description: We consider an infinite horizon optimal control problem for a pure jump Markov process $X$, taking values in a complete and separable metric space $I$, with noise-free partial observation. The observation process is defined as $Y_t = h(X_t)$, $t \geq 0$, where $h$ is a given map defined on $I$. The observation is noise-free in the sense that the only source of randomness is the process $X$ itself. The aim is to minimize a discounted cost functional. In the first part of the paper we write down an explicit filtering equation and characterize the filtering process as a Piecewise Deterministic Process. In the second part, after transforming the original control problem with partial observation into one with complete observation (the separated problem) using filtering equations, we prove the equivalence of the original and separated problems through an explicit formula linking their respective value functions. The value function of the separated problem is also characterized as the unique fixed point of a suitably defined contraction mapping.

description: We study the effects of local inhomogeneities, i.e., slow sites of hopping rate $q<1$, in a totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) for particles of size $\ell \geq 1$ (in units of the lattice spacing). We compare the simulation results of $\ell =1$ and $\ell >1$ and notice that the existence of local defects has qualitatively similar effects on the steady state. We focus on the stationary current as well as the density profiles. If there is only a single slow site in the system, we observe a significant dependence of the current on the \emph{location} of the slow site for both $\ell =1$ and $\ell >1$ cases. When two slow sites are introduced, more intriguing phenomena emerge, e.g., dramatic decreases in the current when the two are close together. In addition, we study the asymptotic behavior when $q\to 0$. We also explore the associated density profiles and compare our findings to an earlier study using a simple mean-field theory. We then outline the biological significance of these effects.

description: We verify the existence of radially symmetric first-order solitons in a gauged $CP(2)$ scenario in which the dynamics of the Abelian gauge field is controlled by the Maxwell-Chern-Simons action. We implement the standard Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) formalism, from which we obtain a well-defined lower bound for the corresponding energy (i.e. the Bogomol'nyi bound) and the first-order equations saturating it. We solve these first-order equations numerically by means of the finite-difference scheme, therefore obtaining regular solutions of the effective model, their energy being quantized according the winding number rotulating the final configurations, as expected. We depict the numerical solutions, whilst commenting on the main properties they engender.

description: We report the discovery of a nearby, embedded cluster of young stellar objects, associated filamentary infrared dark cloud, and 4.5 micron shock emission knots from outflows detected in Spitzer/IRAC mid-infrared imaging of the Serpens-Aquila Rift obtained as part of the Spitzer Gould Belt Legacy Survey. We also present radial velocity measurements of the region from molecular line observations obtained with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) that suggest the cluster is co-moving with the Serpens Main embedded cluster 3 degrees to the north. We therefore assign it the same distance, 260 pc. The core of the new cluster, which we call Serpens South, is composed of an unusually large fraction of protostars (77%) at high mean surface density (>430 pc^-2) and short median nearest neighbor spacing (3700 AU). We perform basic cluster structure characterization using nearest neighbor surface density mapping of the YSOs and compare our findings to other known clusters with equivalent analyses available in the literature.

description: The English language has evolved dramatically throughout its lifespan, to the extent that a modern speaker of Old English would be incomprehensible without translation. One concrete indicator of this process is the movement from irregular to regular (-ed) forms for the past tense of verbs. In this study we quantify the extent of verb regularization using two vastly disparate datasets: (1) Six years of published books scanned by Google (2003--2008), and (2) A decade of social media messages posted to Twitter (2008--2017). We find that the extent of verb regularization is greater on Twitter, taken as a whole, than in English Fiction books. Regularization is also greater for tweets geotagged in the United States relative to American English books, but the opposite is true for tweets geotagged in the United Kingdom relative to British English books. We also find interesting regional variations in regularization across counties in the United States. However, once differences in population are accounted for, we do not identify strong correlations with socio-demographic variables such as education or income.

The Design of a Learning Analytics Dashboard: EduOpen Mooc platform redefinition procedures

Publisher: name: Journal of e-Learning and Knowledge Society
Year: 2019

description: The current EduOpen dashboard is not capable of monitoring performances and trends over the medium to long term both for the students as for the instructors; summarising and synthesising the adequate information; allowing implementation of any sort of predictive actions and functions (learning prediction). The article aims to expose the process of innovation and redefinition of a learning analytics dashboard in the EduOpen MOOC platform in order to define a model to design it accurately in terms of productivity for all users (teachers and students above all). From the literature analysis, main MOOC platform comparisons and the insights from the round tables a time spent variable is identified as at the basis of the entire user experience in online training paths. A concrete experimentation, through the design of a learning timeline and a constructive feedback system of an upcoming course in the EduOpen catalog, is designed and explained relaying on the hypothesis of the existence of a correlation between the “time spent” (time value) and the final performance of the student.

description: We present here X-ray spectra of the HMXB SMC X-1 obtained in an observation with the XMM observatory beginning before eclipse and ending near the end of eclipse. With the Reflection Grating Spectrometers (RGS) on board XMM, we observe emission lines from hydrogen-like and helium-like ions of nitrogen, oxygen, neon, magnesium, and silicon. Though the resolution of the RGS is sufficient to resolve the helium-like n=2->1 emission into three line components, only one of these components, the intercombination line, is detected in our data. The lack of flux in the forbidden lines of the helium-like triplets is explained by pumping by ultraviolet photons from the B0 star and, from this, we set an upper limit on the distance of the emitting ions from the star. The lack of observable flux in the resonance lines of the helium-like triplets indicate a lack of enhancement due to resonance line scattering and, from this, we derive a new observational constraint on the distribution of the wind in SMC X-1 in velocity and coordinate space. We find that the solid angle subtended by the volume containing the helium-like ions at the neutron star multiplied by the velocity dispersion of the helium-like ions must be less than 4pi steradians km/s. This constraint will be satisfied if the helium-like ions are located primarily in clumps distributed throughout the wind or in a thin layer along the surface of the B0 star.

description: We report the first detailed characterization of the sheet third-harmonic optical susceptibility, $χ_{s}^{(3)}$, of tungsten diselenide (WSe$_{2}$). With a home-built confocal microscope setup developed to study harmonics generation, we map the second- and third-harmonic intensities as a function of position in the sample, pump power and polarization angle, for single and few layers flakes of WSe$_{2}$. We register a value of $|χ_{s}^{(3)}| \approx$ 0.91 $\times$ 10$^{-28}$ m$^{3}$ V$^{-2}$ at a fundamental excitation frequency of $\hbarω$ = 0.8 eV, which is comparable in magnitude to the third-harmonic susceptibility of other group-VI transition metal dichalcogenides. The simultaneously recorded second-harmonic susceptibility is found to be $|χ_{s}^{(2)}| \approx$ 0.70 $\times$ 10$^{-19}$ m$^{2}$ V$^{-1}$ in very good agreement on the order of magnitude with recent reports for WSe$_{2}$, which asserts the robustness of our values for $|χ_{s}^{(3)}|$.

description: High speed collisions, although current in clusters of galaxies, have long been neglected, as they are believed to cause little damages to galaxies, except when they are repeated, a process called harassment. In fact, they are able to produce faint but extended gaseous tails. Such low-mass, starless, tidal debris may become detached and appear as free floating clouds in the very deep HI surveys that are currently being carried out. We show in this paper that these debris possess the same apparent properties as the so-called "Dark Galaxies", objects originally detected in HI, with no optical counterpart, and presumably dark matter dominated. We present a numerical model of the prototype of such Dark Galaxies - VirgoHI21 -, that is able to reproduce its main characteristics: the one-sided tail linking it to the spiral galaxy NGC 4254, the absence of stars, and above all the reversal of the velocity gradient along the tail originally attributed to rotation motions caused by a massive dark matter halo and which we find to be consistent with simple streaming motions plus projection effects. According to our numerical simulations, this tidal debris was expelled 750 Myr ago during a fly-by at 1100 km/s of NGC 4254 by a massive companion which should now lie at a projected distance of about 400 kpc. A candidate for the intruder is discussed. The existence of galaxies that have never been able to form stars had already been challenged based on theoretical and observational grounds. Tidal collisions, in particular those occurring at high speed, provide a much more simple explanation for the origin of such putative Dark Galaxies.

description: Transcription factors are able to associate to their binding sites on DNA faster than the physical limit posed by diffusion. Such high association rates can be achieved by alternating between three-dimensional diffusion and one-dimensional sliding along the DNA chain, a mechanism dubbed Facilitated Diffusion. By studying a collection of transcription factor binding sites of Escherichia coli from the RegulonDB database and of Bacillus subtilis from DBTBS, we reveal a funnel in the binding energy landscape around the target sequences. We show that such a funnel is linked to the presence of gradients of AT in the base composition in the DNA region around the binding sites. An extensive computational study of the stochastic sliding process along the energetic landscapes obtained from the database shows that the funnel can significantly enhance the probability of transcription factors to find their target sequences when sliding in their proximity. We demonstrate that this enhancement leads to a speed-up of the association process.

Formation, Survival, and Destruction of Vortices in Accretion Disks
Creators: name: Lithwick, Yoram
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Two dimensional hydrodynamical disks are nonlinearly unstable to the formation of vortices. Once formed, these vortices essentially survive forever. What happens in three dimensions? We show with pseudospectral simulations that in 3D a vortex in a short box forms and survives just as in 2D. But a vortex in a tall box is unstable and is destroyed. In our simulation, the unstable vortex decays into a transient turbulent-like state that transports angular momentum outward at a nearly constant rate for hundreds of orbital times. The 3D instability that destroys vortices is a generalization of the 2D instability that forms them. We derive the conditions for these nonlinear instabilities to act by calculating the coupling between linear modes, and thereby derive the criterion for a vortex to survive in 3D as it does in 2D: the azimuthal extent of the vortex must be larger than the scale height of the accretion disk. When this criterion is violated, the vortex is unstable and decays. Because vortices are longer in azimuthal than in radial extent by a factor that is inversely proportional to their excess vorticity, a vortex with given radial extent will only survive in a 3D disk if it is sufficiently weak. This counterintuitive result explains why previous 3D simulations always yielded decaying vortices: their vortices were too strong. We conclude that in protoplanetary disks weak vortices can trap dust and serve as the nurseries of planet formation. Decaying strong vortices might be responsible for the outwards transport of angular momentum that is required to make accretion disks accrete.

description: We show that the perturbation of an N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory by a superpotential linear in the Kahler normal coordinates of the Coulomb branch, discussed in arXiv:0704.3613, is equivalent to the perturbation by Fayet-Iliopoulos terms. It follows that the would-be meta-stable vacuum at the origin of the normal coordinates in fact preserves N=1 supersymmetry unless the superpotential is truncated to a finite-degree polynomial of the adjoint scalar fields. We examine the criteria for supersymmetry breaking under a perturbation by Fayet-Iliopoulos terms and present a general classification of non-supersymmetric critical points. In some explicit examples, we are also able to study local stability of these points and demonstrate that, if the perturbation is chosen appropriately, they indeed correspond to supersymmetry-breaking vacua. Relations of these constructions to flux compactifications and geometric meta-stability are also discussed.

description: We analyze the density of state (DOS) and a non-magnetic impurity effect in electron-doped cuprates starting from two different scenarios: the $d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$-wave superconductivity coexisting with antiferromagnetic spin density wave (SDW) order versus $d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$-wave superconductivity with a higher harmonic. We find that in both cases the local density of state (LDOS) exhibits two impurity-induced resonance states at low energies. We also find that for the intermediate value of the SDW gap, the DOS looks similar to that obtained from the scenario of the $d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$-wave gap with a higher harmonic, suggesting the presence of a non-monotonic $d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$-wave gap. However, if the SDW gap is sufficiently large the DOS looks more conventional s-wave like. This obvious difference from the DOS resulted from the $d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$-wave gap with a higher harmonic model, could differentiate the two above scenarios and is needed to be proved in the further doping dependence of tunneling spectrum measurement.

MICROPLASTIC AND MICROBEAD ABUNDANCE IN FRESHWATER SYSTEMS: A CASE STUDY OF THE ANACOSTIA AND PATUXENT RIVERS
Creators: name: Craig, Jonathan Avery

Subjects: classificationCode: 41
subject: Environmental sciences

description: Microplastics are solid plastic particles less than 5mm in size and are an emerging anthropogenic pollutant of concern because of their ubiquitous presence throughout the environment. Associated additives can leach into the environment from microplastics, potentially affecting the health of surrounding ecosystems. Sediments can serve as a final sink for microplastics, as such microplastics can be resuspended from sediments and transported in aquatic environments. Glass microbeads, another anthropogenic material, are used in road markings, and their presence in sediments could indicate road dust and run-off from roadways contamination in local ecosystems. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAHs, are persistent organic pollutants associated with sediments and produced from burning fossil fuels or other anthropogenic sources. PAHs can enter the environment and pose a health risk to humans and ecosystems. The Anacostia River, located throughout the Washington, DC /Maryland region, has been historically polluted by anthropogenic contaminants such as trash, heavy metals, and sewage. The presence of microplastics, microbeads, and PAHs is not well documented nor considered in determining the health of the Anacostia River. The Patuxent River, located throughout central Maryland, is a tributary to the lower Chesapeake. The Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary, located in the lower Patuxent River, is home to various plant, aquatic life, and animal species. Microplastics and PAHs have not been studied in this area, and little is known about their presence in the Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary and the Patuxent River. In the Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary, Water samples were filtered and subsequently counted for the presence of any microplastics. Sediment samples were collected and analyzed for PAHs. Microplastic concentrations ranged from 4.81 MP/L to 6.60 MP/L in the sanctuary. In all sediment samples collected, no PAHs were detectable. In the Anacostia River Watershed samples analyzed, microplastics and glass microbeads were present in all sediment samples collected. The concentration of microplastics ranged from 0.041MP/g (41.1 MP/Kg) to 0.433 MP/g (433.9 MP/Kg). Glass microbead concentrations ranged from 0.051 MB/g (51.9 MB/Kg) to 5.00 MB/g (5,008.1 MB/Kg). Thermal Deposition and Pyrolysis GC/MS analyses have revealed several different contaminants to be adsorbed to the surface of microplastics and various polymer types across sample sites. PAHs were detected at every sample site except for one. A better understanding of their transportation to marine environments can be achieved by looking at the presence of microplastics in freshwater riverine environments.

description: Software architectures serve as the blueprints for systems, and they are central to the development of software product lines and the design of component-based systems. In existing systems, the architecture often must be reconstructed to reflect the as-built system accurately. This report presents the concept of practice scenarios for architecture reconstruction, which outline common problem/solution pairs that can be used in the strategic application of architecture reconstruction at Department of Defense (DoD) and commercial organizations. Based on an investigation of already developed and presented reconstruction approaches, the report describes deficiencies that have been uncovered in several practice scenarios and proposes improvements.

description: Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have shown a great deal of success in diverse application domains including computer vision, speech recognition, and natural language processing. However, as the size of datasets and the depth of neural network architectures continue to grow, it is imperative to design high-performance and energy-efficient computing hardware for training CNNs. In this paper, we consider the problem of designing specialized CPU-GPU based heterogeneous manycore systems for energy-efficient training of CNNs. It has already been shown that the typical on-chip communication infrastructures employed in conventional CPU-GPU based heterogeneous manycore platforms are unable to handle both CPU and GPU communication requirements efficiently. To address this issue, we first analyze the on-chip traffic patterns that arise from the computational processes associated with training two deep CNN architectures, namely, LeNet and CDBNet, to perform image classification. By leveraging this knowledge, we design a hybrid Network-on-Chip (NoC) architecture, which consists of both wireline and wireless links, to improve the performance of CPU-GPU based heterogeneous manycore platforms running the above-mentioned CNN training workloads. The proposed NoC achieves 1.8x reduction in network latency and improves the network throughput by a factor of 2.2 for training CNNs, when compared to a highly-optimized wireline mesh NoC. For the considered CNN workloads, these network-level improvements translate into 25% savings in full-system energy-delay-product (EDP). This demonstrates that the proposed hybrid NoC for heterogeneous manycore architectures is capable of significantly accelerating training of CNNs while remaining energy-efficient.

In the current paper we introduce the notion of a metabelian Lie $U$-algebra and establish connections between metabelian Lie $U$-algebras and special matrix Lie algebras. We define the $Δ$-localisation of a metabelian Lie $U$-algebra $A$ and the direct module extension of the Fitting's radical of $A$ and show that these algebras lie in the universal closure of $A$.

description: The Kane-Mele model is known to show a quantized spin Hall conductivity at zero temperature. Including Hubbard interactions at each site leads to a quantum phase transition to an XY antiferromagnet at sufficiently high interaction strength. Here, we use the two-particle self-consistent approach (TPSC), which we extend to include spin-orbit coupling, to investigate the Kane-Mele-Hubbard model at finite temperature and half-filling. TPSC is a weak to intermediate coupling approach capable of calculating a frequency- and momentum-dependent self-energy from spin and charge fluctuations. We present results for the spin Hall conductivity and correlation lengths for antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations for different values of temperature, spin-orbit coupling and Hubbard interaction. The vertex corrections, which here are analogues of Maki-Thompson contributions, show a strong momentum dependence and give a large contribution in the vicinity of the phase transition at all temperatures. Their inclusion is necessary to observe the quantization of the spin Hall conductivity for the interacting system in the zero temperature limit. At finite temperature, increasing the Hubbard interaction leads to a decrease of the spin Hall conductivity. This decrease can be explained by band-gap renormalization from scattering of electrons on antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations.

We show that the existence of a Killing spinor on an isolated horizon in four dimensions (when the Chern-Simons term is dropped) and in five dimensions requires that the induced (normal) connection on the horizon has to vanish, and this in turn implies that the surface gravity and rotation one-form are zero. This means that the gravitational component of the horizon angular momentum is zero, while the electromagnetic component (which is attributed to the bulk radiation field) is unconstrained. It follows that an isolated horizon is supersymmetric only if it is extremal and nonrotating. A remarkable property of these horizons is that the Killing spinor only has to exist on the horizon itself. It does not have to exist off the horizon. In addition, we find that the limit when the surface gravity of the horizon goes to zero provides a topological constraint. Specifically, the integral of the scalar curvature of the cross sections of the horizon has to be positive when the dominant energy condition is satisfied and the cosmological constant $Λ$ is zero or positive, and in particular rules out the torus topology for supersymmetric isolated horizons (unless $Λ<0$) if and only if the stress-energy tensor $T_{ab}$ is of the form such that $T_{ab}\ell^{a}n^{b}=0$ for any two null vectors $\ell$ and $n$ with normalization $\ell_{a}n^{a}=-1$ on the horizon.

description: Device independent dimension witnesses (DW) are a remarkable way to test the dimension of a quantum system in a prepare-and-measure scenario imposing minimal assumptions on the internal features of the devices. However, as the dimension increases, the major obstacle in the realization of DW arises due to the requirement of many outcome quantum measurements. In this article, we propose a new variant of a widely studied communication task (random access code) and take its average payoff as the DW. The presented DW applies to arbitrarily large quantum systems employing only binary outcome measurements.

Are immune responses gender-related in Carabus lefebvrei (Coleoptera: Carabidae)?

description: The “live hard, die young” theory predicts the evolution of gender differences in immunocompetence, with males having a weaker immune system than females. To test this hypothesis in Carabus lefebvrei, total and basal phenoloxidase (PO) activities and lysozyme-like enzyme activity were compared among males and females of different reproductive status. The sexual dimorphism occurred only in reproductively active adults and for total and basal PO levels, while no significant differences were recorded between sexes in virgin adults. Differences were not recorded for lytic activity between sexes. Basal PO and lytic activities decreased in both males and females after mating, while the total PO value increased in males and decreased in females. Thus, resources seem to be invested to increase the humoral response in pre-reproductive phase forming a barrier against pathogens and preserving the fecundity and longevity of both sexes. Males preserve their survivorship in reproductive phase by increasing enzymatic levels in hemolymph to avoid fitness reduction due to the increased exposure to pathogen as result of mating. Females shift resources from PO and lytic activity to other physiological systems involved in reproduction in order to maximize their fitness.

Teaching through Contradictions
Creators: name: Carpenter, Sara
name: Haghgou, Shirin
Publisher: name: Critical Education
Year: 2023

description: The following paper describes a pilot project in anti-colonial pedagogy for English Language Learning (ELL). This anti-colonial curriculum and pedagogy was developed by drawing from anti-colonial and Marxist theorizations of migration, settler colonialism, and imperialism as well as insights from critical adult education. This paper explores the conceptualization of anti-colonial pedagogy through attention to dialectical social contradictions and attends to how contradictions were used to frame curricular choices and informed classroom practices. The utilization of dialectical contradictions in anti-colonial pedagogy drew attention to the role played by ideologies of liberalism, in particular, in mediating the student learning experience. The implications of ideological mediation in student learning are considered for critical and radical educators.

description: This paper is the second in a series of three, the aim of which is to construct algebraic geometry over a free metabelian Lie algebra $F$. For the universal closure of free metabelian Lie algebra of finite rank $r \ge 2$ over a finite field $k$ we find a convenient set of axioms in the language of Lie algebras $L$ and the language $L_{F}$ enriched by constants from $F$. We give a description of: * The structure of finitely generated algebras from the universal closure of $F_r$ in both $L$ and $L_{F_r}$ * The structure of irreducible algebraic sets over $F_r $ and respective coordinate algebras. We also prove that the universal theory of a free metabelian Lie algebra over a finite field is decidable in both languages.

Effects of different pesticides on virulence and mortality of some entomopathogenic nematodes

description: Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) have been used against especially soil borne insect pests. EPNs are feasible and attractive for biological control, because of their virulence against various insect pests, host seeking ability, being usable with standard equipment, and long-term efficacy. In addition EPNs can be applied simultaneously with some pesticides. These properties make EPNs ideal biocontrol agent in integrated pest management. In the present study, effects of 4 widely used pesticides (Glyphosate, Chlorpyrifos-ethyl, Captan, Fosetyl-al) on virulence and mortality of three EPN strains (Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Alman, H. bacteriophora HbH and Steinernema carpocapsae DD-136) were examined at 24 and 48 h periods. All strains were able to infect Galleria mellonella larvae averagely above 90 % rate, after 24 and 48 h treatments with all pesticides. However, some of the pesticides showed negative impact on the viability of the strains. Especially, DD-136 and Fosetylal seemed like incompatible, as the mortality rates were significantly higher than control for both 24 and 48 h. The results of the present study showed that it may be possible to use some EPN strains with some pesticides. It is expected that the results of the study will provide useful information for future integrated pest management programs.

description: Testing microservice systems involves a large amount of planning and problem-solving. The difficulty of testing microservice systems increases as the size and structure of such systems become more complex. To help the microservice community and simplify experiments with testing and traffic simulation, we created a test benchmark containing full functional testing coverage for two well-established open-source microservice systems. Through our benchmark design, we aimed to demonstrate ways to overcome certain challenges and find effective strategies when testing microservices. In addition, to demonstrate our benchmark use, we conducted a case study to identify the best approaches to take to validate a full coverage of tests using service-dependency graph discovery and business process discovery using tracing.

Aspects of eco-immunology in molluscs
Creators: name: Matozzo, V
Publisher: name: Invertebrate Survival Journal
Year: 2016

description: There is increasing interest in the international scientific community in eco-immunology, a relatively new discipline combining the knowledge from immunology, biology, ecology, physiology and biochemistry. The integrative approach of different scientific disciplines provides a useful perspective, mostly from an evolutionary point of view, into the understanding of the basic mechanisms of the immune responses, as well as the complex host-parasite interactions. However, while knowledge concerning factors affecting the immune response is increasing, more efforts should be made to determine the physiological mechanisms that regulate these responses. This need is particularly pressing in investigations in invertebrates because they are model organisms widely used to study the basic mechanisms of innate immunity and to assess environmental health (the immunomarker approach in biomonitoring studies). In this context, this review focuses on some of the ecoimmunology aspects of molluscs.

Deformation Capture via Soft and Stretchable Sensor Arrays

description: We propose a hardware and software pipeline to fabricate flexible wearable sensors and use them to capture deformations without line of sight. Our first contribution is a low-cost fabrication pipeline to embed multiple aligned conductive layers with complex geometries into silicone compounds. Overlapping conductive areas from separate layers form local capacitors that measure dense area changes. Contrary to existing fabrication methods, the proposed technique only requires hardware that is readily available in modern fablabs. While area measurements alone are not enough to reconstruct the full 3D deformation of a surface, they become sufficient when paired with a data-driven prior. A novel semi-automatic tracking algorithm, based on an elastic surface geometry deformation, allows to capture ground-truth data with an optical mocap system, even under heavy occlusions or partially unobservable markers. The resulting dataset is used to train a regressor based on deep neural networks, directly mapping the area readings to global positions of surface vertices. We demonstrate the flexibility and accuracy of the proposed hardware and software in a series of controlled experiments, and design a prototype of wearable wrist, elbow and biceps sensors, which do not require line-of-sight and can be worn below regular clothing.
