DRIVING ASSISTANCE APPARATUS AND PROGRAM

A driving assistance apparatus determines whether or not a road section corresponding to a current location of an own vehicle corresponds to a no-passing zone. A leading vehicle present ahead of the own vehicle is detected. An operation state of the detected leading vehicle is recognized. A passing maneuver performed by the own vehicle to pass the detected leading vehicle is detected. A warning operation to output a warning to a driver of the own vehicle is performed, when the passing maneuver is detected under a condition that the road section corresponding to the current location is determined to correspond to the no-passing zone. The warning operation is prohibited when the recognized operation state of the leading vehicle meets a predetermined passing-allowed condition that is a condition under which passing is allowed.
MECHANICAL FUZE WITH SELF-DESTRUCT MECHANISM

A mechanical fuze for aerial ordnance devices having an extendable probe, and impact sensor mounted on the probe, an impact responsive inertia weight operable with an auxiliary firing pin as a backup for the probe sensor, and a self-destruct assembly. The self-destruct assembly includes a percussion primer actuated during extension of the probe and coupled to a thin column of deflagrating material sheathed in a flexible metal and having an explosive charge at its terminal portion for driving a piston against the inertia weight if both the probe sensor and inertia weight remain unactivated when the column burn front reaches the explosive charge, thereby detonating the device through the auxiliary firing pin.
Cochrane corner: ergonomic positioning or equipment for treating carpal tunnel syndrome

Background: Non-surgical treatments, including ergonomic positioning or equipment, are sometimes offered to people experiencing mild to moderate symptoms from carpal tunnel syndrome. The effectiveness and duration from ergonomic positioning or equipment interventions for treating carpal tunnel syndrome are unknown. Objectives: To assess the effects of ergonomic positioning compared with no treatment, a placebo or another non-surgical intervention in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. Search methods: We searched the Cochrane Neuromuscular Disease Group Specialized Register (14 June 2011), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (2011, Issue 2, in The Cochrane Library), MEDLINE (1966 to June 2011), EMBASE (1980 to June 2011), CINAHL Plus (1937 to June 2011), and AMED (1985 to June 2011). We also reviewed the reference lists of randomized or quasi-randomized trials identified from the electronic search. Selection criteria: Randomized or quasi-randomized controlled trials comparing ergonomic positioning or equipment with no treatment, placebo or another non-surgical intervention in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. Data collection and analysis: Two review authors independently selected trials for inclusion, extracted data and assessed risk of bias of included studies. They calculated risk ratios and mean differences with 95% confidence intervals for the primary and secondary outcomes. Results of clinically and statistically homogeneous trials were pooled, where possible, to provide estimates of the effect of ergonomic positioning or equipment.
Mailbox-Based vs. Log-Based Query Completion for Mail Search

Recent research studies on mail search have shown that the longer the query, the better the quality of results, yet a majority of mail queries remain very short and searchers struggle with formulating queries. A known mechanism to assist users in this task is query auto-completion, which has been highly successful in Web search, where it leverages huge logs of queries issued by hundreds of millions of users. This approach cannot be applied directly to mail search as personal query logs are small, mailboxes are not shared and other users' queries are not necessarily generalizable to all. We therefore propose here to leverage the mailbox content in order to generate suggestions, taking advantage of mail-specific features. We then compare this approach to a recent study that augments an individual user's mail search history with query logs from similar users'', where the similarity is driven by demographics. Finally we show how combining both types of approaches allows for better suggestions quality but also increases the chance that the desired message be retrieved. We validate our claims via a manual qualitative evaluation and large scale quantitative experiments conducted on the query log of Yahoo Mail.

Transition in student motivation during a scratch and an app inventor course

Considering the declining enrolling in computing fields and the increasing demand in STEM disciplines, innovative methods should be employed to attract students in computing disciplines. MIT Scratch and App Inventor for Android visual programming environments are two such approaches. This is a comparative study to investigate any differences in the transition of students' motivation to learn programming using Scratch and App Inventor for Android in K-12 educational settings. Intrinsic goal orientation, task value, control of learning beliefs and self efficacy were found to be increased using these two entry-level learning programming environments from the beginning to the middle of the course. No effect on extrinsic motivation was found. Evaluating the transition in motivation throughout the whole course period for both environments (work in progress) will have an impact on educators to retain students' interest in programming and improve their attitudes towards computing.

What is Postmetaphysics? Zabala on the Question of Being

This essay offers a critical assessment of Santiago Zabala's recent book, The Remains of Being: Hermeneutic Ontology After Metaphysics, with the intent of bringing to light Zabala's most provocative claims about hermeneutics, post-Heideggerian ontology, and the future of philosophy in the postmetaphysical epoch. After reflecting on the aims (section II) and structure of Zabala's book (section III), the essay attempts to make clear certain tensions that emerge from Zabala's basic terminology—specifically, the remains and remnants of Being—with respect to the subjective interpretation of Being Zabala defends (section IV). The paper concludes (section V) by pressing Zabala for a more thoroughgoing defense of his most ambitious claims about the primacy of hermeneutics in postmetaphysical thought, particularly regarding his reading of Heidegger's works.

The innovative heat pump boiler to double energy efficiency in heat generation

Heating today is responsible for 50% of the EU's annual energy consumption. However, a large part of this energy is wasted because almost half of the EU's buildings have boilers installed before 1992, with an efficiency rate of below 60%. Transition has started with the deployment of regulatory measures (Energy Efficiency Directive, Building Energy Efficiency Directive, Energy Labelling Directive, national building codes…) and the prospect of substantial savings in heating and hot water expenses. 

boostHEAT is positioned right at the front of this transition towards energy efficiency. The company has developed a new generation of boilers, heat pump boilers, that use the heat pump effect to reduce by 50% energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. At the core of this achievement is a novel thermodynamic compressor, which is used to increase the efficiency of the heating cycle. Performance of the Apache boiler can double that of condensing boilers and is competitive with the most efficient electric heat pumps

boostHEAT was founded in 2011 in France. Early on, they received the interest of high profile industry participants. GRDF (main natural gas distribution company in France) and Dalkia (leader in energy services) amongst others. Today boostHEAT employs 32 professionals (of which 22 are engineers), has filled 5 patents all around the word and raised over €4.5 million in private capital. 

boostHEAT ambition is to progressively become an industrial group. We have reached an agreement with the industrial group Bosch to progressively develop our manufacturing operations at their site in Vénissieux, providing a regeneration opportunity to the declined activity of the factory.

The goal of the Apache project is to bring the Apache boilers (20kW) to a state of serial production and commercialization, that will enable the most efficient heating systems to be installed in renovations of individual homes.

Results of development: the standard of mechanical connections of Autonomous Robot Modules and the standard of electronic connections and transmission of autonomic robot modules will be protected by intellectual property rights. The research works will include type 2 and type 3, so the project is a complex project. Researchers will be involved in the implementation of the research – mainly researchers with whom the company has positive relations and experience in conducting R & D projects supported by success in the form of commercialisation of R & D results. The company declares the dissemination of the results of industrial research and dissemination of the results of development. The company also declares the first implementation of the R & D results within 3 years from the completion of the project in the form of implementation into its own business. The project concerns the construction of a new site, a new unit and therefore the character of an initial investment in the form of a new plant. Implementation of the comprehensive project will be completed on 31.12.2019.
Effects of exogenous abscisic acid on the expression of citrus fruit ripening-related genes and fruit ripening

Despite exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) treatment is a widely-used effective method to prove its role in plants, this method has been limitedly explored in citrus fruits. Here, we examined the effects of exogenous ABA and nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) on the color index H value and the contents of soluble sugars, organic acids and endogenous hormones in the fruits of Citrus reticulata Blanco cv. Ponkan. Additionally, the expression profiles of genes involved in the ABA, sugar and organic acid metabolism and signal transduction pathway in fruits were also investigated. The results indicated that exogenous ABA could accelerate fruit coloring, significantly decrease the organic acid content, and affect the ripening of citrus fruit, while treatment with NDGA could restrain fruit coloring and acid degradation. Exogenous ABA treatment produced minor effect on the accumulation of sugars but largely regulated the expression of most sugar- and acid-related genes, indicating a coordinate interaction between the ABA signaling pathway and sucrose signaling pathway to regulate citrus fruit ripening. Especially, CsSUC 3 plays a vital role in accumulation of sugars during the last ripening stage of citrus fruit, which could be induced by ABA treatment. The transcript levels of CsACO1 and CsNADP-IDH in ABA-treated fruits were significantly higher than in the control fruits during the late ripening stages, which was conducive to the degradation of organic acids. Moreover, ABA could restrict its own accumulation at 14 DAY not only by inducing the expression of ABA 8′-hydroxylase 1 but also by reducing the expression of CsNCED1, and the transcriptional levels of other ABA-related genes were largely triggered by exogenous ABA. Overall, ABA is a positive regulator of ripening and could be used to regulate citrus fruit ripening effectively.

Kristin Peterson. 2014. Speculative Markets: Drug Circuits and Derivative Life in Nigeria

Kristin Peterson. 2014. Speculative Markets: Drug Circuits and Derivative Life in Nigeria. Durham, NC and London: Duke University Press. 238 pp. Kristin Peterson's book is a powerful description of the Nigerian pharmaceutical markets. Its six chapters illustrate the ways daily market life (labor, price, credit, and other social practices) is linked to transnational financial capital as well as policy changes in North America and Nigeria that are mutually constitutive, as well as localized, in significant Lagos markets. Based on extensive archival search, observations, as well as extensive interviews conducted over a period of four summers in Nigeria, the author ethnographically situates Nigeria as a geographically centralized place from which one can see how the rest of the pharmaceutical and other related worlds have come into being. The book focuses on the speculative practices found in the pharmaceutical market to emphasize the ways actors negotiate structural constraints and market conditions. The author examines how volatile markets and speculative practices created new transcontinental drug circuits that are now integral to the drug industry and the lives of Nigerians. Using Idumota (a neighborhood on Lagos Island described as the main market for pharmaceutical distribution in West Africa) as the focus of her research, the author situates the Nigerian drug market and its practices in the context of speculative capital, manufacturing offshoring, and drug marketing. She examines several historical convergences that took place within Nigeria that made it possible for the control over national drug distribution to switch from Nigerian pharmacists and North American and European multinational drug companies to Igbo traders and generic drug manufacturers located mostly in China and India. She describes vividly how people who work in markets anticipate market volatility often fueled by currency fluctuations, changing labor costs, or changing demands within corporations or among consumers and then take risks by speculating on how the market will play out. She further interrogates how multinational corporations engage in merging and acquiring other companies; offshoring much of their businesses to India and China to save on costs; pursued drug development that will lead to blockbuster profits and skip making other needed drugs such as those for neglected tropical diseases; and like in Nigeria, how they dump assets, drug products, and entire markets not serving them well. Peterson argues that the Structural Adjustment Program (SAP) forced on Nigeria by the IMF in 1986 during the regime of General Ibrahim Babangida impacted negatively on the Nigerian pharmaceutical industry, describing how investment turnover could not be met mostly due to currency devaluation and the public's increasing inability to purchase drugs. …

Hotels’ Management Optimiser (HMO) – Pricing, Forecasting, Distribution – innovative new generation software for setting and forecasting prices and managing hotel revenues

Reference number of the aid programme: SA.41471(2015/X) Purpose of public aid: Article 25 of EC Regulation No 651/2014 of 17 June 2014 declaring certain types of aid compatible with the internal market in the application of Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty (OJ L. I'm sorry. EU L 187/1 of 26.06.2014). The subject of the project is the implementation of research works and the development of new advanced algorithms allowing for forecasting hotel services prices depending on a wide range of internal and external factors and managing hotel pricing policy based on knowledge. The main aim of the project is to develop a prototype of an innovative IT solution for dynamic forecasting of hotel room prices and hotel revenue management in Poland and around the world – Hotels’ Management Optimiser (HMO). The project aims to develop a global product innovation. The main problem that the tool developed in the project will solve will be the support of hotel managers in response to the question: what price should I set for today, tomorrow and the next day? The planned solution is an innovative product – unique software based on self-learning algorithms that process large data in real time (e.g. weather data, hotel system data and tourist portals and OTA e.g. booking.com, historical price data) using autonomous neural networks and other advanced data processing methods (e.g. random forests, support vector machines). It will allow to predict price behaviour with high accuracy and in advance, supporting decision-making by managers and thus increase the revenue and profitability of hotels. The product developed will also allow direct management of hotel pricing policies from the software level (publication and price changes in a wide range of booking systems).
Isotopic links to atmopheric water's sources

The hydrological cycle, with its feedbacks related to water vapour and clouds, is the largest source of uncertainty in weather prediction and climate models. Particularly processes that occur on scales smaller than the model grid lead to errors, which can compensate one another, making them difficult to detect and correct for. Undetectable compensating errors critically limit the understanding of hydrological extremes, the response of the water cycle to a changing climate, and the interpretation of paleoclimate records. Stable water isotopes have a unique potential to serve as the needed constraints, as they provide measures of moisture origin and of the phase change history. We have recently spearheaded a revised view of the atmospheric water cycle, which highlights the importance of connections on a regional scale. This implies that in some areas, all relevant processes can be studied on a regional scale. The Nordic Seas are an ideal case of such a natural laboratory, with distinct evaporation events, shallow transport processes, and swift precipitation formation. Together with recent technological advances in isotope measurements and in-situ sample collection, this will allow us to acquire a new kind of observational data set that will follow the history of water vapour from source to sink. The high-resolution, high-precision isotope data will provide a combined view of established and novel natural isotopic source tracers and set new benchmarks for climate models. A unique palette of sophisticated model tools will allow us to decipher, synthesize and exploit these observations, and to identify compensating errors between water cycle processes in models. In ISLAS, my team and I will thus make unprecedented use of stable isotopes to provide the sought-after constraints for an improved understanding of the hydrological cycle in nature and in climate models, leading towards improved predictions of future climate.
