Technological advances and societal changes in recent years have contributed to a shift traditional care models the relationship between patients their doctors/carers, with (in general) an increase patient-carer physical distance corresponding modes of access relevant information by all groups. The objective this paper is showcase research efforts six projects (that authors are currently, or recently been, involved in), CAALYX, eCAALYX, COGKNOW, EasyLine+, I2HOME, SHARE-it, funded European...

X-ray attenuation coefficients were measured in the energy range of 25 keV to 130 for following elements: Be, C, Mg, Al, S, Ti, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Zr, Nb, Mo, Ag, Sn, La, Gd, Hf, W, Au, Pb, Th, U, and Pu. Narrow beam collimation was used with a Bragg diffraction monochromator. Experimental errors less than 2% most measurements.

Retigabine (D-23129, N-(2-amino-4-(4-fluorobenzylamino)-phenyl) carbamic acid ethyl ester) is a potent anticonvulsant in variety of animal models. Rats metabolized [14C]retigabine mainly through glucuronidation and acetylation reactions. Glucuronides were detected incubates with liver microsomes or slices, plasma, bile feces but absent urine (0-24 h) that contained about 2% the dose as retigabine approximately 29% > 20 metabolites, which are derived from About 67% radioactivity was excreted...

In the last few years substantial progress has been made in smart home technologies, and promises to support assist us our daily life are higher than ever. This holds not only for regular users but also people with special needs such as elderly disabilities. The appropriate design of homes can enable a more independent these give them chance stay their familiar environment longer period time. Hence, concept play an important role when addressing demographic change that is present most...

Increasing numbers of gamers worldwide have led to more attention being paid accessibility in games. Virtual Reality offers new possibilities enable people play games but also comes with challenges for accessibility. Guidelines provide help developers avoid barriers and include persons disabilities their As today, there are only a few extensive collections rules on video Especially technologies like virtual reality sparsely represented current guidelines. In this work, we an overview...

The comparison of structures in the solid state and solution by one method—NMR spectroscopy — enabled unequivocal demonstration structural changes on dissolution a compound. Thus,e.g., crystal vinylogous amide (R = C6H11) investigated is E-configurated at CC double bond; Z-form most stable.

For d/Deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) people, captioning is an essential accessibility tool. Significant developments in artificial intelligence (AI) mean that Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) now a part many popular applications. This makes creating captions easy broadly available - but transcription needs high levels accuracy to be accessible. Scientific publications industry report very low error rates, claiming AI has reached human parity or even outperforms manual transcription. At the...

Abstract A concept of first choice for the synthesis title compounds had been proposed by Dane in late 1930s. It was soon turned down, because opening move–a chirogenic Diels ‐ Alder reaction – did not work. With Lewis acids as mediators, however, a successful start has achieved now. Ti complexes chelating ligands ( Seebach 's TADDOLs (= α,α,α′,α′‐tetraaryl‐1,3‐dioxolane‐4,5‐dimethanols)), enantioselective formation desired adducts does occur. Efficient total syntheses 2 and 3a have accomplished.

This paper examines four XML languages for abstract user interface representation: UIML, XIML, XForms and AIAP. It discusses whether the high level architectures of these support requirements universal usability by allowing use personal interfaces. Specific technical include separation data from presentation, explicit declarative representation elements, their state, dependencies, semantics, flexibility in inclusion alternative resources remote control different interaction styles. Of...

Photolactonization: A Novel Synthetic Entry to Macrolides o ‐Quinol acetates, hydroxyalkylated at C(6), are easily accessible from simple phenols by Wessely acetoxylation (preferentially catalyzed BF 3 ). On UV irradiation (in the presence of an appropriate tertiary amine), they smoothly converted macrocyclic lactones. Subtle conditions have been elaborated lead high overall yields, and scope conversion macrolides has elucidated.

Synthesis of the Lichen Macrolide (+)‐Aspicilin Using Photolactonization as a Key Reaction (+)‐ Aspicilin , obtained from lichen source Black Forest has been proven to have absolute configuration depicted by formula la . It is easily built up phenol ( 14a ), 1,9‐nonanediol 13a and (−)‐( S ‐) methyloxiarane 6 ) cf. Scheme 2 ). The latter building block provides first stereogenic center C(17). heterocycle produced photolactonization, fairly early during course synthesis. second generated...

A 'Universal Remote Console' (URC) is a personal device that can be used to control any electronic and information technology (target device/service), such as thermostats, TVs, or copy machines. The URC renders the user interface (UI) of target in way accommodates user's preferences abilities.

Grain structures observed in most casting processes of metallic alloys are the result a competition between growth several arrays dendrites that develop under constrained and unconstrained conditions. Often this leads to transition from columnar equiaxed grain during solidification (CET). A microgravity environment results suppression buoyancy-driven melt flow so enables grains free sedimentation buoyancy effects. This contribution presents first obtained experiments on-board International...

Developing resources for online learning in its many guises and more recently MOOCs has been discussed across the educational sector, usually by individuals working one institution or organisation. Rarely are there discussions that highlight issues of collaborative on content is delivered over a period weeks wide range abilities skills. In particular reluctance to face presented barriers access those with disabilities even could arise should an academic be unable development platform present...

Entertainment applications for robots are often based on voice interaction. In these scenarios, the robot is primarily used as a assistant with physical body. We conducted study to investigate whether entertainment value of during game can be attributed experience interaction alone, or it related presence and its expressivity through gestures movement. The examined user three different set-ups quiz (with assistant, without animation, animated robot). results indicate that perceived hedonic...

Abstract We present our work concerning the connection of a vision system to natural language system. That is, automatic processing transforms original sequence TV images into descriptions moving objects. It is first time that this transformation has been achieved entirely by computer. A developed in Karlsruhe briefly introduced. By analyzing displacement vector fields, trajectories object candidates are recognized. The CITYTOUR presented. verbalization spatial relations between static and...
