New York State's Recycling Agricultural Plastics Project (RAPP): Hurdles and High Points
No full textThe Northeast United States supports a vibrant and diversified agriculture that generates lots of different types of plastic waste.
This presentation focuses on logistical decision points in developing a sustainable recycling infrastructure and viable recycling markets suited for agriculture and non-organic agricultural wastes.
The Recycling Agricultural Plastics Project (RAPP) is a Cornell University initiative working in collaboration with agricultural producers, and with organizations, agencies and businesses that support agriculture, environmental protection, regional economic development and recycling

RAPP: A Robotic-Oriented Ecosystem for Delivering Smart User Empowering Applications for Older People
No full textInternational audienceIt is a general truth that increase of age is associated with a level of mental and physical decline but unfortunately the former are often accompanied by social exclusion leading to marginalization and eventually further acceleration of the aging process. A new approach in alleviating the social exclusion of older people involves the use of assistive robots. As robots rapidly invade everyday life, the need of new software paradigms in order to address the user's unique needs becomes critical. In this paper we present a novel architectural design, the RAPP [a software platform to deliver smart, user empowering robotic applications (RApps)] framework that attempts to address this issue. The proposed framework has been designed in a cloud-based approach, integrating robotic devices and their respective applications. We aim to facilitate seamless development of RApps compatible with a wide range of supported robots and available to the public through a unified online store

The new species can be distinguished from other Scoloplax by the following unique features: ventral midline plates between the anus and caudal peduncle with two longitudinal parallel rows of odontodes not covered by skin; pectoral and pelvic fins with all rays simple, unbranched; larger specimens with odontodes in abdominal area between pelvic-fin bases and immediately anterior to genital papilla; mesethmoid with thickened triangular anterior process; and larger specimens with small odontodes on first and second pelvic-fin rays. Description. Morphometrics given in Table 1. Small size, 10.5- 17.2 mm SL. Head and body strongly depressed. Dorsal profile of head and predorsal area nearly straight except for shallow depression at posterior tip of rostral plate. Body profile straight between dorsal and caudal fins. Snout rounded in dorsal view. Head with series of odontodes forming lateral ridge from orbit to posterior pterotic-supracleithrum spine. Small bony plate located immediately lateral to lateral ethmoid and just anterior to orbit [“lateral ethmoid plate” sensu Schaefer (1990)] bearing three to five odontodes near posterior margin (Fig. 3). Rostral plate bearing 14-24 recurved odontodes. Eye dorsal and conspicuous. Mouth small, terminal. Maxillary barbel biramous, major ramus elongate, reaching base of pectoral-fin spine; minor ramus short, not reaching base of pectoral-fin spine. Mental barbel uniramous, origin anterior to gular fold and posterior to mandibular symphysis. Mandibular barbel uniramous, origin at corner of mouth. Small platelet at distal tip of rib on sixth vertebra bearing 3-16 small odontodes. Odontodes present on posterior coracoid process. Mesethmoid with a thickened triangular anterior process (Figs. 3, 4e). Four branchiostegal rays. Dorsal fin with spinelet, spine and three soft branched rays. Dorsal spine with small odontodes. Locking mechanism present. Pectoral fin with well-developed spine and four unbranched rays. Pectoral spine completely covered with small odontodes and with few small serrations along posterior margin from mid-length to distal tip; locking mechanism present. Pelvic fin with four unbranched rays; first ray thicker and with odontodes. In larger specimens the second pelvic-fin ray bears a few small odontodes.Anal fin with five to six rays. First ray unbranched, thickened and bearing odontodes, followed by three to four branched rays and with the last ray unbranched. Caudal fin with 11 rays; outer rays unbranched and bearing small odontodes. Nine principal inner rays branched near tips. Procurrent caudal-fin rays absent. Dorsolateral plates 16-17, extending posteriorly from base of last dorsal-fin ray to caudal peduncle. Ventrolateral plates 8-9. Ventral midline plates 4-6, bearing odontodes along lateral margins forming two longitudinal rows (Fig. 5). Total vertebrae 25-27 (n=10). Coloration. Body overall brownish, more pigmented laterally with wide longitudinal dark brown stripe along lower region of trunk from pectoral to caudal fin (Figs. 1-2). Mid-ventral plate series less pigmented. Dorsal part of body pale except for three narrow dark saddles. First saddle faint, at dorsal fin origin; other two saddles darker and evenly spaced between dorsal and caudal fins. Ventral portion of body pale, creamcolored, sometimes with dark pigment concentrated along lateral edges and more diffuse pigment across abdomen. Dorsal fin darkly pigmented along base and hyaline distally. Pectoral fin largely hyaline except for dark spots clustered in spear-like submarginal band. Pelvic fin largely hyaline except for faint dark submarginal band. Anal fin with two thin dark transverse bands, one near base and the other near mid-length. Base of caudal fin with dark brown spot extending anteriorly onto caudal peduncle. Remaining caudal fin hyaline except for dark pigment forming blotchy subterminal distal band. Distribution. Scoloplax baskini was found among leaf litter in small clearwater tributaries of the middle part of rioAripuanã, a right-bank tributary of the middle rio Madeira (Fig. 6). Etymology. Species name in honor of Jonathan Baskin for his significant contributions to Neotropical ichthyology including the description of the genus Scoloplax.Published as part of Rocha, Marcelo Salles, Oliveira, Renildo Ribeiro de & Rapp Py-Daniel, Lúcia H., 2008, Scoloplax baskini: a new spiny dwarf catfish from rio Aripuanã, Amazonas, Brazil (Loricarioidei: Scoloplacidae), pp. 323-328 in Neotropical Ichthyology 6 (3) on pages 324-325, DOI: 10.1590/S1679-62252008000300005, http://zenodo.org/record/541972
