Mirror Mirror: An On Body T shirt Design System
Venue: CHI

Virtual fitting rooms equipped with magic mirrors let people evaluate fashion items without actually putting them on. The mirrors superimpose virtual clothes on the user's reflection. We contribute the Mirror Mirror system, which not only supports mixing and matching of existing fashion items, but also lets users design new items in front of the mirror and export designs to fabric printers. While much of the related work deals with interactive cloth simulation on live user data, we focus on collaborative design activities and explore various ways of designing on the body with a mirror.
The Adaptive Fitting Room

In order to remain attractive and economically viable whilst supplementing online presence, physical stores need to play to their strengths and engage customers in novel ways. Stores have the possibility to act as experimental arenas, where customers can browse apparel through interactive installations and try on products in semi realistic situations. For fashion retailers, however, the average fitting room experience is rarely representative of actual use. The product range is often diverse and varies with seasons, which makes it difficult to create a one experience fits all fitting room. In this paper, we present a concept for a new customer experience. By exploiting automatic single item identification using RFID, we propose a fitting room that adapts to the products that enter the fitting room, using video projection mapping, magic mirrors and screens, lighting and sound. This allows different types of customer engagement prior to the point of purchase, opening up new possibilities for integrating product information, recommendations, clienteling and social media. Some expected benefits are illustrated through a set of user scenarios.
Mobile Banking Adoption: An Exploration of The Behavioural Intention of Consumers in Ireland

The aim of this research study is to identify the salient theoretical frameworks and their underlying constructs that can explain the behavioural intention of the consumer towards mobile banking adoption in Ireland. A conceptual model is formulated and tested based on the constructs identified in the Technology Acceptance Model, Innovation Diffusion Theory which are extended to include perceived risk, perceived trust and self efficacy. The research study employed a quantitative method. An online survey was conducted in Ireland using a snowball sampling technique to collect the data. SPSS was used to analyse the 233 valid responses received. Tests of scale reliability, normality, correlation and multiple linear regression were undertaken to develop a conceptual model which was tested for fit compared to observed results from the survey instrument. Findings of this research indicated that perceived trust, perceived usefulness and compatibility as important influencing factors on consumers' behavioural intention to adopt mobile banking in Ireland. Perceived ease of use, perceived risk and self efficacy were found not to be significant factors influencing consumers' behavioural intention towards mobile banking in Ireland. Finally previous research studies have focused almost entirely on SMS banking in developing nations with no studies found that addressed more developed mobile banking applications available on mobile devices in developed nations, nor has there been a study exploring the reasons for and against mobile banking adoption in an Irish context. This study attempts to address these factors.
Adoption of Mobile Banking Applications in Lebanon

This research studied the impact of mobile banking adaptation in Lebanon. A brief overview of the Lebanese banking sector has shown how it is very dynamic and large. The overview also shows that the Lebanese banking sector is very competitive and changing with the development of new technologies and the availability of new services. To explain mobile banking applications in Lebanon two models were studied in the literature. The first is the innovation diffusion theory which has 5 different constructs: relative advantage, compatibility, communicability, trailability and complexity. The innovation diffusion theory talks about the path innovations take to reach final adopters. The technology acceptance model on the other hand relates the effects of it main components, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, on consumer attitude and intention to adopt. Our model is based on both theories and has 8 constructs. It shows the effect of the 5 constructs of the innovation diffusion theory merging perceived usefulness to relative advantage and replacing complexity with perceived ease of use. We have developed 8 hypotheses based on the construct of the model and to study the user none user effect. A personal administered survey done using convenient sampling managed to gather 315 respondents from 5 different locations in Beirut after administering pilot testing. All variables were tested for validity and reliability using different tests. A biverate linear regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses and establish the relations between the different variables. We also did an independent t test to analyze the user none user effects. It is concluded that this paper with a discussion of the tests and recommending the best way to market mobile banking applications and designing a good version of mobile banking that looks appealing to consumers.
A BIM based Decision Support System Framework for Predictive Maintenance Management of Building Facilities

Facility management (FM) involves multidisciplinary efforts and requires the coordination of different people, properties and processes. Therefore, extensive information of multiple dimensions needs to be stored and managed for FM. Currently, some buildings and facilities are managed manually, while some use databases and automated devices like sensors to capture and manage FM records. However, the current approaches do not fully utilize the collected FM records and provide a user friendly interface for facilitating the operation and maintenance (O&M) of building facilities. Several academic and commercial efforts attempted to leverage building information modeling (BIM) technology to link and visualize FM records, but these efforts are still weak in proactively predicting asset failure, suggesting maintenance schedules and allocating budget for FM. This paper presents a decision support system framework based on BIM for O&M of buildings. The framework consists of three modules: Condition Assessment Module, Failure Prediction Module, and Maintenance Planning and Budget Allocation Module. The Condition Assessment Module manages the facility condition data that are automatically captured by sensor devices as well as collected via inspection and condition survey. Incorporated with failure records and lifetime estimation models, the Failure Prediction Module integrates with the Condition Assessment Module and forecasts component failures. The results provide a basis for predictive maintenance of building facilities. BIM is also leveraged to manage and visualize not only the FM data but also the predictive maintenance results. Since each O&M action has its cost implications, the Maintenance Planning and Budget Allocation Module is included in this proposed framework to help facility managers evaluate cost implications and dynamically adjust maintenance plan.
The effect of task and ego orientation to athletic identity and anti social behavior of students and athletes

The present study examined the affect of task and ego orientation on athletic identity and anti social behavior of students and athletes. A total of 156 students (86 males and 70 females with a mean age of 16,5 years) and 150 athletes (90 males and 60 females with a mean age of 18,5 years) participated at the study. The study was conducted from December 2012 to February 2013 during a basketball school tournament at the premises of Anatolia College for students and during local championships for athletes. TEOSQ (The Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire) by Nicholls (1989) was used for the assessment of goals, the A.I.M.S. (Athletic Identity Measurement Scale) by Brewer et al,(1993 for athletic identity and the questionnaire by M.Kavussanu (pro social and antisocial behavior 2006) was used for antisocial behaviour. All questionnaires have been previously used for similar studies in Greece. Results showed that task and ego orientation as well as identity affect antisocial behavior. Differences among athletes and students were observed only on athletic identity, while regarding the two sexes boys showed higher scores on antisocial behavior and aggression in relation to girls.
On Peer Effects: Contagion of Pro and Anti Social Behavior in Charitable Giving and The Role of Social Identity

Social interactions and the resulting peer effects loom large in both economic and social contexts. This is particularly true for the spillover of pro and anti social behavior in explaining how such behavior and norms spread across individual people, neighborhoods, or even cultures. Although we observe the outcomes of such contagion effects, little is known about the drivers and the underlying mechanisms, especially with respect to the role of social identity with one's peers and the pro and anti sociality of behavior one is exposed to. We use a variant of a power to take dictator game to shed light on these aspects in a controlled laboratory setting. Our experiment contributes to the existing literature in two ways: first, using a novel approach of inducing social identification with one's peers in the lab, our design allows us to analyze the spillover effects of behavior under varied levels of social identity. Second, we study whether pro and anti social behavior are equally contagious. Our results suggest that anti social behavior is more contagious than pro social behavior and that the extent of social identification to one's peers particularly drives the contagion of anti social behavior. Our findings yield strong policy implications with regards to designing effective nudges and interventions to facilitate (reduce) pro (anti social behavior.
What Drives Destruction? On the Malleability of Anti Social Behavior

Many recent experimental studies have shown that some subjects destroy other subjects' incomes without receiving any material benefit, and that they even incur costs to do so. In this paper, we study the boundary conditions of this phenomenon, which is referred to as anti social behavior. We introduce a four player destruction game, in which we vary the framing and the presence of another activity, running in parallel to the destruction game. We observe a substantial amount of destruction in the baseline condition without the parallel activity, and with a framing in the spirit of previous destruction experiments. Our results indicate that a parallel activity as well as a framing emphasizing joint ownership of the item that can be destroyed reduces destruction almost to zero. We therefore argue that the emergence of anti social behavior is highly contingent on the contextual environment.
Improving Productivity by Simulate Facility Layout: A Case Study in a Car Component Manufacturer

Facility layout is an important component of a manufacturer's operations especially in terms of maximizing the effectiveness of the production process. The key of good facility layout is the integration of the needs of people, materials and machinery in such a way that it does create a single well functioning system. An effective layout can help an organization achieve a strategy that supports differentiation, low cost or response while wrong layout planning will lead to lack of space in key areas, poor placement of key activities, excessive material handling and increased operating costs. In this case study, ARENA software has been used to simulate the production time requires in completing the assembly process. Several options from relayout activities have been tested in order to find the best outcomes that can optimize the output, since the existing layout creates lots of wastes. The result shows the productivity increase from 68.2% to 81.5% and production efficiency also rises by 20% Simulators are able to provide the organization with practical feedback and determine the correctness of a design before any improvement activities is actually take place.
Refugee experiences of individual basic body awareness therapy and the level of transference into daily life. An interview study.
Venue: Journal of bodywork and movement therapies

The aim of the study was to investigate refugee experiences of individual Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) and the level of transference into daily life.  Qualitative research using semi structured interviews. Malterud's version of Giorgi's 4 step analysis was used to analyse the data.  Three traumatised refugees with PTSD who had completed 14 20 individual BBAT sessions.  The participants experienced the movements in BBAT as small and simple with big effects. BBAT was found to relieve pain and tension, bring peace of mind and body, and make it easier to sleep. Regular practice was necessary, as were instructions from a physiotherapist, to get the effect from BBAT. Positive changes in the contact to oneself and others were experienced and new coping strategies were developed.  Traumatised refugees experienced positive effects from BBAT and transference into daily life was experienced to a great extent.
Visual Analytics for Fraud Detection: Focusing on Profile Analysis
Venue: EuroVis

Financial institutions are always interested in ensuring security and quality for their customers. Banks, for instance, need to identify and avoid harmful transactions. In order to detect fraudulent operations, data mining techniques based on customer profile generation and verification are commonly used. However, these approaches are not supported by Visual Analytics techniques yet. We propose a Visual Analytics approach for supporting and fine tuning profile analysis and reducing false positive alarms.
Theorists and Techniques: Connecting Education Theories to Lamaze Teaching Techniques
Venue: The Journal of Perinatal Education

Should childbirth educators connect education theory to technique? Is there more to learning about theorists than memorizing facts for an assessment? Are childbirth educators uniquely poised to glean wisdom from theorists and enhance their classes with interactive techniques inspiring participant knowledge and empowerment? Yes, yes, and yes. This article will explore how an awareness of education theory can enhance retention of material through interactive learning techniques. Lamaze International childbirth classes already prepare participants for the childbearing year by using positive group dynamics; theory will empower childbirth educators to address education through well studied avenues. Childbirth educators can provide evidence based learning techniques in their classes and create true behavioral change.
Improved model for interfacial stresses accounting for the effect of shear deformation in plated beams

A significant increase in strength and performance of reinforced concrete, timber and metal beams may be achieved by adhesively bonding a fibre reinforced polymer composite, or metallic such as steel plate to the tension face of a beam. One of the major failure modes in these plated beams is the debonding of the plate from the original beam in a brittle manner. This is commonly attributed to the interfacial stresses between the adherends whose quantification has led to the development of many analytical solutions over the last two decades. The adherends are subjected to axial, bending and shear deformations. However, most analytical solutions have neglected the effect of shear deformation in adherends. Few solutions consider this effect approximately but are limited to one or two specific loading conditions. This paper presents a more rigorous solution for interfacial stresses in plated beams under an arbitrary loading with the shear deformation of the adherends duly considered in closed form using Timoshenko's beam theory. The solution is general to linear elastic analysis of prismatic beams of arbitrary cross section under arbitrary loading with a plate of any thickness bonded either symmetrically or asymmetrically with respect to the span of the beam.
A guide to convolution arithmetic for deep learning
Venue: ArXiv

We introduce a guide to help deep learning practitioners understand and manipulate convolutional neural network architectures. The guide clarifies the relationship between various properties (input shape, kernel shape, zero padding, strides and output shape) of convolutional, pooling and transposed convolutional layers, as well as the relationship between convolutional and transposed convolutional layers. Relationships are derived for various cases, and are illustrated in order to make them intuitive.
Religious Fragmentation, Social Identity and Conflict: Evidence from an Artefactual Field Experiment in India
Venue: PloS one

We examine the impact of religious identity and village level religious fragmentation on behavior in Tullock contests. We report on a series of two player Tullock contest experiments conducted on a sample of 516 Hindu and Muslim participants in rural West Bengal, India. Our treatments are the identity of the two players and the degree of religious fragmentation in the village where subjects reside. Our main finding is that the effect of social identity is small and inconsistent across the two religious groups in our study. While we find small but statistically significant results in line with our hypotheses in the Hindu sample, we find no statistically significant effects in the Muslim sample. This is in contrast to evidence from Chakravarty et al. (2016) who report significant differences in cooperation levels in prisoners' dilemma and stag hunt games, both in terms of village composition and identity. We attribute this to the fact that social identity may have a more powerful effect on cooperation than on conflict.
Social identity and governance: The behavioral response to female leaders

This paper uses data from artefactual field experiments and surveys conducted in 61 villages in India to examine whether men and women respond differently to women as leaders. We investigate the extent to which behavior towards female leaders is influenced by experience with women in leadership positions. We find evidence of significant male backlash against female leaders, which can be attributed to the transgression of social norms and in particular, a violation of male identity, when women are assigned to positions of leadership through gender based quotas. Increased exposure to female leaders reduces the extent of bias.
Association of RNA Biosignatures With Bacterial Infections in Febrile Infants Aged 60 Days or Younger.
Venue: JAMA

Young febrile infants are at substantial risk of serious bacterial infections; however, the current culture based diagnosis has limitations. Analysis of host expression patterns "RNA biosignatures" in response to infections may provide an alternative diagnostic approach.  To assess whether RNA biosignatures can distinguish febrile infants aged 60 days or younger with and without serious bacterial infections.  Prospective observational study involving a convenience sample of febrile infants 60 days or younger evaluated for fever (temperature >38deg C) in 22 emergency departments from December 2008 to December 2010 who underwent laboratory evaluations including blood cultures. A random sample of infants with and without bacterial infections was selected for RNA biosignature analysis. Afebrile healthy infants served as controls. Blood samples were collected for cultures and RNA biosignatures. Bioinformatics tools were applied to define RNA biosignatures to classify febrile infants by infection type. EXPOSURE RNA biosignatures compared with cultures for discriminating febrile infants with and without bacterial infections and infants with bacteremia from those without bacterial infections.  Bacterial infection confirmed by culture. Performance of RNA biosignatures was compared with routine laboratory screening tests and Yale Observation Scale (YOS) scores.  Of 1883 febrile infants (median age, 37 days; 55.7% boys) RNA biosignatures were measured in 279 randomly selected infants (89 with bacterial infections including 32 with bacteremia and 15 with urinary tract infections and 190 without bacterial infections) and 19 afebrile healthy infants. Sixty six classifier genes were identified that distinguished infants with and without bacterial infections in the test set with 87% (95% CI, 73% 95% sensitivity and 89% (95% CI, 81% 93% specificity. Ten classifier genes distinguished infants with bacteremia from those without bacterial infections in the test set with 94% (95% CI, 70% 100% sensitivity and 95% (95% CI, 88% 98% specificity. The incremental C statistic for the RNA biosignatures over the YOS score was 0.37 (95% CI, 0.30 0.43)  In this preliminary study, RNA biosignatures were defined to distinguish febrile infants aged 60 days or younger with vs without bacterial infections. Further research with larger populations is needed to refine and validate the estimates of test accuracy and to assess the clinical utility of RNA biosignatures in practice.
