Gesture based word (re)acquisition with a virtual agent in augmented reality: A preliminary study
No full textFrom an evolutionary perspective, language and gesture belong together
as a system, serving communication on both an abstract and a physical level. In
aphasia, when language is impaired, patients make use of gestures. Laboratory
research has provided evidence that gesture can support aphasia rehabilitation, or
more specifically, anomia rehabilitation. Here, we test an anomia gesture-based
rehabilitation scenario with a virtual trainer (VT) in augmented reality (AR) as a
therapy simulation. Thirty German-speaking participants were trained on 27 biand
three-syllabic words of Vimmi, an artificial language. Each Vimmi word was
paired to a function word in German. The participants were divided into two
Groups of 15 and 15 persons. Group A learned word pairs by observing the
gestures performed by the VT and additionally imitating them. Group B learned 27
word-pairs by observing the VT standing still and listening to them. Participants
were trained singularly for 3 days, alternating one day of training with one day of
rest for memory consolidation. Word retention was assessed immediately after
each training session by means of free and cued recall tests administered
electronically. Group A and Group B did not differ in word retention. When
subdividing participants in high and low performers, interactions showed that high
performers benefitted more from gesture-based training than low performers. The
data in this preliminary study do not speak in favour of VTs as possible tools in
gesture-based AR language rehabilitation. Technology might have, in this case,
detrimental effects on word learning
Finite formulation of nonlinear magnetostatics with integral boundary conditions
No full textThis paper describes two hybrid methods coupling finite formulation of electromagnetic fields (FFEF) in a bounded domain to integral boundary conditions taking into account far field conditions. The two hybrid techniques use different boundary conditions: the first formulation is based on Green's function applied to magnetization source inside bounded domain while the other one is based on a boundary-element method on its external surface. Details about the coupling terms are given and handling of different magnetization sources is described, including the fictitious magnetization sources coming from nonlinear solutions. The proposed methods are validated versus different benchmark cases. Comparisons between the two techniques have been performed using different criteria (accuracy and convergence, memory requirements, etc.

No full textDecision plots for preliminary design of single-shield TBMs
No full textIn this note a procedure for a back-of-the-envelope estimation of the correct length of a single-shielded TBM is reported in the context of a TBM preliminary design phase. It is based on four Decision Plots (DPs) and some associated equations, whose input data are the isotropic in-situ stress, the rock mechanical parameters, the maximum tolerated over-excavation and the shield skin friction coefficient. The essential output is the friction force the machine must overcome (the required thrust force), that can be compared with the available thrust force. The derivation of the DPs is illustrated and their practical use shown. Although the procedure involves some simplifying approximations, its performance is confirmed through two application examples and a comparison with the results obtained using design monograms of other authors
