1. Lateralization Effects in Electrodermal Activity Data Collected Using Wearable Devices 

   Alchieri, Leonardo; Abdalazim, Nouran; Alecci, Lidia; et al. (2024)

   PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACM ON INTERACTIVE MOBILE WEARABLE AND UBIQUITOUS TECHNOLOGIES-IMWUT

   Electrodermal activity (EDA) is a physiological signal that can be used to infer humans' affective states and stress levels. EDA can nowadays be monitored using unobtrusive wearable devices, such as smartwatches, and leveraged in personal informatics systems. A still largely uncharted issue concerning EDA is the impact on real applications of potential differences observable on signals measured concurrently on the left and right side of ...

2. Computational Smocking through Fabric-Thread Interaction 

   Zhou, Ningfeng; Ren, Jing; Sorkine-Hornung, Olga (2024)

   Computer Graphics Forum

   We formalize Italian smocking, an intricate embroidery technique that gathers flat fabric into pleats along meandering lines of stitches, resulting in pleats that fold and gather where the stitching veers. In contrast to English smocking, characterized by colorful stitches decorating uniformly shaped pleats, and Canadian smocking, which uses localized knots to form voluminous pleats, Italian smocking permits the fabric to move freely along ...

3. Syntrophy between fermentative and purple phototrophic bacteria to treat and valorize carbohydrate-rich wastewaters 

   Cerruti, Marta; Crosset-Perrotin, Guillaume; Ananth, Mythili; et al. (2023)

   Bioresource Technology Reports

   Fermentative chemoorganoheterotrophic bacteria (FCB) and purple photoorganoheterotrophic bacteria (PPB) are two interesting microbial guilds to process carbohydrate-rich wastewaters. Their metabolic interactions have been studied in pure cultures or co-cultures, but little is known about mixed cultures. We studied the effect of reactor regimes (batch/chemostat) and illumination modes (continuous infrared light, dark, or light/dark cycles) ...

4. Body-Area Capacitive or Electric Field Sensing for Human Activity Recognition and Human-Computer Interaction: A Comprehensive Survey 

   Bian, Sizhen; Liu, Mengxi; Zhou, Bo; et al. (2024)

   PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACM ON INTERACTIVE MOBILE WEARABLE AND UBIQUITOUS TECHNOLOGIES-IMWUT

   Due to the fact that roughly sixty percent of the human body is essentially composed of water, the human body is inherently a conductive object, being able to, firstly, form an inherent electric field from the body to the surroundings and secondly, deform the distribution of an existing electric field near the body. Body-area capacitive sensing, also called body-area electric field sensing, is becoming a promising alternative for wearable ...

5. Hydro-Geomechanical Observations During Multistage Hydraulic Stimulation at the Bedretto Underground Laboratory, Switzerland 

   Bröker, Kai; Ma, Xiaodong; Gholizadeh Doonechaly, Nima; et al. (2023)

   Proceedings of the 57th U.S. Rock Mechanics/Geomechanics Symposium

   A series of hydraulic stimulation experiments were performed in the Bedretto Underground Laboratory for Geosciences and Geoenergies in Switzerland to answer questions about the creation of an engineered geothermal reservoir in crystalline rocks. A 400 m long stimulation borehole was divided into 15 intervals by a multi-packer system. In this work, we present preliminary results of interval 8 in which two injection phases were performed ...
