description: Objective: Studies based on accident statistics generally suggest that the presence of a passenger reduces adult drivers' accident risk. However, passengers have been reported to be a source of distraction in a remarkable portion of distraction-related crashes. Although the effect of passengers on driving performance has been studied extensively, few studies have focused on how a child passenger affects the driver. A child in a car is a potential distractor for parents, especially for mothers of small children, who often suffer from sleep deficit. The aim of this study was to examine how the presence of child passengers of different ages is associated with a higher driver culpability, which was expected due to child-related distraction and fatigue. Methods: The analysis was based on the comprehensive data of fatal crashes studied in-depth by multidisciplinary road accident investigation teams in Finland during 1988–2012. Teams determine the primary party who had the most crucial effect on the origin of the event. We define the primary party as culpable and the others involved as nonculpable drivers. The culpability rate was defined as the percentage of culpable drivers and rates were compared for drivers with a child/teen passenger aged 0–17 years (N = 348), with an adult passenger without children (N = 324), and when driving alone (N = 579), grouped by child age and driver gender. Drivers with specific risk-related behavior (substantial speeding, driving when intoxicated, unbelted, or without a license) were excluded from the analyses, in order to make the drivers with and without children comparable. Only drivers 26–47 years old were included, representing parents with children 0–9 years of age. Results: Male drivers were less often culpable with 0- to 17-year-old passengers in the car than alone or with adults. This was not the case with female drivers. The gender difference in culpability was most marked with small children age 0–4 years. Female drivers' culpability rate with a 0- to 4-year-old child passenger was higher and male drivers' culpability rate was lower compared to drivers without passengers or with only adult passengers. Conclusion: The results indicate that female drivers are at higher risk of crashes than male drivers when driving with small children. Further research is needed to replicate this finding and to determine causal mechanisms.

description: ABSTRACTAim: To synthesize published qualitative studies to identify older adults' preferences for communication about driving with healthcare providers.Background: Healthcare providers play a key role in addressing driving safety and driving retirement with older adults, but conversations about driving can be difficult. Guides exist for family members and providers, but to date less is known about the types of communication and messages older drivers want from their healthcare providers. Design: Qualitative metasynthesis of studies published on or before October 10, 2014, in databases (PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO and Web of Science) and grey literature.Review Methods: 22 published studies representing 518 older adult drivers met the following inclusion criteria: (1) the study was about driving; (2) the study involved older drivers; (3) the study was qualitative (rather than quantitative or mixed methods); and (4) the study contained information on older drivers' perspectives about communication with healthcare providers.Results: We identified five major themes regarding older adults' communication preferences: (1) driving discussions are emotionally charged; (2) context matters; (3) providers are trusted and viewed as authority figures; (4) communication should occur over a period of time rather than suddenly; and (5) older adults desire agency in the decision to stop driving.Conclusion: Various stakeholders involved in older driver safety should consider older drivers' perspectives regarding discussions about driving. Healthcare providers can respect and empower older drivers—and support their family members—through tactful communication about driving safety and mobility transitions during the life course.

description: This study set out to examine seatbelt wearing and child restraint use in the Dammam Municipality of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, based on the premise that an increase in seatbelt wearing would significantly reduce personal injury in traffic crashes. It was expected that local data would help identify intervention strategies necessary to improve seatbelt wearing in the region. The research involved two methodologies. First, 1,389 face-to-face interviews were conducted of male and female adults in regional shopping plazas of their own and their children's restraint use in their vehicles and reasons for these attitudes and beliefs. Second, two on-road observation studies of adult and child restraint use, one overt and one covert, were conducted by trained observers. Occupants of approximately 5,000 passenger vehicles were observed while stopped at representative signalized traffic intersections. Results showed front seat belt wearing rates of between 43% and 47% for drivers' and 26% to 30% for front seat passengers, while rear seat belt wearing rates were worse. Reasons for these rates are discussed and recommendations for improving seat belt wearing in the Dammam Municipality are included.

description: Objective: This article aims to evaluate the safety performance of cable median barriers on freeways in Florida. Method: The safety performance evaluation was based on the percentages of barrier and median crossovers by vehicle type, crash severity, and cable median barrier type (Trinity Cable Safety System [CASS] and Gibraltar system). Twenty-three locations with cable median barriers totaling about 101 miles were identified. Police reports of 6,524 crashes from years 2005–2010 at these locations were reviewed to verify and obtain detailed crash information. A total of 549 crashes were determined to be barrier related (i.e., crashes involving vehicles hitting the cable median barrier) and were reviewed in further detail to identify crossover crashes and the manner in which the vehicles crossed the barriers; that is, by either overriding, underriding, or penetrating the barriers. Results: Overall, 2.6% of vehicles that hit the cable median barrier crossed the median and traversed into the opposite travel lane. Overall, 98.1% of cars and 95.5% of light trucks that hit the barrier were prevented from crossing the median. In other words, 1.9% of cars and 4.5% of light trucks that hit the barrier had crossed the median and encroached on the opposite travel lanes. There is no significant difference in the performance of cable median barrier for cars versus light trucks in terms of crossover crashes. In terms of severity, overrides were more severe compared to underrides and penetrations. The statistics showed that the CASS and Gibraltar systems performed similarly in terms of crossover crashes. However, the Gibraltar system experienced a higher proportion of penetrations compared to the CASS system. The CASS system resulted in a slightly higher percentage of moderate and minor injury crashes compared to the Gibraltar system. Conclusions: Cable median barriers are successful in preventing median crossover crashes; 97.4% of the cable median barrier crashes were prevented from crossing over the median. Of all of the vehicles that hit the barrier, 83.6% were either redirected or contained by the cable barrier system. Barrier crossover crashes were found to be more severe compared to barrier noncrossover crashes. In addition, overrides were found to be more severe compared to underrides and penetrations.

description: In this paper, we consider a subclass of piecewise deterministic Markov processes with a Polish state space that involve a deterministic motion punctuated by random jumps, occurring in a Poisson-like fashion with some state-dependent rate, between which the trajectory is driven by one of the given semiflows. We prove that there is a one-to-one correspondence between stationary distributions of such processes and those of the Markov chains given by their post-jump locations. Using this result, we further establish a criterion guaranteeing the existence and uniqueness of the stationary distribution in a particular case, where the post-jump locations result from the action of a random iterated function system with an arbitrary set of transformations.

description: The present study deals with the non-catalytic and catalytic wet oxidation (CWO) for the removal of persistent organic compounds from the pulping effluent. Two activated carbon-supported heterogeneous catalysts (Cu/Ce/AC and Cu/Mn/AC) were used for CWO after characterization by the following techniques: temperature-programmed reduction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermo-gravimetric analysis. The oxidation reaction was performed in a batch high-pressure reactor (capacity = 0.7 L) at moderate oxidation conditions (temperature = 190°C and oxygen pressure = 0.9 MPa). With Cu/Ce/AC catalyst, the maximum chemical oxygen demand (COD), total organic carbon (TOC) and lignin removals of 79%, 77% and 88% were achieved compared to only 50% removal during the non-catalytic process. The 5-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) to COD ratio (a measure for biodegradability) of the pulping effluent was improved to 0.52 from an initial value of 0.16. The mass balance calculations for solid recovered after CWO reaction showed 8% and 10% deduction in catalyst mass primarily attributed to the loss of carbon and metal leaching. After the CWO process, carbon deposition was also observed on the recovered catalyst which was responsible for around 3–4% TOC reduction.

description: Flipped classrooms have the potential to improve student learning and metacognitive skills as a result of increased time for active learning and group work and student control over pacing, when compared with traditional lecture-based courses. We are currently running a 4-year controlled study to examine the impact of flipping an Introductory Differential Equations course at Harvey Mudd College. In particular, we compare flipped instruction with an interactive lecture with elements of active learning rather than a traditional lecture. The first two years of this study showed no differences in learning, metacognitive, or affective gains between the control and flipped sections. We believe that contextual factors, such as a strong group-work culture at Harvey Mudd College, contribute to the similar performance of both sections. Additionally, to maintain a rigorous experimental design, we maintained identical content across the control and flipped section; relaxing this requirement in a non-study setting would allow us to take further advantage of educational opportunities afforded by flipping, and may therefore improve student learning.

description: Many animals exhibit partial migration, which occurs when populations contain coexisting contingents of migratory and resident individuals. This individual-level variation in migration behaviour may drive differences in growth, age at maturity and survival. Therefore, partial migration is widely considered to play a key role in shaping population demography. Otolith chemistry and microstructural analysis were used to identify the environmental- and individual-specific factors that influence migratory behaviour in the facultatively catadromous barramundi (Lates calcarifer) at two distinct life history stages: firstly, as juveniles migrating upstream into fresh water; and secondly, as adults or sub-adults returning to the estuarine/marine spawning habitat. Monsoonal climate played an important role in determining the migration propensity of juveniles: individuals born in the driest year examined (weak monsoon) were more than twice as likely to undergo migration to freshwater than those born in the wettest (strong monsoon) year. In contrast, the ontogenetic timing of return migrations to the estuary by adults and sub-adults was highly variable and not strongly associated with the environmental parameters examined. We propose that scarce resources within saline natal habitats during lower rainfall years may provide an ecological incentive for juveniles to migrate upstream, whereas more abundant resources in higher rainfall years may promote resident life histories within estuaries. We conclude that inter-annual climatic variation, here evidenced by monsoonal strength, likely plays an important role in driving the persistence of diversified life histories within wild barramundi populations.

description: Static and dynamical magnetic properties of Fe nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in non-magnetic (Ag) and antiferromagnetic (Cr) matrices with a volume filling fraction (VFF) of 10% have been investigated. In both Fe@Ag and Fe@Cr nanocomposites, the Fe NPs have a narrow size distribution, with a mean particle diameter around 2 nm. In both samples, the saturation magnetization reaches that of Fe bulk bcc, suggesting the absence of alloying with the matrices. The coercivity at 5 K is much larger in Fe@Cr than in Fe@Ag as a result of the strong interaction between the Fe NPs and the Cr matrix. Temperature-dependent magnetization and ac-susceptibility measurements point out further evidence of the enhanced interparticle interaction in the Fe@Cr system. While the behaviour of Fe@Ag indicates the presence of weakly interacting magnetic monodomain particles with a wide distribution of blocking temperatures, Fe@Cr behaves like a superspin glass produced by the magnetic interactions between NPs.

description: Based on a literature survey on cytotoxic medicinal plants, Juniper species were identified as interesting source of antitumor compounds. Using bioassay-guided fractionation against Caov-4 cancer cells on acetone extract of leaves and branchlets of Juniperus foetidissima led to the isolation of a new 3H-benzofuaran-2-one: 4-methyl-3-methoxy-3H-benzofuaran-2-one (1), a new sesquiterpene: 4,9(α)-dihydroxy-nardosin-6-en (2) and an already known labdane-type diterpene: 15-hydroxy-8(17),13(E)-labdadiene-19-carboxilic acid (3). Compounds 1–3 exhibited cytotoxic effects, with moderate cytotoxicity against the EJ-138 bladder and CAOV-4 ovary cancer cell lines.

description: Via Andersen-Borot-Orantin's geometric recursion, a twist of the topological recursion was proposed, and a recursion for the Masur-Veech polynomials was uncovered. The purpose of this article is to explore generalizations of Mirzakhani's recursion based on physical two-dimensional gravity models related to the Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity and to provide an introduction to various realizations of topological recursion. For generalized Mirzakhani's recursions involving a Masur-Veech type twist, we derive Virasoro constraints and cut-and-join equations, and also show some computations of generalized volumes for the physical two-dimensional gravity models.
Toward DNN of LUTs: Learning Efficient Image Restoration with Multiple Look-Up Tables

description: The widespread usage of high-definition screens on edge devices stimulates a strong demand for efficient image restoration algorithms. The way of caching deep learning models in a look-up table (LUT) is recently introduced to respond to this demand. However, the size of a single LUT grows exponentially with the increase of its indexing capacity, which restricts its receptive field and thus the performance. To overcome this intrinsic limitation of the single-LUT solution, we propose a universal method to construct multiple LUTs like a neural network, termed MuLUT. Firstly, we devise novel complementary indexing patterns, as well as a general implementation for arbitrary patterns, to construct multiple LUTs in parallel. Secondly, we propose a re-indexing mechanism to enable hierarchical indexing between cascaded LUTs. Finally, we introduce channel indexing to allow cross-channel interaction, enabling LUTs to process color channels jointly. In these principled ways, the total size of MuLUT is linear to its indexing capacity, yielding a practical solution to obtain superior performance with the enlarged receptive field. We examine the advantage of MuLUT on various image restoration tasks, including super-resolution, demosaicing, denoising, and deblocking. MuLUT achieves a significant improvement over the single-LUT solution, e.g., up to 1.1dB PSNR for super-resolution and up to 2.8dB PSNR for grayscale denoising, while preserving its efficiency, which is 100$\times$ less in energy cost compared with lightweight deep neural networks. Our code and trained models are publicly available at https://github.com/ddlee-cn/MuLUT.

Subjects: SMS SaxEx musical expression synthesis saxophone CBR

description: This project sets a link between SMS and SaxEx in order to add expressivity to a non expressive melody applying SMS transformations to the original sound, decided by a Case Based Reasoning system. It deals with monophonic sounds from woodwind instruments like the saxophone, and several things in SMS have been added or improved to adapt the system to this approach like the improvement of the fundamental frequency detection and the region segmentation into musical regions (attack, steady state, release, silence). Also a GUI called ScoreMan has been developed to visualize several files (region info, SaxEx output, parameter scores) and synthesize the expressive sound.
Effect of dispersive optical phonons on the properties of Bond Su-Schrieffer-Heeger polaron

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We use a newly developed quantum Monte Carlo method to investigate the impact of finite dispersion of the optical phonon mode on the properties of the bond Su-Schrieffer-Heeger polaron in two dimensions. We compare the properties of the bond polaron, such as effective mass, ground state energy, and Z factor, with and without positive phonon bandwidth. Our findings reveal that when we exclude phonon dispersion, at the same electron-phonon coupling strength, the effective mass increases as the phonon frequency decreases, indicating a heavier polaron in the deep adiabatic regime. However, in the dispersive case, we observe that the effective mass increases as the phonon bandwidth increases. Moreover, we notice a crossover from a light polaron state to a heavy polaron state in the deep adiabatic regime for both the dispersionless and dispersive cases.

TRICK project

description: The aim of this document is to propose a model for collecting information about IT solutions for traceability.

The growing interest in the traceability functionality led many IT providers to propose solutions for traceability.  Nevertheless, the different background of the providers and the different focus they are pursuing as well as the novelty of some topic for the companies’ management created a difficulty for the company in identifying the most suitable solution for their business.

The objective of such matrix is twofold, proposing:

·         a check list for companies that are looking for traceability IT solutions

·         a tool for traceability IT solution comparison in a market analysis perspective.

This model has been developed by UPC and ENEA in the framework of the TRICK project funded by the European Commission (see www.trick-project.eu)

description: Рассматривается социально-психологическое одиночество как значимая предпосылка суицидального поведения военнослужащих. Раскрываются различные эмоциональные оттенки окраски социальнопсихологического одиночества. Особое внимание уделено анализу проблемы переживаний в психологии и их влиянию на суицидальное поведение военнослужащих. Делается вывод о том, что социально-психологическое одиночество является значимой предпосылкой к суицидальному поведению военнослужащих, а практическое внедрение методов психолого-педагогической диагностики и коррекции данных предпосылок снизит уровень суицидоопасности в Вооруженных силах.

description: In this article, we introduce the notion of differential flatness by pure prolongation: loosely speaking, a system admits this property if, and only if, there exists a pure prolongation of finite order such that the prolonged system is feedback linearizable. We obtain Lie-algebraic necessary and sufficient conditions for a general nonlinear multi-input system to satisfy this property. These conditions are comprised of the involutivity and relative invariance of a pair of filtrations of distributions of vector fields. An algorithm computing the minimal prolongation lengths of the input channels that achieve the system linearization, yielding the associated flat outputs, is deduced. Examples that show the efficiency and computational tractability of the approach are then presented.

description: The Perovskia artemisioides Boiss. essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation method of flowers growing wild in the north of Iran. The study led to the identification of 29 compositions by a combination of HP-5 GC–FID and GC–MS analytical techniques. The constituents were identified in P. artemisioides essential oil with 1,8-cineole (29.9%), camphor (29.5%) and α-pinene (7.8%) as main constituents as well as δ-3-carene (5.1%), camphene (3.3%) and β-pinene (2.7%). The oil was identified by a much larger amount of monoterpenes (87.7%) and sesquiterpenes (6.3%). The results of antimicrobial activity exhibit that the extracted essential oil has presented a high inhibiting activity against five microbial strains up to 18 mm. Also, the MIC and MBC results displayed that Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi were inhibited by P. artemisioides essential oil. Therefore, determination of essential oils in this research showed a relatively similar pattern to those published for the other species of Perovskia.
