmaking knowledge modeling with rule-based reasoning and its application in an automatic movie generation system DMP we are implementing. Knowledge representation and reasoning strategies are realized by expert system tool CLIPS 6.20.

During the next phase of the human Genome Project, research will focus on functional studies of attributing functions to genes, their regulatory elements, and other DNA sequences. To facilitate the use of genomic information in such studies, a new modeling perspective is needed to examine and study genome sequences in the context of many kinds of biological information. Pathways are the logical format for modeling and presenting such information in a manner that is familiar to biological researchers. In this paper we present an integrated system, called Pathways Database System, with a set of software tools for modeling, storing, analyzing, visualizing, and querying biological pathways data at different levels of genetic, molecular, biochemical and organismal detail. The novel features of the system include: a) genomic information integrated with other biological data and presented from a pathway, rather than from the DNA sequence, perspective;b) design for biologists who are possibly unfamiliar with genomics, but whose research is essential for annotating gene and genome sequences with biological functions;c) database design, implementation and graphical tools which enable users to visualize pathways data in multiple abstraction levels, and to pose predetermined queries;and d) an implementation that allows for web(XML)-based dissemination of query outputs (i.e., pathways data) to researchers in the community, giving them control on the use of pathways data.
