The population of elderly people keeps increasing rapidly, which becomes a predominant aspect our societies. As such, solutions both efficacious and cost-effective need to be sought. Ambient assisted living (AAL) is new approach promises address the needs from people. intelligence technologies are widely developed in this domain aiming construct safe environments around peoples help them maintain independent living. However, there still many fundamental issues AAL that remain open. Most...
Recent advances in pervasive technologies, such as wireless ad hoc networks and wearable sensor devices, allow the connection of everyday things to Internet, commonly denoted Internet Things (IoT). IoT is seen an enabler development intelligent context-aware services applications. These could dynamically react environment changes users' preferences. The main aim make life more comfortable according their locations, current requirements, ongoing activities. However, handling dynamic frequent...
We present the kinematics of hundreds open clusters, based on UCAC2 Catalogue positions and proper motions. Membership probabilities were obtained for stars in cluster fields by applying a statistical method uses stellar All clusters with known distance investigated, 75 this is first determination mean motion. The results, including DSS images cluster's kinematic members marked, are incorporated Open Clusters supported line our group.

We introduce fractal social organizations—a novel class of socio‐technical complex systems characterized by a distributed, bio‐inspired, hierarchical architecture. Based on same building block that is recursively applied at different layers, said provide homogeneous way to model collective behaviors complexity and scale. Key concepts principles are enunciated means case study simple formalism. As preliminary evidence the adequacy assumptions underlying our here, we define an algebraic for...
We introduce a model of the fidelity open systems—fidelity being interpreted here as compliance between corresponding figures interest in two separate but communicating domains. A special case is given by real-timeliness and synchrony, which figure physical system's notion time. Our covers orthogonal aspects fidelity, first one focusing on steady state second capturing that dynamic behavioural characteristics. discuss how correspond respectively to elasticity resilience we highlight each...
The conjecture is put forward that a better understanding of resilience may be reached by decomposing it into number ancillary constituent properties, in the same way as insight system dependability was obtained breaking down safety, availability, reliability, and other sub-properties. Three main sub-properties proposed here refer respectively to ability perceive environmental changes; understand implications introduced those plan enact adjustments intended improve system–environment fit. A...
The debate around optimal target dose for first-line antidepressants (ADs) is still ongoing. Along this line, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) represents one of the most promising tools to improve clinical outcome. Nevertheless, a few data exist regarding concentration-effect relationship ADs which limits TDM implementation in routine practice. We conducted first patient-level concentration-response mega-analysis including acquired by us previously and explored concentration dependency AD...
Abstract Recent research suggests that embodiment sensations (sense of body ownership and sense agency) are altered in schizophrenia. Using a mirror box illusion setup, we tested if the anomalous experience depends on deficient processing visuomotor synchrony, disrupted movement mode, or both. The task required participants to press lever with their index while looking at image experimenter’s hand moving similar lever. could arise because toward direction own participant saw reflection...
We propose a simple and effective tool for the expression of tasks such as cross-layer optimization strategies or sensors-related applications. The approach is based on what we refer to "reflective refractive variables''. Both types variables are associated with external entities, e.g. sensors actuators. A reflective variable volatile variable, that is, might be concurrently modified by multiple threads. library threads made available, each which interfaces set continuously update value...
Elder people are becoming a predominant aspect of our societies. As such, solutions both efficacious and cost-effective need to be sought. The approach pursued so far solve this problem used increase the number working in health sector, e.g. doctors, nurses, etc. This increases costs, which is big burden for countries. In paper we propose new concept management elder people, name as "participant". We "participant" encourage participate those group activities that they able to. Their roles...
Software components are expected to exhibit highly dependable characteristics in mission-critical applications, particularly the areas of reliability and timeliness. Redundancy-based fault-tolerant strategies have long been used as a means avoid disruption service provided by system spite occurrence failures underlying components. Adopting these fault-tolerance dynamic distributed computing systems, which often suffer from response times or temporary unavailability, does not necessarily...
Nowadays, more and applications require OSGi to have some forms of real-time support, which is currently very limited. The resulting ad-hoc solutions forbid standard, system-wide policies for system's adaptation, reconfiguration. In order tackle this problem, paper proposes a declarative component model. model, the distinguishing contract each declaratively described, general management interface designed. They are used maintain an accurate view existing components' promised contracts. A...
Abstract Background In recent years, the identification of peripheral biomarkers that are associated with psychiatric diseases, such as Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), has become relevant because these may improve efficiency differential diagnosis process and indicate targets for new antidepressant drugs. Two candidate genes, ErbB3 Fgfr1 , growth factors whose mRNA levels have been found to be altered in leukocytes patients affected by bipolar disorder a depressive state. On this basis, aim...
