A new urban-plan system based on augmented reality

This paper describes an Urban-Plan System based on augmented reality with tangible and interactive user interface. Virtual models, graphics generated by computer and physical materials have been used in whole urban-planning process. Participants can carry out their assignment collaboratively in direct and interactive manner and the final results can be browsed and modified in real-time. Augmented Reality enables users to achieve Urban-Plan more effectively and easily. One key object of our system is to enable users manipulate virtual models as they can do in real world. To achieve this, we must calculate the pose and position of camera relative to real world exactly. This paper uses computer vision technology and known marker to solve the above problem.
IoT-Based Smart Edge for Global Health: Remote Monitoring With Severity Detection and Alerts Transmission

Global health which denotes equitable access to healthcare, particularly in remote-rural-developing regions, is characterized by unique challenges of affordability, accessibility, and availability for which one of the most promising technological interventions that is emerging is the Internet of Things (IoT)-based remote health monitoring. We present an IoT-based smart edge system for remote health monitoring, in which wearable vital sensors transmit data into two novel software engines, namely rapid active summarization for effective prognosis (RASPRO) and criticality measure index (CMI) alerts, both of which we have implemented in the IoT smart edge. RASPRO transforms voluminous sensor data into clinically meaningful summaries called personalized health motifs (PHMs). The CMI alerts engine computes an aggregate criticality score. Our IoT smart edge employs a risk-stratified protocol consisting of rapid guaranteed push of alerts and PHMs directly to the physicians, and best effort pull of detailed data-on-demand through the cloud. We have carried out both clinical validation and performance evaluation of our smart edge system. The clinical validation on 183 patients demonstrated that the IoT smart edge is highly effective in remote monitoring, advance warning and detection of cardiac conditions, as quantified by three measures, precision (0.87), recall (0.83), and F1-score (0.85). Furthermore, performance evaluation showed significant reductions in the bandwidth (98%) and energy (90%), thereby making it suitable for emerging narrow-band IoT networks. In the deployment of our system in the cardiology institute of our University hospital, we observed that our IoT smart edge helped to increase the availability of physicians by 59%. Hence, our IoT smart edge system is a significant step toward addressing the requirements for global health.
Can users control their data in social software? an ethical analysis of data control approaches

The concept of data access and data flow control has a central role in privacy preservation of users in social software. Certain approaches aim at enabling users to control who can access their data, and identifying who is accountable for misconduct. Those approaches are implemented in technological and legal frameworks. Each approach raises many ethical issues. Furthermore, these approaches may conflict with each other. The issues are more complicated when the technological and legal frameworks are compared to each other. Such conflicts raises an open issue of what the appropriate balance would be when implementing the approaches by the two frameworks at once.
20 Questions on Adaptive Dynamics: A Target Review

Adaptive Dynamics is an approach to studying evolutionary change when …tness is density or frequency dependent. Modern papers identifying themselves as using this approach …rst appeared in the 1990s, and have greatly increased up to the present. However, because of the rather technical nature of many of the papers, the approach is not widely known or understood by evolutionary biologists. In this review we aim to remedy this situation by outlining the methodology and then examining its strengths and weaknesses. We carry this out by posing and answering 20 key questions on Adaptive Dynamics. We conclude that Adaptive Dynamics provides a set of useful approximations for studying various evolutionary questions. However, as with any approximate method, conclusions based on Adaptive Dynamics are valid only under some restrictions that we discuss.
Wound Healing: Recent Progress—Future Directions

Wound repair as observed in different tissues and organs has attracted interest since the time of John Hunter.1 The process of wound healing is truly a fundamental biologic phenomenon. It encompasses all of the aspects of cell proliferation; cell differentiation; synthesis and secretion of proteins, proteoglycans, and other extracellular substances; as well as inflammation and many of its various parameters. All these factors depend on the general systemic welfare of the affected individual.
The Classification of Smoking by Factorial Structure of Motives

Using a 34-item self-completion questionnaire relating to a wide variety of smoking motive themes gleaned from previously published work, responses of 175 normal smokers were subjected to factor analysis. Six oblique factors were obtained representing the following six types of smoking: psychosocial, indulgent, sensorimotor, stimulation, addictive and automatic. Previous work suggesting a sedative type of smoking was not confirmed. The most striking finding was a major "pharmacological addiction" dimension which completely separated the stimulation, automatic and addictive factors and their items from the rest. It was these three factors which were correlated ( 50, *56, *63 respectively) with cigarette consumption and which differentiated the sample of normal smokers from a criterion sample of 103 addicted heavy smokers attending smoking withdrawal clinics. It is suggested that it may prove more useful to classify smokers according to their position on the single dimension of pharmacological addiction to nicotine rather than in terms of their profiles on the six types of smoking. The interpretation and limitations of factor analysis of questionnaire-type data are discussed.
Risk Factors of Coronary Heart Disease among Medical Students in Almaarefa Colleges, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Background: Nowadays, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) represent an escalating worldwide public health problem. Providing consistent data on the magnitude and risk factors of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) among young population will help in controlling the risks and avoiding their consequences. Objective: The objective was to estimate the prevalence of risk factors of coronary heart disease (CHD) among medical students during their clinical clerkship (4th-6th years). Methods: A cross-sectional study was done during the educational year 2016-2017 at Almaarefa Colleges. Ethical standards were follow and a multistage stratified random sample method was used for selection of 214 medical students. Data was collected through an interviewing questionnaire, measurements and laboratory investigations. Both descriptive and analytical statistics were done by SPSS version 21. Coronary heart disease (CHD) risk percent in thirty years was calculated using Framingham algorithm for each student, then the risk among all students was determined. Results: The commonest risk factors of coronary heart disease (CHDs) were daily intake of high fat diet (73.4%), physical inactivity (57.9%), overweight/or obesity (31.2%) and daily consumption of fast food (13.1%). Hypercholesterolemia (17.2%) and hypertension (9.3%) were also prevalent risk factors. Smoking prevalence was low (2.8%). Males had significantly higher mean scores for most of coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors compared to females (p < 0.05). Systolic Blood Pressure was higher among males (119.47 ± 11.17) compared to females (112.26 ± 9.06). A highly statistical significant difference was present (Students test = 4.74, p < 0.001). Framingham Risk Score revealed that coronary heart disease (CHD) risk percent in thirty years among all students was 10.7%, 2.3% and 0.5% for mild, moderate and severe risk, respectively. Conclusion: An alarmingly high prevalence of coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors was prevailed among medical students, especially among males. However, a low prevalence of smoking may indicate the success of “Smoke-free Campus” program. Screening risk factors of coronary heart disease (CHD) among medical students and implementation of intervention programs are recommended. Programs to raise awareness about coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors, encourage young adult students to adopt a healthy dietary behavior and promote physical exercise should be initiated.
Barriers and success factors in clinical pathways: transition process between psychiatric inpatient care and community care

Rationale, aims and objectives: This study examines the scope and limitations of clinical pathways to monitor patient-care management of a selected patient group during a specified time period. We aimed to identify (a) the factors that may obstruct the intended clinical care plan as devised by psychiatric hospital centres for implementation by community services and (b) the strategies which support the effective delivery of high quality care. Method: A qualitative design incorporating a descriptive approach was chosen. Seven focus groups with a total of 18 informants were convened. Data were analysed to identify condensed meaningful units, categories (sub-theme) and themes. Results: Three main themes emerged; Coordination, Clinical Care and Ethics. The main barriers were communication errors, lack of adherence to treatment due to disagreement on treatment and lack of competence. The main success factors were adequate direct communication and proper documentation systems between health personnel, patient participation in future plans and working hours of ambulant teams. Conclusions: This study suggests that clinical pathways are useful for securing key objectives at the interface between hospital and community-based psychiatric care. Improved information sharing in/between all care systems is imperative in order to strengthen patients’ participation in decision-making, ownership of the care plan and improve adherence to treatment.
Out of time, out of place : public art (now)

Public Art (Now): Out of Time, Out of Place is the first survey of progressive public art from around the world. It presents some of the most significant artworks in the public realm from the last decade, challenging preconceptions about where, when and how public art takes place. The face of public art is changing. For decades, art in the public realm has been characterized by the landmark sculpture or spectacular outdoor event that helps to define or brand a place. But in recent years, a new wave of international artists and producers has rejected the monumental scale and mass appeal of such artworks. Instead, these individuals and groups favour unconventional forms that unsettle rather than authenticate a place's identity; disrupt rather than embellish a particular location; and contest rather than validate the design and function of public space. Performed interactions, collaborative social movements and small-scale subversive acts are just some of the unorthodox approaches taken by these artists. Their works challenge preconceived ideas about the role of art in place-making as they seek to remake places through radical forms and practices. Public Art (Now): Out of Time, Out of Place presents the artists who have been redefining the practice of public art over the past decade. They directly address the most pressing issues of our time, including the encroachment of corporate concerns on public space, the implications of global migration and the isolation of the individual, and the potential of collective action to share the future of our towns and cities. Some forty key works from around the world are organized into five sections 'Displacement', 'Intervention', 'Disorientation', 'Occupation' and 'Perpetuation' with detailed descriptions and dozens of installation and process shots. Interviews and quotes from practitioners, commissioners and commentators reveal the impetus and context for the projects, while the editors introduction sets out the conceptual, practical and ethical issues raised by the works. Bringing together the most significant artworks in the public realm of the last ten years from ephemeral interventions to long-term ongoing projects this dynamic survey is an essential reference for anyone interested in the ideas, issues and impulses behind progressive public art, and an accessible introduction to one of the most vibrant areas of contemporary art.
Mantenir la fe en la planificació territorial en una època neoliberal: una reflexió sobre el Pla Territorial General de Catalunya

El Pla Territorial General de Catalunya es bastant especial, per raons historiques multiples. Es un pla que te un interes i una forca molt considerables. Intenta donar una idea general de la imatge del pais per a molts anys endavant i no esta gaire afectat pels dubtes intel·lectuals que ara son generals a Europa. Te algunes caracteristiques en comu amb els altres plans territorials europeus, pero la combinacio es unica, resultat d'una situacio politica i ideologica unica, i de la seva expressio tecnica i professional.
Massive Postpartum Hemorrhage: Protocol and Red Code

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal death. In developing countries, approximately 8% of maternal death is caused by PPH. Protocols should provide a standardized approach to evaluate and monitor the patients. A standard protocol must be recognized by the institution and must be accepted and known by all team members. Additionally, it is important to have a massive obstetric hemorrhage protocol (red code) for those patients with an important bleeding who require blood products available as soon as possible. In the red code activation protocol there are several key points to consider: the management algorithm must be known and accepted by all team members, a clear and effective communication between the team must be established and all the participants must know the role they play. Massive obstetric hemorrhage has a multidisciplinary implication: obstetricians, anesthesiologists, pediatricians, midwife, nurses, auxiliary staff, and laboratory blood bank staff. The active participation of the multidisciplinary team in simulations before the protocols implementation facilitates the evaluation of critical points and subsequent changes before their final application, the assessment of the adequacy of circuits and infrastructure, as well as a better protocols compliance.
Coronal density diagnostics with Helium-like triplets: CHANDRA-LETGS observations of Algol, Capella, Procyon, epsilon Eri, alpha Cen A&B, UX Ari, AD Leo, YY Gem, and HR 1099

We present an analysis of ten cool stars (Algol, Capella, Procyon, Eri, Cen A&B, UX Ari, AD Leo, YY Gem, and HR 1099) observed with the Low Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer (LETGS) on board the Chandra X-ray Observatory. This sample contains all cools stars observed with the LETGS presently available to us with integration times suciently long to warrant a meaningful spectral analysis. Our sample comprises inactive, moderately active, and hyperactive stars and samples the bulk part of activity levels encountered in coronal X-ray sources. We use the LETGS spectra to carry out density and temperature diagnostics with an emphasis on the H-like and the He-like ions. We find a correlation between line flux ratios of the Ly and He-like resonance lines with the mean X-ray surface flux. We determine densities using the He-like triplets. For all stars we find no significant deviations from the low-density limit for the ions of Ne, Mg, and Si, while the measured line ratios for the ions of C, N, and O do show evidence for departures from the low-density limit in the active stars, but not in the inactive stars. Best measurements can be made for the Ovii triplet where we find significant deviations from the low-density limit for the stars Algol, Procyon, YY Gem, Eri, and HR 1099. We discuss the influence of radiation fields on the interpretation of the He-like triplet line ratios in the low-Z ions, which is relevant for Algol, and the influence of dielectronic satellite lines, which is relevant for Procyon. For the active stars YY Gem, Eri, and HR 1099 the low f=i ratios can unambiguously be attributed to high densties in the range 1-3 10 10 cm 3 at Ovii temperatures. We find our LETGS spectra to be an extremely useful tool for plasma diagnostics of stellar coronae.
Etude asymptotique de grands objets combinatoires aléatoires

Dans ce travail, nous nous sommes interesses a l'etude asymptotique d'objets combinatoires aleatoires. Deux themes ont particulierement retenu notre attention : les cartes planaires aleatoires et les modeles combinatoires lies a la theorie des fragmentations. La theorie mathematique des cartes planaires aleatoires est nee a l'aube de notre millenaire avec les travaux pionniers de Benjamini & Schramm, Angel & Schramm et Chassaing & Schaeffer. Elle a ensuite beaucoup progresse, mais a l'heure ou ces lignes sont ecrites, de nombreux problemes fondamentaux restent ouverts. Resumons en quelques mots cles nos principales contributions dans le domaine : l'introduction et l'etude du cactus brownien (avec J.F. Le Gall et G. Miermont), l'etude de la quadrangulation infinie uniforme vue de l'infini (avec L. Menard et G. Miermont), ainsi que des travaux plus theoriques sur les graphes aleatoires stationnaires d'une part et les graphes empilables dans $\R^d$ d'autre part (avec I. Benjamini). La theorie des fragmentations est beaucoup plus ancienne et remonte a des travaux de Kolmogorov (1941) et de Filippov (1961). Elle est maintenant bien developpee (voir par exemple l'excellent livre de J. Bertoin), et nous ne nous sommes pas focalises sur cette theorie mais plutot sur ses applications a des modeles combinatoires. Elle s'avere en effet tres utile pour etudier differents modeles de triangulations recursives du disque (travail effectue avec J.F. Le Gall) et les recherches partielles dans les quadtrees (travail effectue avec A. Joseph).
Automatic access to verb continuations on the lexical and categorical levels: evidence from MEG

ABSTRACT Little is known about how readers represent probabilistic information about verb continuations (VCs), or to what degree automatic tracking of these probability distributions constitutes anticipatory processing. Research shows that subcategorization frame entropy, a measure indexing uncertainty about the syntactic constituent following a verb, affects neural responses during verb recognition. This suggests readers have mental representations of VCs. However, the granularity of these representations remains unclear. Using MEG, we investigated how precisely, and to what purpose, the brain represents VCs in single-word processing. We found that, compared to SCF entropy, entropy over a granularized set of continuations (created by subdividing the prepositional phrase frame) better predicted behavioural and MEG responses, suggesting readers access continuations more fine-grained than grammatical category. Results also revealed a spatiotemporally separate sensitivity to the distribution of lexemes following verbs. Overall, our findings suggest that readers represent VCs on multiple levels, and likely engage in anticipatory processing automatically.
Optimal Distributed Control for Secondary Frequency and Voltage Regulation in an Islanded Microgrid

This paper proposes an optimal distributed control strategy for the coordination of multiple distributed generators in an islanded microgrid (MG). A finite-time secondary frequency control approach is developed to eliminate the frequency deviation and maintain accurate active power sharing in a finite-time manner. It is demonstrated that the traditional distributed control approach with asymptotical convergence is just a special case of the proposed finite-time control strategy under the specific control parameter settings. Then, a secondary voltage control approach is presented to regulate the average voltage magnitude of all distributed generators to the desired value and achieve accurate reactive power sharing. The implementation of the proposed distributed control strategy only requires information exchange among neighboring local controllers through a sparse communication network. Simulations with an islanded MG testbed built in MATLAB/Simulink are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed distributed control strategy.
Minimizing eyestrain on a liquid crystal display considering gaze direction and visual field of view

Abstract. Recently, it has become necessary to evaluate the performance of display devices in terms of human factors. To meet this requirement, several studies have been conducted to measure the eyestrain of users watching display devices. However, these studies were limited in that they did not consider precise human visual information. Therefore, a new eyestrain measurement method is proposed that uses a liquid crystal display (LCD) to measure a user’s gaze direction and visual field of view. Our study is different in the following four ways. First, a user’s gaze position is estimated using an eyeglass-type eye-image capturing device. Second, we propose a new eye foveation model based on a wavelet transform, considering the gaze position and the gaze detection error of a user. Third, three video adjustment factors—variance of hue (VH), edge, and motion information—are extracted from the displayed images in which the eye foveation models are applied. Fourth, the relationship between eyestrain and three video adjustment factors is investigated. Experimental results show that the decrement of the VH value in a display induces a decrease in eyestrain. In addition, increased edge and motion components induce a reduction in eyestrain.
