Evaluating The Quality Of Serial Em Sections With Deep Learning, Mahsa Bank Tavakoli, Josh L Morgan

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Automated image acquisition can significantly improve the throughput of serial section scanning electron microscopy (ssSEM). However, image quality can vary from image to image depending on autofocusing and beam stigmation. Automatically evaluating the quality of images is, therefore, important for efficiently generating high-quality serial section scanning electron microscopy (ssSEM) datasets. We tested several convolutional neural networks for their ability to reproduce user-generated evaluations of ssSEM image quality. We found that a modification of ResNet-50 that we term quality evaluation Network (QEN) reliably predicts user-generated quality scores. Running QEN in parallel to ssSEM image acquisition therefore allows users to quickly identify …

Connectivity, Presence, And Time: A Pedagogical Experience With Telematic Music, Cássia Carrascoza Bomfim, Alexandre Ficarelli, Danilo Rossetti

Journal of Network Music and Arts

This article aims to discuss the notions of connectivity, presence, and time in the specific context of telematic music. To do so, we describe the work of the Telematic Ensemble LaFlauta, formed by students and professors from the University of São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto campus, for performance at the NowNet Arts Conference 2023.4 This work involved rehearsals and performances of three compositions dedicated to the group: Virtual Studies (2023) by Paulo C. Chagas, Modules 2 - My Words (2023) by Cássia Carrascoza, and Textural Studies (2023) by Danilo Rossetti. We conclude that the positive results of telematic music in a …

Three Zafimaniry Carvings From The Southern Highlands Of Madagascar And Their Symbolic Meaning, Emily Krupp

Theses

The Zafimaniry people are a community living in the southern highlands of Madagascar, most known for their geometric, low-relief works of art that they carve onto wooden surfaces throughout their villages. The shapes that make up the designs signify the Zafimaniry people's ideologies, but motifs carved into the homes specifically represent their beliefs about marriage and societal structure. Three metaphorical symbols have been translated within the motifs by the Zafimaniry people as the patriarch, the family, and the community. A comparative cultural study between the motifs on Zafimaniry window shutters and Swahili doorways reveal similarities in material culture, visual elements …

Fusing Rotation Angle Coding In Spherical Space For Human Action Recognition, Benyue Su, Bangguo Zhu, Mengjuan Guo, Min Sheng

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: The existing human action recognition methods focus more on the translation information such as the coordinates and displacements of skeleton structure, and pay less attention to the motion trend of skeleton structure and the rotation information representing the motion direction of joints and bones. A spatio-temporal convolutional neural network method combining the rotation angle coding in spherical space is introduced. The angle information with scale invariance is obtained by mapping the human action in three-dimensional spherical space, and the dynamic angular velocity information is extracted as the angle code to represent the rotation information of joints and bones in …

Strangeness Detection From Crowded Video Scenes By Hand-Crafted And Deep Learning Features, Ali A. Hussan, Shaimaa H. Shaker, Akbas Ezaldeen Ali

Journal of Soft Computing and Computer Applications

Video anomaly detection is one of the trickiest issues in intelligent video surveillance because of the complexity of real data and the hazy definition of anomalies. Since abnormal occurrences typically seem different from normal events and move differently. The global optical flow was determined with the maximum accuracy and speed using the Farneback approach for calculating the magnitudes. Two approaches have been used in this study to detect strangeness in the video. These approaches are Deep Learning (DL) and manuality. The first method uses the activity map's development of entropy to detect the oddity in the video using a particular …

E-Lit's #1 Hit: Is Instagram Poetry E-Literature?, Kathi Inman Berens

English Faculty Publications and Presentations

Preface

A lot has happened in the world, and in e-literature, since my essay débuted as a conference presentation then a publication in electronic book review in 2018. Global protests against the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor during the pandemic summer of 2020 sparked reckoning with how banal, mainstream, and lethal is white supremacy. Six months later, in response to specific critiques about access and equity inside the Electronic Literature Organization, its Board of Directors published a statement about Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) as a core value. As an editor of the Electronic Literature Collective Volume 4, …

Transformative Sketching: Unveiling Character Identity In Two Dimensions, Sanya Jain, Prasad Bokil

DRS Biennial Conference Series

We understand this world through our sense perceptions and past associations. The main objective of the study was to sketch the face of a character with a specific identity, so that it aligns with its intended description, thus ensuring it is perceived as intended. The use of shapes and features of animals have helped to derive characters that represent an archetype. The digital representations of these characters find their place along two distinct axes: (i) transitioning from elaborate to minimal and (ii) shifting between animalistic and human features. The methodology harmoniously merges diverse character appearances, eliminating fragmentation. We place significant …

A Designer’S Lexicon: An Ethnographic Exploration Of Language In Design Practice, Madison Sabatelli

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Although a visual language often takes precedence as the main communicator in design, text can act as a fundamental medium of developing ideas. Writing not only has similar capabilities as sketching in order to externalize concepts, but also when developing cognitive thinking and communicate with others. Using instructional, social and reflective lenses, this ethnographic study catalogues and analyzes examples of written language present across several design studios at The Ohio State University. Artifacts presented include writing prompted by design instructors, written interactions between peers and student self-awareness delivered through reflective writing. Acting as a purveyor of language, writing serves a …

Thought Experiments In The Ethics Of Designing For Future People., Peter Buwert, Matt Sinclair

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The Non-Identity Problem (NIP) is a philosophical puzzle which challenges our intuitive assumptions and reasoning around the question of our moral obligations towards ‘future people’. This paper explores the significance of the NIP for design, an activity which is necessarily both future-oriented and ethical in nature. Through examination of two thought experiments proposed by philosopher Derek Parfit, this paper makes two contributions to the field of design ethics. Firstly, it raises the profile of the NIP as a topic of interest and for further study in design ethics research. The second is to propose that philosophical thought experiments can play …

Prospective Design: A Structuralist Design Aesthetic Founded On Relational Qualities, Fernanda Botter, Frederick M. C. Van Amstel, Marco André Mazzarotto Filho, Cayley Guimarães

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Prospective design is a research program founded on critical dialogues between Global South and Global North philosophies of design. Prospective design expands the current work on designing sociotechnical transitions by including the contradiction between “forces of nature” and “human forces” as a structural feature of Western society, which generates patriarchal and feminist worldviews, colonies and metropolises, and capitalist and socialist economic systems. In prospective design, contradictions are sensed, expressed, and worked out through a structuralist design aesthetic founded on the concept of existential structures, i.e. an accumulated set of relationships needed to reproduce human life. Instead of changing them directly, …

This theme track focuses on contributions from design in fulfilling the societal need to promote wellbeing and happiness, aligned with the conference theme: Resistance, Recovery, Reflection, Reimagination. The conference encourages us to expand our design horizons by reflecting on how the world is challenging the prevailing focus of design, which is …

From Data Points To Well-Being: A Design Framework Of Self-Tracked Data Through The Lens Of Positive Psychology, Yvette Shen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The "Quantified Self" movement has grown, with more people using self-tracking tools to monitor everything from physical activities to emotional well-being. This study investigates the interplay between self-tracking practices and positive psychology, highlighting their collective potential to boost personal well-being. Integrating self-tracked data with principles like strengths, resilience, and personal growth allows for the transformation of mere metrics into compelling stories. The paper presents a de-sign framework that is influenced by classroom projects and the examination of data presentation in health and fitness apps. This framework manages the complete data lifecycle—from collection and organization to interpretation, presentation, and finally, harnessing …

Anticolonial Prospects For Overcoming The Coloniality Of Making In Design, Carmem Saito, Rodrigo Freese Gonzatto, Frederick Van Amstel

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Design has been instrumental in preserving the coloniality of making – a set of ideological, cultural, political, market and relational processes that operate to identify, categorise and hierarchise different making practices that benefit the metropolises at globalised production structures. This paper presents a theoretical examination of the coloniality of making based on the anticolonial scholarship of the Design & Oppression Network. The examination proceeds with three prospective studies to overcome this form of coloniality in fashion, interaction, and graphic design. The first part of each study denounces how design reproduces the hierarchy between intellectual and manual labour and justifies class, …

Empowering Through Design: Designing Inclusive Sheltered Workshop Environments For Trainees With Special Needs In Hong Kong, Izzy Yi Jian, Wanchun Ye, Qiling Long, Kin Wai Michael Siu

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Intellectual disability (ID) affects approximately 1% of the global population, repre-senting diverse support needs. Sheltered workshops in Hong Kong, as elsewhere, aim to maximise the potential of individuals with ID (trainees), acknowledging their equal rights to be full members of the community, though their needs are often overlooked in design research, and space constraints pose developmental challeng-es. This study conducts case analyses of sheltered workshops in Hong Kong and globally, focusing on spatial layouts, interior design, and developmental goals. User personas provide insights into the experiences of trainees and supervisors. This re-search proposes a comprehensive framework featuring 3 aspects that …

Translational Design: Enabling Impact In Complex, Multi-Stakeholder Research Projects Through Design, Rowan Christopher Page, Rosie Hornbuckle, Leah Heiss, André Nogueira

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Translational research converts the knowledge generated through basic research into tangible innovations, solutions, and interventions that directly impact people and the planet. As universities increasingly seek to maximise research impact, the applied, action-oriented, epistemology of design is well-positioned to support translational research. Successful translation requires strong communication and collaboration between different disciplines, industry partners, policy, and research end-users. Multi-stakeholder collaborations foster holistic approaches, leading to more effective and contextually relevant solutions. Designers are well-positioned to facilitate complex entanglements, integrating the needs and values of diverse perspectives. However, the emerging role of design as an enabler of translational research needs to …

Design Sketching And Visualization, Futures & Research, Bryan Howell, Janwillem Hofftjzer, Mauricio Novoa Munoz

Design sketching in analogue, tablet, and immersive technologies, combined with artificial intelligence, is rapidly evolving and is primed for reinterpretation and further contextualisation. Discussions about analogue and digital sketching, live and online education, traditional and emerging visual contexts, generative and explanatory visual knowledge, emerging technology and methods, and the visual power and speed of sketching with artificial intelligence have seeded the ground to reassess our relationships with the role of sketching, and visual knowledge. The “Design Sketching and Visualization, Futures & Research” track welcomes visual or written research papers from industry professionals and academics on three topics: 1- Analogue and …

Service Design And Circular Economy In Hybrid Retail Design, Nonkululeko Grootboom, Katelijn Quartier, Christina Breed

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper serves as a pilot study exploring hybrid (physical and digital) retail design within the context of the circular economy, and it examines the prerequisite of the hy-brid retail environment in facilitating customer engagement with circular economy practices. Utilizing an exploratory qualitative approach, we collect primary data through semi-structured interviews with an SME retail brand and ten of its customers. Additionally, we conducted observations of both the physical store and its social me-dia. This contributes to the limited existing literature on hybrid retail design within the context of the circular economy, particularly in the fashion industry. By bridging two …

Co-Diagnosed: A Multi-Disciplinary Workshop Reimagining Cultures Of Care For Medical And Mental Health, Valerie Greer, Emily Johnson, Virginia Pankey, Jack Burton

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper focuses on places of healing for co-diagnosed patients who suffer from both mental and medical illnesses. Comorbidity is recognized as a growing concern yet there is little prece-dent in the healthcare industry for designing spaces that respond to needs of patients who re-quire hospitalization for medical conditions, and who simultaneously suffer mental health disor-ders. To explore this problem, we created a workshop to engage healthcare providers, adminis-trators and healthcare architects with undergraduate and graduate students in art, architecture, visual communications and urban design. Our goal was to identify issues that must be ad-dressed through the lens of patients …
