Web based visualization for 3D data in archaeology: The ADS 3D viewer

The solid geometry of archaeological deposits is fundamental to the interpretation of their chronological sequence. However, such stratigraphic sequences are generally viewed as static two dimensional diagrammatic representations which are difficult to manipulate or to relate to real layers. The ADS 3D Viewer is a web based resource for the management and analysis of archaeological data. The viewer was developed to take advantage of recent developments in web technology, namely the adoption of WebGL (Web Graphics Library) by current web browsers. The ADS 3D Viewer combines the potential of the 3D Heritage Online Presenter (3DHOP) a software package for the web based visualization of 3D geometries, with the infrastructure of the Archaeology Data Service (ADS) repository, in the attempt to create a platform for the visualization and analysis of 3D data archived by the ADS. Two versions of the viewer have been developed to answer the needs of different users. The first version, the Object Level 3D Viewer was implemented to extend the browsing capability of ADS project archives by enabling the visualization of single 3D models. The second version, the Stratigraphy 3D Viewer is an extension which allows the exploration of a specific kind of aggregated data: the multiple layers of an archaeological stratigraphic sequence. This allows those unable to participate directly in the fieldwork to access, analyse and re interpret the archaeological context remotely. This has the potential to transform the discipline, allowing inter disciplinary, cross border and 'at distance' collaborative workflows, and enabling easier access to and analysis of archaeological data.
Traffic models and traveler benefit calculation in cost benefit analysis [Modeles de trafic et evaluation des avantages dans le calcul economique]

Transport infrastructure projects are based on ex ante cost benefit analysis. Traveler surplus often represent a large part of a project's global benefit. The assessment of these traveler benefits, or surplus, as recommended in official French guidelines, is based on average benefits for a project. But in fact, benefits are widely distributed among individual travelers and discreet choice models enable us to have access to this distribution. The aim of this paper is to show that using the surplus given by discreet choice models leads to higher amounts of benefits compared to "classical" methods when the project has a high cost for users. The example of tolled highways is simulated in the paper. Pros and cons of the different methods are given before suggesting recommendations.
Hybrid soft computing approaches to content based video retrieval: A brief review
Venue: Appl. Soft Comput.

Graphical abstractDisplay Omitted There has been an unrestrained growth of videos on the Internet due to proliferation of multimedia devices. These videos are mostly stored in unstructured repositories which pose enormous challenges for the task of both image and video retrieval. Users aim to retrieve videos of interest having content which is relevant to their need. Traditionally, low level visual features have been used for content based video retrieval (CBVR) Consequently, a gap existed between these low level features and the high level semantic content. The semantic differential was partially bridged by proliferation of research on interest point detectors and descriptors, which represented mid level features of the content. The computational time and human interaction involved in the classical approaches for CBVR are quite cumbersome. In order to increase the accuracy, efficiency and effectiveness of the retrieval process, researchers resorted to soft computing paradigms. The entire retrieval task was automated to a great extent using individual soft computing components. Due to voluminous growth in the size of multimedia databases, augmented by an exponential rise in the number of users, integration of two or more soft computing techniques was desirable for enhanced efficiency and accuracy of the retrieval process. The hybrid approaches serve to enhance the overall performance and robustness of the system with reduced human interference. This article is targeted to focus on the relevant hybrid soft computing techniques which are in practice for content based image and video retrieval.
A survey on Human action recognition from videos
Venue: 2016 Online International Conference on Green Engineering and Technologies (IC GET)

Human action recognition is a way of retrieving videos emerged from Content Based Video Retrieval (CBVR).It is a growing area of research in the field of computer vision nowadays. Human action recognition has gained popularity because of its wide applicability in automatic retrieval of videos of particular action using visual features. The most common stages for action recognition includes: object and human segmentation, feature extraction, activity detection and classification. This paper describes the application and challenges of human action recognition. Features and limitations of various methods for human action recognition are discussed. This paper introduces survey on different types of actions like single person action recognition, two person or person object interaction and multiple people action recognition.
The European Union as a diplomatic actor

The major aim of the volume is to scrutinise the scope, character and impact of the European Union as a diplomatic actor. The contributors focus on the processes, policies and outcomes of the EU across key foreign policy fields in the post Lisbon era, such as security, human rights, trade, finance and environmental politics. They provide a comprehensive examination of institutional developments and the EU's responses to internal and external challenges in the context of international politics and global diplomacy. Part 1 of the book comprises a set of authoritatively written chapters on the main capacities, each written by a team of well known experts. These alone are worth the price of the book and would enhance many an undergraduate reading list. Part 2 examines how the capacities are deployed across a range of policy areas, such as the environment, the welfare state and infrastructure. The chapters in Part 3 then explore how policy making activities that go beyond states (i.e. interand transnational) extend, expand, reduce and/or undermine state capacities. For an edited collection, the coherence of the whole volume is strong but there are a few loose ends. For example, Chapter 6 'management capacity' appears to add a fifth capacity to the four listed in Chapter 1. The policy challenges covered in Part 2 do not map onto the ones introduced in Chapter 1. And more could have been done in Chapter 1 to introduce and problematize the (intriguing) themes that eventually emerge in Part 3. Given the identity of the editors and contributors, it is hardly a surprise to learn that the book concludes that the state is and will continue to be hugely important in modern life. If that headline finding is not particularly earth shattering, the fine detail most certainly is thought provoking and worthy of further exploration. For example, in their concluding chapter the editors discuss how states are being simultaneously hollowed out and filled in; that administrative capacities are highly differentiated; that mixing and matching them is important but fiendishly difficult; and that policy makers should resist the temptation to think in terms of single rather than holistic solutions. I hope that this book stimulates academics and practitioners to think more deeply about what the state can and cannot be legitimately expected to deliver in these most uncertain of times.
Hand Fractures: Indications, the Tried and True and New Innovations.
Venue: The Journal of hand surgery

Hand fractures are the second most common fracture of the upper extremity, and management of patients with these injuries is common for most hand surgery practices. In this article, we outline the principles of management of these injuries with a special focus on those that are common or complex. We also highlight recent innovations in the context of these injuries. From this cross section of contemporary evidence on phalangeal and metacarpal fracture treatment, we have noted a trend toward minimally invasive surgery with immediate postoperative mobilization, the use of wide awake anesthesia, as well as sustained investigation and innovation in the biomechanics and treatment of proximal interphalangeal joint fracture dislocations.
Discrete element simulation of dynamic semi circular bend flexure tests of rocks using split Hopkinson pressure bar
Venue: Arabian Journal of Geosciences

The semi circular bending (SCB) using a split Hopkinson pressure bar system appears to be a promising method for measuring dynamic flexural strength of rock materials due to its distinct advantages. The quasi static analysis is adopted for determining the dynamic flexural strength, of which several vital prerequisites have not been thoroughly examined yet. In this study, dynamic flexure tests regarding dynamic force equilibrium, interfacial friction effects, and energy partitioning are numerically investigated based on discrete element method (DEM) modeling. Results show that by virtue of the ramped wave loading, the force equilibrium of the specimen can be effectively achieved and the rupture is precisely measured to synchronize with the peak force, both of which guarantee the quasi static data reduction method employed to determine the dynamic flexural strength; while the opposite occurs for the test under a rectangular wave loading. Furthermore, dynamic flexural strengths obtained by the numerical SCB tests exhibit approximately linear rate dependence that is identical with the experimental results. The interfacial friction, which is found to significantly influence the measuring results for rather high loading rates, contributes to enhancing the rate dependence of flexural strength and must be taken into account in dynamic flexure tests. In addition, energy partitioning is first numerically performed in the dynamic SCB tests and the nominal fracture energy manifests an S type of rate dependence with loading rates.
Adaptive Fuzzy Hardware Scheduler for Real Time Operating System

In embedded system, a real time operating system (RTOs) is often used to structure the application code and ensure that the deadlines are met by reacting on events in the environment by executing the functions within precise time. Most embedded systems are bound to real time constraints with determinism and latency as a critical metrics. Generally RTOs are implemented in software, which in turns increases computational overheads, jitter and memory footprint which can be reduced even if not remove completely by utilizing latest FPGA technology, which enables the implementation of a full featured and flexible hardware based RTOs. Scheduling algorithms play an important role in the design of real time systems. This paper proposes the novel FIS based adaptive hardware task scheduler for multiprocessor systems that minimizes the processor time for scheduling activity which uses fuzzy logic to model the uncertainty at first stage along with adaptive framework that uses feedback which allows processors share of task running on multiprocessor to be controlled dynamically at runtime. This Fuzzy logic based adaptive hardware scheduler breakthroughs the limit of the number of total task and thus improves efficiency of the entire real time system. The increased computation overheads resulted from proposed model can be compensated by exploiting the parallelism of the hardware as being migrated to FPGA.
Direct Image to Geometry Registration Using Mobile Sensor Data

Adding supplementary texture and 2D image based annotations to 3D surface models is a useful next step for domain specialists to make use of photorealistic products of laser scanning and photogrammetry. This requires a registration between the new camera imagery and the model geometry to be solved, which can be a time consuming task without appropriate automation. The increasing availability of photorealistic models, coupled with the proliferation of mobile devices, gives users the possibility to complement their models in real time. Modern mobile devices deliver digital photographs of increasing quality, as well as on board sensor data, which can be used as input for practical and automatic camera registration procedures. Their familiar user interface also improves manual registration procedures. This paper introduces a fully automatic pose estimation method using the on board sensor data for initial exterior orientation, and feature matching between an acquired photograph and a synthesised rendering of the orientated 3D scene as input for fine alignment. The paper also introduces a user friendly manual camera registration and pose estimation interface for mobile devices, based on existing surface geometry and numerical optimisation methods. The article further assesses the automatic algorithm's accuracy compared to traditional methods, and the impact of computational and environmental parameters. Experiments using urban and geological case studies show a significant sensitivity of the automatic procedure to the quality of the initial mobile sensor values. Changing natural lighting conditions remain a challenge for automatic pose estimation techniques, although progress is presented here. Finally, the automatically registered mobile images are used as the basis for adding user annotations to the input textured model.
In Situ Tuning of Magnetization and Magnetoresistance in Fe3O4 Thin Film Achieved with All Solid State Redox Device.
Venue: ACS nano

An all solid state redox device composed of Fe3O4 thin film and Li( ion conducting solid electrolyte was fabricated for use in tuning magnetization and magnetoresistance (MR) which are key factors in the creation of high density magnetic storage devices. Electrical conductivity, magnetization, and MR were reversibly tuned by Li( insertion and removal. Tuning of the various Fe3O4 thin film properties was achieved by donation of an electron to the Fe(3+ ions. This technique should lead to the development of spintronics devices based on the reversible switching of magnetization and spin polarization (P) It should also improve the performance of conventional magnetic random access memory (MRAM) devices in which the ON/OFF ratio has been limited to a small value due to a decrease in P near the tunnel barrier.

Review of anthraquinone applications for pest management and agricultural crop protection.
Venue: Pest management science

We have reviewed published anthraquinone applications for international pest management and agricultural crop protection from 1943 to 2016. Anthraquinone (AQ) is commonly found in dyes, pigments and many plants and organisms. Avian repellent research with AQ began in the 1940s. In the context of pest management, AQ is currently used as a chemical repellent, perch deterrent, insecticide and feeding deterrent in many wild birds, and in some mammals, insects and fishes. Criteria for evaluation of effective chemical repellents include efficacy, potential for wildlife hazards, phytotoxicity and environmental persistence. As a biopesticide, AQ often meets these criteria of efficacy for the non lethal management of agricultural depredation caused by wildlife. We summarize published applications of AQ for the protection of newly planted and maturing crops from pest birds. Conventional applications of AQ based repellents include preplant seed treatments [e.g. corn (Zea mays L. rice (Oryza sativa L. sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. wheat (Triticum spp. millet (Panicum spp. sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. pelletized feed and forest tree species] and foliar applications for rice, sunflower, lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. turf, sugar beets (Beta vulgaris L. soybean (Glycine max L. sweet corn and nursery, fruit and nut crops. In addition to agricultural repellent applications, AQ has also been used to treat toxicants for the protection of non target birds. Few studies have demonstrated AQ repellency in mammals, including wild boar (Sus scrofa, L. thirteen lined ground squirrels (Ictidomys tridecemlineatus, Mitchill) black tailed prairie dogs (Cyomys ludovicainus, Ord. common voles (Microtus arvalis, Pallas) house mice (Mus musculus, L. Tristram's jirds (Meriones tristrami, Thomas) and black rats (Rattus rattus L. Natural sources of AQ and its derivatives have also been identified as insecticides and insect repellents. As a natural or synthetic biopesticide, AQ is a promising candidate for many contexts of non lethal and insecticidal pest management.  This article is a U.S. Government work and is in the public domain in the USA.
Benzoxazolinone detoxification by N Glucosylation: The multi compartment network of Zea mays L.
Venue: Plant signaling behavior

The major detoxification product in maize roots after 24 h benzoxazolin 2(3H) one (BOA) exposure was identified as glucoside carbamate resulting from rearrangement of BOA N glucoside, but the pathway of N glucosylation, enzymes involved and the site of synthesis were previously unknown. Assaying whole cell proteins revealed the necessity of H2O2 and Fe2+ ions for glucoside carbamate production. Peroxidase produced BOA radicals are apparently formed within the extraplastic space of the young maize root. Radicals seem to be the preferred substrate for N glucosylation, either by direct reaction with glucose or, more likely, the N glucoside is released by glucanase/glucosidase catalyzed hydrolysis from cell wall components harboring fixed BOA. The processes are accompanied by alterations of cell wall polymers. Glucoside carbamate accumulation could be suppressed by the oxireductase inhibitor 2 bromo 4' nitroacetophenone and by peroxidase inhibitor 2,3 butanedione. Alternatively, activated BOA molecules with an open heterocycle may be produced by microorganisms (e.g. endophyte Fusarium verticillioides) and channeled for enzymatic N glucosylation. Experiments with transgenic Arabidopsis lines indicate a role of maize glucosyltransferase BX9 in BOA N glycosylation. Western blots with BX9 antibody demonstrate the presence of BX9 in the extraplastic space. Proteomic analyses verified a high BOA responsiveness of multiple peroxidases in the apoplast/cell wall. BOA incubations led to shifting, altered abundances and identities of the apoplast and cell wall located peroxidases, glucanases, glucosidases and glutathione transferases (GSTs) GSTs could function as glucoside carbamate transporters. The highly complex, compartment spanning and redox regulated glucoside carbamate pathway seems to be mainly realized in Poaceae. In maize, carbamate production is independent from benzoxazinone synthesis.

Understanding amygdala responsiveness to fearful expressions through the lens of psychopathy and altruism
Venue: Journal of neuroscience research

Because the face is the central focus of human social interactions, emotional facial expressions provide a unique window into the emotional lives of others. They play a particularly important role in fostering empathy, which entails understanding and responding to others' emotions, especially distress related emotions such as fear. This Review considers how fearful facial as well as vocal and postural expressions are interpreted, with an emphasis on the role of the amygdala. The amygdala may be best known for its role in the acquisition and expression of conditioned fear, but it also supports the perception and recognition of others' fear. Various explanations have been supplied for the amygdala's role in interpreting and responding to fearful expressions. They include theories that amygdala responses to fearful expressions 1) reflect heightened vigilance in response to uncertain danger, 2) promote heightened attention to the eye region of faces, 3) represent a response to an unconditioned aversive stimulus, or 4) reflect the generation of an empathic fear response. Among these, only empathic fear explains why amygdala lesions would impair fear recognition across modalities. Supporting the possibility of a link between fundamental empathic processes and amygdala responses to fear is evidence that impaired fear recognition in psychopathic individuals results from amygdala dysfunction, whereas enhanced fear recognition in altruistic individuals results from enhanced amygdala function. Empathic concern and caring behaviors may be fostered by sensitivity to signs of acute distress in others, which relies on intact functioning of the amygdala.
Mathematical modelling of sustainable procurement strategies: three case studies

Sustainable procurement is the process of meeting the needs of an organisation with the most beneficial monetary value, while mitigating the diverse effects of its operations on society and environment. There are studies which adopt environmental criteria to procurement decisions, whereas, works integrating the three dimensions and discussing the trade offs between them are scarce. In this paper, the three dimensions of corporate sustainability; environmental economical social, are integrated into supplier selection and demand allocation decisions. With their integrated approach, the proposed mathematical models aim to contribute to the relevant literature by analysing different sustainable procurement strategies. Initially a questionnaire is introduced for measuring the sustainability scores of a company's potential suppliers, and these scores are then used as an input to the models. The developed mixed integer linear programming models distribute demand to the most sustainable firms in the supplier pool of the company, while ensuring minimum procurement cost for the identified strategy. The questionnaire and models are implemented in three companies to interpret the outcomes of different sustainability strategies on the procurement decisions. Selection of the most appropriate strategy is a managerial decision influenced by the varying dynamics of the company and the market conditions. These models demonstrate an easy and practical approach in assisting sustainable procurement. Results are promising in displaying the trade offs between the sustainability dimensions of different strategies with alternating procurement costs, and can aid the managers to integrate environmental, economical, and social aspects into their supply chain operations.
