This paper discusses a particular study that gauges emotion with respect to music by means of an online self-report survey. This is part of the ongoing construct of an intelligent mobile music player application that will adjudicate one's activity, environmental context, and physiological state. The study was structured so as to acquire emotional information by giving each participant a discrete affect word including `happy', `excited', `angry', `afraid', `miserable', `sad', `tired', and `relaxed'. Each affect word that was selected for a given song was corroborated by a degree of intensity using 5-point scale. The fundamental objective of this study was to measure as to how each song could be described emotionally, and how each song made them feel emotionally. Pearson's Chi-Squared concluded that 95% of the ratings for both `described' and `induced' emotions were statistically significant. The corresponding results were scaled to the proposed circular-based emotional model based on Russell's Circumplex model of emotion, by converting both the emotional ratings to polar coordinates. Further analysis of the data subsequently showed that the affect words that represent music could be given some granularity around the perimeter of the circle by expanding upon particular properties of Russell's circular ordering of affect words. Lastly, this paper concludes with a Section that outlines the future work for this research.

The vision of future wireless network is to integrate different wireless access technologies, each with its own characteristics, into a common IP-based core network to provide mobile units (MU) seamless mobility and service continuity. Integration of different types of radio access networks is a challenging task as it requires comprehensive real time interconnectivity at all layers of the network architecture. This paper provides prospects for integrating TV White Space (TVWS) access in 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) core network and describes TVWS Access and Evolved Packet Core (EPC) internetworking architectures. We also define TVWS access specific policies in order to align the new radio access with described internetworking architectures. The paper proposes an interactive framework, cooperation of ETSI's Spectrum Coordinator (SC) and 3GPP's Access Network Discovery and Selection Function (ANDSF) for improving the integration of TVWS access in 3GPP's EPC environment and we evaluate the practical implications of proposed concept in inter system handover scenario against defined TVWS access specific polices.

Connectivity clearly plays an important role in Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, and the efficient handling of mobility is crucial for the overall performance of IoT applications. Currently, the most widely adopted protocols for IoT and Machine to Machine (M2M) environments, namely MQTT, CoAP or LWM2M, are directly dependent on the TCP/IP protocol suite. This suite is highly reliable when using wired networks, but it is not the best solution in the presence of intermittent connections. In this work we provide a solution to improve MQTT with an emphasis on mobile scenarios. The advantage of the solution we propose is making the system more immune to changes in the point of attachment of mobile devices. This way we avoid IoT service developers having to explicitly consider this issue. Moreover, our solution does not need extra support from the network through protocols like MobileIP or LISP. The obtained results show that our proposal, based on intermediate buffering, guarantees that there is no information loss during hand-off periods due to node mobility; furthermore, based on discrete event simulation results, we determine the maximum number of sources and the required amount of buffers for a mobile node.

Collaboration between the arts and the sciences has a long history of tension and antipathy, and also, paradoxically, interdependence. Artists such as Leonardo da Vinci were involved with the creation of artistic works and also novel inventions that were intended to serve a purpose in the natural world. More recently the rapid advances of technology underpinning new media have facilitated both the collaboration of artists in virtual spaces and the use of new media to create, view, and interact with artistic works. Technology and applications are changing the way ideas are formed and the way research is developed and advanced. In addition, the ubiquity of new media has facilitated its use to support and develop a number of application domains. This paper explores the relationship between creativity, collaboration, and artistic works, and their interaction and interplay with social media.

The communication between specialists who use different terminologies based on their expertise is a notable problem in all sectors. When legal professional and business process analyst have to exchange know-how, it is very difficult to find a common vocabulary because the cultural background of the actors is completely different. Moreover, some experts take for granted basic concepts that are not known by other experts or are known with a different semantic meaning, thus creating significant information gaps that affect all analysis tasks. The problem described above is presented in the HSEPGEST project. The project aims to create a coherent information system able to harmonize the many European, national, and local laws and regulations on health, safety, and the environmental protection. The resulting information system implements the concepts present in these laws and regulations and could be easily adapted to the frequent changes of the concepts. This paper proposes some helpful guidelines that will be used by legal professionals. The guidelines can be used as a tool to schematically describe existing laws and regulations in order to make them simpler to understand for business process analysts who will take care of the design of the information system. The guidelines seek, in short, to bridge the skill gap between legal professionals and business process analysts.

An area-efficient hardware architecture is used to map fully parallel cortical columns on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) is presented in this paper. To demonstrate the concept of this work, the proposed architecture is shown at the system level and benchmarked with image and speech recognition applications. Due to the spatio-temporal nature of spiking neurons, this has allowed such architectures to map on FPGAs in which communication can be performed through the use of spikes and signal can be represented in binary form. The process and viability of designing and implementing the multiple recurrent neural reservoirs with a novel multiplier-less reconfigurable architectures is described.

According to a report by World Health Organization [1] there is an estimated 39 million of blind people and about 285 million who are visually impaired. I was motivated to do this research when one day I saw a blind man walking in Holborn alone and asking people for help to cross the road. There is a lot of research in regards to this problem however, it is not enough. Hence, the OARC System was created to help blind people to cross the road and get alerted before they get hit by any obstacles. The OARC System uses makeshift hardware such as Kinect helmet and vibration wrist belt. The OARC System uses Microsoft SAPI and Kinect for Windows API to solve the problem. It is written in Visual Studio C#. Nevertheless, it still is an attempt to solve the problem and I believe this research would be helpful for some other researchers considering similar project.
根据世界卫生组织的一份报告[1]，全球约有3900万盲人和约2.85亿视力受损者。有一天，我看到一个盲人独自走在霍尔本，并请求别人帮助他过马路，于是我就有了做这项研究的动机。关于这一问题的研究很多，但还不够。因此，OARC系统的创建是为了帮助盲人过马路，并在他们被任何障碍物撞到之前得到警报。OARC系统使用临时硬件，如Kinect头盔和振动腕带。OARC系统使用Microsoft SAPI和Kinect for Windows API来解决这个问题。它是用Visual Studio c#编写的。尽管如此，这仍然是解决问题的一种尝试，我相信这项研究对其他考虑类似项目的研究人员有帮助。

In this paper, class F power amplifier covering a wide dynamic range with a steady gain for non-constant envelope signal used in CDMA systems is designed and studied. The design principle is attempted to operate at high values of peak to average power ratio likely to be up to PAPR = 10dB in such systems. The design also takes care of improving the adjacent channels interference ratio (ACPR) of such wide bandwidth systems. Optimal fundamental impedance matching is applied and optimized in parallel of controlling the harmonics. The class F prototype is mounted of FR4 using distributed elements. The amplifier is adopted IEEE 802.11b within an output power range between 16 to 26 dBm and at operated centre frequency 2.45 GHz.

In recent years, the diffusion of online social networks has been facilitated by the introduction of Web 2.0 which, while enabling users to retrieve information on the web, also contributes to the creation of others. The great success obtained by some of them, has contributed to the dissemination of a large number of “content aggregators”, applications that enable users to see, in real-time, social updates coming from different social networks to which they are subscribed, providing them with the possibility to interact with others as if they were actually connected to the social website. Although there are many applications of this type, none of them can visualize integrated statistics related to a set of social profiles provided by the user. The main aims of this work are the study of the reputation problem within social networks, the definition of analysis metrics and models, and the creation of web applications through which registered users may not only view social updates in real-time, but also daily collected statistical data, related to all their social profiles. In particular, a page has been created containing a general overview related to the user selected, resuming all his/her quantitative information collected, as well as, providing “visibility” and “productivity” indicators, and the possibility of visualizing temporal diagrams about his/her social activity carried out on different social networks. This paper begins by providing a background of online social networks. It then goes on to outline the main contribution provided through the realization of the project, describing how the analysis of the data provided by the different social network APIs has been conduced, presenting also the key features of the web application created. Finally, it provides some conclusions about the project, evaluating the results obtained and suggesting some interesting developments that could be done in the future.

Electronic prescribing is the alternative to the current method of manually written prescriptions in hospitals. It has many benefits for those prescribing and dispensing medicines, and also for the maintenance of medical records. The complexity of the use of medications has increased enormously, leading to a greater risk of errors. E-prescribing is less prone to error, it provides a better and more reliable source of information of patients' medication for clinicians, it saves staff time and improves the availability of patients' information when needed: e.g. patients preferences, allergies and diseases suffered. It reduces the time spent by rewriting the charts of prescription and much more. A Case Study carried out at Newham University Hospital (NHS) in London showed that healthcare professionals believed that e-prescribing would benefit the hospital. Fifty-five members of staff at all levels (administrative staff, doctors, nurses and para-medics) were interviewed in June 2014. Analysis of this survey showed that there was considerable support for the idea of an E-prescription system in the hospital. The study concludes that despite some technical and economic hurdles to be surmounted, the benefits of E-prescribing are clear.
