A Novel Deliberative Multicriteria Evaluation Approach To Ecosystem Service Valuation, Georgia Mayrommati, Mark E. Borsuk, Richard B. Howarth

New Hampshire EPSCoR

Although efforts to address ecosystem services in decision making have advanced considerably in recent years, there remain challenges related to valuation. In particular, conventional economic approaches have been criticized for their inability to capture the collective nature of ecosystem services, for their emphasis on monetary metrics, and the difficulty of assessing the value of ecosystem services to future generations. We present a deliberative multicriteria evaluation (DMCE) method that combines the advantages of multicriteria decision analysis with a deliberation process that allows citizens and scientists to exchange knowledge and evaluate ecosystem services in a social context. Compared with previous applications we …

Tracking Presenters And Performers With A Single Lidar Sensor, Paul Hermann, Michel Honold

Defensive Publications Series

Tracking presenters and performers with a single LiDAR sensor gives a stage of any kind, from conference rooms, lecture halls and houses of worship to theatres and studios, a reliable 3D position of the person, without markers, without an operator and independently of projector light and stage lighting. One LiDAR sensor, either a Doppler LiDAR that measures the radial velocity of every point or a time-of-flight LiDAR with a background model of the static room, finds the person, follows the foot point and height with a Kalman filter and reports presence in zones such as the lectern or the stage. …

Lidar-Assisted Marker Tracking For Operators Of Camera-Based Follow Systems, Paul Hermann, Michel Honold

Defensive Publications Series

LiDAR-assisted marker tracking helps the operator of a camera-based follow system keep the marker on a person more accurately, while the operator stays in control. In such systems an operator moves a marker over the image of a fixed camera, and the marker is converted into a stage position; the operator often misjudges depth in the flat video image and reacts with a delay. One or more LiDAR sensors calibrated to the same stage coordinates measure where persons are. The marker is pulled towards the nearby point cloud of a person like a magnet: mainly along the camera ray, which …

Tracking Persons On A Stage With Velocity-Measuring Lidar Sensors, Michel Honold, Paul Hermann, Openfollow Project

Defensive Publications Series

Tracking persons on a stage with velocity-measuring LiDAR sensors finds and follows performers without markers, without an operator and independently of stage lighting. Two or more sensors at separate positions measure the radial velocity of every point. Moving points are separated from the static stage and scenery within one scan by their velocity, so no background model is needed and moving scenery does not disturb tracking. The point clouds of all sensors are registered into one stage coordinate system, fused and clustered into persons, each with a foot point, body height and velocity, and tracked over time; persons who stop …

Steering Mirrors In Follow Spot And Performer-Tracking Systems: A Documented History, 1920–2010, And A Disclosure Of Variants, Michel Honold, Paul Hermann

Defensive Publications Series

This publication documents the history of steering mirrors in follow spot and performer-tracking systems from 1920 to 2010 and discloses variants. A steering mirror (moving mirror, mirror head or mirror attachment) turns the beam of a stationary follow spot or other luminaire, so that only a light, low-inertia part moves: the beam responds faster, lags less behind the performer, moves steadily, and fewer parts move. Dated patents, trade press and manuals trace gimbal-mounted mirrors in front of a spotlight lens operated by hand, cords and motors from 1920; remote mirror follow spots such as the Telescan and the Pan Can; …

Provorov Fights Pride Night: Hockey, Homophobia, And Reactionary Athlete Activism, Matthew R. Meier

Communication & Theatre Faculty Publications

The 2022–2023 NHL season witnessed a spate of reactionary protests to team-sponsored Pride Nights by players set off by Philadelphia Flyers defensemen Ivan Provorov. In this essay, I consider the reactionary side of athlete activism through an analysis of these protests. Drawing on a critical rhetorical perspective, I critique the discourse of players, coaches, teams, and the league to outline the discursive features of athlete activism that advocates for the hegemonic status quo. I argue that these reactionary protests feature a refusal to engage in public discourse, a reliance on individual beliefs and personal choices, and tacit institutional approval from …

Multi-Surface Height Model For Stage Tracking And Automated Or Remote-Controlled Follow Spot Systems: Correct Target Height On Platforms, Ramps, Stairs And Moving Scenery, Paul Hermann, Michel Honold

Defensive Publications Series

A multi-surface height model lets stage tracking and automated or remote-controlled follow spot systems place targets at the correct height on platforms, risers, ramps, stairs and moving scenery, instead of on a single flat floor plane. For a camera-based tracking system that provides position data, for example to a followspot system, the stage is described in stage coordinates by several surfaces (flat platforms, inclined ramps, stairs, height grids and imported meshes), each with a footprint, an elevation function and an identity. Image points such as mouse clicks and detection or zone foot points are corrected for lens distortion, cast as …

Buffeted By Change, Researchers Seek Continuity And Investment: Results From The Ithaka S+R Us Researcher Survey, Chelsea Mccracken, Dylan Ruediger, Ruby Macdougall

Copyright, Fair Use, Scholarly Communication, etc.

Executive summary

The research enterprise in the United States, established after the second world war, is experiencing massive disruption. US colleges and universities are grappling with federal and state disinvestment and intervention at a time when AI and other technologies are reshaping how research is conducted and its findings are communicated. As a result, researchers at US higher education institutions are operating in an unstable environment. Against this backdrop, the findings from our survey of 4,003 researchers, fielded in late 2025, demonstrate that they remain committed to carrying out essential work and that they are doing so in innovative ways—through …
