Can I touch the clothes on the screen? The mental simulation for touch in online fashion shopping

PurposeThis study aims to explore consumers' vicarious experience of touch, namely, mental simulation for touch, through product pictures as visual stimuli and the use of touch devices as motion stimuli in the context of online fashion shopping.Design/methodology/approachParticipants were randomly exposed to one of the two texture conditions (weak vs strong tactile sensitivity). The responses from the participants who used a laptop as a non-touch device and a touch device were considered in the analysis. A total of 179 responses were analyzed with analysis of variance and the PROCESS procedure for path analysis using SPSS 20.0. FindingsThe interaction effects of tactile sensitivity and device types on mental simulation for touch were significant; seeing a less tactile-sensitive product facilitated a greater mental simulation for touch when using a touch device; however, seeing a tactile-sensitive product produced a similar mental simulation for touch, regardless of device types. Furthermore, browsing a less tactile-sensitive product using a touch device increased favorable product attitudes, fully mediated by mental simulation for touch.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature on online shopping behaviors of fashion consumers by showing the role of mental simulation for touch that is shaped by the tactile qualities of products and device types. Exploration of this topic can contribute significantly to online fashion retailers because studies on consumers' mental simulation for touch are limited.
Feedback Control for Collision-Free Nonholonomic Vehicle Navigation on SE(2) With Null Space Circumvention

In this article, we present a novel feedback controller for the collision-free navigation of a class of nonholonomic vehicles based on navigation functions in convex environment. This controller utilizes a high-level principle—null space circumvention—in nonholonomic navigation control, allowing us to involve different vehicle kinematics and navigation functions with respect to the task and environment. For a single vehicle, we have proved that the controller can steer it to the target on SE(2) while avoiding collision from almost all the initial states. The controller can also close the gap between holonomic vehicle navigation and nonholonomic vehicle navigation, allowing the navigation functions created for holonomic vehicles to be used for nonholonomic vehicles. Furthermore, we extend the controller to multivehicle formation control. Within this task, our controller shows generality without much modification except for updating the gradient of the chosen navigation functions. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed controllers can achieve collision-free navigation for a single vehicle and multiple vehicles.
Thermoelectric properties of 2D semiconducting Pt2CO2

Quantum confinement effect in 2D materials leads to the reduction of the degree of freedom of space and the weakening of the correlation between the thermoelectric factors. Only by adjusting a certain physical quantity can optimized the thermoelectric performance. MXenes as a new class of 2D material have attracted widely attention due to their good mechanical and chemical stability, controllable layer thickness, easily functionalized surface and excellent electrical conductivity. In the present paper, using first-principles calculations, we design and study the stability, electronic and thermoelectric properties of 2D monolayer Pt2CO2. Results show that the Pt2CO2 is a new non-magnetic semiconductor, and can bear its own weight, and maintain its free-standing planar structure without substrate support. Futher, the stable calculations indicate that the Pt2CO2 meets thermodynamic, mechanical and dynamic stabilities. Finally, using the Boltzmann transport theory combined with Slack model, we calculate the Seebeck coefficient S, electrical conductivity σ/τ, and the thermal conductivity κ, and then obtain the ZT value from 300 K to 1000 K. It is found that the largest ZT value closes to 1.05 at 1000 K, implying the Pt2CO2 potential application as thermoelectric material.
Water and physiological responses of Okra ( Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench) under saline stress grown on a bentonized substrate

In many arid and semi-arid regions of the world, Salinity has become an important problem for agricultural production. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different treatments of NaCl (Control, 100 mM and 300 mM) for 7 days, on young okra plants (Abelmoschus esculentus), grown in two types of substrate with (B7%) and without bentonite (SB) under controlled greenhouse conditions. The results showed that the two factors (salinity and bentonite) imposed in our study have a significant effect on the water status estimated by RWC, RWL and DHS in addition of the accumulation of the osmoregulator (proline, soluble sugars).
Depth-Aware Pixel2Mesh

Currently, there are existing methods that are able to construct 3D meshes of objects when given 2D image inputs. However, there is room to improve upon these models by adding in a component of object recognition that we as humans use to perceive the world around us: depth. Our goal is to build upon the Pixel2Mesh work by expanding its capacity from utilizing RGB input images to RGB-D input images. These RGB-D images were created using the MiDaS model, and were fed into a modified Pixel2Mesh to create 3D meshes. While our initial approach involving leveraging differentiable rendering was initially unsuccessful, we found that when using the depth-aware Pixel2Mesh, training results exhibited faster convergence and validation results indicated stronger total loss minimization and comparable voxel loss performance.
Effectiveness of a Serious Game Design and Game Mechanic Factors for Attention and Executive Function Improvement in the Elderly: A Pretest-Posttest Study

Attention allows us to focus and process information from our environment, and executive function enables us to plan, work, and manage our daily lives. As individuals become older, both of these cognitive abilities decline. It is essential for the elderly to perform more cognitive exercises. Previous studies have shown that arithmetic calculations require attention span and that playing video games requires executive function. Therefore, we developed a serious game involving mental arithmetic calculations specifically for improving attention span and executive functions. Our objective was to analyze the effectiveness of the game and the efficacy of the game’s mechanic factors affecting attention span and executive function in the elderly. Forty elderly volunteers who are over 60 years of age were invited to join an eight-week cognitive training program through an elderly social welfare center. Four assessment tests were used in pre-test and post-test before and after the training period. D-CAT and SAT are used for screening attention span; TMT-A and TMT-B are used for screening executive function. They were instructed to play the game for at least 15 min per day, 5 days per week, for a total of 8 weeks. There were three independent variables (difficulty, pressure, and competition) with two parameters that could be selected. A paired-sample t-test showed the effective results by comparing the pre-test scores and post-test scores of the cognitive training. There were significant improvements in attention span and executive functions. The mixed repeated-measure ANOVA and MANCOVA results showed that two game mechanic factors (difficulty and pressure) had a significant effect and an interaction effect, but the other factor (competition) had a non-significant effect. In conclusion, the game showed a significant enhancement in both attention span and executive functions after training, and the difficulty factor and the pressure factor were shown to have an effect, but the competition factor was shown to have no effect.
SHOOT, TOTAL PHENOLIC, AND ANTHOCYANIN PRODUCTION OF Plectranthus amboinicus WITH ORGANIC FERTILIZING

Bangun-bangun [ Plectranthus amboinicus] is a functional vegetable that is used as lactagogue. This research was aimed to provide information of the effect of organic fertilizer on shoot, total phenolic, and anthocyanin production of bangun-bangun. This experiment was conducted at Bogor Agricultural University, Leuwikopo experimental station (Indonesia), from December 2012 to February 2013. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with single factor with five combination of organic fertilizer treatments (combination of cow manure 12.3 t ha-1, rock phosphate 1.5 t ha-1, rice-hull ash 5.5 t ha-1) with three replications. The result showed that application of organic fertilizer increased of shoot production. Application of 12.3 t ha-1 cow manure + 1.5 t ha-1 rock phosphate + 5.5 t ha-1 rice-hull ash produced shoot dry weight ha-1 (57.33%) and metabolite production ha-1 (total phenolic 12.06%, anthocyanin 41.73%) higher than no fertilizing (P > 0.05). Application of cow manure + rock phosphate produced the lowest shoot dry weight ha-1 and metabolite production ha-1. The result of this research suggested that nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium were needed on shoot production of bangun-bangun.
Dense tracking, mapping and scene labeling using a depth camera

Presentamos un sistema de localizacion con informacion densa, reconstruccion 3D, y deteccion de objetos en ambientes tipo escritorio, usando una camara de profundidad; el sensor Kinect. La camara se mueve manualmente mientras se estima su posicion, y se construye un modelo denso con informacion de color de la escena que se actualiza permanentemente. El usuario puede, alternativamente, acoplar el modulo de deteccion de objetos (YOLO: you only look once [1]) para detectar y propagar al modelo informacion de categorias de objetos comunmente encontrados sobre escritorios, como monitores, teclados, libros, vasos y laptops, obteniendo un modelo con color asociado a la categoria del objeto. La posicion de la camara es estimada usando una tecnica modelo-frame con el algoritmo iterativo de punto mas cercano (ICP, iterative closest point) con resolucion en niveles, logrando una trayectoria libre de deriva, robustez a movimientos rapidos de la camara y a condiciones variables de luz. Simultaneamente, los mapas de profundidad son fusionados en una estructura volumetrica desde las posiciones estimadas de la camara. Para visualizar una representacion explicita de la escena se emplea el algoritmo marching cubes. Los algoritmos de localizacion, fusion, marching cubes y deteccion de objetos fueron implementados usando hardware para procesamiento grafico con el fin de mejorar el desempeno del sistema. Se lograron resultados sobresalientes en la posicion de la camara, alta calidad en la geometria y color del modelo, estabilidad del color usando el modulo de deteccion de objetos (robustez a detecciones erroneas) y manejo exitoso de multiples instancias de la misma categoria
Disrupting the Status Quo with Early-Stage BIM-Based Energy Modeling

This paper poses the question: Is BIM-based energy simulation reliable? If so, how might this impact early-stage design? This study compares schematic buildings modeled in a BIM-based tool and in conventional building performance software, evaluates the fidelity of data transfer and calculation engine performance, and compares assumptions with conventional methods. Results show that the tested tool provides similar results to an industry-leading software; this can embolden designers to use this at conceptual design and massing stages. The ability to gain traditional engineering insight early in design provides new opportunities for designers to quantify potential energy savings much earlier in the design process than has been historically possible. Improvements in information transfer to energy modelers to streamline detailed model creation are also discussed.
Phyco-Synthesized Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Using Marine Macroalgae, Ulva fasciata Delile, Characterization, Antibacterial Activity, Photocatalysis, and Tanning Wastewater Treatment

The aqueous extract of marine green macroalgae, Ulva fasciata Delile, was harnessed for the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs). The conversion to ZnO-NPs was characterized by color change, UV–vis spectroscopy, FT-IR, TEM, SEM-EDX, and XRD. Data showed the formation of spherical and crystalline ZnO-NPs with a size range of 3–33 nm. SEM-EDX revealed the presence of Zn and O in weight percentages of 45.3 and 31.62%, respectively. The phyco-synthesized ZnO-NPs exhibited an effective antibacterial activity against the pathogenic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The bacterial clear zones ranged from 21.7 ± 0.6 to 14.7 ± 0.6 mm with MIC values of 50–6.25 µg mL−1. The catalytic activity of our product was investigated in dark and visible light conditions, using the methylene blue (MB) dye. The maximum dye removal (84.9 ± 1.2%) was achieved after 140 min in the presence of 1.0 mg mL−1 of our nanocatalyst under the visible light at a pH of 7 and a temperature of 35 °C. This percentage was decreased to 53.4 ± 0.7% under the dark conditions. This nanocatalyst showed a high reusability with a decreasing percentage of ~5.2% after six successive cycles. Under the optimum conditions, ZnO-NPs showed a high efficacy in decolorizing the tanning wastewater with a percentage of 96.1 ± 1.7%. Moreover, the parameters of the COD, BOD, TSS, and conductivity were decreased with percentages of 88.8, 88.5, 96.9, and 91.5%, respectively. Moreover, nano-ZnO had a high efficacy in decreasing the content of the tanning wastewater Cr (VI) from 864.3 ± 5.8 to 57.3 ± 4.1 mg L−1 with a removal percentage of 93.4%.
Arithmetic specializations in polynomials.

90 years ago David Hubert published in this Journal a work on the irreducibility of polynomials [4]. His principal result was äs follows: Given an irreducible polynomial F(x, y) in 0[x, y], where 0 is the field of rational numbers, there exists an infinite sequence of rational integers *v (v = l, 2 , . . . ) such that F(JCV, y) is irreducible in Q[>>]. Later on Dörge [2], Emmy Noether [6] and Siegel [9] made first contributions to better understanding and the development of the phenomena touched upon by the Hilbert's Theorem. It is recognized now äs one of his famous theorems which influenced the Solutions of many deep problems of Galois Theory and Algebraic Geometry.
Pengaruh Fibronektin pada Kultur Sel Punca Limbal (SPL) Tikus

Abstract Availability of limbus stem cells (LSC) is very limited considering the number of donors SCL very less as compared to the needs, so it is necessary LSC production in vitro. The success of in vitro culture of LSC is strongly influenced by environmental conditions, one of which is the use of the extracellular matrix. Selection of the appropriate type of matrix in the LSC culture, can increase proliferation and facilitate the application of transplantation.

Trapped in contradictions: professionals’ accounts of the concept of schizophrenia and its use in clinical practice

ABSTRACT Background The concept of schizophrenia has been contested since its inception. Over the last decades, criticism of the concept has become increasingly mainstream and calls for its abandonment have intensified. Nevertheless, the concept remains widely used and retains taken-for-granted status within much mental health research and practice. The combination of its contested status and continued use raises questions about how it is used and with what implications for people who receive the diagnosis. Methods This study explores how ‘schizophrenia’ is spoken about by mental health professionals who use the diagnosis in day-to-day practice. Eight interviews with professionals across professions were analysed using Foucauldian Discourse Analysis. Results Two striking and consistent themes were identified. The first is a discrepancy between the way participants talked about ‘schizophrenia’ to the interviewer, and the way they described talking about it in clinical encounters. The second is the potentially entrapping impact of the wider discourses participants drew on in talk about clinical encounters. Conclusions The study concludes with reflections on how those working in the mental health field can break out of this discursive entrapment, and help the people they work with do the same.
Body Composition Asymmetries in University Ice Hockey Players and Their Implications for Lower Back Pain and Leg Injury

Abstract Resta, T, Frenette, S, Rizk, A, and Fortin, M. Body composition asymmetries in university ice hockey players and their implications for lower back pain and leg injury. J Strength Cond Res 36(10): 2830–2836, 2022—Right to left asymmetries in body composition have been examined across many sports, suggesting possible implications for lower back pain (LBP) and decreased level of performance. However, we are not aware of any study that has examined the presence and implications of morphological asymmetries in ice hockey players. The purpose of this study was to (a) investigate body composition asymmetries in female and male university-level ice hockey players and (b) examine whether the degree of body composition asymmetry is associated with the history of LBP and lower-limb injury (LLI). A total of 32 players (female = 18, male = 14) were included in this cross-sectional study (e.g., university research center setting). Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) was used to acquire body composition measurements. The parameters of interest included bone mass, lean body mass, and fat mass, for the right and left sides and body segments (e.g., arm, leg, trunk, and total), separately. The history of LBP and LLI was obtained using a self-reported demographic questionnaire. The statistical significance for the study was set at p < 0.05. Our findings revealed significant side-to-side asymmetry in arm and total bone mass in females, with higher values on the right side. Both males and females also had significantly greater trunk lean body mass on the left side. With the exception of greater arm bone mass asymmetry being associated with LBP in the past 3 months, there was no other significant association between the degree of asymmetry with LBP and LLI. This study provides novel data regarding the presence of asymmetry in body composition in university-level ice hockey players. Monitoring body composition in athletes provides information that can be used by athletic trainers and strength and conditioning coaches to develop injury prevention, performance optimization, and targeted rehabilitation programs.
Protective effect of an ethanol extract mixture of Aralia
 elata, Chaenomeles sinensis fruit, and
 Glycyrrhizae radix against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion
 injury in rats and excitotoxic and oxidative neuronal damage

Aralia elata , Chaenomeles sinensis fruit, and Glycyrrhizae radix have been widely used as oriental medicinal plants in Korea, China and Japan and found to possess anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activities. The current study was conducted to investigate the neuroprotec tive effect of an ethanol extract of a mixture of A. elata , C. sinensis fruit, and Glycyrrhizae radix (ACG) against ischemia-induced brain injury in rats and excitotoxic and oxidative neuronal death in primarily cultured rat cortical neurons. Transient focal cerebral ischemia was induced by 2 h middle cerebral artery occlusion followed by 24 h reperfusion (MCAO/R) in rats. Oral administration of ACG (10, 25, and 50 mg/kg) 30 min before MCAO, after 1 h of MCAO, and after 1 h of reperfusion reduced MCAO/R-induced brain infarct and edema formation. ACG also inhibited development of behavioral disabilities in MCAO/R-treated rats. Exposure of cul tured cortical neurons to 500 μM glutamate for 12 h resulted in neuronal cell death. ACG (1, 10, and 50 μg/mL) inhibited glutamate-induced neuronal death. Furthermore, ACG inhibited 100 μM hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 )- and hypoxia-induced neuronal death. These results sug gest that the neuroprotective effect of ACG against ischemia-induced brain damage might be associated with its anti-excitotoxic and anti-oxidative activity and that ACG may have a therapeutic role for prevention of neurodegeneration in stroke.
