Interactive web-GIS tools play an important role in determining disaster risk assessment which ultimately result in reduction of unexpected damages, cost and saves millions of lives. Disaster management practitioners largely benefited information at their disposal about location where possible incidents are eminent, anticipate the impact and project possible outcomes to help mitigate and organize
Following the idea originally proposed during the ESO-Workshop The Very Large Telescope in 2030, the concept of a high resolution spectrograph for the VLT has been further explored, both for the science and technological aspects. Such an instrument will fill a gap in capabilities amongst the landscape of future instrumentation planned for the next decade. Its key characteristic will be high spectr

Compassion meditation (CM) has shown promising effects on well-being and pro-social behaviour. The current study tested the hypotheses that a 10-minute CM would increase levels of Positive Affect (PA) and Social Connectedness (SC) more than a Passive Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PPMR) exercise, of similar length. We also hypothesized that the effects would differ depending on individual differen
OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the use of visualization and simulation tools in order to involve stakeholders and inform the process in hospital change processes, illustrated by an empirical study from a children's emergency clinic. BACKGROUND: Reorganization and redevelopment of a hospital is a complex activity that involves many stakeholders and demands. Visualization and simulation tools have proven
Dolphin sonar has been extensively studied over several decades, and much of its basic characteristics are well known (Au 1993). However, most of these studies have been based on an experimental setup where the dolphin has been trained to be voluntarily fixed, so its directional sonar beam could be recorded with fixed hydrophones. Although this allows for very exact measurements, it most likely ha
This paper introduces an improved method for real-time brain computer interface control. We demonstrate how Bayesian optimization and feedback can be used to achieve faster statistical convergence by controlling the sequence of stimuli shown in a brain computer interface based on a visual oddball paradigm.
Functionalities of clay-polymer nanocomposites (CPN) are related to the degree of clay particle exfoliation and orientation within the polymer matrix. Exploration of new physical methods for such CPN processing is currently an active field of research. In the present work, organoclay polypropylene nanocomposites were prepared by melt intercalation and subsequently exposed to an electric field (E)
When developing software platforms for product lines, decisions on which features to implement are affected by factors such as changing markets and evolving technologies. Effective scoping thus requires continuous assessment of how changes in the domain impact scoping decisions. Decisions may have to be changed as circumstances change, resulting in a dynamic evolution of the scope of software asse
Galah is an ongoing high-resolution spectroscopic survey with the goal of disentangling the formation history of the Milky Way using the fossil remnants of disrupted star formation sites that are now dispersed around the Galaxy. It is targeting a randomly selected magnitude-limited (V ≤ 14) sample of stars, with the goal of observing one million objects. To date, 300,000 spectra have been obtained
