Implementation method of human-computer interaction system with large screen

To avoid camera calibration in the implementation of human-computer interaction system with large screen based on binocular stereo vision,one approximate and easy method is proposed.The distance between two cameras,left camera and the left side of screen,cameras and floor,the bottom side of screen and floor are measured to find the point of floor which is imaged as the same point with fingertip based on perspective projection model.One camera is connected with the point of floor as one space line.Two lines are intersected at the three-dimension spatial coordinate of fingertip served to position two-dimensional coordinate in the large screen.Mouse click is simulated by bend and stretch of index finger achieved by fingertip detection algorithm.Users are not aware of error even if position pointed by finger is inaccurate because mouse is seen by users when they move the hand.The method proposed is easier and more convenient than calibration method due to inaccurate position not seen by users so that system can be rapidly accomplished.
Microclimatic buffering of plant responses to macroclimate warming in temperate forests

Recent global warming is acting across ecosystems and threatening biodiversity. Yet, due to slow responses, many biological communities are lagging behind warming of the macroclimate (the climate of a large geographic region). The buffering of microclimates near the ground measured in localized areas, arising from terrain features such as vegetation and topography, can explain why many species are lagging behind macroclimate warming. However, almost all studies ignore the effects of microclimatic buffering and key uncertainties still exist about this mechanism. Microclimates are particularly evident in forests, where understorey habitats are buffered by overstorey trees. In temperate forests, the understorey contains the vast majority of plant diversity and plays an essential role in driving ecosystem processes.

The overall goal of FORMICA (FORest MICroclimate Assessment) is to quantify and understand the role of microclimatic buffering in modulating forest understorey plant responses to macroclimate warming. We will perform the best assessment to date of the effects of microclimates on plants by applying microtemperature loggers, experimental heating, fluorescent tubes and a large-scale transplant experiment in temperate forests across Europe. For the first time, plant data from the individual to ecosystem level will be related to microclimate along wide temperature gradients and forest management regimes. The empirical results will then be integrated in cutting-edge demographic distribution models to forecast plant diversity in temperate forests as macroclimate warms.

FORMICA will provide the first integrative study on microclimatic buffering of macroclimate warming in forests. Interdisciplinary concepts and methods will be applied, including from climatology, forestry and ecology.  FORMICA will reshape our current understanding of the impacts of climate change on forests and help land managers and policy makers to develop urgently needed adaptation strategies.
Trip-Oriented Energy Management Control Strategy for Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles

This paper presents a trip-oriented energy management control strategy for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). The proposed strategy provides system optimization and control methods to improve real-world fuel economy (FE) by optimizing the power demand distribution between fuel and battery electricity and the power delivery split between the mechanical and electrical paths in a PowerSplit PHEV architecture. A two degree of freedom system model is established to characterize the actuation dynamics and the power delivery properties of the powertrain. This paper achieves three important contributions to PHEV energy management control research: 1) the optimal control problem is solved considering both the nonlinearity of battery efficiency and the complexity of PowerSplit architecture; 2) a novel trip-oriented energy consumption preplanning method is proposed using a driving pattern-based dynamic programming approach; and 3) a feedback control system is designed to realize the optimal energy consumption process in real applications. The proposed energy management control strategy has been shown to improve FE in Ford Escape PHEVs.

Cross-border NETwork to foster Knowledge-intensive business Incubation and TEchnology transfer

Project in brief_x000D_
_x000D_
Mediterranean countries, in spite of significant investments in higher education and training, have always faced social inclusion and unemployment issues which affect territorial development processes. As a matter of fact, the static feature of local economic systems does not allow absorbing qualified manpower. On the contrary, an open innovation approach, interacting with geographically distant markets, may match smart local specialization with wider platforms of knowhow and relations with global markets. NET KITE project, inspired by Open Innovation philosophy and using Living Labs approach, is meant to support innovation transfer in order to make it functional to the growth and modernization of local economic systems and to the creation of new, qualified and sustainable jobs. The project will seek to convey innovation from research labs into the industrial sector and promote mutual exchange between young startups and/or mature enterprises._x000D_

Richard II and the Wider Gaelic World: A Reassessment

Abstract Although Richard II's Irish expedition of 1394–95 has attracted considerable scholarly attention, the focus has largely been on Richard's relations with the colonial administration in Ireland, pointing mainly to the colonial government's plea for greater royal investment in the colony as the main factor underpinning Richard's decision to intervene in Ireland. Little attention, by comparison, has been devoted to exploring the king's relations with both the Gaelic Irish and Gaelic Scottish nobility. Using Richard's relations with the expanding Gaelic world as the main case study, this article reconsiders how developments in the Gaelic west influenced the king's decision to intervene in Ireland. Set against the backdrop of Anglo-Scottish relations and the Hundred Years’ War, the article draws on a broad range of Gaelic sources from Ireland and Scotland, English and Scottish governmental records, and material from the Avignon papacy. It uncovers and traces the development of the main Gaelic Irish and Gaelic Scottish dynasties during the late fourteenth century, their relationships with one another, and their unfolding connections with the English and Scottish crowns. By locating Richard's expeditions within the broader archipelagic context, this article argues that the wider Gaelic world, though on the geographic periphery of Ireland and Scotland, was capable of exerting a far greater degree of influence on the course of “British” politics than has previously been acknowledged.
G4MP2, DFT and CBS-Q calculation of proton and electron affinities, gas phase basicities and ionization energies of hydroxylamines and alkanolamines

The proton affinities, gas phase basicities and adiabatic ionization energies and electron affinities of some important hydroxylamines and alkanolamines were calculated using B3LYP, CBS-Q and G4MP2 methods. Also, the B3LYP method was used to calculate vertical ionization energies and electron affinities of the molecules. The calculated ionization energies are in the range of 8-10.5 eV and they decrease as the number of carbon atoms increases. Computational results and ion mobility spectrometry study confirm that some alkanolamines lose a water molecule due to protonation at oxygen site and form cationic cyclic compounds. Effect of different substitutions on the cyclization of ethanolamine was studied theoretically. Alkanolamines and hydroxylamines have two sites, oxygen and nitrogen atoms, to accept a proton. Therefore two proton affinities are defined for these molecules. Generally, protonation of nitrogen atoms is more favorable than protonation of oxygen sites. Hence, proton affinity values are more when the molecules are protonated at nitrogen than oxygen.
EVALUATION OF THE CORRELATION BETWEEN TIME MANAGEMENT PERCEPTIONS AND TIME MANAGEMENT BEHAVIORS OF SPORT MANAGEMENT STUDENTS

The aim of this study is to examine the correlation between the future perceptions of the students of the sports management department and their time management behavior. For this purpose, Gazi, Selcuk, Mugla and Firat University Sports Sciences Faculty, Sports Management students (n = 770) participated in the questionnaire voluntarily. The socio-demographic information form of the volunteers was applied to the future time perception scale developed by Husman and Shell (1996) and the Time Management Behavior Scale developed by Britton and Tesser (1991). The obtained data was recorded with the package program IBM SPSS 22. Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis, Spearman Correlation Analysis for the Correlation between future time sense and time management behavior were applied as a statistical process. As a result, there was a significant Correlation between gender, university and class, time management behaviors, gender, university and class variables. Furthermore, a too weak Correlation was found between the future time sense and the time management behavior on the positive side. This may be due to the students' personal development, social circles, socioeconomic status difference and the missions and visions of the students differ. Article visualizations:
Wound healing in rabbit corneas after flapless refractive lenticule extraction with a 345 nm ultraviolet femtosecond laser

Purpose To characterize corneal wound healing in a rabbit model after flapless refractive lenticule extraction with a 345 nm ultraviolet femtosecond laser. Setting Departments of Ophthalmology and Anatomy II, University of Erlangen-Nurnberg and Wavelight GmbH, Erlangen, Germany. Design Experimental study. Methods Flapless refractive lenticule extraction was performed in 1 eye each of 20 New Zealand white rabbits (−5.0 diopters). Groups of 4 animals were euthanized after 48 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 3 months, respectively. Corneal samples were prepared for histology and fluorescence microscopy. To assess corneal cell death, proliferation, and myofibroblastic transdifferentiation, terminal uridine deoxynucleotidyl nick end-labeling (TUNEL) assay as well as immunostaining for Ki67 and α-smooth muscle actin (αSMA) were performed on sagittal cryosections. Results Histology revealed a zone of keratocyte depletion with a thickness of approximately 50 μm around the extraction site. At 48 hours, pronounced TUNEL staining of keratocytes was detected around the interface (159.9 cells/mm ± 18.4 [SD]), which steadily decreased to 74.9 ± 19.8 cells/mm at 1 week and 5.7 ± 4.8 cells/mm at 2 weeks. Ki67 staining of keratocytes was evident at 48 hours (10.0 ± 3.8 cells/mm), which then decreased at 1 week (5.2 ± 1.7 cells/mm) and 2 weeks (0.4 ± 0.5 cells/mm). From 4 weeks onward, no TUNEL or Ki67 staining was detected. The corneal stroma was αSMA-negative at all timepoints. Conclusion Application of the 345 nm laser showed no signs of problematic repair processes in the cornea, which supports the initiation of the clinical phase.

Chemogenomics and in silico repurposing as an innovative approach for rapid drug discovery in tuberculosis

Tuberculosis is one of the most worrying Global and Public Health problems in the present day and causes a major economic and social burden, which can significantly drain a society’s resources. In 2015, 10.4 million people fell ill with tuberculosis and 1.8 million died from the disease. In addition, an estimated 480000 people developed multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.  The development of new drugs and new therapeutic regimens effective against drug susceptible and drug resistant tuberculosis is one of the greatest challenges in the way of tuberculosis control. Conventional drug discovery strategies are usually costly and time-consuming and, frequently, with low rates of success. This project aims to develop a new paradigm for tuberculosis drug development, using the drug repurposing strategy (to find new uses for already approved drugs) coupled with an in silico chemogenomics method. The focus will be targeting energy metabolism, particularly the oxidative phosphorylation, a novel target pathway in tuberculosis drug discovery. This research project has the potential to greatly benefit tuberculosis drug discovery by finding new drugs for a largely unexplored pathway and by introducing a new approach that can increase the probability of identifying effective drugs and decrease the bottlenecks of the conventional drug discovery approach, saving both time and money. Since tuberculosis has a high social and economic impact, this project aims not only to contribute to scientific and academic knowledge in this field, but also to increase public awareness on tuberculosis drug resistance and the need for new drugs by using several outreach activities. Finally, searching for new effective drugs that can tackle the problem of drug resistance and reduce the costs of drug treatment contributes to the decrease of social impact and economic burden of this disease and is in line with the goals of the World Health Organization “End TB” strategy.
