Developing a Mobile Game Environment to Support Disadvantaged Learners

This paper reports on the development of WeBuild, a mobile learning game designed to engage learners difficult to reach with IT learning. The development is based on a mobile game engine for the Android smart phone that was devised to support the required multiplayer and location based services. We played and tested the mobile learning game in a training facility of the building industry. The results indicate that the learners accepted the game for the low entry barriers and were motivated to use the game in an educational context. This paper describes the WeBuild prototype and the underlying game engine. Eventually, it presents results from the game session that was carried to assess interface and gameplay usability, technical functionality and motivational aspects of the game design.

The support block also includes third and fourth sidewalls unitary with the base and extending along a width of the support block, and the third and fourth sidewalls each define a third gripping feature. An upper surface of the support block defines an elongate channel, and a pair of apertures are formed in the elongate channel with a coupling feature embedded therein.
Determination of the Effect of Water Depth and Flow Velocity on the Quality of an In-Stream Habitat in Terms of Climate Change

The study is focused on the objectification of an assessment of the quality of an in-stream habitat in mountain and piedmont streams by the decision-making Instream Flow Incremental Methodology (IFIM) due to climate change. The quality of the habitat was assessed on the basis of a bioindication, represented by ichthyofauna. Sixty-four reaches of 47 watercourses in five river basins in Slovakia, in which ichthyologic, topographic, and hydraulic measurements were performed, were evaluated. The effect of the physical characteristics of the stream channel on the quality of the in-stream habitat has been verified on a number of reference reaches in which the measurements were performed at different water levels. From the set of the data measured, an analysis aimed at determining the impact of individual characteristics on the quality of an in-stream habitat has been carried out. The results show the optimum ratio of the weights of the flow velocity and water depth for an assessment of the quality of an in-stream habitat due to climate change.
Unveiling the hidden: a search for light dark matter with ccds

Dark matter (DM) is a ubiquitous yet invisible presence in our universe. It dictated how galaxies formed in the first place, and now moves stars around them at puzzling speeds. The DM mass in the universe is known to be five times that of ordinary matter; yet its true nature remains elusive. 

Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), relics from the early universe, are a compelling explanation chased by sensitive experiments in deep underground laboratories. However, searches for heavy WIMPs (≈100 times the proton mass), the most theoretically natural candidates, have been so far unsuccessful. Nor has evidence for such heavy particles yet been found at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Alternative scenarios are now under scrutiny, such as the existence of a hidden sector of lighter DM particles that interact, differently than WIMPs, also with electrons. 

DAMIC-M (Dark Matter In CCDs at Modane) will search beyond the heavy WIMP paradigm by detecting nuclear recoils and electrons induced by light DM in charge-coupled devices (CCDs). The 0.5 kg detector will be installed at the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane, France. In this novel and unconventional use of CCDs, which are commonly employed for digital imaging in astronomical telescopes, the ionization charge will be detected in the most massive CCDs ever built with exquisite spatial resolution (15 μm x 15 μm pixel). The crucial innovation in these devices is the non-destructive, repetitive measurement of the pixel charge, which results in the high-resolution detection of a single electron and unprecedented sensitivity to light DM (≈ eV energies are enough to free an electron in silicon). By counting individual charges in a detector with extremely low leakage current – a combination unmatched by any other DM experiment – DAMIC-M will take a leap forward of several orders of magnitude in the exploration of the hidden sector, a jump that may be rewarded by serendipitous discovery.
Measurement and analysis of 3G WCDMA network performance case study: Yogyakarta Indonesia

Yogyakarta is an education and tourism city. The quality of internet services is needed to support the education quality and tourist services. These services are supported by 3G WCDMA technology. This paper will discuss the need of Information Technology (IT) for education and tourism sector, and also assesment of the IT performance in Yogyakarta, specially data sevices for mobile devices. The most of user using 3G WCDMA technology, so we focus measure and evaluate the performance of 3G WCDMA services. In Yogyakarta, education and tourism sector spread to many places like urban, sub urban, and rural area. So In this research we investigate the performance at that areas. Some parameters were measured and analyzed is RSCP (Received Signal Code Power), Ec/No (Energy perchip to Noise ratio), CCSR (Call Completion Success Rate), CSSR (Call Setup Success Rate), and SHOSR (Soft Handover Success Rate). This research find that the lowest of CSSR and CCSR percentage is in urban areas, about 90.41% and 91.78%. Some call requests in this area that can be served, but its still upper than CSSR standards (CSSR ≥ 90%). While in Sub-urban, the value of CSSR about 97.33%. SHOSR percentages in all three areas is very good, there aren't soft handover failure. So by this result, we recommend that services in urban areas should be improved as an impact of large number of user and contour of buildings.
Ifmif-Dones preparatory phase

The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility - Demo Oriented NEutron Source (IFMIF-DONES) is a novel Research Infrastructure based on a unique neutron source with energy spectrum and flux tuned to those expected for the first wall in future fusion reactors, to investigate radiation damage phenomena and to characterize materials irradiated under such conditions. It will also develop a unique high-current high duty-cycle accelerator technology, liquid metal target technology and advanced control systems.
Since 2007, the original IFMIF project has been pursued by Japan and the European Union under the Broader Approach Agreement in the field of fusion energy research and in December 2017 Fusion for Energy (F4E)positively evaluated the Spain-Croatia joint proposal to site DONES in Granada (Spain) and at this moment a wide international collaboration is being fostered to design and build the facility.
The primary goal of the IFMIF-DONES Preparatory Phase project is to elaborate and draft the consortium agreement allowing for the construction of the facility.
During the Preparatory Phase, the Project will deal with the financial, legal and organisational issues related to the international character of the facility during its construction and operation phases. The Preparatory Phase is also the ideal framework to attract other partners, also to ensure the operation and exploitation of the project, such as the already confirmed Andalucía Region Authority and the Spanish Government, EUROfusion and F4E that cover about 75 % of construction costs.
ELECTRIC CAR.

This invention relates to an improvement in driving performance of an electric car in which the driving wheels are driven by a motor. More specifically, the first feature of the present invention improves driving performance without making its mechanical construction complicated. The second feature of the present invention improves motion performance of the electric car by simplifying the structure of the steering wheels serving also as the driving wheels and improving freedom of the turning operation of the steering wheels. To accomplish these objects, in an electric car equipped with the driving wheels (2a, 2b, 3a, 3b) on both sides of the car body, the present invention disposes independently the driving motors (21a, 21b, 22a, 22b) for them, controls independently these motors and applies further this structure to the steering wheels.
Photonics for high-dimensional quantum networking

Humanity’s reliance on the rapid and free flow of information cannot be understated. Over the last two decades, control over the spectral, temporal, and spatial structure of light has led to a massive increase in optical data transfer rates via signal multiplexing. For example, the simultaneous encoding of information in 84,236 spatial and frequency channels was recently used for achieving a record 10 Petabit/sec data transmission rate. As quantum technologies mature, so will the needs of a quantum infrastructure that relies on the efficient and noise-robust transfer of information. Precise control over the photonic degrees of freedom (DOFs) of space, time, and frequency offer the potential to enable similar breakthroughs for the fields of quantum communication and networking, and in parallel unlock key functionalities for quantum imaging and sensing with light.

PIQUaNT will develop methods for the coherent control and measurement of the high-dimensional position-momentum and time-frequency DOFs of a photon, and drive forward the creation of techniques for combating sources of noise that inhibit the long-distance transfer of multi-mode quantum information. PIQUaNT will in turn apply these techniques in demonstrations of noise-resilient, high-capacity entanglement distribution in multiple photonic DOFs over commercially available multi-mode and multi-core fibres. Through the realisation of a prototype entanglement-based high-dimensional quantum communications network, PIQUaNT will serve as a blueprint for the future development of noise-robust quantum information networks that saturate the information carrying capacity of a photon.
Effect of bubbles on the characterisation of striae in glasses

Chemical striae are a major component of the inhomogeneities present in a wide variety of natural and man-made glasses and are often the source of the poor quality of glass products. To detect and quantify the extent of striae in glasses, an image processing method has recently been established. However, when applying this method, it is found that the presence of bubbles (gas inclusions) results in systematic overestimation of the intensity and size of the striae. To solve this problem, a new technique for image processing is proposed, which allows for an accurate quantification of striae in glasses. Such quantification is also crucial for glass scientists and industry to analyse the origin of inhomogeneities in glasses.
PRIVACY-PRESERVING CROSS-DOMAIN EXPERIMENTAL GROUP PARTITIONING AND MONITORING

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for privacy-preserving cross-domain experiment monitoring are described. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, by a first server of a MPC system, a request for digital content including a first secret share of an application instance identifier that identifies the application instance associated with the device. The first server conducts, in collaboration with a second server of the secure MPC system, a privacy-preserving selection process to select a winning digital component from a set of digital components. Each digital component has a corresponding unique experiment identifier and unique control identifier. A first secret share representing the winning digital component is generated. A response is generated and includes the first secret share of the selection result and data representing whether the application is in the experiment group or a control group for each digital component.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REACTIVATING AND PELLETIZING SORBENTS FOR GAS CAPTURING

The present invention uses spray of water to reactivate spent sorbent by hydration and simultaneously produce the reactivated sorbent in pelletized form. The use of spray water combined with movement of the sorbent can be controlled to produce reactivated sorbent of desirable size. The system and method eliminate the need for separate pelletization after reactivation of spent sorbent, and allow both to complete in one process and in one container. The system and method enable addition of calcium aluminate cements as coating to form pellets with core-in-shell structure thereby enhancing pellet strength and sorbent capacity for absorbing gas.

Valorization of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) Assets for local sustainable development in CE Regions

The just recently approved EU Work Plan for Culture (2015-2018) will develop on the previous one by adding some strategic dimension in order to “ensure  the excellence, innovation and competitiveness of the cultural and creative sectors and recognizing the sectors&#39; contribution to the goals of the Europe 2020 strategy for growth and jobs. The CE area is plenty of cultural heritage(CH) assets from centuries of history, arts, religion, human activities. The project  challenge is to identify, select and valorize the most promising Intangible CH in view to strengthen the identity and growth of CE area. As already underlined by the implementation of 2016 Cultural and Creative Sector Guarantee Facility EU initiative, the lack of financial resources and expertise of cultural operators and citizens to meet financial expectations and to develop and manage cultural projects, have often as consequence the lack of sustainability. ARTISTIC intends to contribute to change this conditions with the improvement of the relationship between cultural operators, citizens and financial operators. It aims at supporting all targets of reference (citizens, cultural  and local operators, financial operators) to improve the quality of their action in view to valorize ICHs and make the local projects sustainable. To reach this objective, ARTISTIC will develop a strategy with toolset and services. On-line panel will permit synergies at CE level both on the subjects and the financial aspects, particularly crowdfunding(cultural-social approach). Moreover, for the sustainability of the actions mediator will be trained in view to set-up ICH desks in all project areas to continue the assistance. The transnational value comes by the common strategy, the exchange of knowledge(with selection of success valorization cases), the link with financial community through the investment panel and the synergies with CE crowdfunding platforms, to allow increasing transnational investment strategies.

Assessment of Failures in Collaborative Human-Robot Assembly Workcells

Collaborative Human-Robot workcells introduce robot-assisted operations in small-volume production or assembly processes, where conventional automation is noncompetitive. Unfortunately, the collaborative work of humans and robots sharing the same work area and/or working on the same assembly operation may pose unprecedented problems and failure risks. Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) is a popular tool to design reliable processes, which investigates the potential failure modes from the perspective of severity, occurrence and detection. The traditional FMECA approach requires the assessment of failure modes to be carried out collectively by a group of experts. Nevertheless, in the field of Human-Robot collaboration, experts are often unlikely to agree in their judgements, due to the almost inexistent historical records. Additionally, the traditional approach is not appropriate for decentralized production/assembly processes.
The evolvability of bacterial multicellularity

There are numerous evolutionary origins of multicellularity. Yet, only in a few cases was the origin of multicellularity also followed by an enormous diversification of multicellular forms and functions. This raises the question what determines the evolvability of multicellular phenotypes, i.e. their capacity to undergo evolutionary change? I will study the evolvability of one of the simplest forms of bacterial multicellularity: colony formation in the Bacilli. Despite their simplicity, Bacilli can express a wide range of colony morphologies. The physical forces that shape these morphologies are well understood. In addition, there is a detailed understanding of the gene regulatory network (GRN) underlying colony formation and ample of genomic data. I will study how the GRN underlying multicellularity affects its evolvability. First, I will determine which evolutionary changes in the GRN are associated with the diversification of colony morphologies. To this end, I will construct a phylogenetic tree of the Bacillales, compare all genomes and identify the genetic changes that correlate with changes in colony morphology. Second, I will determine if and how these genetic changes give rise to changes in colony morphology. I will construct Bacillus subtilis mutants, which harbor the identified genetic changes, and examine how their colonies develop. Since colonies come about through the feedback between cells and their environment, I will use a unique combination of state-of-the-art biotechnologies to trace the transcriptomic and environmental changes in the colony over time. This will give an extraordinary detailed account of colony development in the Bacilli. Finally, I will examine why the morphological diversification of colonies was favored by selection, by studying the functional properties of colonies. Altogether, this will be the first comprehensive analysis on the evolvability of multicellularity, thereby giving a unique glimpse on how evolution innovates.

INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

A photonic integrated semiconductor device and method of providing a photonic integrated semiconductor device. The device comprises: a temperature-sensitive semiconductor component and a micro-thermoelectric module. The micro-thermoelectric module is formed adjacent the temperature-sensitive component and is configured to adjust the temperature of the temperature-sensitive component. The first aspect recognises that locating and forming a thermoelectric module adjacent a temperature-sensitive component can be advantageous in dealing with heat generated on an integrated circuit. Furthermore, arranging the thermoelectric module to adjust the temperature of the temperature-sensitive component may negate the need to provide both a thermoelectric module to cool a temperature-sensitive device and a local electric heater adjacent a device. That is to say, the two components may be replaced with a single integrated component in accordance with the first aspect.
