title: Evil Kingdoms - Nollywood und seine Liebe zum Horror
Creators: name: Goessler, Martin Demetrius
Year: 2011

description: In Nigeria hat sich in den letzten circa 20 Jahren eine Filmindustrie entwickelt, die zu der drittgrößten der Welt gezählt wird. Mit ihren Videofilmproduktionen überschwemmt die Industrie den ganzen subsaharischen Teil Afrikas. Auch auf der globalen Ebene sind die Produktionen Nollywoods, wie die Industrie genannt wird, in allen Ländern erhältlich, in denen eine nigerianische Diaspora vorhanden ist. Diese Diplomarbeit untersucht mehrere Aspekte des Phänomens Nollywood, wobei das Hauptaugenmerk auf das Genre der Horrorfilme in diesem Filmschaffen gelegt wird. Erstens wird im Sinne einer ethnohistorischen Betrachtung die Einbettung des Phänomens in die historischen und ethnischen Gegebenheiten Nigerias untersucht. Auch die Entwicklung des Filmschaffens in Nigeria wird beleuchtet, um die Wurzeln Nollywoods besser zu verstehen. Zweitens werden, unter Anwendung Pierre Bourdieus theoretischen und methodischen Ansätzen der Praxeologie, die Produktionsbedingungen untersucht, unter denen die Videofilme Nollywoods entstehen. Im Rahmen einer Analyse der Konsumption der Videofilme wurde auch eine Feldforschung unter Mitgliedern der nigerianischen Diasporagemeinde in Wien gemacht. Dabei wurden qualitative Interviews geführt. Die Interviewpartner wurden im Rahmen von thematisch fokussierten Interviews zu ihren Sehgewohnheiten, aber auch zur Frage, warum die Produkte Nollywoods, und hier besonders die Horrorfilme, so erfolgreich sind, befragt. Die Einbettung Nollywoods in eine globalisierte Welt wird unter Zuhilfenahme von Arjun Appadurais theoretischem Konzept der „scapes“ untersucht. Mehrere Horrorfilme werden auf Elemente untersucht, die immer wieder vorkommen und daher das Genre auszeichnen. So sind zum Beispiel die Elemente von Geheimgesellschaften und Geldmagie häufig. Da viele Filme zur Zeit der Militärdiktaturen mit eingeschränkter Meinungsfreiheit entstanden sind, werden diese Elemente als Allegorien auf illegal, zum Beispiel durch Korruption, zu Geld und Macht gekommene Personen gedeutet. Dies erklärt auch zum Teil die Beliebtheit der Horrorfilme. Das Publikum versteht die Andeutungen und kann sich mit der Kritik identifizieren. Hexerei, in Nigeria oft Juju genannt, ist ein weiteres zentrales Element der Horrorfilme. Dies führt im innernigerianischen Diskurs zu großen Kontroversen. Sowohl staatliche Stellen, als auch intellektuelle Kreise, werfen den Produkten Nollywoods vor, Nigeria als rückständig und abergläubig darzustellen. Diesem innernigerianischen Diskurs um Nollywood wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit nachgegangen. Zentral an Nollywood ist, dass die Filme Wünsche und Begierden der afrikanischen Bevölkerung widerspiegeln und deshalb sind diese Filme als Quelle für die kultur- und sozialanthropologische Forschung sehr interessant. In ihnen findet ein Diskurs über die momentane Lage in Afrika statt, der sich an ein afrikanisches Publikum richtet. Die Horrorfilme präsentieren die Auseinandersetzung einer afrikanischen Gesellschaft mit der Tradition und der Moderne

title: The development of financial industry and the relationship between banks free-entrance and financial security in China
Creators: name: Ding, Gaojie
Year: 2011

description: Die Umsetzung der China Foreign Regulations am 11.12.2006 symbolisiert den Beitritt China in die WTO. Die internationale Gemeinschaft über den Handel mit Finanzdienstleistungen zu Ehren der Verpfändung zeigt die internationale Eröffnung der chinesischen Banken. Diese Eröffnung bringt China nicht nur Kapital und fortschrittliche Management-Konzepte, Produkte und Technologien und fördert die Vertiefung und der Reform der Finanzmärkte. Sie verstärkt auch das Bewusstsein des Wettbewerbs auf dem Finanzmarkt und fördert die finanzielle Stabilität, Effizienz und Betriebe Chinas. Dadurch ragt das Finanzsicherheitsproblem heraus. China sollte durch die Öffnung die Gelegenheit ausnützen, den Wettbewerb auf dem Finanzmarkt zu fördern, Diversifikation von Finanzprodukten und Dienstleistung zu erhöhen, die chinesische Bankmanagement-Konzepte auszubessern, Kommerzialisierung der inländischen Banken zu fördern. Das Ziel ist, die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der inländischen Banken zu stärken und das Wirtschaftswachstum effizient zu unterstützen.
description: The Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on the Management of Foreign Capital was formally brought into effect on December 11, 2006, which marked that China has honored all the commitments on financial services we had made to the international community when joining the WTO, also marked that the China bank industry was opened up completely. The opening up of bank industry brought in not only capitals and advanced management concepts, products and technologies, and effectively promoted to deepen the financial reform, and increased the financial market enterprises’ sense of competition, enhanced the level of competition and improved financial innovation capacity, promoted stable, efficient and safe operation of China’s financial industry. Meanwhile, problem of financial security have begun to bubble to the surface. China should grasp the opportunity to promote market competition of Chinese financial industry, enhance the diversification of financial products and the services efficiency, change the management principles of China’s banking sector, improve the management level, and promote the commercialization process of domestic banking sectors, and ultimately enhance the international competitiveness of China’s banking sectors and provide strong and powerful support for national economic growth.
The role of programmed cell death in the acute respiratory distress syndrome
Creators: name: Handslip, Rhodri
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains associated with a high mortality rate. Despite advances in critical care and dedicated research, treatment options are limited. Pulmonary necrosis is a key histological feature of diffuse alveolar damage which defines ARDS. Necroptosis is the archetypal form of programmed necrosis which is canonically activated by tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α. TNF signalling is also highly implicated in the pathobiology of ARDS. Necroptosis is executed through receptor interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase (RIPK)-1 and 3 driven phosphorylation of mixed lineage kinase like domain (MLKL). Phosphorylated MLKL (pMLKL) oligomerises and forms plasma membrane pores, leading to necroptotic cell lysis consequently releasing pro-inflammatory cytokines and DAMPs extracellularly. Our objectives were: firstly, to develop an in vitro pulmonary endothelial model of different forms of TNFR-1 mediated programmed cell death, principally to examine the necroinflammatory response. Secondly, to characterise the necroinflammatory response in clinical ARDS to investigate whether necroptosis is activated and may contribute to the pathobiology of ARDS. The TNFR-1 cell death model stimulated TNFR-1 complex I, II and successfully activated necroptosis. Necroptosis caused upregulation of cell death, endothelial activation, and cytokine production, which were attenuated by necroptosis inhibitors, confirming necroptosis activation. Intracellular RIPK3-pMLKL complexes were formed and released following necroptosis activation. Paradoxically, RIPK3-pMLKL complexes were also extruded following MLKL inhibition, in the absence of cell death, potentially revealing a protective mechanism. Secondly, raised RIPK3 and necrosis marker Cytokeratin-18 were detectable in ARDS blood and BAL fluid samples. RIPK3 levels were persistently increased in the non-resolving ‘hyperinflammatory’ ARDS subphenotype by comparison to the resolving ‘hypoinflammatory’ subphenotype. RIPK3 was bound to pMLKL in complexes in the circulation of general, Influenza and COVID ARDS patients, implicating necroptosis activation in multiple aetiologies of ARDS. The data potentially provides insight into the role of necroptosis in the pathobiology of ARDS.

description: In this work, we present a study on the long time-scale period variations of four single-mode high-amplitude delta Scuti stars (HADS) via the classical $O-C$ analysis. The target HADS are (i) XX Cygni, (ii) YZ Bootis, (iii) GP Andromedae, and (iv) ZZ Microscopii. The newly determined times of maximum light came from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO), and Bundesdeutsche Arbeitsgemeinschaft f$\ddot{\rm u}$r Ver$\ddot{\rm a}$nderliche Sterne (BAV) projects. Together with the times of maximum light obtained in the historical literature, the $O-C$ analysis was performed on these HADS, in which we obtained the linear period variation rates $\dot{P}/P$ as $(9.2 \pm 0.2) \times 10^{-9} \ \mathrm{yr^{-1}}$, $(3.2\pm 0.2)\times 10^{-9} \ \mathrm{yr^{-1}}$, $(4.22\pm 0.03) \times 10^{-8} \ \mathrm{yr^{-1}}$, and $(-2.06 \pm 0.02) \times 10^{-8} \ \mathrm{yr^{-1}}$, respectively. Based on these results and some earlier research, we also discuss the evolutionary stages and the mechanisms of the period variation of these four HADS.

description: In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the SX Phoenicis (SX Phe) type star CY Aquarii (CY Aqr). Our investigation included a detailed $O-C$ analysis based on a 90-year observational dataset, augmented by 1,367 newly determined times of maximum light. The $O-C$ diagram reveals that (i) the primary star of CY Aqr exhibits a linear period variation rate of $(1/P_0)(\mathrm{d} P/ \mathrm{d} t) = (2.132 \pm 0.002) \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{yr}^{-1}$ for its dominant pulsation mode; (ii) the primary star is disturbed by two companions and part of a triple system; (iii) Companion A has an orbital period of approximately 60.2 years and Companion B has an orbital period of approximately 50.8 years. It is highly probable that both Companion A and B are white dwarfs, with Companion A's elliptical orbit displaying an eccentricity of $e = 0.139 \pm 0.002$, which is the lowest confirmed value in similar binary and triple systems to date. Most notably, Companion A and B have masses that are identical within the uncertainties, with a mass ratio exceeding 0.99. Whether this is considered a coincidental event or the result of an underlying mechanism, CY Aqr is an exceptionally rare case that broadens our understanding of multiple star systems and offers a unique opportunity to delve into the enigmatic evolutionary histories of such configurations. Further intriguing characteristics of this system warrant investigation in future studies, based on additional observational data.

title: Factors Identified by Nutritionists as Affecting Breastfeeding Rates among Participants of the Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children
Creators: name: Casey, Lauren
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2017

description: Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the attitudes of WIC Nutritionists regarding current WIC breastfeeding programs as well as their suggestions for potential interventions to promote breastfeeding within WIC. Methods: WIC Nutritionists from three counties in Georgia were emailed a link to a brief survey regarding their demographics, breastfeeding promotion at their clinics, and perceived barriers and interventions for discussing breastfeeding in their clinics. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: Twenty-seven WIC Nutritionists from Gwinnett, Newton, and Rockdale counties and the District Office completed the survey. All of the respondents indicated that they believed breastfeeding is important and that their clinics are providing breast pumps and peer support groups for mothers who have chosen to breastfeed. The vast majority (92.6%) indicated that they are very likely to discuss breastfeeding with pregnant mothers during their initial session. Lack of interest was reported by 37% to be the primary barrier to discussing breastfeeding with mothers, and the most popular intervention reported was educational programs for family members of the mother (26%). Conclusion: WIC Nutritionists in Gwinnett, Newton, and Rockdale counties have positive attitudes toward breastfeeding and provide support for mothers seeking it in the form of education and resources early in pregnancy. Each clinic should have the opportunity to determine the key barriers to breastfeeding in their clinic population and find evidence-based interventions that will best serve their clients.

description: Studying termite collective behavior and movement patterns have been giving us insight into how complex phenomena may emerge from simple, individual actions. Although interesting and relevant, studies of this kind are often difficulted by the hardship of obtaining data from real and living samples. Even when confined and observed in controlled ambient and with aid of video recording, the raw footage material requires the attention and time from a human observer to extract the relevant data from video. In this paper we present a few computational tools, based on digital image processing and machine learning, devised to facilitate this process of data extraction. Using Python and scientific open source packages we were able to track termites on video and report their position, encounters, distances and social roles (workers or soldiers) in an almost one hundred percent automated method, while providing a data pipeline that reports the experiments results in a easy way for use in other tools of data analysis. The use of modern tracking algorithms and offline trained neural networks enables that this process occurs in almost real time on a regular modern computer.

El programa, que respondó al objetivo de promover las agroecologías y la soberanías alimentarias, se enmarcó en lo que para muchos fue un rabo de nube, un viento barredor, benéfico para la salud de la tierra, representado por un cambio de gobierno con programas de enfoque agroecológico y un decreto presidencial para la reducción y eliminación gradual del herbicida Glifosato. Veneno usado para eliminar la mayoría de las plantas o “malas hierbas”, deja la tierra desnuda, provoca pérdida de diversidad arriba y abajo de la tierra, mata insectos y animales polinizadores, contamina cultivos, tierra y agua, intoxica a las personas, y causa reducción de jornales para los sujetos dueños y trabajadores de la tierra, a un costo cada vez más caro. En esta primera generación PIES AGILES (2022-2023) participaron un poco más de 300 personas de 16 estados de la República Mexicana. Como parte del trabajo del segundo año se promovieron cursos optativos o co-laboratorios, uno de ellos se llamó “tú sí escribes muy bonito”. Donde si bien el objetivo fue practicar la escritura individual y la generación de un proyecto colectivo, también propuso compartir, motivar a otros, documentar una experiencia, vincularse dentro y fuera sus territorios, retratar un período, tener una instantánea de un grupo de trabajo y, hasta desahogarse de las cargas cotidianas. En la búsqueda de promover las escrituras, e inspirada por maestros, promotores, aprendices y practicantes de agroecologías y soberanías, al cierre de la optativa redacté una carta a las estudiantes que a continuación comparto.

description: An intergenerational design team of children (ages 7-11 years old) along with graduate students and faculty in computer science and information studies developed a programming language for children, Toque. Concrete real- world cooking scenarios were used as programming metaphors to support an accessible programming learning experience. The Wiimote and Nunchuk were used as physical programming input devices. The programs that were created were pictorial recipes which dynamically controlled animations of an on-screen chef preparing virtual dishes in a graphical kitchen environment. Through multiple design sessions, programming strategies were explored, cooking metaphors were developed and, prototypes of the Toque environment were iterated. Results of these design experiences have shown us the importance of pair-programming, programming by storytelling, parallel programming, function-argument relationships, and the role of tangibility in overcoming challenges with constraints imposed by the system design.
Neutrino cooling rates due to nickel isotopes for presupernova evolution of massive stars

description: Simulation studies indicate that weak interaction rates on nickel isotopes play a crucial role in determining the electron-to-baryon ratio within the stellar interior during the late stages of core evolution. (Anti)neutrinos produced through weak decay processes escape from stellar regions with densities below 10^11 g/cm^3, carrying away energy and thereby reducing the core entropy. In this work, we present a microscopic calculation of neutrino and antineutrino cooling rates resulting from weak interactions on nickel isotopes in the mass range 56 <= A <= 71. The calculations are performed using the deformed proton-neutron Quasiparticle Random Phase Approximation (pn-QRPA) model. Recent investigations into the Gamow-Teller (GT) strength distributions of nickel isotopes demonstrate that the deformed pn-QRPA model successfully reproduces experimental charge-changing transition data.

description: This study consists of two separate investigations centered on neutron-rich isotopes of copper, utilizing two distinct nuclear models. In the first part, the nuclear ground-state properties of copper isotopes in the mass range 72 <= A <= 82 were analyzed using the relativistic mean field (RMF) model. Quadrupole moment-constrained RMF calculations were carried out with DD-ME2 and DD-PC1 density-dependent interactions to compute the ground-state binding energies, charge radii, proton and neutron radii, quadrupole moments, and deformation parameters for the 71-82Cu isotopes. The results show good agreement with the limited experimental data available and previous theoretical predictions. In addition, potential energy curves were evaluated to investigate the ground-state geometrical configurations of these isotopes. The second part of the study is devoted to calculating lepton capture rates under stellar conditions. While earlier works have provided allowed Gamow-Teller (GT) and unique first-forbidden (U1F) beta-decay rates for selected neutron-rich Cu isotopes in stellar environments, the corresponding lepton capture rates had not yet been computed. This paper presents, for the first time, those lepton capture rates.

description: Collection recommender systems suggest groups of items that work well as a whole. The interaction ef- fects between items is an important consideration, but the vast space of possible collections makes it difficult to analyze. In this paper, we present a class of games with a purpose for building collections where users cre- ate collections and, using an output agreement model, they are awarded points based on the collections that match. The data from these games will help researchers develop guidelines for collection recommender systems among other applications. We conducted a pilot study of the game prototype which indicated that it was fun and challenging for users, and that the data obtained had the characteristics necessary to gain insights into the interaction effects among items. We present the game and these results followed by a discussion of the next steps necessary to bring games to bear on the prob- lem of creating harmonious groups.

description: Der Wunsch, die strukturellen und thermodynamischen Eigenschaften von Materie auf der Nanoskala zu verstehen und manipulieren zu können, hat in den letzten Jahren zu einerVielzahl von Untersuchungen im Bereich der weichen Materie (engl. soft matter) geführt.In der vorliegenden Masterarbeit wird eine ionische Flüssigkeit in mit zwei verschiedenen Oberflächenverankerungen versehenen, anodisierten Aluminiumoxid (AAO)-Membranenunterschiedlicher Porengrößen, untersucht. Des Weiteren werden zwei Mischungen chiraler Flüssigkristalle, sowohl in nativen nanoporösen AAO-Membranen verschiedener Durch-messer, als auch im Bulk-Zustand, analysiert. Aus diesem Grund wird erfolgreich ein optoelektronischer Versuchsaufbau aufgebaut, um die optische Retardierung (lineare Doppel-brechung), sowie simultan die optische Aktivität (zirkulare Doppelbrechung), bestimmen zu können. Für die Durchführung der Messungen wird ein LabVIEW-Porgramm geschrie-ben und erfolgreich implementiert. Mit Hilfe der so gewonnenen Messdaten werden diedurch  die  eingeschränkte  Porengeometrie  beeinflussten,  themotropen  Phasen überänge und die Molekülausrichtung in den Nanoporen, sowohl für die Flüssigkristallmischungen, als auch für die ionische Flüssigkeit, bestimmt. Die Mischungen zeigen im Bulk und in dennanoporösen AAO-Membranen eine senkrechte Anordnung. In den nativen Membranen zeigt die ionische Flüssigkeit bei kleinen Durchmessern eine senkrechte Anordnung, wobei es bei größeren zu einer parallelen Ausrichtung kommt. Dagegen zeigt sie in allen modifizierten Proben eine parallele Anordnung in den Poren. Reorientierungen finden allerdings in  beiden  AAO-Membranen  Typen  während  der  Heiz- und  Kühlzyklen  statt.  Des  Weiteren kann eine Abnahme der Phasenübergangstemperaturen für einige der untersuchten ionischen Flüssigkeitsproben nachgewiesen werden.

description: Providing timely and actionable feedback is crucial for effective collaboration, learning, and coordination within teams. However, many teams face challenges in receiving feedback that aligns with their goals and promotes cohesion. We introduce tAIfa (``Team AI Feedback Assistant''), an AI agent that uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to provide personalized, automated feedback to teams and their members. tAIfa analyzes team interactions, identifies strengths and areas for improvement, and delivers targeted feedback based on communication patterns. We conducted a between-subjects study with 18 teams testing whether using tAIfa impacted their teamwork. Our findings show that tAIfa improved communication and contributions within the teams. This paper contributes to the Human-AI Interaction literature by presenting a computational framework that integrates LLMs to provide automated feedback, introducing tAIfa as a tool to enhance team engagement and cohesion, and providing insights into future AI applications to support team collaboration.

Bulletproof Retail: Revolutionizing Big-Box Business Continuity with Next-Gen Resilience Solutions

description: This paper introduces an innovative, high-energy business continuity framework specifically designed for big-box retail environments. Traditional continuity methods have consistently failed due to limited foresight, reactive planning, and lack of integration with frontline teams. To solve these critical issues, I present a new resilience strategy built on three core pillars: predictive threat intelligence leveraging advanced AI analytics, blockchain-driven supply chain transparency, and frontline-driven organizational resilience. This model transforms continuity from a back-office requirement into a powerful competitive advantage, enabling big-box retailers to not just survive disruptions but actively thrive during them.
K-essence sources of Kerr-Schild spacetimes

description: We extend a result by one of the authors, established for nonvacuum Einstein gravity, to minimally coupled k-essence scalar-tensor theories. First we prove that in order to source a Kerr-Schild type spacetime, the k-essence Lagrangian should be at most quadratic in the kinetic term. This is reduced to linear dependence when the Kerr-Schild null congruence is autoparallel. Finally, we show that requiring the solutions of the Einstein equations linearized in Kerr-Schild type perturbations to also solve the full nonlinear system of Einstein equations, selects once again k-essence scalar fields with Lagrangians linear in the kinetic term. The only other k-essence sharing the property of sourcing perturbative Kerr-Schild spacetimes which are also exact, is the scalar field constant along the integral curves of the Kerr-Schild congruence, with otherwise unrestricted Lagrangian.

High-fidelity direct numerical simulation of three-dimensional millimeter-sized liquid Leidenfrost drops
Creators: name: Mohamed, Mohamed Maher Morsi Hassan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: This thesis provides unique insights into the characteristics and dynamics of millimetre-sized liquid drops impacting on heated substrates maintained above the Leidenfrost point. Threedimensional direct numerical simulations are carried out to investigate the Leidenfrost drop regime. The Level Contour Reconstruction interface hybrid tracking method, which combines the advantages of the level set and front-tracking methods, is adopted to simulate the complex three-dimensional phase change flow for which interfacial oscillations are a predominant feature. Good comparisons are obtained by validating the present numerical framework with experimental data and numerical results from the literature. The characteristics and dynamics associated with the different Leidenfrost drop shape regimes are systematically investigated over a wide range of Bond numbers. The drop shapes are elucidated beyond the steady state drop shapes previously presented in theoretical [1] and numerical approaches [2]. Drops with large Bond numbers exhibit more complex dynamics due to the dominance of the inertial forces over the surface tension forces, while smaller drops remain quasi-spherical. The role of the vapour layer is investigated, and the effect of the vapour layer on the base and the emergence of interfacial oscillations is presented. Bubble encapsulation mechanisms occur at the apex and the base of the drop, with the former shown to occur at low Weber numbers. Additionally, the effect of the surface temperature on sustained bouncing brought about by the vapour layer is investigated at low Bond and Weber numbers. The rebound height largely depends on the surface temperature, and it is found that under-damped bouncing dynamics are associated with high surface temperatures. Due to the prominent role of drop impact in many industrial applications, the dynamics of impacting drops are studied at high Weber numbers. Two jetting mechanisms are highlighted, and the pressure and temperature profiles show the role of the propagating interfacial waves on the dynamic transition prior to the jetting singularity. Upward jetting occurs at the early and late stages of the drop lifetime, while downward jetting occurs during the onset of the recoiling stage. Fingering patterns are observed in sub-cooled drops with more complex dynamics than saturated drops, and the role of the different instabilities is highlighted.

description: As technology for children becomes more mobile, social, and distributed, our design methods and techniques must evolve to better explore these new directions. This paper reports on “Layered Elaboration,” a co-design technique developed over the past year. Layered Elaboration allows design teams to generate ideas through an iterative process in which each version leaves prior ideas intact while extending concepts. Layered Elaboration is a useful technique as it enables co-design to take place asynchronously and does not require much space or many resources. Our intergenerational team used the technique to design a prototype of an instructional game about energy conservation

description: This accompanying document for deliverable D4.1 Methods and Tools for Scalable Distributed Processing describes the main mechanisms and tools used in the BigDataGrapes (BDG) platform to support efficient processing of large datasets in the context of grapevine-related assets. The BDG software stack designed provides efficient and fault-tolerant tools for distributed processing, aiming at providing scalability and reliability for the applications.

The document first introduces the big picture of the architecture of the BDG platform and the main technologies currently used in the Persistence and Processing Layers of the platform to perform efficient data processing over extremely large dataset.

Then the requirements needed to run the BigDataGrapes platform are introduced and discussed, by also providing instructions to set up and to launch the platform. The platform has been built, re-using and customizing the software stack of the Big Data Europe (BDE, https://www.big-data-europe.eu/). Besides the customization of some existing components, the BigDataGrapes software stack extends the BDE to better support efficient processing and distributed predictive analytics of geospatial raster data in the context of precision agriculture and Farm Management Systems. Furthermore, all the platform components have been designed and built using Docker containers. They thus include everything needed to deploy the BDG platform with a guaranteed behavior on any suitable system that can run a Docker engine.

Finally, to provide the reader with practical examples of usage of the current release of the BDG platform, we report about two demos that have been already developed on the top of it by the project’s partner. Specifically, the two demonstrators perform scalable operations on geospatial raster data using the Spark-based GeoTrellis geographic data processing engine provided by the BDG platform. The first demo regards the tiling of large raster satellite images. Tiling is a mandatory process that allows the large raster datasets to be split-up into manageable pieces that can be processed on parallel and distributed resources. As a second demonstrator, the tiles previously computed are processed to extract from each tile image two relevant indexes. The first index is the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), a graphical indicator that assess at what degree the target being observed contains live green vegetation or not. The second index is instead the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), most appropriate for water body mapping.
