Section B. Is local diversity a product of regional forces‚ local forces‚ or both‚ and how might we know? In ecology‚ the change in species diversity across space and time is one of the oldest studied subjects‚ however the underlying causes of many diversity patterns is under much debate (Field et al. 2001; MacArthur‚ 1972; Rosenzweig‚ 1995).

Shoes is a hands-free and eyes-free foot-computer interface that supports on-the-go interaction with surrounding environments. We recognize different low-level activities by measuring the user’s continuous weight distribution over the feet with twelve Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) sensors embedded in the insoles of shoes. Using the sensor data as inputs‚ a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier identifies up to eighteen mobile activities and a four-directional foot control gesture at approximately 98%
