Negative density dependence promotes persistence of a globally rare yet locally abundant plant species Oenothera coloradensis by Stears, AE, Heidel, B, Paniw, M, Salguero-Gómez, R, Laughlin, DC

“…We propose that high micro-site abundances within a spatially heterogeneous environment enables this species to persist, allowing it to sidestep the demographic and genetic challenges of small population size that rare species typically face. The five mechanisms of persistence explored in our study have been demonstrated as effective strategies in other species, and the fact that only one of them had strong support here supports the idea that globally rare species can employ distinct persistence strategies. …”

Design and implementation of a human tracking and following capability for a robotic avatar by Yao, Xiling.

“…In this project, the Kinect sensor was used to detect the person and to track his/her position in 3D space. In each frame of the sensor reading, the histogram in HSV color space was calculated for the targeted person’s clothes, while the person’s position was updated and stored until he/she was in a situation (being occluded or away from the field of view) where he/she could not be detected by the Kinect sensor. …”
