A study on the impact of EMI lighting systems on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi communication networks

La tecnologÃ­a Wi-Fi estÃ¡ presente en universidades, restaurantes, pubs, alrededor del mundo, ganando asÃ­ notorio espacio en los sistemas de comunicaciÃ³n especialmente debido a la mejora de las tecnologÃ­as inteligentes. Sin embargo, varios dispositivos pueden interferir con esta red, reduciendo o incluso provocando la pÃ©rdida de datos en las transferencias. La Interferencia ElectromagnÃ©tica (EMI) provocada por los equipos de iluminaciÃ³n es un fenÃ³meno poco conocido y poco analizado en Brasil. El uso masivo de estas tecnologÃ­as necesita ser evaluado remarcando un anÃ¡lisis crÃ­tico de sus lÃ­mites permitidos. Este estudio tiene como objetivo verificar y evaluar las posibles influencias que las tecnologÃ­as de iluminaciÃ³n pueden generar en las redes de comunicaciÃ³n (Wi-Fi) a travÃ©s de la Interferencia ElectromagnÃ©tica (EMI). Para comprobar la influencia de los sistemas de iluminaciÃ³n en las redes Wi-Fi, el siguiente artÃ­culo es el resultado de varias pruebas bajo la influencia de siete tipos diferentes de fuentes de iluminaciÃ³n, entre trece muestras. Las pruebas se realizaron en un entorno blindado, en el LabLux - UFF (LaboratÃ³rio de LuminotÃ©cnica da UFF), utilizando el software Iperf3.
Mobile authoring in a multiple language learning environment

Learning across multiple contexts via social and content interactions, using handheld devices consists of a promising field in modern education. The ever increasing mobile population can assist mobile learning which focuses on the mobility of learners and instructors, interacting with portable technologies. In this paper, the implementation of a mobile authoring tool, which is called m-MALL Author, is presented. M-MALL Author offers the instructors the possibility of creating and editing the learning material of the English, German and French language on the spot and predominately by using mobile phones. Thereafter, the learners are able to use their mobile phones to have access to the theory and tests. Instructors can monitor the performance of their learners by using their mobile phones, and thus they can provide advice tailored to the latter's needs. Both instructors and learners can communicate by using the application installed in their mobile phones. Finally, using mobile tools for authoring learning materials becomes an important part of the educational process.

Social history of riding in late medieval spain and the early modern americas (13th-16th c.)

This project focuses on horse riding as a social practice in late medieval Spain and its expansion into the Americas (13th-16th c.). This specific equine-human relationship was fundamental to almost all aspects of premodern societies. By approaching horse riding as a social practice, the critical evaluation and further development of current social practice theory will be a key component of the project. The envisaged project will help us understand the major transformations experienced by Iberian society in the early modern era as well as the challenges posed by the expansion into the «New World».
By choosing an untraditional focus on the late medieval and early modern period, the project challenges the still predominant caesura of 1492 in historical research. By critically challenging traditional narratives, this study brings the largely unknown riding and horsemanship knowledge of medieval Spain in fruitful discussion with early modern transformations of the social and cultural significance of riding in particular and of social inclusion and exclusion in Spain’s territories in general. 
This pioneering project, however, also contributes to the current methodological discussion of social practice theory and puts the concept of bodily «routines» to the test. By shifting the main research interest from riding culture to the social significance of this specific human-animal interaction and co-movement, recent developments in German and Anglo-American social theory could prove highly fruitful. Social practice theory can be understood as a significant turn away from grand narratives of society and also away from human-only agents. Recent methodological and heuristic developments highlight the analytical potential to detect societies’ social border regimes. Methodologically, this theoretical approach allows the inclusion all kinds of agents that constitute or challenge what is to be understood as the social.

Managed aquifer recharge solutions training network

Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) – storing water in aquifers during times of excess – is a key strategy to enrich groundwater resources in water scarce regions by providing intermediate storage, addressing the typical mismatch between water demand and availability. It can help to mitigate the effects of climate change, and to support water-related environmental services. MAR is, however, characterized by complex interaction of physical, biological and hydrochemical processes influencing water quality and the sustainability of infiltration rates. Individual processes are in principal known, but there is a significant knowledge gap on how they are linked and affect each other. An in-depth understanding of their interplay can lead to MAR systems tailored for best performance in terms of water storage, water polishing goals, infiltration rates, economic viability, and adaptation to climatic change.
MARSoluT addresses this knowledge gap by a collaborative effort in a multi-disciplinary team. Activities are organized around the existing field sites of previous EU FP7 project MARSOL that are already highly characterised and instrumented to allow further in-depth studies and experimental approaches. This will lead to new insights into the complex and coupled processes at MAR sites and will help to optimize MAR design and operation, and thereby minimizing risk of MAR failure. Excellence in research and technological innovation are ensured by involving partners from renown research organizations as well as SMEs and industry partners with a strong background in the water sector.
MARSoluT ESRs will get hands-on experience at various MAR sites while tackling specific MAR-related research topics in an interdisciplinary team. MARSoluT ESRs will become experts on the tailored planning of MAR systems making them attractive for employers from research, industry, and regulatory agencies which are eager to implement MAR into sound and safe Integrated Water Resources Management concepts.
Novel advanced materials solutions for affordable lightweight to meet auto and aero makers’ needs

Applying lightweight solutions is the most efficient approach to make transport greener (Lucintel’18; McK’12). However, SME suppliers of auto and aero parts in NWE encounter severe challenges to define optimal lightweighting: auto struggles to integrate the most advanced materials; aero, to reach acceptable costs and production speeds. Each sector uniquely excels in specific areas: e.g. auto leads automated mass manufacturing and aero, materials performance. To effectively adopt feasible lightweight solutions, more affordable and environmentally-friendly  innovations must be co-developed across the value chain: market-pull from demand side will stimulate a competitiveness increase of supplier SMEs, while contributing to reduce overall CO2 transport emissions.
RIGHTWEIGHT will support 50+ manufacturing SMEs in auto & aero value chains to deliver components meeting car/aircraft makers’ needs. 20+ novel lightweight products will be incubated to TRL7 by 2022, improving environmental performance and greater value-for-money via an open cross-sectorial process combining educational activities and transnational thematic competitions in 5 cross-cutting areas within lightweight: 1) materials supply & development, 2) characterization & modelling, 3) design & smart functions, 4) manufacturing & assembly and 5) recycling. Partners will provide dedicated training in specialised complementary fieldlabs.
5 countries with auto and aero relevance (RIS3) will be involved, leveraging leader-follower synergies: FR (aero), DE and BE (auto), NL (both) and IT (strong in both). 50+ end-users (large demand actors) from 7 regions are already committed (assoc. part.).
RIGHTWEIGHT will pioneer to stimulate cross-sectorial transfer between actors now operating in one value chain with dedicated transnational sessions (also inviting peer projects) and a novel database of success cases. We will anchor €10M turnover & 100 jobs in NWE, while generating €2M turnover & 50 jobs by 

2022.
SPECTRAL NOISE SHAPING IN AUDIO CODING BASED ON SPECTRAL DYNAMICS IN FREQUENCY SUB-BANDS

A technique of spectral noise shaping in an audio coding system is disclosed. Frequency decomposition of an input audio signal is performed to obtain multiple frequency sub-bands that closely follow critical bands of human auditory system decomposition. The tonality of each sub-band is determined. If a sub-band is tonal, time domain linear prediction (TDLP) processing is applied to the sub-band, yielding a residual signal and linear predictive coding (LPC) coefficients of an all-pole model representing the sub-band signal. The residual signal is further processed using a frequency domain linear prediction (FDLP) method. The FDLP parameters and LPC coefficients are transferred to a decoder. At the decoder, an inverse-FDLP process is applied to the encoded residual signal followed by an inverse TDLP process, which shapes the quantization noise according to the power spectral density of the original sub-band signal. Non-tonal sub-band signals bypass the TDLP process.
Accelerating transition in peri-urban areas in east africa

Behind statements and statistics about newly urbanized populations in Africa, behind maps of rapid and unregulated growth and numerous disaster/risk assessments there are real people with compelling tales of coping and adapting capacities to urban challenges brought by the rapid transformation of cities. Their stories often contain more hope, ambition and imagination as portrayed in reports and scientific publications. Their ability to bounce back despite disadvantageous ecological, economic and political settings implies a new form of normality framed outside traditional city development models.
ACTUS is concerned with people's everyday experiences of solid waste and sanitation in peri-urban areas to discern the interdependences between urban infrastructure, pro-poor growth and climate hazards. In ACTUS I place a particular focus on local processes of adaptation and self-organization to cope with increasing flooding impacts in East Africa. The lens of everyday experiences of waste management and sanitation offers an innovative approach to expend our understanding on multiple spheres of livelihoods considering how local processes and technologies may act as a benefit for the poor and may trigger sustainable technical infrastructure
ACTUS is not a 'stand alone research project. It is designed to run complementary to a PhD program on 'Urban Infrastructure in transition: The case of African cities from the Graduate School of urban Studies at TU Darmstadt. The benefit of such close collaboration lies in the breath of knowledge I will gain not only within my specific research project but also through regular exchanges with a multidisciplinary group of scholars focusing on urban infrastructure regimes in Africa.
Photospheric Magnetic Evolution in the WHI Active Regions

Sequences of line-of-sight (LOS) magnetograms recorded by the Michelson-Doppler Imager are used to quantitatively characterize photospheric magnetic structure and evolution in three active regions that rotated across the Sun's disk during the Whole Heliosphere Interval (WHI), in an attempt to relate the photospheric magnetic properties of these active regions to flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Several approaches are used in our analysis, on scales ranging from whole active regions, to magnetic features, to supergranular scales, and, finally, to individual pixels. We calculated several parameterizations of magnetic structure and evolution that have previously been associated with flare and CME activity, including total unsigned magnetic flux, magnetic flux near polarity inversion lines, amount of cancelled flux, the "proxy Poynting flux," and helicity flux. To catalog flare events, we used flare lists derived from both GOES and RHESSI observations. By most such measures, AR 10988 should have been the most flare- and CME-productive active region, and AR 10989 the least. Observations, however, were not consistent with this expectation: ARs 10988 and 10989 produced similar numbers of flares, and AR 10989 also produced a few CMEs. These results highlight present limitations of statistics-based flare and CME forecasting tools that rely upon line-of-sight photospheric magnetic data alone.
An interface between an hp-adaptive finite element package and the pre- and post-processor GiD

An interface between GiD, the interactive graphical user interface used for numerical simulations, developed at the International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE) of the Universidad Politecnica de Cataluna and the Geometrical Modeling Package (GMP) of the fully automatic hp-adaptive finite element (FE) software, developed at the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences (ICES) of the University of Texas at Austin, is presented. GiD is used to construct a tessellation of the problem domain into FE-like regions (blocks in GMP terminology), and the interface obtains and transfers all the topological and geometrical information to GMP. Then, GMP automatically constructs a parameterization for each FE-like region of the GMP mesh, which later can be used to generate the actual FE-mesh and support geometry updates during mesh refinements.
Application of 64-type Seismometer Simulations on Digital Seismic Observation in Lanzhou Station

Based on the principle and method of seismometer simulation,we made the EDSP-IAS analysis software as a platform in daily work and processed the calibration data of analog recording for many years.Using the known transfer function of 64-type seismometer,we obtained the zero-pole value by means of analyzing calculation.We made the 64-type seismometer as a target simulation instrument added to the EDSP-IAS analysis software,and the improved software had been verified in the large earthquake rapid alerting and analysis work in Lanzhou Station.The results showed that we simulated the weak earthquake in medium-long distance,smaller ultra-distant earthquake and the earthquake occurred in the shade area in Lanzhou Station by 64-type seismometer,we can easily discriminate the arrival time of initial P-wave,first motion direction,and the phase discrimination has greatly improved by 64-type seismometer.
CENTRAL DETERMINATION GAMING SYSTEM WITH A GAME OUTCOME GENERATED BY A GAMING TERMINAL AND APPROVED BY A CENTRAL CONTROLLER

A central determination gaming system including a plurality of gaming terminals (10a, 10b, 10c) in communication with a central controller (14). In one embodiment, upon initiation of a game at one of the gaming terminals (10a, 10b, 10c), the gaming terminal randomly generates a proposed game outcome. The proposed game outcome is communicated to the central controller (14). The central controller (14) determines if a pool of predetermined game outcomes includes the proposed game outcome. If the pool includes the proposed game outcome, the central controller (14) authorizes the proposed game outcome to be provided to the player, flags the authorized game outcome from further authorizations and communicates the authorized game outcome to the gaming terminal. The gaming terminal then provides the authorized game outcome to the player. If the pool does not include the proposed game outcome, the central controller (14) discards the proposed game outcome and instructs the gaming terminal to generate another proposed game outcome for authorization.

METHOD FOR MEASURING AND/OR MACHINING A WORKPIECE

A method for measuring and/or machining a workpiece (1, 2), in particular modules for use in building by means of a measuring or machining device (30) is disclosed, whereby the workpiece (1, 2) is mapped in a first co-ordinate system (21) by means of at least one recording device (10) and the measuring or machining device (30), which may be displaced relative to the workpiece (1, 2) is determined in a second co-ordinate system (22), independently of the position and form of the workpiece (1, 2). The co-ordinates of the workpiece (1, 2) and the co-ordinates of the measuring or machining device (30) are referenced to each other by means of a computer (40) in order to control the measuring or machining device (30) for the measurement or machining of the workpiece (1, 2).
EORTC radiation proctitis-specific quality of life module – Pretesting in four European countries

Radiation proctitis is a side effect which can occur after pelvic radiation therapy. Currently available questionnaires do not comprehensively assess the range of problems, nor impact on quality of life associated with proctitis. This article reports on the cultural testing phase of an EORTC module (QLQ-PRT21) developed to assess radiation proctitis specific issues and designed to be used in conjunction with the EORTC core quality of life questionnaire (QLQ-C30).The previously developed 21-item module, pre-tested in Australia, was translated into Norwegian, German, French and Italian. Patients completed the EORTC QLQ-C30 and module questionnaires towards the end of their radical pelvic radiation treatment to target acute side effects. Patients experiencing chronic proctitis were also surveyed. Patients also participated in structured interviews to determine issues of comprehensibility, coverage and relevance. Results were compared with Australian data.Questionnaires were completed by 64 European patients. The module was found to be relevant and culturally acceptable to participants. Feedback has led to minor translation modifications and the inclusion of two additional questions.This module is ready for Phase IV testing which will consist of large scale field testing with the aim to perform psychometric analysis and finalize a module that will be suitable in the assessment of radiation induced proctitis.
Procesamiento de formas no binarias en español rioplatense: relación entre el uso voluntario y la comprensión

Diversos estudios gramaticales se han abocado al estudio de las innovaciones morfológicas utilizadas como formas no binarias en español (-x; -e). Sin embargo, no existen trabajos experimentales que analicen su procesamiento psicolingüístico ni las múltiples y complejas relaciones entre producción y comprensión en lo que respecta al lenguaje no binario. Para analizar este fenómeno, realizamos una tarea de lectura y comprensión de oraciones con hablantes de español de Argentina. Registramos tiempos de lectura y de respuesta, precisión y frecuencia de uso de las formas no binarias en les participantes. Los resultados muestran una especialización de las formas no binarias como variantes morfológicas genéricas, en contraposición al masculino genérico. Las formas no binarias provocaron consistentemente una referencia hacia grupos mixtos y los tiempos de respuesta mostraron que estas variantes morfológicas no conllevan un costo de procesamiento mayor que el masculino genérico. En este trabajo , nos concentramos también en el análisis de un factor definido como “uso habitual consciente” de formas no binarias y su efecto sobre los procesos de comprensión. Es posible ver que el uso consciente de formas no binarias influye en los procesos de comprensión de las distintas variantes de morfología de género: a medida que crece el uso voluntario de formas no binarias, el masculino genérico parece concentrar su referencia hacia grupos de varones exclusivamente. Es así que, además de mostrar evidencia general en relación con los costos de procesamiento y modos de comprensión de la morfología de género en español, nuestros datos permiten observar una potencial vinculación recíproca entre procesos de producción y comprensión que merece ser estudiada con mayor profundidad.
Commercialisation of proteus

Commercialisation of Proteus. We will develop a case for commercialisation our unique, tribrid (quadrupole mass-filter/collision cell/ multi- collector) inductively coupled mass-spectrometer, dubbed Proteus, built in collaboration with industrial partners Thermo Fisher Scientific. We will explore full workflow applications to open up a business case for turning the prototype into a commercial model. We have already demonstrated its unique capabilities in traditional fields for such instrumentation (Earth, Space and Nuclear sciences), but the rationale for building a commercial instrument is best made by showing its utility in developing a new market in screening large numbers of samples for medical research and possible detection of diseases. Here we will assess the potential of Proteus for accurate, high throughput measurements of Ca isotopes in bodily fluids to detect changes in bone mineral balance, indicative of diseases such as osteoporosis and kidney malfunction. We will work together with a spin-off company, osteolabs GmbH, who lead work in this new market, to produce a compelling case to be presented to Thermo Scientific Vertical marketing, the critical step to commercialisation.
