Vaidya Kanda - A unique 18th century classical text of Ayurveda in Kannada
No full textVaidyakanda is a text in Kannada authored by Bommaiah probably belonging to the 18th Century AD which can be considered as a gist of Brihatrayis as declared by the author himself in the Pre colophon. The text presents in the order of Dinacharya, Ritucharya, Maana Paribhasha, Arishta Lakshanas, Nidanas of Vyadhis and it’s Chikitsa in a brief manner. The text consists of 923 Padyas (Stanzas) which are presented in the form of Kanda style of classical Kannada writing. The author of Vaidyakanda is Brahma or Bommaiah. The initial stanzas of the text indicate the author as Brahma. The end of Tritiyadala and post colophon refers Bommaiah as the author. Karnataka Kavicharite has attributed Brahma or Bommaiah to 1750 AD. It can be observed that the text seems to be a practical handbook for a local practitioner with commonly encountered diseases and conditions among folk. The author being a poet has presented the whole text in Kanda Padya form making the difficult and complex concepts easily understandable by the learners of Ayurveda. The simple translation of the verses given in Kannada language makes the reader more comfortable and the English translation will cater to the readers at large

A mesoscopic model for the effect of density on pedestrian group dynamics
No full textWe introduce a mesoscopic model of pedestrian group behaviour, in which the internal
group dynamics is modelled using a microscopic potential, while the effect of the environment is
modelled using a harmonic term whose intensity depends on a macroscopic quantity, crowd density.
We show that, in order to properly describe the behaviour of 2-person groups, the harmonic term
is directed orthogonally to the walking direction, and its intensity grows linearly with density. We
also show that, once calibrated on 2-person groups, the model correctly predicts the velocity and
spatial extension of 3-person groups in the walking direction, while in order to describe properly
also the abreast extension of 3-person groups a modification in the microscopic group dynamics has
to be introduced. The model also correctly predicts the presence of a bifurcation phenomenon,
namely the emergence of a stable 3-person Λ configuration at high densities, while only the V
formation is stable at low densities
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

People's V-Formation and Side-by-Side Model Adapted to Accompany Groups of People by Social Robots
No full textThis paper presents a new method to allow robots to accompany a person or a group of people imitating pedestrians behavior. Two-people groups usually walk in a side-by-side formation and three-people groups walk in a V- formation so that they can see each other. For this reason, the proposed method combines a Side-by-side and V-formation pedestrian model with the Anticipative Kinodynamic Planner (AKP). Combining these methods, the robot is able to do an anticipatory accompaniment of groups of humans, as well as to avoid static and dynamic obstacles in advance, while keeping the prescribed formations. The proposed framework allows also a dynamical re-positioning of the robot, if the physical position of the partners change in the group formation. Furthermore, people have a randomness factor that the robot has to manage, for that reason, the system was adapted to deal with changes in people’s velocity, orientation and occlusions. Finally, the method has been validated using synthetic experiments and real-life experiments with our Tibi robot. In addition, a user study has been realized to reveal the social acceptability of the method
