description: In this paper, we report a method for changing the appearance of an object to different colors as a function of viewing perspective with multiple projectors and cameras. If such appearance manipulation becomes possible, morpho butterfly colors, metallic reflection, and other structural colors can be expressed. For such appearance editing, we proposed a reflection model which describes the optical response of projectors and cameras. We also propose methods for calculating the reflectance matrix and the optimized projection images using non-negative minimization. Through experimental results, we confirmed our method allowed perspective-dependent appearance to be designed by choosing the appropriate reflectance from the non-Lambert reflection area.

description: This paper describes a novel tactile sensing probe based on haptic primary colors (HPCs) and a tactile classifying system. We developed a finger-type soft tactile probe incorporating a sensor to measure three physical quantities: force, vibration, and temperature. We also constructed a tactile probe sliding system on the surface of the material repeatedly. The tactile fluctuation obtained from the tactile probe was recorded, and a frequency analyzed image was generated. In the evaluation experiments, the tactile images were generated by sliding the tactile probe on seven materials (ray fish skin, aluminum plate, rusting hemp fabric, MDF board, tatami mat fabric, acrylic board and rubber sheet). A convolutional neural network (CNN) was constructed and its classification performance was evaluated. In addition, we used tactile images to clarify the classification performance through TLAlexnet (transfer learned Alexnet). Pre-trained TLAlexnet was generated by domain adaptation using the tactile images. The results of TLAlexnet showed the great performance to be 85.0%, 91.7%, and 85.7% with respect to single primary colors of force, vibration, and temperature, respectively, and it improved to 96.4% when using three HPCs. In addition, the classification performance of the proposed seven-layered another CNN that was trained with the obtained tactile images was 98.2% of the CNN constructed using common filtering parameters. Thus, highly accurate classification was realized by using three HPCs elements.

description: Science-fiction has frequently depicted people directly interacting with life-size autostereoscopic images projected from the walls of buildings in public places. In this paper, we present a large modularized autostereoscopic display. The shape and size can be easily changed by rearranging the number of the multiple display modules. We propose a reconfigurable temporal division multiplexed autostereoscopic display module that can display aerial images. More-over, we show that the temporal division multiplexing method allows the autostereoscopic display to be viewed from a broad range of positions. In this paper, we discuss the design and implementation of this modularized 3D display technology. Furthermore, user evaluations confirmed that the depth perception of the image was improved by con-necting the multiple display modules.

description: This paper proposes a system capable of presenting softness using a touch panel. Many studies of touch panel-based haptic displays have developed methods for manipulating macro-roughness (shape), fine-roughness (texture), and friction. On the contrary, few studies have examined the sensation of softness. One reason for this is that to represent the spring constant of the object material, it becomes necessary to present a reaction force in the vertical direction, and this requires a large-scale device to move the surface up and down, or a device attached to the finger, both of which degrade the touch panel experience. To tackle this issue, we propose and have developed a system that can express softness not only visually but also haptically using a motor-driven film covering the touch panel to present a tangential force to the finger and with a simple visual shadow effect. In addition, we used the system to evaluate the subjective softness and confirmed the visual and haptic modulation with a realistic 3D image and a 2D image.

description: The existing evidence base in relation to the feasibility of using Virtual Reality technology systems with individuals living with a dementia appeared limited and was therefore explored. The research was collected and reviewed in terms of the different types of Virtual Reality systems (equipment and levels of immersion) and feasibility of the technology within different stages of demen-tia as well as the methodological limitations. A systematic search of the literature was conducted using the healthcare databases advanced search (Medline, PsychINFO, and EMBASE) and snowballing methods. The participants had a dementia diagnosis and the feasibility of Virtual Reality in terms of its acceptability and practicality was discussed. Only five articles met the eligibility criteria. Four included semi-immersive Virtual Reality with participants in the early stages of dementia. One included fully-immersive Virtual Reality where dementia stage ranged from 'mild' to 'severe'. Based on available demographic information, study participants resided in residential care homes, alone in the community or with their spouse. The existing literature sug-gests that both semi and fully-immersive Virtual Reality technology use can be feasible amongst individuals living within the ear-lier stages of dementia outside of a hospital environment, with it being viewed as a welcomed distraction that increased alert-ness and pleasure. However, Virtual Reality was also found to increase fear and anxiety in one study, raising important ethical implications around the safety of the user. The current evidence-base leaves a predominant gap in Virtual Reality technology system use for people within the moderate to later stages of dementia and those living in a hospital environment.

description: While augmented reality (AR) can be valuable in therapy with people with dementia (PwD), when designing an AR system for PwD, it is important to understand how PwD interact with to such systems. Here we discuss an experiment that aims to study how PwD can complete a set of activities using a variety of human - computer interaction techniques in an AR environment. During our analysis, we will answer 4 research questions: (RQ1) How autonomous are PwD while using the proposed system? (RQ2) How engaging is the system? (RQ3) How proficient are PwD in doing the proposed activities using errorful and errorless approaches? (RQ4) How useful is the proposed system as perceived by therapists? There were 7 people diagnosed with dementia participating in the study. We also invited 3 health professionals to provide feedback regarding the overall usefulness of the AR system for stimulation purposes in PwD who are at initial to intermediate stages of dementia.The experiment showed that, in general, participants did enjoy doing the activities and were able to complete them independently. As far for the therapists, they showed interest in using the system for stimulation purposes in the future interventions. However, the experiment also revealed that it is important to adapt the activities to the patient's profile.

description: Recovery of upper-body fine-motor skills after brain trauma, e.g. after a stroke, involves a long process of movement rehabilitation. When the arms and hands are affected patients often spend many hours exercising in order to regain control of their movements, often using children's toys. This paper describes the process of development of a Virtual Reality (VR) system designed to supplement rehabilitation by encouraging hand movements while playing a fun game. The system is based on the well-known Buzzwire children's toy that requires steady hand-eye coordination to pass a ring along a wire without touching the wire. The toy has in the past been used in a variety of research studies, but we considered it ideal for motor rehabilitation because it requires steady hand and finger movements. In our virtualised version of the toy the wire consists of a parametric spline curve with cylindrical cross-section positioned in front of the player. Cylinders at the ends of the 'wire' change colour to indicate which hand to use. The parametric nature of the wire allows us to record performance variables which are not readily available in the physical version. We report on two initial experiments which tested and evaluated various aspects of performance on able-bodied participants and stroke patients, followed by a description of how we developed the toy into a multi-level game that encourages increasingly intricate hand movements. In the first evaluation we tested if performance variables (such as average speed, and distance from the wire) could distinguish between dominant and non-dominant hands of able-bodied participants. We also compared performance with and without binocular viewing. Results showed that our metrics could distinguish between the players dominant versus non-dominant hand. We also noted a dramatic disruption of performance when binocular stereopsis was not available. The second experiment was a usability study involving a sample of stroke-affected participants with post-stroke hemiparesis. Results showed positive acceptance of the technology with no fatigue or nausea. Our gamified version of the task utilizes learnings from the previous studies to create an enjoyable multi-level game involving auditory guidance as feedback. Results are discussed in terms of potential benefits of using such technology in addition to conventional therapy.

description: Virtual reality applications (VRA) with 3D sounds on smartphones were used by six blind adults for indoor navigation. Each application provided users with three audio outputs with linear, logarithmic and customized response curves, that guided them during their tour within a real scenario that was previously virtualized using Unity 3D. The audio was transmitted, via low-power Bluetooth, from the mobile to the bone conduction headphones that were used to guide the user during his tour through an unknown space. The user's avatar moved through the virtualized environment simultaneously with the participant's movements in the real scenario. The movements of the user and the duration of the tour to go from a starting point to a target point were recorded each tour, in order to compare the efficiency and precision achieved by each sound during navigation. This research established that the VRA with a female voice and a customized response, improved the efficiency by 59% in locating target points within unfamiliar environments (p-value= 0.03614) compared to musical sound having a logarithmic response. Furthermore, it was found that the female voice and the 440Hz beeps increase the navigation precision compared to musical sound. 3D sound for indoor navigation could replace the sounds inside the place, with a small variation in efficiency and precision.

THE MAIN ASPECTS OF PATRIOTISM AND HUMANISM IN THE FAITH AND BELIEFS OF YOUNG PEOPLE
Creators: name: Eronov, Samarbek
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The article "The Main Aspects of Patriotism and Humanism in the Faith and Beliefs of Young People" investigates the complex interplay between patriotism and humanism as foundational elements of youth identity and belief systems. Through comprehensive surveys and qualitative interviews, the study analyzes how young individuals perceive their national identity alongside universal human values. The findings reveal that while many young people express a strong sense of patriotism, it is often nuanced by a commitment to humanistic values such as empathy, social justice, and global responsibility. The research highlights the influence of educational institutions, family backgrounds, and social interactions in shaping these beliefs. Additionally, the article discusses the challenges faced by the younger generation in reconciling national pride with humanitarian ideals in a rapidly changing world. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of how youth navigate their faith and beliefs within the dual frameworks of patriotism and humanism, suggesting pathways for fostering a more inclusive and compassionate society.

description: This paper studies the aspect of presence in a Virtual Reality (VR) environment that can be used for training purposes in the education sector and more specifically for teacher training and professional development. During the VR experience trainees had the chance to view the world from different perspectives through the eyes of different characters appearing in the scene. The experimental evaluation conducted aims to examine the effect of viewing the experience from different perspectives and viewpoints in relation to the overall user experience and the level of presence achieved. To accomplish these objectives an experiment was performed investigating presence and the correlation between presence and different viewpoints/perspectives. To measure presence a combination of methods were used including two different questionnaires, the use of an eeg device, EMOTIV EPOC+ and the analysis of heart rates. The results indicate that high levels of presence were recorded and that increased levels of presence are associated with viewing the VE from a student rather than a teacher perspective.

description: A self-sports learning system that provides users with real-time multimodal feedback about differences between a user's motion and an expert's motion is proposed. We also propose the Decayed Dynamic Time Warping algorithm, which allows the user to change the motion speed dynamically and repeat a target motion without additional operations. The user can thus imitate an expert's motion conveniently and accurately. The proposed system involves training and replay modes. In the training mode, the system provides audio-visual feedback to help the user imitate the expert's motion. The replay mode allows the user to compare their motion to that of the expert. An augmented reality head-mounted display delivers feedback and provides an immersive three-dimensional training experience.

description: Augmented Reality (AR) on consumer devices is now commonplace and it finds application in areas like online retail and gaming. Among which, school education can especially benefit from the interactivity and expressiveness provided by AR technology, facilitating the learning process of students. Although AR-enabled hardware and applications are becoming increasingly accessible to both students and teachers, the entry requirement for AR authoring is still prohibitively high for school teachers. Given the vast variation in the learning ability of students and school curricula, an AR authoring tool that allows the rapid and easy creation of educational content seems to be very desirable among teachers. This paper proposes a gesture-based control method that satisfies the need of educational AR authoring and presents prototypes that work well with smartphone VR head mounts. Through user studies we show that our proposed control method is simple but effective for basic authoring tasks. Our prototypes are also found to be useful in teaching different concepts that require a high degree of spatial comprehension.

title: An evaluation of the clinical microsystems approach in general practice quality improvement (accepted)
Creators: name: Abrahamson, Vanessa
name: Jaswal, Sabrena
name: Wilson, Patricia M.
Publisher: name: Cambridge University Press
Year: 2020

description: Background: Changes to the general practice (GP) contract in England (April 2019) introduced a new quality improvement (QI) domain. The clinical microsystems programme is an approach to QI with limited evidence in primary care. Aim: To explore experiences of GP staff participating in a clinical microsystems programme. Design and setting: GPs within one clinical commissioning group (CCG) in South East England. Normalisation process theory informed qualitative approach. Method: Review of all CCG clinical microsystems projects using pre-existing data. The Diffusion of Innovation Cycle was used to inform the sampling frame and GPs were invited to participate in interviews or focus groups. Ten practices participated; 11 coaches and 16 staff were interviewed. Results: The majority of projects were process-driven activities related to dministrative systems. Projects directly related to health outputs were fewer and related to externally imposed targets. Four key elements facilitated practices to engage: feeling in control; receiving enhanced service payment; having a senior staff member championing the approach; and good practice–coach relationship. There appeared to be three key benefits in addition to project-specific ones: improved working relationships between CCG and practice; more cohesive practice team; and time to reflect. Conclusion: Small projects with clear parameters were more successful than larger ones or those spanning organisations. However, there was little evidence suggesting the key benefits were unique attributes of the microsystems approach and sustainability was problematic. Future research should focus on cross-organisational approaches to QI and identify what, if any, added value the approach provides.

description: In a social context where two or more interlocutors interact with each other in the same space, one's sense of copresence with the others is an important factor for the quality of communication and engagement in the interaction. Although augmented reality (AR) technology enables the superposition of virtual humans (VHs) as interlocutors in the real world, the resulting sense of copresence is usually far lower than with a real human interlocutor. In this paper, we describe a human-subject study in which we explored and investigated the effects that subtle multi-modal interaction between the virtual environment and the real world, where a VH and human participants were co-located, can have on copresence. We compared two levels of gradually increased multi-modal interaction: (i) virtual objects being affected by real airflow as commonly experienced with fans in summer, and (ii) a VH showing awareness of this airflow. We chose airflow as one example of an environmental factor that can noticeably affect both the real and virtual worlds, and also cause subtle responses in interlocutors.We hypothesized that our two levels of treatment would increase the sense of being together with the VH gradually, i.e., participants would report higher copresence with airflow influence than without it, and the copresence would be even higher when the VH shows awareness of the airflow. The statistical analysis with the participant-reported copresence scores showed that there was an improvement of the perceived copresence with the VH when both the physical-virtual interactivity via airflow and the VH's awareness behaviors were present together. As the considered environmental factors are directed at the VH, i.e., they are not part of the direct interaction with the real human, they can provide a reasonably generalizable approach to support copresence in AR beyond the particular use case in the present experiment.

description: Haematological investigation is an important component of stress and immune response assessment and holds great potential for evaluating amphibian welfare. The olm (Proteus anguinus) is a neotenic, cave-dwelling salamander endemic to the Dinaric Karst and classified as a vulnerable species by the IUCN. The aim of the present study was to gain basic knowledge about the haematology of this endangered species and to establish reference values of leucocyte differential counts. Blood smears were obtained from recently captured animals and compared to smears from the same animals in long-term captivity (up to five years). The elongated erythrocytes are nucleated and are among the largest in vertebrates, which is also reflected in their lower concentration per millilitre of blood. The circulating blood can contain mitotically active, immature erythrocytes (erythroblasts), indicating that erythrocytes of the olm can undergo proliferation and maturation in circulating blood. Olms show a typical urodele leucocyte profile, with lymphocytes predominating, followed by neutrophils, although the proportion of lymphocytes is higher than in other urodeles. Eosinophil and monocyte counts were relatively low, while basophils were nearly absent. We found no statistically significant differences in leucocyte counts or in neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio neither between recently captured olms and same animals during captivity nor between the sexes, except for lower neutrophil count in captive females. Thus, no differences in stress levels between recently captured olms and captive olms were detected via haematological investigations. The significance of these results is discussed in the context of detecting stress and immune responses in olms.

External interfaces for robotics

description: Current advances in mixed reality (MR) technology achieves both, making the sensations more immersive and plausible, but also increase the utilization of these technologies in robotics. Their low-cost and the low effort to integrate such a system in complex facilities makes them interesting for industrial application. We present an efficient implementation of ''virtual fixtures'' [BR92] and the evaluation in a task of three different difficulties. Finally, it is discussed if the method is successfully implemented without real physical barriers and if human performance is effected in teleoperation or teleprogramming of industrial robots.

Quantum Solution for Configuration Selection and Prioritization

description: The analyses of highly configurable systems, as applied in software or automotive domains, yield hard problems due to the exponentially increasing number of possible product configurations. Current research identified that such combinatorial optimization problems, e.g. configuration selection and prioritization, are ideal targets for expected exponential quantum speedups. However, empirical evidence about the applicability of quantum computing to these problems is still missing. In this paper, we investigate how the constraint satisfaction and optimization problems of configuration selection and prioritization can be addressed using quantum computing. We propose a method to transform the configuration selection and prioritization problems encoded in attributed feature models into a quantum mechanical formulation suitable for optimization problems. We provide a Python library to automatically perform this transformation and apply the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA), such that configuration selection and prioritization are solved with quantum computers. Our approach is evaluated regarding feasibility, solution quality, and scalability. We show that QAOA obtains good results regarding configuration selection, but for configuration prioritization, the approach needs further improvement.
Hydration of Silica and Its Role in the Formation of Quartz Veins – Part 1
Creators: name: Elliston, John
Publisher: name: Substantia
Year: 2018

description: The crystalline forms of quartz and that it is insoluble are well known. The hydrolysis of silica and formation of polymeric silicic acids in slightly alkaline (pH 8.1 - 8.3) sea water is less well known and not recognised by many geologists. Silica is one of the most abundant components of ordinary sediments and the amorphous forms, the silica gels, have been closely studied. Their properties and behaviour are perhaps better known than those of many other colloids. Quartz veins are abundant in all types of sediments and in rocks and mineral deposits derived from them. Clearly if we study how silica is mobilised into these veins and lodes, how it silicifies wall rocks, forms opal, replaces shells and tree trunks, etc. then we may have a better basis for understanding how sulphide particles might similarly be mobilised into veins and lodes, permeate shales, form framboids, replace fossils and plant fragments or fine shale bands, etc. This article briefly summarises recent developments in the aqueous chemistry of silica. It emphasises the particulate nature of the amorphous silica species in order to update rather simplistic views that quartz veins and many other natural forms of quartz “crystallise directly from solution”. A number of features of quartz veins which are due to the particulate nature of natural polymeric silica are illustrated.

Visualizing Chemistry. The Application of Chemical Imaging to Address Scientific Challenges in Space Research
Creators: name: Lusa, Vincenzo

description: Chemical Imaging helps to answer difficult questions, especially when those questions occur in complex environments. For instance, forensic neuroradiology plays an important role in the courtroom to understand a defendant’s personality. But could this branch of science be essential in human exploration of space? Even if no emergency has happened so far, NASA established a partnership in 2002 with the U.S. National Institute of Justice to promote the knowledge of investigative techniques in the case of a crime being committed on a space mission. Based on forensic neuroradiology and behavioral genetics, this article presents a brand-new study protocol for creating security procedures designed to safeguard astronauts engaged in long-duration space travel. Since 2009 in Italy, some individuals have been prosecuted who, although convicted of murder, benefitted from reduced sentences through the verification of some genetic polymorphisms and Computed Axial Tomography (CAT), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) results which showed brain malformations that may produce manifestations of violence. The protocol specifically uses chemical imaging and behavioral genetics to show how cerebellar anomalies and biological markers predictive of criminal behavior can trigger impulsive reactions in response to stress. This protocol may prove critical when space agencies are evaluating candidates for extra-orbital flights of long duration.
