The Evolution of Professional Translators’ Education in the Context of the Challenges of Contemporary Translation Studies and of Market Needs

In the last years, we have been observing very important changes in translation markets. The constantly developing new technologies but also the new challenges of the labor market force us to redefine the image and role of contemporary translators, from whom ever new competences are required. The translators’ training programs must respond to this reality, providing them with the opportunity to adapt to the changes taking place. In this article, the author presents the evolution of the approach to competences taught in the framework of programs accepted for the EMT network from 2008 till 2019. In this context, she analyzes the academic dimension of professional training, and – more specifically – focuses on the effects of teaching in the context of a master’s seminar, which is a compulsory element of the study program. She shows that educational tasks properly set within this module are closely related to the challenges faced by research universities as defined by the new law concerning higher education and science adopted in Poland on 10.07.2018.

Evaluation of the use of a Healthy Weight Discussion Tool by a health visiting team
Authors: Hickson Tess
Published: June 2019

A quarter of children in the UK are entering primary school either overweight or obese ( NHS Digital, 2017 ). These children have an increased risk of serious health consequences during their childhood years, which often continues into adulthood ( World Health Organization (WHO, 2017 ). A Healthy Weight Discussion Tool was created and introduced into a health visiting service to assist staff to identify and manage children presenting with excess weight. Three teams trialled its use, but uptake of this tool was low. A focus group evaluation was therefore carried out to examine the experience of staff using the tool. Although the tool was effective when implemented as intended, certain factors prevented its use in practice. These findings need to be addressed and the use of the tool re-evaluated to ascertain whether this service improvement will enhance the management of children with excess weight within the Universal service.

ANÁLISIS DE LOS ÍTEMS DE LA PRUEBA CAHE: USO DEL MODELO MULTIDIMENSIONAL DE CRÉDITO PARCIAL GENERALIZADO
Authors: Ordoñez Camacho Xavier G. , Arroyo Resino Delia , Ruiz de Miguel Covadonga
Published: June 2019

INTRODUCCIÓN. Recientemente Ordóñez, Romero y Ruiz de Miguel (2016) han propuesto el Cuestionario de Actitudes Hacia la Estadística (CAHE) el cual tiene evidencia de validez y de fiabilidad. Sin embargo, requiere de un análisis más exhaustivo de los ítems para ampliar la evidencia de validez de los mismos en las distintas dimensiones. MÉTODO. Por ello, en el presente estudio el objetivo es ampliar la evidencia de la calidad psicométrica del CAHE, a través de la aplicación del Modelo Multidimensional de Crédito Parcial Generalizado (MMCPG). Se aplicó el CAHE a una muestra incidental compuesta por 836 estudiantes de la Facultad de Educación, de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. El CAHE está compuesto por tres dimensiones: la escala de emociones negativas, la escala de emociones positivas y la escala de utilidad, con un total de 16 ítems en escala tipo Likert con 5 opciones de respuesta que van desde “completamente en desacuerdo” a “completamente de acuerdo”. Para el análisis de los ítems se ha utilizado el programa R versión 3.4.3. RESULTADOS. Los resultados muestran que el cuestionario se comporta siguiendo una estructura de 3 dimensiones donde cada uno de los ítems en cada una de las dimensiones, presenta adecuados valores en los parámetros de discriminación y dificultad. DISCUSIÓN. Por lo tanto, los resultados permiten ampliar la validez reportada anteriormente, siendo, hasta la fecha, una de las pocas pruebas con evidencia de validez a nivel de constructo y de ítems.
Consumer acceptance of edible insects and design interventions as adoption strategy
Authors: Kauppi Saara-Maria , Pettersen Ida Nilstad , Boks Casper
Published: June 2019

Edible insects are regarded as one of the most sustainable animal protein sources for human consumption, but for western people insects are a rather unusual food ingredient. In the media, however, insect consumption is gaining increasing attention and people are starting to acknowledge insects as a potential source of protein. The eating of insects, ‘entomophagy’, is bringing new insect food companies, ‘ento-preneurs’ to the market, yet current research is still insufficient and relatively fragmented to support the commercialization of insect-based food products. Therefore, more systematic research approaches are needed in this area. This review article introduces the benefits and challenges of insect-eating, discusses the factors that are known to influence consumer acceptance, and categorizes factors including adoption strategies into a framework that can be applied in future consumer studies on entomophagy. In addition, the article introduces three distinctive examples of design interventions to illustrate how design can contribute as a strategy to support the general adoption of insect foods by western consumers.
Do food cinemagraphs evoke stronger appetitive responses than stills?
Authors: Toet Alexander , van Schaik Martin G. , Kaneko Daisuke , van Erp Jan B. F.
Published: June 2019

Viewing images of food triggers the desire to eat and this effect increases when images represent food in a more vivid way. Cinemagraphs are a new medium that is intermediate between photographs and videos: most of the frame is static, while some details are animated in a seamless loop, resulting in a vivid viewing experience. On social media cinemagraphs are increasingly used for food-related communication. Given their vivid appearance we hypothesized that food cinemagraphs may evoke stronger appetitive responses than their static counterparts (stills). This would make them a promising medium for food advertisements on the Internet or on digital menu boards. In this study we measured the ‘wanting’ (appetitive) and ‘liking’ (affective) responses to both cinemagraph and stills representing a wide range of different food products. Our results show that food cinemagraphs slightly increase ‘wanting’ scores while not affecting ‘liking’ scores, compared to similar stills. Although we found no overall main effect of image dynamics on ‘liking’, we did observe a significant effect for some individual food items. The effects of image dynamics on ‘wanting’ and ‘liking’ appear to be product specific: while dynamic images were scored higher on ‘wanting’ or ‘liking’ for some products, static images were scored higher on these factors for other products. Observer responses to a free association task indicate that image dynamics can affect the appeal of a food product in two ways: by emphasizing its hedonic qualities (lusciousness, freshness) and by enhancing the observers’ awareness of their own core affect (‘liking’) for the product. We conclude that the effective use of cinemagraphs in food advertisements therefore requires a careful consideration of the characteristics (hedonic aspects) of the food product that are to be highlighted through image motion and the inherent preferences (core liking) of the target group.

The ‘primal scene’: Memory, redemption and ‘woman’ in the films of Paolo Sorrentino
Authors: Kilbourn Russell
Published: June 2019

This article examines the representation of gender and the marginalization of the female subject in the films of Paolo Sorrentino – especially La grande bellezza (The Great Beauty) (2013) and Youth (2015) – and the TV series The Young Pope (2016), to better understand the significance of ‘woman’ for the cinematic and mnemic constitution of the Sorrentinian subject. I situate Sorrentino’s work in the context of the post-war Italian, European and now transnational art cinemas, and the new era of prestige television. Finally, in a shift from the desiring and objectifying intra-diegetic gaze to what Rosemarie Garland-Thomson in the context of disability studies calls ‘the stare’, I briefly analyse Sorrentino’s fascination with non-normative identities whose on-screen function as locus of a radical alterity serves in the end to throw an even sharper, more ironic light upon the masculine subject at the centre of each story. From film to film to TV series the treatment of gender grows increasingly complex, particularly with respect to the nexus of memory and whatever secular or post-secular redemption awaits the protagonist.
Paolo Sorrentino’s cinematic excess
Authors: Tuan Lydia
Published: June 2019

This article discusses Paolo Sorrentino’s cinematic style through an analysis of four representative films of his filmography: L’uomo in più (One Man Up) (2001), Il divo (2008), La grande bellezza (The Great Beauty) (2013) and The Young Pope (2016). Via analytic attention to the form of the shot, its aesthetic modalities and the effects of such presentation on-screen, I demonstrate how Sorrentino’s formal excess appears temporally and spatially. Temporal excess refers to extended manipulations of cinematic time, such as the use of slow motion, and modifications of diegetic time, such as flashbacks. Spatial excess refers to expansions of space, created by zooming in or out of spaces, and repetitions of spaces. Finally, I propose the subgenre of ‘excessive cinema’ to provide a set of terminologies relating to formal excess that well reflects the stylistic form and aesthetic of Sorrentino’s directorial style.

Authors: Montero Alberto , Rodríguez Sergio , Sánchez Felipe , Yébenes Alberto
Published: June 2019

This article presents the development of a multi-agent system in charge of self-managing a delivery system. The article focuses on the delivery management system and not on the movement systems of the different used vehicles.This system consists of different types of vehicles, each with different characteristics, and there may be several instances of each type of vehicle. There will be three operating agents (Drone Operator, Car Operator and Amphibious Operator), an agent that will be responsible for creating random tasks (used only in simulations) and another one that is responsible for distributing these tasks to the operators taking into account the algorithm. This algorithm follows the bases of backtracking and its main function is to assign a task to a vehicle taking into account the distance, the consumption, the limitations of weight and distances, etc. The whole system has been developed in JADE on java. The described software performs a complete simulation with a console in which it is indicated relevant information such as the tasks that are created, the type of vehicle and the instance of that type of vehicle that resolve the delivery, among others. The purpose of this system is to minimize costs and times.
Improving the adaptability of multi-agent based E-learning systems
Authors: Pinto-Santos Francisco , Sánchez San Blas Hector , Salgado De La Iglesia Manuel , Mao Xuzeng
Published: June 2019

E-Learning is a new learning approach that involves the use of electronic technologies to access education outside of a conventional classroom (Alonso Rincon,). The objective of E-Learning systems is to increase the students’ learning skills by providing a customized experience to each system user (Rodrigues, 2013). However, to accomplish this, it is necessary to monitor the continuous changes in the environment, mainly the students’ knowledge and skill acquisition. A multi-agent system architecture and a clustering algorithm are proposed for this purpose (as presented in (Rodrigues, 2014) This paper is an extension to the work of (Al-Tarabily, 2018) because it not only monitors changes in the student environment but also in the project environment, increasing the system’s adaptability and accuracy.

Published: June 2019

Entender como e onde as atividades antrópicas influenciam a qualidade da água de um aquífero é de extrema importância para o monitoramento e manejo destas, porém as ferramentas utilizadas para esse fim são escassas. O objetivo deste estudo foi criar e espacializar um índice específico de qualidade da água subterrânea para avaliar a qualidade da água de um aquífero. Assim, através de uma padronização dos dados, bem como um dimensionamento de acordo com a sua concentração ou medição para criar os sub-índices e com base na estatística multivariada, estabeleceu-se os pesos de cada uma das variáveis envolvidas neste estudo. As variáveis utilizadas neste estudo são dados secundários fornecidos pelo IGAM, coletados no ano de 2017. Além disso, após a criação deste índice, especializou-se o mesmo para visualizar as zonas que sofrem as maiores influências antrópicas. Além disso, com base no índice espacialmente criado, foi possível identificar que a área na porção mais ao norte do mapa é onde foi encontrada a melhor qualidade da água. Assim, observou-se que o nitrato é a variável mais importante neste estudo. Portanto, foi possível concluir que o índice criado é capaz de auxiliar no monitoramento e gestão dos recursos hídricos

Published: June 2019

Granulocyte-colony-stimulating factors such as filgrastim are currently used for multiple indications, one of which is administration to healthy donors for allogeneic stem cell collection. So far, filgrastim has not been described as a cause of drug-induced liver injury. We report a case of drug-induced liver injury secondary to filgrastim use in a 54-year-old healthy donor. The patient presented with an upsurge of liver enzymes a week from the drug administration with a rapid downtrend over the next few weeks. We wish to highlight the possibility of a similar idiosyncratic adverse drug reaction in other healthy individuals.

Published: June 2019

OBJECTIVES:

Duodenal cancer in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) arises from adenomas. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the duodenal adenoma-carcinoma pathway have been identified in murine FAP models, but similar data in patients with FAP are limited. Identifying such changes may have significance in understanding duodenal polyposis therapies and identifying cancer biomarkers. We performed a genome-wide transcriptional analysis to describe the duodenal adenoma-carcinoma sequence and determine changes distinguishing patients with FAP with and without duodenal cancer.

METHODS:

Transcriptional profiling was performed with the Affymetrix Human Transcriptome Array 2.0 on duodenal biopsies from 12 FAP patients with duodenal cancer (FAP cases) and 12 FAP patients without cancer (FAP controls). DEGs were compared between cancer-normal, adenoma-normal, and cancer-adenoma in FAP cases and between adenomas from FAP cases and FAP controls. Significant results at P < 0.05 were filtered using fold change > 2.

RESULTS:

Two hundred twenty-four DEGs were identified at an absolute fold change > 2. In adenoma-normal, downregulation of DEGs involved in metabolism of brush border proteins (LCT), lipids (APOB/A4), reactive oxygen species (GSTA2), and retinol (RBP2) was observed. In the cancer-adenoma comparison, upregulation of DEGs involved in cell invasion/migration (POSTN, SPP1) and downregulation of DEGs involved in Paneth differentiation (DEFA5/6) were observed. In the adenoma-adenoma comparison, downregulation of several DEGs (CLCA1, ADH1C, ANXA10) in FAP case adenomas was observed. DEGs with therapeutic potential include SPP1, which is involved in both cyclooxygenase and epidermal growth factor receptor pathways targeted by the sulindac/erlotinib combination for duodenal polyposis.

DISCUSSION:

We describe DEGs in the human duodenal adenoma-carcinoma sequence in FAP, which may have prognostic and therapeutic significance. Validation studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Published: June 2019

A inclusão de pessoas com deficiência em postos de trabalho de manufatura industrial ainda é bastante complexa, a se considerar as limitações e restrições, tanto da estrutura física quanto das habilidades pessoais. Assim, pesquisas que busquem a experiência dos envolvidos para entender modos de realizar este processo de inclusão tornam-se relevantes. Este artigo apresenta o desenvolvimento de uma pesquisa que visa identificar a percepção de trabalhadores de produção industrial sem deficiência sobre como estão adequados os postos de trabalho industriais para a inclusão de pessoas com deficiência. Para isso, se apoia numa pesquisa exploratória de abordagem qualitativa com aplicação de entrevistas semiestruturadas. A partir dos dados coletados, verificou-se que os trabalhadores entendem que os postos não estão adequados, assim como existem várias dificuldades de incluir estas pessoas. As conclusões auxiliam no entendimento do ponto de vista dos trabalhadores atuais e na prospecção de novos modelos de inclusão.

A indústria automotiva em transição? análise do posicionamento das subsidiárias nacionais das montadoras frente aos desafios da mobilidade urbana sustentável no Brasil
Authors: Lara Felipe Ferreira de
Published: June 2019

Desafios relacionados à mobilidade geraram uma série de discussões entre todos os setores da sociedade e exerceram uma influência decisiva no declínio da qualidade de vida das pessoas. No centro desta discussão está a crescente dificuldade em acessar os serviços e oportunidades presentes nas cidades devido às barreiras impostas pelos atuais padrões de mobilidade urbana. Com base no entendimento de que o uso do atual modelo de mobilidade urbana é uma questão muito complexa, uma vez que está enraizado na cultura em algumas sociedades, a pesquisa utiliza uma abordagem qualitativa por meio de um estudo de múltiplos casos (AB Volvo; Daimler AG, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, PSA Peugeot Citroën SA, Renault SA, Grupo Volkswagen AG) para avaliar como a indústria automotiva nacional está posicionada a partir de um processo de transição em que a mobilidade urbana tem enfrentado, em que a sustentabilidade também é uma exigência da sociedade. A estrutura fornecida pela abordagem MultiLevel Perspective (MLP) fornece uma teoria que conceitua padrões dinâmicos globais em transições sociotécnicas, combinando conceitos como trajetórias, esquemas e nichos, e teoria institucional, a partir do posicionamento de atores em contextos que são formados a partir de suas próprias ações.
REKONSTRUKSI BUDAYA HUKUM DALAM MENANGGULANGI CAROK DI MASYARAKAT MADURA BERDASAR NILAI-NILAI PANCASILA SEBAGAI SARANA POLITIK KRIMINAL
Authors: Djatmiko W.P.
Published: June 2019

Tulisan ini mencoba mengungkap carok sebagai solusi alternatif untuk menyelesaikan masalah yang terkait dengan penghinaan terhadap kehormatan dan harga diri manusia, istri, agama, dan perselisihan atas tanah dan sumber daya alam di Madura. Meskipun ada banyak upaya untuk mengatasi keadilan main hakim sendiri ini, pada kenyataannya, tindakan ini tetap ada sampai sekarang. Oleh karena itu, gagasan untuk merekonstruksi budaya hukum beberapa orang Madura berdasarkan nilai-nilai Pancasila untuk menyelesaikan carok diharapkan mengubah situasi. Ada tiga (3) masalah penting yang dibahas, yaitu: (1) Mengapa beberapa orang Madura memilih carok sebagai solusi alternatif? (2) Apa persepsi sebagian orang Madura tentang penghinaan terhadap kehormatan dan harga diri manusia, istri, agama, dan perselisihan sumber daya alam sehingga mereka memilih carok sebagai solusi alternatif untuk menyelesaikan masalah? (3) Bagaimana merekonstruksi budaya hukum untuk mengatasi carok di Madura berdasarkan nilai-nilai Pancasila sebagai alat kebijakan kriminal? Untuk menjawab tiga masalah penelitian di atas, peneliti menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif naturalistik dengan pendekatan socio-legal. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa carok adalah norma sosial yang mendapatkan dukungan sosial untuk menyelesaikan konflik bagi sebagian orang Madura. Selain itu, ini juga merupakan perwujudan keadilan, pilihan rasional dan budaya hukum beberapa orang Madura. Konstruksi budaya hukum Madura dicapai dengan (i) Memanfaatkan peran orang tua, kiyai, dan elit lokal untuk mengatasi carok; (ii) Menggunakan budaya musyawarah melalui pengajaran informal tentang hukum dan agama; (iii) Mempengaruhi pandangan orang bahwa keadilan main hakim sendiri sebenarnya adalah budaya hukum yang salah; (iv) Membangun kesadaran hukum dengan mengaktualisasikan Pancasila; dan (v) Berfungsinya Lembaga Musyawarah Adat (LMA) atau sistem peradilan informal  untuk mengatasi masalah a quo.

Authors: Wilberth Neema , Mpimbo Marco , Kumar Santosh
Published: June 2019

In this paper, we present the existence of n-tuple of operators on complex Hilbert space that has a somewhere dense orbit and is not dense. We give the solution to the question stated in [11]: “Is there n-tuple of operators on a complex Hilbert space that has a somewhere dense orbit that is not dense?” We do so by extending the results due to Feldman [11] and Leòn-Saavedra [12] to complex Hilbert space. Further illustrative examples of somewhere dense orbits are given to support the results.
America’s faith in the laugh resistance – popular beliefs about political humor in the 2016 presidential elections
Authors: Kersten Holger
Published: June 2019

Taking its cue from the observation that forms of aggressive humor directed against the political figure Donald Trump are not an ephemeral aspect of contemporary American politics but have been firmly embedded in American cultural discourse for more than two years, this article will explore the ways in which comedians, journalists and other contemporary observers have described and commented on the role and functions of humor and comedy with regard to the Trump phenomenon in the context of the 2016 presidential elections and its aftermath. Drawing on a selection of material from established online news resources the essay will document how popular media outlets have presented the nation’s most prominent late-night comedy as an arena in which the format’s popular hosts deploy humor in an attempt to undermine Trump’s status and ultimately to end his foray onto America’s highest political sphere. The article will then trace the popularity of the idea that political humor is subversive in the tradition of the country’s intellectual history and check it against a selection of empirical studies devoted to the topic. In this context it will become apparent that the belief in the corrective power of humor is deeply ingrained in the American popular imagination and is being perpetuated by contemporary reports and comments in important segments of the media landscape.
A Method Based on A Supercapacitor Energy Storage System to Overcome the Switching Overvoltage in LVDC Systems with Constant Power Loads
Authors: Shabani Arash , Mazlumi Kazem
Published: June 2019

This paper presents a novel method to mitigate the overvoltage transients caused by the circuit breaker operation in the low voltage DC (LVDC) systems. This method is based on using the existing supercapacitor energy storage system (ESS) in the DC grids to limit the switching overvoltage within the standard range. The supercapacitor sizing is performed with considering instability problems of the constant power loads (CPLs) and the boundary between underdamped and overdamped modes. Firstly, a simplified DC system is considered and the analytical expressions are presented to determine the boundary values of the supercapacitor. Effects of the system parameters on the allowable range of the supercapacitor are also discussed. Then, an approach is introduced to determine the boundary values of the supercapacitor for more detailed models of the LVDC systems. This approach applies SimPowerSystems and Control System Toolbox of the MATLAB software. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified using simulation.

Serum Homocysteine and Vitamin B12 as Biomarkers for Haematological Toxicity in Lung Adenocarcinoma Treated With Pemetrexed
Authors: Chang Zhi , Qin Yukun , Chen Haizhu , Li Shuping , Zhao Ke , Wang Huaqing
Published: June 2019

Background Serum homocysteine (Hcy) and vitamin B12 (VitB12) were investigated as serological markers for the prediction of pemetrexed induced haematological toxicity in patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung.

Material and Methods A total of 35 lung adenocarcinoma patients who received pemetrexed chemotherapy as first-line treatment were included in the present study. The patients received pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 once every three weeks until disease progression. Serum Hcy and VitB12 levels were analysed prior to chemotherapy. Haematological toxicities (leucopenia, neutropenia and thrombocytopenia) were graded for each cycle of chemotherapy. Serum Hcy and VitB12 concentrations were compared between grades 0-1 and 2-4 haematological toxicity groups.

Results A total of 151 chemotherapy cycles were administered to 35 lung adenocarcinoma patients. However, the serum Hcy and VitB12 concentration were only examined and recorded in 61 out of the 151 chemotherapy cycles. For the 61 cycles, grade 2-4 leucopenia, neutropenia and thrombocytopenia were observed in 21, 20 and 10 cases, respectively. Serum Hcy levels were 14.91±4.67 μg/ml, 15.50±4.35 μg/ml and 16.04±4.90 μg/ml for grade 2-4 leucopenia, neutropenia and thrombocytopenia, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of grade 0-1 groups (p<0.05). However, serum VitB12 were not statistically different between grade 0-1 and 2-4 haematological toxicity groups (p>0.05). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) were 0.73 (0.58-0.88), 0.80 (0.66-0.94), 0.75 (0.57-0.93) for serum Hcy and 0.65 (0.50-0.79), 0.64 (0.49-0.78), 0.68 (0.49-0.87) for serum VitB12 as predictive biomarkers of grade 2-4 leucopenia, neutropenia and thrombocytopenia, respectively.

Conclusion Pre-chemotherapy serum Hcy appeared to correlate with haematological toxicity and may be a useful biomarker for predicting severity of pemetrexed induced haematological toxicity.
Correlation between serum homocysteine level and ulcerative colitis: A meta-analysis
Authors: Zhong Yifang , Yan Feng , Jie Weixia , Zhou Ying , Fang Fang
Published: June 2019

Background: The aim of the present meta-analysis was to investigate the correlation of serum homocysteine (Hcy) concentration and ulcerative colitis (UC) through pooling all the relevant publications.

Methods The electronic databases of PubMed, EMBase, Web of Science, Google Scholar, CBM, and CNKI were systematic searched with the text words of homocysteine/Hcy, ulcerative colitis/UC, and inflammatory bowel disease. The correlation between serum Hcy and UC were demonstrated by stand mean difference (SMD) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (95% CI). The publication bias was evaluated by Egger’s line regression test and Begg’s funnel plot.

Results After systematic searching the related electronic databases of PubMed, EMBase, Web of Science, Google Scholar, CBM, and CNKI, eighteen publications relevant to serum Hcy and UC were included in the present meta-analysis. The serum Hcy leves were 14.01±2.76 and 10.31±1.59 μmol/L for UC groups and healthy controls respectively with statistical difference (p<0.05). Significant heterogeneity was found (I2=94.5%, p<0.001) among the included studies. Therefore, the SMD was pooled through the random effect model. The pooled SMD was 1.20 (95% CI: 0.89-1.51), indicating that serum Hcy levels were significant higher in UC groups compared to healthy controls with statistical difference (Z=7.52, P<0.001). Egger’s line regression test indicated no publications bias (t=1.45, p=0.17).

Conclusion: Serum Hcy levels were usually elevated in UC patients, which indicates that Hcy may play an important role in UC development and may be used as a serological biomarker for UC diagnosis.
Direct mass measurements and ionization potential measurements of the actinides
Authors: Block Michael
Published: June 2019

The precise determination of atomic and nuclear properties such as masses, differential charge radii, nuclear spins, electromagnetic moments and the ionization potential of the actinides has been extended to the late actinides in recent years. In particular, laser spectroscopy and mass spectrometry have reached the region of heavy actinides that can only be produced only at accelerator facilities. The new results provide deeper insight into the impact of relativistic effects on the atomic structure and the evolution of nuclear shell effects around the deformed neutron shell closure at N = 152. All these experimental activities have also opened the door to extend such measurements to the transactinide elements in the near future. This contribution summarizes recent achievements in Penning trap mass spectrometry and laser spectroscopy of the late actinides and addresses future perspectives.
Subtleties of extrinsic calibration of cameras with non-overlapping fields of view
Authors: Li Zaijuan , Willert Volker
Published: June 2019

The calibration of the relative pose between rigidly connected cameras with non-overlapping fields of view (FOV) is a prerequisite for many applications. In this paper, the subtleties of the experimental realization of such calibration optimization methods like in (Z. Liu, et al., Measurement Science and Technology, 2011, Z. Li, V. Willert, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSC), 2018) are presented. Two strategies that could be adapted to certain optimization processes to find better local minima are evaluated. The first strategy is a careful measurement acquisition of pose pairs for solving the calibration problem, which improves the accuracy of the initial value for the following non-linear refinement. The second strategy is the introduction of a quality measure for the image data used for the calibration, which is based on the projection size of the known planar calibration patterns on the image. We show that introducing an additional weighting to the optimization objective chosen as a function of that quality measure improves calibration accuracy and increases robustness against noise. The above strategies are integrated into different setups and their improvement is demonstrated both in simulation and real-world experiment.
Koordinatenmesstechnik, taktil und optisch – schon immer digital
Authors: Imkamp Dietrich , Tutsch Rainer
Published: June 2019

Wenn heute von der Digitalisierung der Produktion gesprochen wird, löst das in der Koordinatenmesstechnik häufig Verwunderung aus, weil die Koordinatenmesstechnik von Anfang an digitale Verfahren genutzt hat. Ohne die Möglichkeiten der Digitalisierung würde es sie gar nicht geben. Erst die rechnergestützte Auswertung ermöglicht eine effiziente Verknüpfung der gemessenen Koordinatenpunkte zu Merkmalen der Produktgeometrie. Heute werden bei optischen Messsystemen Millionen von Koordinatenpunkten in Sekunden aufgenommen und verarbeitet. Die Anwendung der Computertomographie für die Koordinatenmesstechnik wurde erst durch die heute zur Verfügung stehende Rechnerleistung möglich. Aufgrund der vorhandenen digitalen Systeme wurde die Koordinatenmesstechnik bei der Vernetzung schon frühzeitig eingebunden. Während am Anfang die rechnergestützte Übertragung von Ergebnissen im Vordergrund stand, sind heute Koordinatenmesssysteme teilweise vollständig in digital gesteuerte Produktionsprozesse integriert.
