Psychologists, neurobiologists, and computer scientists have investigated visual attention thoroughly during the last decades and profited considerably from each other. However, the interdisciplinarity of the topic holds not only benefits but also difficulties: concepts of other fields are usually hard to access due to differences in vocabulary and lack of knowledge of the relevant literature. This paper aims to bridge this gap and bring together concepts and ideas from the different research areas. It provides an extensive survey of the grounding psychological and biological research on visual attention as well as the current state of the art of computational systems. Furthermore, it presents a broad range of applications of computational attention systems in fields like computer vision, cognitive systems and mobile robotics. We conclude with a discussion on the limitations and open questions in the field.

Despite its importance, it is the mo st poorly managed resources in the world. In most towns in Ogun State, South West, Nigeria, access to clean and portable water is a challenge, resulting in water borne diseases. The research aims at accessing the level of influence of human activities on the physical and chemical properties of Iju River, Iju town in Ogun State, South West Nigeria. Water samples were collected from Point 1, 2 and 3 (down-stream, mid-stream and upstream respectively) from Iju river and the following parameter were determined: pH ,electrical conductivity (EC), total suspended solid (TSS), total solid (TS), total acidity, total alkalinity, total hardness, chloride, nitrate, phosphate, sulphate, iron, dissolved oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD) and c hemical oxygen demand (COD). Levels of EC, TS, and BOD at the mid-stream and the iron level at downstream , mid-stream and upstream are higher than WHO standards.The high concentration of iron in the entire samples suggests that the river water used for irrigation of vegetable and high level of BOD makes the water unsuitable for aquatic life and human consumption.Relevant agencies should make continuous effort to control, regulate and educate the people and those using the water on indiscriminate waste disposal from laundry, domestic and agriculture within the study area.
