Smart Home Medical Technologies: Users’ Requirements for Conditional Acceptance
Authors: Himmel Simon , Ziefle Martina 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
One mega challenge for the next decades is the aging of populations in western societies. Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) Technologies provide solutions for these challenges of demographic change. Elderly people living independently in their homes can be monitored for health reasons with integrated information and communication technologies (ICT) to get help in case of emergencies. From the user-centered approach, acceptance of these solutions is crucial. In his work, we focus on the effects of 5 domestic spaces and 3 integrated ICT on acceptance and the influence of user factors. We consider two samples from 2010 (n = 100) and 2015 (n = 148). Results show that visual monitoring is accepted least, positioning best. The role of private and public rooms has a strong influence on acceptance. Also, the type of technology as well as the interaction of technology and room have a strong impact, whereas user factors play only a minor role for AAL acceptance.

Authors: Кривенцова І. В. , Пашкевич C. А. , Чистяков С. А. 
Published: April 2016

Study objective: to reveal the relations between the indicators of physical and mental performance and the development of technical and tactical skills in fencers, to determine the significant criteria and tests for selecting students for health-improving and sports fencing groups.
Methods: study and analysis of literature; pedagogical observations; physiological methods (physical performance by the Harvard step test with HSTI (Harvard step test Index) calculation, mental performance by the correction tables, special exercises to assess fencers’ technical and tactical skills); statistical methods. The reference group students (9 female fencers) had five workouts a week, the students (13 female students) of test group 1 (TG1) had 2 hours of physical training per week, the TG2 and TG3 (8 and 10 female students respectively) had 4 hours of fencing workouts per week. The TG2 had 4 months of fencing experience, and TG3 had one year and 4 months thereof.
Results. The reciprocal effects of the performance indicators and the correlation between
the indicators of technical and tactical skills of the student fencers allowed to establish the informative value of individual indicators for quality selection of students for the fencing group. The Harvard step test index and the standardized number of errors of the correction test can serve as the prognostic criteria for developing technical and tactical skills in student fencing.
ELEMENTS OF GLOACALIZATION IN LATGALIAN MUSIC
Authors: Gusāns Ingars 
Published: April 2016

<p><em>Latgalian music has a distinct place within the Latvian music market, which has itself inhabited a niche within the global music marketplace; the various processes of globalization have influenced Latgalian music groups and their members to varying degrees. This article aims to assess which musical styles are most popular amongst Latgalian groups and whether there are parallels with tendencies in the global music world in order to identify which global and local features are typical of Latgalian groups, and describe characteristic Latgalian album design in comparison with that of world-famous groups.</em></p><p><em>The article discusses the following groups: “Borowa MC”, “Bez PVN”, “Dabasu Durovys”, “Laimas Muzykanti”, “Green Novice”, “Sacramental” and Sovvaļnīks. Due to limitations in length, this research does not focus upon text analysis.</em></p><p><em>Research was carried out using the following resources: conversations with group members, internet resources, album reviews, press materials, and the author’s own observations as a member of a Latgalian music group.</em></p><p><em>The research is conducted from a comparative perspective, with the goal of highlighting global and local features that characterize Latgalian groups.</em></p><p><em>According to music critic Sandris Vanzovičs, almost all global music styles are represented in the music of Latgale, each inhabiting their particular niche (Gusāns 2015, 1). Evaluating the musical styles and album packaging of select Latgalian groups, it is possible to conclude that Latgalian groups, in ways that are not connected to dance music, reflect the main global tendencies in music, confirming the global location of the Latgale region. The influence of globalization is noticeable in the English-language names of some groups, e. g. “Green Novice”, “Sacramental”. However, local elements in the music are also present: 1) the use of the Latgalian language, 2) folk song melodies and lyrics used with contemporary interpretations, revealing culturohistorical information, and 3) the desire to design original album covers, trying as much as possible to avoid typical clichés or frequently-used motifs, and highlighting the local area. However, Latgalians still need to overcome the lack of interest or support outside the region for Latgalian music.</em></p>

Universal time effect in the response of the thermosphere to electric field changes
Authors: Perlongo N. J. , Ridley A. J. 
Published: April 2016

AbstractUnderstanding the dynamics of the thermospheric mass density is of paramount importance for predicting drag on low‐altitude satellites, particularly during geomagnetic storms. Transient enhancements in ion velocities, which frequently occur as a result of storm‐driven solar wind electric field fluctuations, cause increases in neutral density and temperature. Since the Earth's quasi‐dipolar magnetic field is tilted and offset from the center of the planet, it is hypothesized that hemispheric asymmetries arise, altering the thermospheric response to energy input based upon the time of day. This study used the Global Ionosphere‐Thermosphere Model (GITM) to investigate this phenomenon via a series of 22 idealized simulations, where the convective electric field was enhanced for 1 h of the day. Two configurations of the Earth's magnetic field were considered, the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) and a centered dipole. These runs were conducted at March equinox when the amount of sunlight falling on the two hemispheres was the same. Two additional sets of runs were conducted at the June and December solstices for comparison. It was found that the most geoeffective times were those times when the geomagnetic poles were pointed toward the Sun. This orientation maximizes the photoionization colocated with the high‐latitude potential pattern, leading to more in Joule heating.

Published: April 2016

AbstractA flux dropout is a sudden and sizable decrease in the energetic electron population of the outer radiation belt on the time scale of a few hours. We simulated a flux dropout of highly relativistic >2.5 MeV electrons using the Radiation Belt Environment model, incorporating the pitch angle diffusion coefficients caused by electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves for the geomagnetic storm event of 23–26 October 2002. This simulation showed a remarkable decrease in the >2.5 MeV electron flux during main phase of the storm, compared to those without EMIC waves. This decrease was independent of magnetopause shadowing or drift loss to the magnetopause. We suggest that the flux decrease was likely to be primarily due to pitch angle scattering to the loss cone by EMIC waves. Furthermore, the >2.5 MeV electron flux calculated with EMIC waves correspond very well with that observed from Solar Anomalous and Magnetospheric Particle EXplorer spacecraft. EMIC wave scattering is therefore likely one of the key mechanisms to understand flux dropouts. We modeled EMIC wave intensities by the Kp index. However, the calculated dropout is a several hours earlier than the observed one. We propose that Kp is not the best parameter to predict EMIC waves.

AbstractMeasurements of the lower thermospheric wind with a Fabry‐Perot interferometer (FPI) at Tromsø, Norway, found the largest wind variations in a night during the appearance of auroral patches at the substorm recovery phase. Taking into account magnetospheric substorm evolution of plasma energy accumulation and release, the largest wind amplitude at the recovery phase is a fascinating result. The results are the first detailed investigation of the magnetosphere‐ionosphere‐thermosphere coupled system at the substorm recovery phase using comprehensive data sets of solar wind, geomagnetic field, auroral pattern, and FPI‐derived wind. This study used three events in November 2010 and January 2012, particularly focusing on the wind signatures associated with the auroral morphology, and found three specific features: (1) wind fluctuations that were isolated at the edge and/or in the darker area of an auroral patch with the largest vertical amplitude up to about 20 m/s and with the longest oscillation period about 10 min, (2) when the convection electric field was smaller than 15 mV/m, and (3) wind fluctuations that were accompanied by pulsating aurora. This approach suggests that the energy dissipation to produce the wind fluctuations is localized in the auroral pattern. Effects of the altitudinal variation in the volume emission rate were investigated to evaluate the instrumental artifact due to vertical wind shear. The small electric field values suggest weak contributions of the Joule heating and Lorentz force processes in wind fluctuations. Other unknown mechanisms may play a principal role at the recovery phase.
Heat flux and topography constraints on thermochemical structure below North China Craton regions and implications for evolution of cratonic lithosphere
Authors: Wang Yongming , Huang Jinshui , Zhong Shijie , Chen Jiaming 
Published: April 2016

AbstractThe eastern North China Craton (NCC) has undergone extensive reactivation during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic, while the western NCC has remained stable throughout its geological history. Geophysical and geochemical observations, including heat flux, surface topography, crustal and lithospheric thicknesses, and volcanism, show significant contrast between the eastern and western NCC. These observations provide constraints on thermochemical structure and reactivation process of the eastern NCC, thus helping understand the dynamic evolution of cratonic lithosphere. In this study, we determined the residual topography for the NCC region by removing crustal contribution to the topography. We found that the residual topography of the eastern NCC region is generally 0.3–0.9 km higher than the western NCC. We computed a large number of two‐dimension thermochemical convection models for gravitational instability of cratonic lithosphere and quantified surface heat flux and topography contrasts between stable and destabilized parts of cratonic lithosphere. These models consider different chemical buoyancy (i.e., buoyancy number B) and viscosity for the cratonic lithosphere. Our models suggest that to explain the difference in heat flux (25–30 mW/m2) and residual topography (0.3–0.9 km) between the eastern and western NCC regions, the buoyancy number B is required to be ~0.3–0.4. This range of B implies that as much as 50% of the original cratonic lithospheric material remains in the present‐day eastern NCC lithosphere and its underlying shallow mantle and that the new lithosphere in the eastern NCC may be a mixture of the relics of old craton materials and the normal mantle.
Enhanced characterization of fracture compliance heterogeneity using multiple reflections and data‐driven Green's function retrieval
Authors: Minato Shohei , Ghose Ranajit 
Published: April 2016

AbstractThe spatial heterogeneity along a fracture is a key determinant for fracture‐associated mechanical and hydraulic properties of the subsurface. Laboratory experiments have been performed to test the applicability of the nonwelded interface representation to predict the frequency‐ and angle‐dependent elastic response of a single fracture. The observation that nonwelded interface model can represent quite well the frequency‐ and angle‐dependent reflection response of a fracture has led us to develop a new methodology for estimating the spatially heterogeneous fracture compliance from the reflection response along a fracture surface. A data‐driven approach based on Marchenko equation coupled with inverse scattering to solve the nonwelded interface boundary condition has been formulated. The approach estimates the elastic wavefield along a fracture accurately, including the multiple reflections. As an extension, it offers the possibility to estimate fracture compliance using the multiple reflections. We illustrate the concept by numerically modeling 2‐D SH waves sensing the heterogeneous tangential compliance of a fracture. The stationary phase method is applied to single and double spatial integrals to analyze the effect of source and receiver aperture on the Green's function retrieval. Our results show that the use of multiple reflections allows a better estimation of the heterogeneous fracture compliance than using primary reflections alone, especially for the far offsets on the fracture plane.
Heterogeneous stress state of island arc crust in northeastern Japan affected by hot mantle fingers

Published: April 2016

AbstractBy considering a thermal structure based on dense geothermal observations, we model the stress state of the crust beneath the northeastern Japan island arc under a compressional tectonic regime using a finite element method with viscoelasticity and elastoplasticity. We consider a three‐layer structure (upper crust, lower crust, and uppermost mantle) to define flow properties. Numerical results show that the brittle‐viscous transition becomes shallower beneath the Ou Backbone Range compared with areas near the margins of the Pacific Ocean and the Japan Sea. Moreover, several elongate regions with a shallow brittle‐viscous transition are oriented transverse to the arc, and these regions correspond to hot fingers (i.e., high‐temperature regions in the mantle wedge). The stress level is low in these regions due to viscous deformation. Areas of seismicity roughly correspond to zones of stress accumulation where many intraplate earthquakes occur. Our model produces regions with high uplift rates that largely coincide with regions of high elevation (e.g., the Ou Backbone Range). The stress state, fault development, and uplift around the Ou Backbone Range can all be explained by our model. The results also suggest the existence of low‐viscosity regions corresponding to hot fingers in the island arc crust. These low‐viscosity regions have possibly affected viscous relaxation processes following the 2011 Tohoku‐oki earthquake.
Characterizing storm water dispersion and dilution from small coastal streams

Published: April 2016

AbstractCharacterizing the dispersion and dilution of storm water from small coastal creeks is important for understanding the importance of land‐derived subsidies to nearby ecosystems and the management of anthropogenic pollutants. In Southern California, creek runoff is episodic, intense, and short‐lived while the plumes are buoyant, all of which make the field sampling of freshwater plumes challenging. Numerical modeling offers a viable way to characterize these systems. The dilution and dispersion of freshwater from two creeks that discharge into the Santa Barbara Channel, California is investigated using Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) simulations with a horizontal resolution of 100 m. Tight coupling is found among precipitation, hydrologic discharge, wind forcing, and submesoscale flow structures which all contribute to plume evolution. During flooding, plumes are narrow and attached to the coast, due to downwelling/onshore wind forcing and intense vorticity filaments lying parallel to the shelf. As the storm passes, the winds typically shift to offshore/upwelling favorable conditions and the plume is advected offshore which enhances its dilution. Plumes reach the bottom nearshore while they form thin layers a few meters thick offshore. Dilution field of passive tracers released with the runoff is strongly anisotropic with stronger cross‐shelf gradients than along‐shelf. Dispersion analysis of statistical moments of the passive tracer distribution results in scale‐dependent diffusivities consistent with the particle‐pair analysis of Romero et al. (). Model validation, the roles of submesoscale processes, and wind forcing on plume evolution and application to ecological issues and marine resource management are discussed.

AbstractIn this study, we investigated the interannual and intraannual variabilities in the oxygen isotope composition (δ18O) preserved in the tree ring cellulose of Pinus taiwanensis in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, southeast China, to explore its potential utility for precipitation reconstruction over the period of 1855–2013. Intraannual variations of tree ring cellulose δ18O show distinct annual cycles that are characterized by δ18O maxima in the early growth near the ring boundary and δ18O minima in the middle and late portions of the ring. Seasonal patterns of tree ring δ18O were influenced by August–October typhoons. The tree ring cellulose δ18O was measured in both young and old trees to test for the juvenile effect. The results revealed no significant differences in the mean values and long‐term trends in δ18O in the old and young trees. A response analysis indicated that tree ring δ18O correlated significantly with precipitation and relative humidity between May and October, and the δ18O chronology accounted for 37.4% of the actual variation in the May–October precipitation between 1951 and 2013. The extremely dry and wet years revealed by the tree ring δ18O‐based reconstructed precipitation also corresponded to actual local drought and flood events from the documentary records. Reconstructed precipitation showed significant relationship with central tropical Pacific sea surface temperature, which indicated that El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) exerted influences on May–October precipitation in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. In addition, the relationship between ENSO and precipitation weakened between 1920 and 1940, and low variance of ENSO from 1920 to 1940 may result in the damped ENSO's influences on precipitation in southeast China.
