description: Concomitantemente ao aumento do número de pessoas idosas a nível mundial, grandes avanços têm surgido no mundo tecnológico, o que revolucionou o desenvolvimento de soluções que suportam as vivências, em várias dimensões, destes indivíduos. Este artigo apresenta de forma detalhada todas as etapas inerentes ao processo de desenvolvimento de uma plataforma de televisão interativa com o propósito enviar informação relevante sobre serviços públicos e sociais aos seniores portugueses, através de um meio comunicacional que lhes é familiar. Para promover a aceitação desta tecnologia que visa aumentar os graus de autonomia, independência e qualidade de vida das pessoas idosas e, de modo a potenciar maior adoção por parte do público-alvo, adotou-se um processo que considera as opiniões e necessidades de potenciais utilizadores finais, integrando os contributos recolhidos. Este processo tem um papel fundamental na promoção de altos graus de usabilidade e facilidade de utilização dos produtos ou serviços desenvolvidos. Pretende-se com este trabalho divulgar algumas das considerações e dificuldades encontradas ao longo do processo de desenvolvimento de soluções tecnológicas com a colaboração dos idosos, para que outros investigadores possam aceder a linhas orientadoras em futuros projetos.

description: This article presents the potential of the extraction and visualization data in Social Networks for the field of Journalism. The role of people's participation in networks emphasizes and praises facts that have been published in the media. We used Social Network Analysis (SNA) as a methodology to identify alternative metrics or "altmetrics" in a case study involving news about the death of the Rector of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC - Brazil), Luiz Carlos Cancelier. We applied the cloud based tool Netlytic to retrieve a volume of comments made on Twitter after the Rector's death, from 2017-11-28 to 2018-01-02. The analysis has two variables, the first one in the Social Network environment and the second focused on the people participating on it. Results indicated an interesting connection between SNA and the journalistic area, as an instrument to verify the impact of news and the engagement of the public commenting or sharing it.

description: This article examines the relationship of university students with television and online video content. Convergence processes in many areas during the digital age have significantly changed both audiovisual content consumption patterns and the content on offer itself. In addition, Web 2.0 has made it possible for interaction to go beyond mere consumption. The purpose of this research study was to ascertain what kind of interaction takes place between young people and audiovisual content. The categories analyzed are watch, share and create, with a focus on students’ everyday life. A mixed-method approach was used across a sample of 475 students from Mondragon University. Our main finding is that, although young people have the resources necessary to interact with media, this condition is not sufficient to favor behaviors that are more active. Young people show different practices and attitudes depending on the individual, the content, and the context but, in general, the interactive patterns that they have with television and online video content have more links with the mass communication paradigm than with the new communicative paradigm that arose in the Web 2.0 era.

description: We study the relationship between the null geodesics and thermodynamic phase transition for the charged AdS black hole. In the reduced parameter space, we find that there exist non-monotonic behaviors of the photon sphere radius and the minimum impact parameter for the pressure below its critical value. The study also shows that the changes of the photon sphere radius and the minimum impact parameter can serve as order parameters for the small-large black hole phase transition. In particular, these changes have an universal exponent of $\frac{1}{2}$ near the critical point for any dimension $d$ of spacetime. These results imply that there may exist universal critical behavior of gravity near the thermodynamic critical point of the black hole system.

description: A procedure is developed for using Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) to generate fully exclusive events, which can then be compared to data from collider experiments. We show that SCET smoothly interpolates between QCD for hard emissions, and the parton shower for soft emissions, while resumming all large logarithms. In SCET, logarithms are resummed using the renormalization group, instead of classical Sudakov factors, so subleading logarithms can be resummed as well. In addition, all loop effects of QCD can be reproduced in SCET, which allows the effective theory to incorporate next-to-leading and higher-order effects. We also show through SCET that in the soft/collinear limit, successive branchings factorize, a fact which is essential to parton showers, and that the splitting functions of QCD are reproduced. Finally, combining these results, we present a example of an algorithm that incorporates the SCET results into an event generator which is systematically improvable.

description: In the United States, over three billion dollars are spent due to office equipment being left on when not in use during the weekend and at night. There is very little incentive for office workers to save energy because utility bills are not directly their responsibility. Our goal is to find ways to reduce the negative impact of this pervasive phenomenon by applying persuasive technologies to create awareness and encourage office workers towards more environmentally sustainable behavior. To this end, we conducted a literature review to investigate the persuasive methods appropriate to the field of building controls. We then proceeded to develop "dashboard-controllers" that enable office workers to control energy-using components with expert feedback to save energy.

description: Neste artigo, consideramos que o contexto mediático e informacional atual constitui por si só um ambiente importante e a ter em conta na forma como os cidadãos se posicionam e protegem face às notícias falsas. Neste sentido, apresentamos uma base teórica e crítica da qual nos socorremos para pensar e implementar um projeto Europeu de educação para os media (Media In Action), no âmbito do qual está a ser preparada uma ação de formação para professores. Esta formação tem como objetivo contribuir para que professores e alunos possam usufruir de maiores capacidades para compreenderem e atuarem no atual ecossistema mediático. Refletimos sobre algumas questões, como quais as melhores metodologias para atuar no âmbito escolar e qual o papel dinâmico que o digital storytelling pode ter no trabalho com crianças e jovens. Apontamos para a necessidade de trabalharmos com metodologias dinâmicas e participativas e ainda para o cruzamento do digital storytelling com as ferramentas mais ligadas ao jornalismo.

description: High-energy-density electron-positron pair plasma production and its dynamics in a thin foil illuminated by two counter-propagating laser pulses are investigated through multi-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. We compare the production of electron-positron pairs and gamma-photons via quantum electrodynamics processes in the relativistic transparent and opaque regimes, and find that the target transparency can significantly enhance the electron-positron pair production due to the formation of stable standing wave (SW). An optimum foil density of 200 - 280 n_c (n_c is the laser critical density) is found for enhancing electron-positron pair production when laser intensity reaches a few 10e23 W/cm2. At such foil density, laser energy conversion to electron-positron pairs is approximately four times higher than at foil density of 710n_c, whereas laser energy conversion to gamma-photons keeps almost the same. Consequently, high dense electron-positron plasma with a maximum intensity above 10e20 W/cm2 is produced. Modulation dynamics of created pair plasmas is further observed when target foil becomes transparent. It is shown that stable SWs formed directly by two counter-propagating lasers, not only trap the created electron-positron pairs to their nodes, but also modulate periodically average energy and phase-space and angular distributions of trapped particles. However, similar trapping and modulation effects become obscure in the opaque regime due to the absence of stable SW field.

description: The supergiant fast X-ray transient IGR J08408-4503 was discovered by INTEGRAL on May 15, 2006, during a bright flare. The source shows sporadic recurrent short bright flares, reaching a peak luminosity of 10^36 erg s^-1 within less than one hour. The companion star is HD 74194, an Ob5Ib(f) supergiant star located at 3 kpc in the Vela region. We report the light curves and broad-band spectra (0.1-200 keV) of all the three flares of IGR J08408-4503 detected up to now based on INTEGRAL and Swift data. The flare spectra are well described by a power-law model with a high energy cut-off at ~15 keV. The absorption column density during the flares was found to be ~10^21 cm^-2, indicating a very low matter density around the compact object. Using the supergiant donor star parameters, the wind accretion conditions imply an orbital period of the order of one year, a spin period of the order of hours and a magnetic field of the order of 10^13 G.

description: Agriculture, characterised by low productivity and dominated by small-scale cereal farmers constitutes the backbone of developing countries’ economy. Use of agricultural inputs permits the increase of the yield and hence productivity. However, use of such farm inputs relies heavily on the availability of information. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) play a vital role in the dissemination of agricultural input information. Nevertheless, use of ICT-based farm input information is related to certain conditions such as farmers’ peer influence. This influence was investigated, and its effect on the use of ICTs for more access and use of agricultural input information was identified. We gathered from 300 respondents in Sikasso, Mali. The results showed that farmers’ peer influence explained 80.2% of use ICT-based farm input information. From these results, it is important to take this influence as the main factor determining the utilisation of ICT-based farm input information in the cereal production context.

description: The light-front distribution amplitudes (LFDAs) and the decay constant of the $K $ pseudoscalar meson are extracted within the framework of the AdS/QCD correspondence. For the LFDAs calculation, we consider a momentum-dependent (dynamical) helicity wave function which contains the dynamical spin effects. We use the LFDAs to predict the transition form factors of the semileptonic $B\to K \ell^{+}\ell^{-}$ decay. With the help of these form factors, the differential branching ratio of the $B\to K\, μ^+ μ^-$ on $q^2$ is plotted. A comparison is made between our prediction in AdS/QCD and the results obtained from two models including the light-cons sum rules (LCSR) and lattice QCD as well as the experimental values.

description: In vision science, cascades of Linear+Nonlinear transforms are very successful in modeling a number of perceptual experiences [Carandini&Heeger12]. However, the conventional literature is usually too focused on only describing the input->output transform. Instead, here we present the maths of such cascades beyond the forward transform, namely the Jacobians and the inverse. The fundamental reason for this analytical treatment is that it offers useful insight into the psychophysics, the physiology, and the function of the visual system. For instance, we show how the trends of the sensitivity (discrimination regions) and the adaptation of the receptive fields can be seen in the expression of the Jacobian wrt the stimulus. This matrix also tells us which regions of the stimulus space are encoded more efficiently in multi-information terms. The Jacobian wrt the parameters shows which aspects of the model have bigger impact in the response, and hence bigger relevance. The analytic inverse implies conditions for the response and the model to ensure decoding. From an applied perspective, (a) the Jacobian wrt the stimulus is necessary in new experimental methods based on the synthesis of visual stimuli with interesting geometry, (b) the Jacobian matrices wrt the parameters are convenient to learn the model from classical experiments or alternative optimization goals, and (c) the inverse is a model-based alternative to blind machine-learning neural decoding that does not include meaningful biological information. The theory is checked by building a derivable and invertible vision model that actually follows the modular program suggested by Carandini&Heeger. To stress the generality of this modular setting we show examples where some of the canonical Divisive Normalization layers are substituted by equivalent layers such as the Wilson-Cowan model at V1, or a tone-mapping model at the retina.

description: One of the most dramatic consequences of low-scale (~1 TeV) quantum gravity in models with large or warped extra dimension(s) is copious production of mini black holes at future colliders and in ultra-high-energy cosmic ray collisions. Hawking radiation of these black holes is expected to be constrained mainly to our three-dimensional world and results in rich phenomenology. In this topical review we discuss the current status of astrophysical observations of black holes and selected aspects of mini black hole phenomenology, such as production at colliders and in cosmic rays, black hole decay properties, Hawking radiation as a sensitive probe of the dimensionality of extra space, as well as an exciting possibility of finding new physics in the decays of black holes.

description: Moringa leaves have so many benefits and are a medicinal plant that has benefits from various aspects and also various uses that are used by the community. The question in this article is: How do moringa leaves function in terms of health and social aspects? The method used is a qualitative method using a literature study. The results of the study found that moringa leaves have such great health benefits that it is proven that many diseases can be cured by consuming moringa leaves, and it also turns out that moringa leaves can also provide prevention from disease. Apart from that, moringa leaves have benefits in terms of public health aspects, namely social aspects, and also existing community aspects because moringa leaves are part of society and have been integrated into society. Health aspects, social aspects, and community aspects are important for moringa leaves and are an important part of the function and benefits of moringa leaves. What is inside moringa leaves has ethnic and regional philosophy and meaning, which is called social and cultural meaning. Moringa leaves are also related to the development of good products for the development of moringa leaves as a food source, which is related to the good nutritional aspects of moringa leaves. And one thing that is also important is the aspect of preserving moringa leaves by developing the use of moringa leaves.

description: We thoroughly discuss a new supersymmetric grand unified scenario of the triplet seesaw mechanism where the exchange of heavy SU(2)_W triplet states generates both neutrino masses and soft supersymmetry breaking terms. This framework, recently proposed by us in a previous work, is highly predictive since it contains only three free parameters connecting low-energy neutrino parameters, lepton and quark flavour violation, sparticle and Higgs boson spectra and electroweak symmetry breakdown. These three parameters are the triplet mass M_T, the effective supersymmetry breaking scale B_T and a coupling constant lambda. We perform a complete analysis of the parameter space taking into account the present experimental constraints and considering different types of neutrino spectrum. A special emphasis is given to the particular features of the sparticle and Higgs spectra and to the model independent predictions obtained for the processes mu-> e X, mu-> e conversion in nuclei, tau-> e Y and tau-> mu Y (X = gamma, e e, Y= gamma, e e, mu mu). In the appendices, we present some technical aspects relevant for our analysis.

description: Change of sign of the LNRF-velocity gradient has been found for accretion discs orbiting rapidly rotating Kerr black holes with spin a > 0.9953 for Keplerian discs and a > 0.99979 for marginally stable thick discs. Aschenbach (2004) has identified the maximal rate of change of the orbital velocity within the "humpy" profile with a locally defined critical frequency of disc oscillations, but it has been done in a coordinate-dependent form. We define the critical "humpy" frequency H in general relativistic, coordinate independent form, and relate the frequency defined in the LNRF to distant observers. At radius of its definition, so-called "humpy" radius r_h, the "humpy" frequency H is compared to the radial (R) and vertical (V) epicyclic frequencies and the orbital frequency of the disc. For Keplerian thin discs, we show that the epicyclic resonance radii r_31 and r_41 (with V:R = 3:1 or 4:1) are located in vicinity of r_h where efficient triggering of oscillations with frequencies ~ H could be expected. Asymptotically (for 1-a < 10^(-4)) the ratio of the epicyclic and Keplerian frequencies and the humpy frequency is nearly constant, i.e., almost independent of spin, being for the radial epicyclic frequency R:H ~ 3:2. For thick discs the situation is more complex due to dependence on distribution of the specific angular momentum l determining the disc properties. For l = const tori and 1-a < 10^(-6) the frequency ratios of the humpy frequency and the orbital and epicyclic frequencies are again nearly constant and independent of both a and l, being for the radial epicyclic frequency R:H close to 4. In the limiting case of very slender tori (l ~ l_ms) the epicyclic resonance radius r_41 ~ r_h for spin 1-a < 2x10^(-4).

description: ${\bf Background:}$ Weakly bound and unbound nuclear states appearing around particle thresholds are prototypical open quantum systems. Theories of such states must take into account configuration mixing effects in the presence of strong coupling to the particle continuum space. ${\bf Purpose:}$ To describe structure and decays of three-body systems, we developed a Gamow coupled-channel (GCC) approach in Jacobi coordinates by employing the complex-momentum formalism. We benchmarked the new framework against the complex-energy Gamow Shell Model (GSM). ${\bf Methods:}$ The GCC formalism is expressed in Jacobi coordinates, so that the center-of-mass motion is automatically eliminated. To solve the coupled-channel equations, we use hyperspherical harmonics to describe the angular wave functions while the radial wave functions are expanded in the Berggren ensemble, which includes bound, scattering and Gamow states. ${\bf Results:}$ We show that the GCC method is both accurate and robust. Its results for energies, decay widths, and nucleon-nucleon angular correlations are in good agreement with the GSM results. ${\bf Conclusions:}$ We have demonstrated that a three-body GSM formalism explicitly constructed in cluster-orbital shell model coordinates provides similar results to a GCC framework expressed in Jacobi coordinates, provided that a large configuration space is employed. Our calculations for $A=6$ systems and $^{26}$O show that nucleon-nucleon angular correlations are sensitive to the valence-neutron interaction. The new GCC technique has many attractive features when applied to bound and unbound states of three-body systems: it is precise, efficient, and can be extended by introducing a microscopic model of the core.

description: It was argued recently that loop corrections to tree-level amplitudes are essential in the discussion of the collisional energy loss of energetic partons in the hot quark gluon plasma: Instead of $dE_{\rm coll}^B/dx \sim α^2 T^2 \ln(ET/m_D^2)$, as first derived by Bjorken (assuming a constant $α$), the mean energy loss actually behaves as $dE_{\rm coll}/dx \sim α(m_D^2)T^2$. Here we calculate, within this resummation-improved framework, the probability distribution functions (`quenching weights') of the collisional energy loss. First results from a Monte Carlo implementation of this probabilistic collisional quenching shed new light on the interpretation of jet suppression in heavy ion collisions.

description: Based on an extensive spectral study of a photometrically confirmed sample of Mira variables, we find a relationship between relative Balmer emission-line strength and spectral temperature of O-rich Mira stars. The $F_{\rm Hδ}/F_{\rm Hγ}$ flux ratio increases from less than unity to five as stars cool down from M0 to M10, which is likely driven by increasing TiO absorption above the deepest shock-emitting regions. We also discuss the relationship between the equivalent widths of the Balmer emission lines and the photometric luminosity phase of our Mira sample stars. Using our 291 Mira spectra as templates for reference, 191 Mira candidates are newly identified from the LAMOST DR4 catalog. We summarize the criteria adopted to select Mira candidates based on emission-line indices and molecular absorption bands. This enlarged spectral sample of Mira variables has the potential to contribute significantly to our knowledge of the optical properties of Mira stars and will facilitate further studies of these late-type, long-period variables.

description: China has a history that is documented over four thousand years with a rich cultural tradition and a large land mass. From archeological evidence, Chinese traditional architecture may be traced back at least seven thousand years[14]. The Chinese nation is made up of over fifty different nationalities. Despite this rich history and marked diversity of architecture in the various regions in China, Chinese traditional buildings are highly grammatical. Architectural historians have classified Chinese traditional architecture, along geographically determined boundaries, into several categories, for example, the Northern style, the Southern style, and so on. These different styles share some basic characteristics. Wong and Chung[18]identify continuity, uniqueness of style, and diversity in architectural design as the three fundamental characteristics; according to them, traditional architecture in China has managed to follow an unbroken line of development. Based on the needs of the people, and assimilating beneficial experiences and influences from various source, it has evolved independently with its own tenor from beginning to end. It is this very continuity, independence and adaptability that constitute the characteristics of the classical traditional. A parametric shape grammar[15, 16]for the Southern style of Chinese traditional dwellings has been presented in [3]. In this paper we outline some of the considerations for developing a grammar of Chinese architecture ranging from orientation to a framework of spatial organization that exemplifies axial planning and modular design and concluding with a description of some of the main rules of composition

description: Multi-atlas segmentation approach is one of the most widely-used image segmentation techniques in biomedical applications. There are two major challenges in this category of methods, i.e., atlas selection and label fusion. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-atlas segmentation method that formulates multi-atlas segmentation in a deep learning framework for better solving these challenges. The proposed method, dubbed deep fusion net (DFN), is a deep architecture that integrates a feature extraction subnet and a non-local patch-based label fusion (NL-PLF) subnet in a single network. The network parameters are learned by end-to-end training for automatically learning deep features that enable optimal performance in a NL-PLF framework. The learned deep features are further utilized in defining a similarity measure for atlas selection. By evaluating on two public cardiac MR datasets of SATA-13 and LV-09 for left ventricle segmentation, our approach achieved 0.833 in averaged Dice metric (ADM) on SATA-13 dataset and 0.95 in ADM for epicardium segmentation on LV-09 dataset, comparing favorably with the other automatic left ventricle segmentation methods. We also tested our approach on Cardiac Atlas Project (CAP) testing set of MICCAI 2013 SATA Segmentation Challenge, and our method achieved 0.815 in ADM, ranking highest at the time of writing.

description: Taiwanese traditional architecture has been classified as belonging to the Southern style of Chinese architecture. Owing to geographical and climatic conditions, and to its own history, Taiwanese architecture has diversified from mainstream Chinese architecture. This diversification has given rise to styles of buildings that were (and are) quite distinct from their Chinese origin. The authors begin with a comparison of Taiwanese and Chinese traditional architectures highlighting their differences. The authors go on to describe the different systems used for measuring key dimensions in Taiwanese traditional buildings, and the procedure for their determination.

description: Random number generation is crucial in many aspects of everyday life, as online security and privacy depend ultimately on the quality of random numbers. Many current implementations are based on pseudo-random number generators, but information security requires true random numbers for sensitive applications like key generation in banking, defence or even social media. True random number generators are systems whose outputs cannot be determined, even if their internal structure and response history are known. Sources of quantum noise are thus ideal for this application due to their intrinsic uncertainty. In this work, we propose using resonant tunnelling diodes as practical true random number generators based on a quantum mechanical effect. The output of the proposed devices can be directly used as a random stream of bits or can be further distilled using randomness extraction algorithms, depending on the application.

description: We investigate how current and proposed observations of neutron stars can lead to an understanding of the state of their interiors and the key unknowns: the typical neutron star radius and the neutron star maximum mass. A theoretical analysis of neutron star structure, including general relativistic limits to mass, compactness, and spin rates is made. We consider observations made not only with photons, ranging from radio waves to X-rays, but also those involving neutrinos and gravity waves. We detail how precision determinations of structural properties would lead to significant restrictions on the poorly understood equation of state near and beyond the equilibrium density of nuclear matter.

description: Shan-Chen model is a numerical scheme to simulate multiphase fluid flows using Lattice Boltzmann approach. The original Shan-Chen model suffers from inability to accurately predict behavior of air bubbles interacting in a non-aqueous fluid. In the present study, we extended the Shan-Chen model to take the effect of the attraction-repulsion barriers among bubbles in to account. The proposed model corrects the interaction and coalescence criterion of the original Shan-Chen scheme in order to have a more accurate simulation of bubbles morphology in a metal foam. The model is based on forming a thin film (narrow channel) between merging bubbles during growth. Rupturing of the film occurs when an oscillation in velocity and pressure arises inside the channel followed by merging of the bubbles. Comparing numerical results obtained from proposed model with mettallorgraphy images for aluminum A356 demonstrated a good consistency in mean bubble size and bubbles distribution
