Abstract Wearable electronics are becoming increasingly popular for personalized healthcare. These devices often use hydrophobic, pressure‐sensitive adhesives to adhere various parts of the body. With prolonged skin contact, commercial have been shown cause allergic contact dermatitis as well significant loss adhesive strength when exposed moisture and ionic compounds, such sweat. To address these common issues, development a polyelectrolyte‐based wearable is underway. Here, it demonstrated...
Informal communication is an essential resource in hospital work; it used as a means to collaborate and coordinate the way which work performed, well locate gather artifacts human resources required for patient care. The need of physical proximity establish hold informal communications has motivated development tools that support remote interaction. However, this kind technology not been widely adopted hospitals, where workers experience intense mobility. In paper, we present results...
Distributed software development is a new working philosophy that the industry currently facing. Organisations may benefit from situations this shift has created, although they must also confront challenges related to them. In study, authors focused on lack of timely adequate opportunities for informal interaction, which been identified as an important issue overcome coordination, communication and trust limitations. The attempted problem through obtaining information personal activities...
In this work we show that haptic feedback in upper limb motor therapy improves performance and generates a lower mental workload. To demonstrate this, two groups of participants (healthy adults elders with hand problems) used low-cost device (Novint Falcon) non-robotic (Leap Motion Controller). Participants conducted the same rehabilitation task by using non-immersive virtual environment. Results significant differences for all regarding precision on use device. Additionally, older adult...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usability perception seniors on video game use with different control devices. Twenty-four participated in (12 women, 12 men, 69 years old average) and eight children (8 average). setting included two Kinect motion sensors, three computers, projectors, cameras, audio devices, Angry Birds Happy Sky videogames, one Xbox 360 console, a Nintendo Wii device Touchscreen configured so that participants could play games senior–child pairs. Data were...
The susceptibility of aluminum alloy 7075 (AA7075 [UNS A97075]) to intergranular stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in the peak strength T6 temper is alleviated through use T73, or over-aged temper, which provides improved SCC resistance with a 10% 15% loss compared temper. Previous research has indicated that retrogression and re-aging (RRA) heat treatments reduce trade-off between T73 resistance. short-term treatment they used, however, limited applicability RRA thin sections material....
Pair programming is an extreme practice, where two programmers working sided by side on a single computer produce software artifact. This technique has demonstrated to higher quality code in less time it would take individual programmer. We present the COPPER system, synchronous source editor that allows distributed engineers write program using pair programming. implements characteristics of groupware systems such as communication mechanism, collaboration awareness, concurrency control, and...
Several strategies have been identified for designing effective persuasive technologies that encourage people to adopt healthy lifestyle habits. However, there are no general guidelines implementing these motivate elders exercise, neither they evaluated determin
Nowadays, the use of agile methodologies (AM) in Global Software Development (GSD) -- known as AGSD is increasingly common. However, AM and GSD are not completely compatible. On one hand, people interactions (face-to-face) preferred over document-based communications to share knowledge. other knowledge sharing conducted through documents minimize effect inherent four distances (physical, temporal, language cultural). This means that tacit explicit GSD. These differences between affect many...
The lack of face-to-face interaction in Distributed Software Development (DSD) projects is a great obstacle for informal communication, which the way we normally discover more about co-workers along with building trust. Since are attempting to reinforce team spirit and improve trust between co-workers, have analyzed what information software engineers consider be important know their virtual colleagues. In this paper describe preliminary results obtained from study outline features tool,...
Taking care of elders in a nursing home is not an easy task. Caregivers face two major problems: lack awareness the situations surrounding elderly and information regarding availability activities other caregivers to support their coordination process. Various efforts have proposed solutions cope with these problems, but they do it without considering all requirements imposed by criticality this type environment. In paper we propose CANoE, model for design context-aware notifications...
Cotton is one of the most used textiles due to its comfort and breathable nature, but it extremely flammable. To reduce flammability, a polyelectrolyte complex coating composed polyethylenimine (PEI) sodium hexametaphosphate (PSP) deposited in single step. Ammonia as volatile base that evaporates pH induces complexation on cotton surface. coated with 1:2 molar ratio PEI:PSP gains 28 wt % reduces total heat release by 93%, compared neat cotton. The method flame retardant action can be...
The software industry is facing a recent trend called distributed development (DSD), in which teams require continuous support their communication and coordination. However, there lack of tools that actually the coordination DSD activities. Current mechanisms appear to favour issuer an interaction, because context receiver not always considered. In this study, authors introduce selective availability (SA), mechanism with provide information about current activities members team, order...
