You Take Care of the Drive, I Take Care of the Rule: A Traffic-Rule Awareness System Using Vehicular Sensors and Mobile Phones by Xing Zhang, Jidong Zhao, Jinchuan Tang, Bang Liu

“…There are three advantages of vehicle regulation: (1) without worrying about violations of traffic rules and searching for traffic signs, drivers can pay more attention on emergency situations, such as jaywalking. (2) Many traffic violations are due to attention distraction; machines do not have the attention issues; therefore they can provide good traffic-rule obeying. (3) New traffic rules can be spread and applied more quickly and effectively through the Internet or Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks (VANETs). In this paper, we propose a novel traffic-rule awareness system using vehicular sensors and mobile phones. …”

MSF: An Efficient Mobile Phone Sensing Framework by Giuseppe Cardone, Andrea Cirri, Antonio Corradi, Luca Foschini, Dario Maio

“…However, current mobile sensing solutions are not very mature; yet, because they are based on ad hoc software solutions tailored to one specific technical problem (e.g., power management, resource locking, etc.), they are difficult to reuse and integrate in different projects, and they do not focus on the performance efficiency of the monitoring support. …”

Lightweight Data Compression in Wireless Sensor Networks Using Huffman Coding by Henry Ponti Medeiros, Marcos Costa Maciel, Richard Demo Souza, Marcelo Eduardo Pellenz

“…Instead of attempting to devise novel ad hoc algorithms, we show that, given general knowledge of the parameters that must be monitored, it is possible to efficiently employ conventional Huffman coding to represent the same parameter when measured at different locations and time periods. …”

Antropología, Etnografía y Cibernética de Segundo Orden by Gustavo Bravo Rubio

“…Esta postura epistemológica busca alejarse de la clásica distinción sujeto/objeto que ha sido empleada por las ciencias sociales en gran parte de su historia, para partir de la distinción observar/observador, la cual, según los resultados aquí presentados, respondería de manera más ad hoc a las expectativas investigativas que encarnan las ciencias sociales, especialmente la antropología social. …”

Os Ducas e a recompensa dificilmente dividida by João Vicente de Medeiros Publio Dias

“…However, in fact, the emperors did distribute power, especially Alexios I (1081-1118), but in a more restricted and ad hoc way. Thus, given the Doukas’ role in the rebellion, it was expected that Alexios I would share power with this family, but he preferred to do so with his mother and brother. …”
