description: Wearable devices (WDs) can objectively assess patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) in clinical trials. In this study, the feasibility and acceptability of using commercial WDs in elderly patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) or surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) will be explored. This is a prospective observational study. Participants were trained to use a WD and a smartphone to collect data on their physical activity, rest heart rate and number of hours of sleep. Validated questionnaires were also used to evaluate these outcomes. A technology acceptance questionnaire was used at the end of the follow up. In our participants an overall good compliance in wearing the device (75.1% vs. 79.8%, SAVR vs. TAVR) was assessed. Half of the patients were willing to continue using the device. Perceived ease of use is one of the domains that scored higher in the technology acceptance questionnaire. In this study we observed that the use of a WD is accepted in our frail population for an extended period. Even though commercial WDs are not tailored for clinical research, they can produce useful information on patient behavior, especially when coordinated with intervention tailored to the single patient.
title: Stereoscopic videos : data generation, image synthesis and motion analysis
Creators: name: Mehl, Lukas
Publisher: name: Universität Stuttgart

Subjects: subject: 004

description: Videos are an essential data source for computer vision and an important form of media and entertainment. While many research works consider monocular videos, i.e. videos captured with a single camera, there is less focus on stereoscopic videos, i.e. videos captured with two cameras, although they have a direct correspondence to the human binocular vision system. In this thesis, we will discuss stereoscopic videos in detail and focus on the three main topics data generation, image synthesis and motion analysis. In the first main topic, we discuss data generation for stereoscopic video tasks in computer vision. There, we first introduce a novel large-scale stereoscopic video dataset with ground truth for the stereo matching, optical flow and scene flow tasks and propose a high-detail evaluation methodology that is able to assess predictions at fine details such as grass or hair. Based on this, we introduce a benchmark website for the evaluation and comparison of future works. We further analyze the results of 14 initial methods from the dense matching literature and investigate the influence of their model architectures on the benchmark performance. Additionally, we propose an augmentation strategy with snow particle effects that can be used to create even more data based on existing datasets. In the second main topic, we introduce image synthesis for stereo conversion, i.e. generating stereoscopic videos from monocular videos. We present a method that performs disparity-aware warping, consistent foreground-background compositing and background-aware inpainting and combines these steps with a temporal consistency strategy that integrates information from additional video frames. Several experiments not only show that our approach outperforms existing methods both visually and quantitatively by a large margin, but also analyze the model design choices. Further, by adding extensions for user interaction to our model, we demonstrate that our approach is directly applicable to current practices in 3D movie production. In our third main topic, we cover motion analysis for stereoscopic videos by introducing a novel method for scene flow prediction. Our model predicts scene flow based on three frames from a stereoscopic video by combining forward predictions and the SE(3) matrix inversion of backward predictions in a fusion module, which leads to strong improvements over baseline models and highly competitive benchmark results. Further experiments demonstrate model robustness and compare architectures, scene flow parametrizations and fusion strategies. With contributions in these three main topics, this dissertation advances both datasets and algorithms in the context of stereoscopic videos.
View-Based Object Recognition Using Saliency Maps

Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 1998

description: We introduce a novel view-based object representation, called the saliency map graph (SMG), which captures the salient regions of an object view at multiple scales using a wavelet transform. This compact representation is highly invariant to translation, rotation (image and depth), and scaling, and offers the locality of representation required for occluded object recognition. To compare two saliency map graphs, we introduce two graph similarity algorithms. The first computes the topological similarity between two SMG's, providing a coarse-level matching of two graphs. The second computes the geometrical similarity between two SMG's, providing a fine-level matching of two graphs. We test and compare these two algorithms on a large database of model object views

description: Astronomical observations performed from ground-based mid-infrared (MIR) instrumentation requires the removal of the fast time variable components of array background and sky/background variation. “Chopping” has been typically employed, which involves oscillating the telescope’s secondary mirror a few times a second. Yet, this creates various detrimental effects which include: (a) reducing on-object photon collection time, (b) “nodding” of the telescope to remove the radiative offset created by the chopping, (c) places strict demand on the secondary mirror, (d) depends on a frequently fixed chop-frequency regardless of sky conditions. Once we move into the thirty-meter telescope era, chopping the secondary mirror will be unfeasible. To address these issues drift scanning can be employed to remove the necessity of chopping if the sky and background are sufficiently stable. We report the drift scanning results obtained while utilizing the MIR instrument CanariCam on the 10.4m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC). We also note the potential applications to other instruments such as TAO/MIMIZUKU and 30m class instruments.

description: The necessity of conserving both scattered energy and asymmetry factor for ballistic incidence after finite volume method (FVM) or discrete-ordinates method (DOM) discretization is shown. A phase-function normalization technique introduced previously by the present authors is applied to scattering of ballistic incidence in 3D FVM/DOM to improve treatment of anisotropic scattering through reduction of angular false scattering errors. Ultrafast radiative transfer predictions generated using FVM and DOM are compared to benchmark Monte Carlo to illustrate the necessity of ballistic phase-function normalization. Proper ballistic phase-function treatment greatly improves predicted heat fluxes and energy deposition for anisotropic scattering and for situations where accurate numerical modeling is crucial.
Staying at Home or Working for Pay? Attachment to Modern Mothering Identities

Mothering ideology

description: In a context where the pressures of intensive mothering are all-consuming, mothers who work for pay, or those with mother-worker identities, face difficult challenges as they attempt to execute the tasks of both parenthood and employment in effective ways. In contrast, stay-at-home mothers, or those with mother-caregiver identities, receive reinforcing messages from intensive mothering ideology that they should remain solely focused on meeting their children's everyday needs. Using random sample survey data collected from 3,327 women in mothers' organizations during 2009, I find that only 18.5% of all mothers have strong beliefs regarding whether working for pay is best for children or not, and no single mothering identity (mother-worker or mother-caregiver) had a statistically significant relationship with holding such beliefs. However, among those who held such beliefs, full-time mother-workers were less likely than mother-caregivers to be able to align their current employment statuses with their preferred paid work preferences.

description: This review provides a brief literature survey on enhanced heat transfer research published in the English language journals in 2020. A topic search containing either "heat transfer" or "heat transport" or "thermal transport" in the Web of Science resulted in over 28,000 papers published in 2020 and nearly 30% were relevant to heat transfer intensification, which indicates the importance and rapid development of heat transfer enhancement technologies. The chosen studies focus on various heat transfer enhancement research categorized into conduction, convection, radiation, boiling and condensation, energy storage, thermal management, and cross research involving two or more categories. Heat conduction papers are selected from the micro/nanoscale areas with a focus on interfacial phenomena. Important active, passive, and compound techniques for enhancing convective heat transfer are incorporated. Thermal radiation is concentrated on near-field radiation and solar energy. Heat transfer enhancement in boiling and condensation as well as in thermal energy storage, renewable and sustainable energy, and thermal management of electronics and high-end equipment is critical in many engineering applications. From the selected literature published in 2020, significant attempts have been made to research and development on heat transfer enhancement technology covering both conventional and emerging techniques. The prospects of the heat transfer enhancement research are reflected according to the literature survey. Research of innovative heat transfer enhancement techniques is immense, encompassing every aspect from understanding the fundamental theory and physical mechanisms of various heat transfer enhancement techniques to their applications. Research of emerging techniques using new interfacial materials, nanofluids, micro- and nanostructures, microchannels, and new compound enhancement techniques incorporating conventional and new techniques becomes popular. However, there are big challenges in understanding the mechanisms, engineering design methodology, and applications with these emerging techniques. Many aspects are urgently needed to be investigated and developed to achieve systematic theory, mechanisms, and design methodology for applications in thermal processes, energy storage, renewable energy, decarbonized heating and cooling and many industrial and civil sectors.
Registration of Structures in Arbitrary Dimensions: Implicit Representations, Mutual Information & Free form Deformations

description: Registration is a core component in various applications of imaging and vision. While simple cases refer to the registration of clouds of points, a strong need exists for shape, image and volume alignment. In this paper, we propose a novel global-to-local registration method that integrates statistical and variational techniques. Registration is considered in an implicit higher dimensional space. The powerful space of distance transforms of arbitrary metric is used as an embedding function. Mutual information can support various motion models and is considered to perform global registration. A B-Spline approximation of grid is used within a free-from deformation criterion to recover a (complementary to the global) dense registration field that is continuous and guarantees one-to-one mapping. Such framework exhibits robustness and can cope in an efficient manner with important local deformations. 2D/3D shapes are used to demonstrate the potentials of the proposed technique.

description: Plant-based protein sources have a characteristic aroma that limits their usage in various meat-alternative formulations. Despite being the most popular plant-based protein, the allergenicity of soy protein severely restricts the potential adoption of soy protein as an animal substitute. Thereby, allergen-free plant-protein sources need to be characterized. Herein, we demonstrate a rapid solid-phase-microextraction gas-chromatography/mass-spectrometry (SPME-GC/MS) technique for comparing the volatile aroma profile concentration of two different allergen-free plant-protein sources (brown rice and pea) and comparing them with soy protein. The extraction procedure consisted of making a 1:7 w/v aqueous plant protein slurry, and then absorbing the volatile compounds on an SPME fibre under agitation for 10 min at 40 °C, which was subsequently injected onto a GC column coupled to an MS system. Observed volatile concentrations were used in conjunction with odour threshold values to generate a Total Volatile Aroma Score for each protein sample. A total of 76 volatile compounds were identified. Aldehydes and furans were determined to be the most dominant volatiles present in the plant proteins. Both brown rice protein and pea protein contained 64% aldehydes and 18% furans, with minor contents of alcohols, ketones and other compounds. On the other hand, soy protein consisted of fewer aldehydes (46%), but a more significant proportion of furans (42%). However, in terms of total concentration, brown rice protein contained the highest intensity and number of volatile compounds. Based on the calculated odour activity values of the detected compounds, our study concludes that pea proteins could be used as a suitable alternative to soy proteins in applications for allergen-free vegan protein products without interfering with the taste or flavour of the product.

description: Arctic coastal infrastructure and cultural and archeological sites are increasingly vulnerable to erosion and flooding due to amplified warming of the Arctic, sea level rise, lengthening of open water periods, and a predicted increase in frequency of major storms. Mitigating these hazards necessitates decision-making tools at an appropriate scale. The objectives of this paper are to provide such a tool by assessing potential erosion and flood hazards at Herschel Island, a UNESCO World Heritage candidate site. This study focused on Simpson Point and the adjacent coastal sections because of their archeological, historical, and cultural significance. Shoreline movement was analyzed using the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) after digitizing shorelines from 1952, 1970, 2000, and 2011. For purposes of this analysis, the coast was divided in seven coastal reaches (CRs) reflecting different morphologies and/or exposures. Using linear regression rates obtained from these data, projections of shoreline position were made for 20 and 50 years into the future. Flood hazard was assessed using a least cost path analysis based on a high-resolution light detection and ranging (LiDAR) dataset and current Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change sea level estimates. Widespread erosion characterizes the study area. The rate of shoreline movement in different periods of the study ranges from −5.5 to 2.7 m·a⁻¹ (mean −0.6 m·a⁻¹). Mean coastal retreat decreased from −0.6 m·a⁻¹ to −0.5 m·a⁻¹, for 1952–1970 and 1970–2000, respectively, and increased to −1.3 m·a⁻¹ in the period 2000–2011. Ice-rich coastal sections most exposed to wave attack exhibited the highest rates of coastal retreat. The geohazard map combines shoreline projections and flood hazard analyses to show that most of the spit area has extreme or very high flood hazard potential, and some buildings are vulnerable to coastal erosion. This study demonstrates that transgressive forcing may provide ample sediment for the expansion of depositional landforms, while growing more susceptible to overwash and flooding.

description: We present an analysis of the archival XMM-Newton observations of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) supernova remnant N132D totaling more than 500ks. We focus on the high temperature plasma ($kt\sim 4.5$keV) that is responsible for the high energy continuum and exciting the Fe K emission. An image analysis shows that the Fe K emission is mainly concentrated in the southern part of the remnant interior to the region defined by the forward shock. This Fe K distribution would be consistent with an asymmetric distribution of the Fe ejecta and/or an asymmetric interaction between the reverse shock and the Fe ejecta. We compare the EPIC-pn and EPIC-MOS spectra in the 3.0 -- 12.0keV bandpass with a model based on RGS data plus a higher temperature component, in collisional ionization equilibrium (CIE), or non-equilibrium (NEI) (both ionizing and recombining). We find that the data are equally well-fitted by the CIE and ionizing models. Assuming the CIE and ionizing spectral models, the Fe in this high temperature component is significantly enhanced with respect to typical LMC abundances. We can place only an upper limit on the neutral Fe K line. We conclude that the Fe~K emission is due to ejecta heated by the reverse shock given the spatial distribution, relatively high temperature, and enhanced abundance. We estimate the progenitor mass based on the Ca/Fe and Ni/Fe mass ratios to be $13\le M_P \le 15 M_\odot$.

description: Il presente lavoro si sforza di mettere in luce e analizzare singolarmente gli elementi del metodo di insegnamento/apprendimento concepito dal Dewey, incluso il fatto che l'insegnamento, per essere efficace, deve mettere l'allievo nella condizione di affrontare problemi analoghi a quelli che egli si trova a dover risolvere nella vita di tutti i giorni e che, in quanto tali, possono realmente suscitare i suoi più profondi interessi. Se il problema proposto alla riflessione dell'allievo rimane confinato alla materia scolastica, esso non potrà che stimolare interessi superficiali, disgiunti dalla vera motivazione. Viene esaminato il ruolo, fondamentale per l'apprendimento, svolto dall'azione compiuta dal discente, come pure il preciso significato che deve essere attribuito, secondo il medesimo autore, al concetto di esperienza conoscitiva. Il processo di apprendimento, tuttavia, è un fenomeno complesso, sul quale esercitano la propria influenza anche altri fattori, che vengono suggeriti dal pedagogista americano. Lo stretto legame poi tra metodo e oggetto di apprendimento è un altro capitolo di somma importanza nell'argomentazione sviluppata a sostegno della teoria pedagogica qui considerata. Se da un lato occorre specificare, per intendere correttamente una metodologia quale quella in esame, la funzione assunta dal "materiale didattico", dall'altro ci si deve occupare del ruolo importantissimo svolto dalle c.d. "occupazioni attive", secondo la terminologia usata dall'autore, ivi comprese quelle realtà che vanno sotto il nome di gioco e lavoro. Lo scritto focalizza quindi i termini più strettamente riferiti alla metodologia didattica deweyana per chiarirne il significato.

description: Large-scale quantum communication networks require quantum repeaters due to the signal attenuation in optical fibers. Ideal quantum repeater nodes efficiently link a quantum memory with photons serving as flying qubits. Color centers in diamond, particularly the negatively charged silicon vacancy center, are promising candidates to establish such nodes. Inefficient connection between the color center’s spin to the optical fiber networks is a major obstacle, that could be resolved by utilizing optical resonators. Here, we couple individual silicon vacancy centers incorporated in a nanodiamond to a hemispherical, stable Fabry-Perot microcavity, achieving Purcell-factors larger than 1. We demonstrate coherent optical driving between ground and excited state with a Rabi-frequency of 330 MHz, all-optical initialization and readout of the electron spin in magnetic fields of up to 3.2 T. Spin initialization within 67 ns with a 80 % fidelity and a lifetime of 350 ns are reached. Our demonstration opens the way to realize quantum repeater applications.

description: The impact of ocean-atmosphere coupling and its possible seasonal dependence upon Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model simulations of seven, winter-time cyclone events was investigated. Model simulations were identical aside from the degree of ocean model coupling (static SSTs, 1D mixed-layer model, full-physics 3D ocean model). Both 1D and 3D ocean model coupling simulations show that SSTs following the passage of a nor’easter did tend to cool more strongly during the early season (Oct-Dec) and were more likely to warm late in the season (Feb-Apr). Model simulations produce SST differences of up to 1.14 K, but this change did not lead to significant change in storm track (< 100 km), maximum 10 m winds (< 2 m s -1 ), or minimum sea-level pressure(<= 5 hPa). Simulated precipitation showed little sensitivity to model coupling, but all simulations did tend to over-predict precipitation extent (bias > 1) and have low-to-moderate threat scores (0.31 – 0.59). Analysis of the storm environment and the overall simulation failed to reveal any statistically significant differences in model error attributable to ocean-atmosphere coupling. Despite this result, ocean model coupling can reduce dynamical field error at a single level by up to 20%, and this was slightly greater (1-2%) with 3D ocean model coupling as compared to 1D ocean model coupling. Thus, while 3D ocean model coupling tended to generally produce more realistic simulations, its impact would likely be more profound for longer-term simulations.

description: Aim Regular physical activity and low levels of sedentary time have positive health effects on youth, and data are needed to base public health recommendations on. Here, findings of device-based physical activity and sedentary time in sixth graders are presented. Data below are presented as mean (SD). Subject and methods Three hundred and eight sixth-grade girls [11.6 (0.6) years] from the CReActivity study in Germany wore accelerometers (ActiGraph GT3X) for 7 consecutive days. Moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), light physical activity (LPA), and sedentary time (ST) was obtained during school days with a focus on recess times. Results Girls spent 79.9 (23.2) minutes in MVPA and 9.4 (1.2) hours in ST during schooldays, of which 20.5 (8.2) minutes and 3.8 (0.4) hours respectively were accumulated during school hours. On average, students had 35.4 (4.5) minutes break, of which 6.3 (3.2) minutes (17.8%) were spent in MVPA activity and 16.5 (6.2) minutes (46.6%) in ST. Conclusion School setting is an important factor for physical activity and sedentary time. Therefore policy, curriculums, and school environment should promote physical activity und reduce sedentary time during school hours.

Dieser Entwicklung könnten sich Bibliotheken anschließen und ebenfalls auf eine nachhaltige und unumkehrbare Open-Access-Transformation drängen. Lokale Gestaltungsspielräume gibt es genug. Förderkonditionen von Publikationsfonds und anderen Instrumenten, eigene Erwerbungs- und Finanzierungsentscheidungen, eigene Policies und Verpflichtungen von Autor\*innen der eigenen Institution. Auch Open-Access-Anforderungen von Organisationen, die entweder keine Forschungsförderer sind oder sich aus bestimmten Gründen nicht komplett dem Plan S verpflichten möchten, könnten den Plan-S-Kriterien angeglichen werden. Wie ist Plan S aus institutioneller Sicht zu bewerten? Wie wirkt Plan S über den unmittelbaren Geltungsbereich hinaus? Welche Handlungsmöglichkeiten vor Ort sind davon betroffen? Wie kann man über die Anforderungen hinausgehen, ohne den gemeinsamen Weg zu verlassen? Welche Schwierigkeiten werden gesehen? Welche Rolle kann Plan S in der institutionellen Open-Access-Strategie spielen? Im Vortrag wird auch auf die Änderungen eingegangen, die Plan S im Laufe des letzten Jahres erfahren hat.

description: A new class of magnetic phase-change microencapsulated-nanoparticles fluid (MPCMNF) was produced via dispersing magnetic capsules into deionized water with surfactant. The microcapsules were prepared by in-situ polymerization method to encase phase-change paraffin (PW) into CaCO3 shell with magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The microstructure, and the thermal and magnetic properties of the magnetic capsules were experimentally characterized. It is found that the PW@CaCO3/0.8%Fe3O4 (i.e., 0.8 % mass ratio of Fe3O4 to PW) exhibits the highest thermal performance and encapsulation efficiency among the four mass fractions evaluated, reaching enthalpy of 80.2 ± 2.6 J/g, thermal conductivity of 0.998 ± 0.017 W/(m·K), and encapsulation efficiency of 56.2 ± 1.1 %. The saturation magnetization of the PW@CaCO3/0.8%Fe3O4 is 1.032 ± 0.021 emu/g, indicating an excellent magnetic property. The thermal conductivity, magnetic property, viscosity and density of the MPCMNF with different concentrations of PW@CaCO3/0.8%Fe3O4 have been measured. Results show that the MPCMNF has a dual magnetic and thermal energy storage property, scouting particular applications in fluid flow, heat transfer, and energy storage.

 Enithares malayensis Brooks, 1948; Lansbury, 1968 (redescription); Fernando & Cheng, 1974; Fernando & Leong, 1976; Kovac & Yang, 1990.
 Diagnosis. – Length, male and female 9.0-9.4; width, male and female 3.2-3.6.
Eyes reddish brown to grey, vertex and anterior one third of pronotum brown. Middle third of pronotum yellowish, posteriorly hyaline but appearing darker due to scutellar colour showing through. Scutellum black with a yellowish “V”-shaped area. Hemielytra and hind wings translucent, appearing black over most of dorsum of abdomen, proximal part of membrane black.
Head in dorsal view rounded anteriorly, width of head three times or more anterior width of vertex. Anterior width of vertex twice the synthlipsis. Dorsal margin of pronotal fovea directed straight caudad before turning laterad. Metasternal xiphus as in Fig. 35 ml.
Male. Foretibia curved forward, concave on anterior surface and convex on posterior surface. Inner ventral angle of mesotrochanter with a spur-like projection (Fig. 8). Middle tibia weakly convex along dorsal surface and expanded distally.
 Remarks. – Males are distinguished by the spur-like projection of mesotrochanter (Fig. 8). Females should be recognizable by the shape of the metasternal xiphus combined with size.
 Distribution. – Recorded from the Malay Peninsula: Johor, Kedah, Pahang, Perak, Selangor, Singapore and Indonesia: Riau Archipelago (Fernando & Cheng, 1974; Lansbury, 1968; Kovac & Yang, 1990). In the ZRC there are also samples from Kelantan, Pahang and Terengganu. One male from Pulau Tioman, Ziming, 27 Jul.1996 is an addition to the checklist from this island (Yang et al., 1999). This seems to be the commonest Malayan species. Equally common in streams as in stagnant ponds.

description: 2020 sollte ein großes Open-Access-Jahr werden. Viele Open-Access-Strategien zielten auf dieses Jahr. Unter anderem wollten die EU-Mitglieder 100% Open Access bis 2020 umgesetzt haben, ebenso wie die European University Association. Die Transformationsinitiative OA2020 trägt das Jahr sogar im Namen. Die Realität sieht bekanntlich anders aus. Und die eingeschlagenen Wege überzeugen viele frühe Open-Access-Aktive nicht, weil sie sich sehr von den bottom-up-Ansätzen der ersten Jahre unterscheiden. Ist Open Access unwiederbringlich mutiert, gescheitert oder nur vertagt? Wir versuchen, den Veränderungen der letzten Jahre mit den ursprünglichen Zielen des Open Access zu vergleichen, Erreichtes zu bewerten und Fehlendes einzufordern. Positives kann man durchaus verzeichnen: Viele Förderer haben sich organisiert und Open Access und Open Data zur Pflicht gemacht – auch, weil andere Anreize erfolglos blieben. Es stehen mehr Mittel zur Verfügung für Open Access, Umschichtungen sind gewünscht. Dennoch scheinen zündende Ideen zu fehlen. Viele mittelständische Verlage sind immer noch unvorbereitet auf Open-Access- und sonstige Ansprüche der Förderer. Die Open-Access-Anteile der Zeitschriften und Buchpublikationen steigen nur langsam. Fördergelder und Druckkostenzuschüsse werden ohne Open-Access-Pflicht ausgeschüttet. Währenddessen verstanden es große Verlage, lukrative neue Wege zu beschreiten und ihre Interessen zu schützen.
 2020 wird nicht halten können, was man sich von ihm versprach. Gerade deswegen lohnt es sich, sich die Grundsätze des Open Access nochmals zu vergegenwärtigen, um zu sehen, wie es zu dieser Schieflage kommen konnte. Was können wir aus dem Gedankengut aus Budapest oder Berlin für den nächsten Abschnitt im Open Access mitnehmen? Wie können wir Visionen wieder beleben, ohne in romantischen Utopien zu verharren oderdie erreichten Fortschritte zu negieren?
 Ziel ist es, eine Diskussion darüber anzufachen, welche möglichen Wege aus der jetzigen Misere von überhöhten APCs, Publisher-led-Entwicklungen, fehlender nachhaltiger und ernstzunehmender infrastruktureller Publikationsalternativen und dem noch immer erdrückenden Fokus auf Zeitschriftenartikel herausführen könnten.

description: This article provides a critical review of the past five years of literature in digital humanities pedagogy and faculty-librarian collaboration, commingled with reflections on personal practice, which extend findings from the literature. Faculty-librarian partnerships in DH pedagogy reflect a rapidly evolving area of engagement calling for expertise in teaching, subject knowledge, scholarly communication, digital technologies, and DH research methodologies. Although there is a rapidly expanding body of literature on these partnerships, the challenges of the work tend to be minimized. This article expands upon commonly encountered difficulties, and it points to potential solutions and best practices.
title:  Democrazia e educazione: un’opera ancora viva e attuale. Osservazioni

description: Queste osservazioni mostrano che Democrazia e educazione – pubblicata nel 1916 – è un’opera ancora viva e attuale. Infatti, secondo Dewey il principio democratico è parte essenziale dell’educazione e la democrazia è un’idea pedagogica regolativa. Soprattutto oggi, nella “crisi della democrazia”, essa deve essere integrata col pluralismo culturale, con la critica dei media, con il diritto-ai-diritti e con la metamorfosi della rappresentatività. Tutti temi che possono essere approfonditi, in una prospettiva pedagogica, ri-leggendo, ri-pensando e aggiornando Dewey.

description: What determines the results of encounters between individuals and ideologies? For an ideology to be strongly held, the potential adherent should believe that the agents identified by the ideology are capable of taking the recommended actions, which are consistent with the adherent's moral values, and will result, according to accepted explanatory principles, in outcomes the adherent finds desirable. In consequence, it is proposed that strength of attachment to an ideology is a function of attachment to all of the components.
NCS: Network and Cache Simulator -- An Introduction
Creators: name: Davison, Brian D.
Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 2001

description: NCS (Network and Cache Simulator) is an HTTP trace-driven discrete event simulator of network and caching activity. It is highly parameterized for maximal compatibility with previous caching and network simulations. In granularity, it resides between the high-level caching-only simulators prominant in much Web caching research, and the detailed simulators of networking protocols and traffic. In an effort to capture estimates of user-perceived latency, it simulates simplistic caching and prefetching functionality at various locations in a network comprising of client browsers, an optional intermediate proxy, and Web servers. Caching at the proxy and clients is optional. Additionally, it simulates many aspects of TCP traffic among these entities on a somewhat idealized network. In this report we motivate the development of NCS and describe its features and capabilities. We additionally provide a number of sample experiments showing the simulator’s utility in a variety of contexts.

description: A key limiting factor for the pervasive community has been the difficulty developing and deploying general purpose systems. Such systems should make application development easy, support a wide range of devices and sensors, and allow users to share these resources. Designing a multi-user middleware system that allows novice users to add arbitrary hardware and software raises several challenges, such as resolution between conflicting and stale data, managing data dependencies as software and hardware is changed, and tradeoffs between complexity and expressiveness in the API of such a system. We will discuss the feature set that could solve these problem, and test these features through a software implementation. We then evaluate the system after a year long deployment supporting smart office applications.
