An Enhanced Robot Massage System In Smart Homes Using Force Sensing And Dynamic Movement Primitive, C Li, A Fahmy, S Li, J Sienz Jun 2020

An Enhanced Robot Massage System In Smart Homes Using Force Sensing And Dynamic Movement Primitive, C Li, A Fahmy, S Li, J Sienz

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

With requirements to improve life quality, smart homes, and healthcare have gradually become a future lifestyle. In particular, service robots with human behavioral sensing for private or personal use in the home have attracted a lot of research attention thanks to their advantages in relieving high labor costs and the fatigue of human assistance. In this paper, a novel force-sensing- and robotic learning algorithm-based teaching interface for robot massaging has been proposed. For the teaching purposes, a human operator physically holds the end-effector of the robot to perform the demonstration. At this stage, the end position data are outputted and …


Lysophosphatidylcholine Acyltransferase 2 (Lpcat2) Co-Localises With Tlr4 And Regulates Macrophage Inflammatory Gene Expression In Response To Lps, W. Abate, H. Alrammah, M. Kiernan, A. J. Tonks, S. K. Jackson Jun 2020

Lysophosphatidylcholine Acyltransferase 2 (Lpcat2) Co-Localises With Tlr4 And Regulates Macrophage Inflammatory Gene Expression In Response To Lps, W. Abate, H. Alrammah, M. Kiernan, A. J. Tonks, S. K. Jackson

School of Biomedical Sciences

Despite extensive investigations, an efective treatment for sepsis remains elusive and a better understanding of the infammatory response to infection is required to identify potential new targets for therapy. In this study we have used RNAi technology to show, for the frst time, that the inducible lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 2 (LPCAT2) plays a key role in macrophage infammatory gene expression in response to stimulation with bacterial ligands. Using siRNA- or shRNA-mediated knockdown, we demonstrate that, in contrast to the constitutive LPCAT1, LPCAT2 is required for macrophage cytokine gene expression and release in response to TLR4 and TLR2 ligand stimulation but not …


Information Biopolitics: Copyright Law And The Regulation Of Life In The Network Society, N Gervassis Jun 2020

Information Biopolitics: Copyright Law And The Regulation Of Life In The Network Society, N Gervassis

School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences

Online settings illustrate our truest passing into the information age, with cultural development and social relationships being mediated exclusively via ‘palpable’ digital information artefacts, like texts, images, videos, webpage links and social networking accounts. Suspended between its intangible nature and its various ‘tangible’ expressions, and according to Drahos constituting ‘the daily lifeblood of human agents as communicating beings’, information regulated under familiar legal conceptions of property suggests arguably ‘biopolitical’ developments: the hold, which one exerts on information items, extends to administering essentially life in its social and cultural aspects. The propertisation of information in copyright laws authorises long-term exercises of …

Feedback Between High-Pressure Genesis Of Abiotic Methane And Strain Localization In Subducted Carbonate Rocks, F Giuntoli, A Vitale Brovarone, L Menegon Jun 2020

Feedback Between High-Pressure Genesis Of Abiotic Methane And Strain Localization In Subducted Carbonate Rocks, F Giuntoli, A Vitale Brovarone, L Menegon

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Fluid-rock interactions exert key control over rock rheology and strain localization. Redox may significantly affect the reaction pathways and, thereby, the mechanical properties of the rock. This effect may become critical in volatile-rich, redox sensitive rocks such as carbonate-rich lithologies, the breakdown of which can significantly modify the net volume change of fluid-mediated reactions. Subduction focus the largest recycling of crustal carbonates and the most intense seismic activity on Earth. Nevertheless, the feedbacks between deep carbon mobilization and deformation remain poorly investigated. We present quantitative microstructural results from natural samples and thermodynamic modeling indicating that percolation of reducing fluids exerts …

School of Art, Design and Architecture

Music provides a means of communicating affective meaning. However, the neurological mechanisms by which music induces affect are not fully understood. Our project sought to investigate this through a series of experiments into how humans react to affective musical stimuli and how physiological and neurological signals recorded from those participants change in accordance with self-reported changes in affect. In this paper, the datasets recorded over the course of this project are presented, including details of the musical stimuli, participant reports of their felt changes in affective states as they listened to the music, and concomitant recordings of physiological and neurological …


Small Shelly Fossils And Carbon Isotopes From The Early Cambrian (Stage 3-4) Mural Formation Of Western Laurentia, Christian B. Skovsted, Uwe Balthasar, Jakob Vinther, Erik A. Sperling Jun 2020

Small Shelly Fossils And Carbon Isotopes From The Early Cambrian (Stage 3-4) Mural Formation Of Western Laurentia, Christian B. Skovsted, Uwe Balthasar, Jakob Vinther, Erik A. Sperling

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

The extraordinary window of phosphatised and phosphatic Small Shelly Fossils (SSFs) during the early and middle Cambrian is an important testament to the radiation of biomineralising metazoans. While SSF are well known from most Cambrian palaeocontinents during this time interval, western Laurentia has relatively few SSF faunas. Here we describe a diverse SSF fauna from the early Cambrian (Stage 3-4) Mural Formation at three localities in Alberta and British Columbia, Canada, complemented by carbon isotope measurements to aid in a potential future bio-chemostratigraphic framework. The fauna expands the recorded SSF assemblage diversity in western Laurentia and includes several brachiopods, four …

The Parallel Htm Spatial Pooler With Actor Model, D Dobric, A Pech, B Ghita, T Wennekers Jun 2020

The Parallel Htm Spatial Pooler With Actor Model, D Dobric, A Pech, B Ghita, T Wennekers

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

The Hierarchical Temporal Memory Cortical Learning Algorithm (HTM CLA) is an algorithm inspired by the biological functioning of the neo-cortex, which combines spatial pattern recognition and temporal sequence learning. It organizes neurons in layers of column-like units built from many neurons such that the units are connected into structures called regions (areas). Layers can be hierarchically organized and can further be connected into more complex networks, which would allow to implement higher cognitive capabilities like invariant representations. However, a complex topology and a potentially high number of neurons would require more computing power than a single machine even with multiple …


Comparing Deep-Sea Larval Dispersal Models: A Cautionary Tale For Ecology And Conservation, Rebecca E. Ross, W. Alex M. Nimmo-Smith, Ricardo Torres, Kerry L. Howell Jun 2020

Comparing Deep-Sea Larval Dispersal Models: A Cautionary Tale For Ecology And Conservation, Rebecca E. Ross, W. Alex M. Nimmo-Smith, Ricardo Torres, Kerry L. Howell

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

Larval dispersal data are increasingly sought after in ecology and marine conservation, the latter often requiring information under time limited circumstances. Basic estimates of dispersal [based on average current speeds and planktonic larval duration (PLD)] are often used in these situations, usually acknowledging their oversimplified nature, but rarely with an understanding of how oversimplified those assumptions are. Larval dispersal models (LDMs) are becoming more accessible and may produce “better” dispersal predictions than estimates, but the uncertainty introduced by choosing one underlying hydrodynamic model over another is rarely discussed. This case study uses theoretical and simplified deep-sea LDMs to compare the …

Coral Reef Islands Can Accrete Vertically In Response To Sea Level Rise, Gerd Masselink, Eddie Beetham, Paul Kench Jun 2020

Coral Reef Islands Can Accrete Vertically In Response To Sea Level Rise, Gerd Masselink, Eddie Beetham, Paul Kench

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

Increased flooding due to sea level rise (SLR) is expected to render reef islands, defined as sandy or gravel islands on top of coral reef platforms, uninhabitable within decades. Such projections generally assume that reef islands are geologically inert landforms unable to adjust morphologically. We present numerical modeling results that show reef islands composed of gravel material are morphodynamically resilient landforms that evolve under SLR by accreting to maintain positive freeboard while retreating lagoonward. Such island adjustment is driven by wave overtopping processes transferring sediment from the beachface to the island surface. Our results indicate that such natural adaptation of …

Data analysis workflows in many scientific domains have become increasingly complex and flexible. Here we assess the effect of this flexibility on the results of functional magnetic resonance imaging by asking 70 independent teams to analyse the same dataset, testing the same 9 ex-ante hypotheses1. The flexibility of analytical approaches is exemplified by the fact that no two teams chose identical workflows to analyse the data. This flexibility resulted in sizeable variation in the results of hypothesis tests, even for teams whose statistical maps were highly correlated at intermediate stages of the analysis pipeline. Variation in reported results was related …

Snakes are descended from highly visual lizards [1] but have limited (probably dichromatic) color vision attributed to a dim-light lifestyle of early snakes [2, 3, 4]. The living species of front-fanged elapids, however, are ecologically very diverse, with ∼300 terrestrial species (cobras, taipans, etc.) and ∼60 fully marine sea snakes, plus eight independently marine, amphibious sea kraits [1]. Here, we investigate the evolution of spectral sensitivity in elapids by analyzing their opsin genes (which are responsible for sensitivity to UV and visible light), retinal photoreceptors, and ocular lenses. We found that sea snakes underwent rapid adaptive diversification of their visual …
