Scilab-RL: A software framework for efficient reinforcement learning and cognitive modeling research by Jan Benad, Frank Röder, Manfred Eppe

“…One problem with researching cognitive modeling and reinforcement learning (RL) is that researchers spend too much time on setting up an appropriate computational framework for their experiments. Many open source implementations of current RL algorithms exist, but there is a lack of a modular suite of tools combining different robotic simulators and platforms, data visualization, hyperparameter optimization, and baseline experiments. …”

Design and digital transition. New design-driven challenges for techno-social innovation by Salvatore Di Dio, Benedetto Inzerillo, Francesco Monterosso, Dario Russo

“…Starting from theoretical reflections and multidisciplinary contributions, this paper focuses on the strategic importance of techno-social innovation, critically illustrating some significant design-driven experiences that outline innovative lines of development in the field of design research: WASP’s experimental activity (3D printing), Manzini’s reflections on hybrid local communities and cities in chaotic mutation, the projects of hacktivists Persico and Iaconesi on open source artificial intelligence, the experiences of frugal technological innovation with high social impact in the Planet’s most challenging economic, environmental and social contexts, and, finally, the bold projections on the food of the future with the related problematic experiments on production systems and lifestyles. …”

Detecting ROM changes using KINOVEA after muscle decontracture technique by Popa Vlad, Sandor Iosif, Ciocoi-Pop Dumitru Rareș

“…The tool utilised by us to detect changes in ROM were Kinovea, an open-source and free software. After assessing the mobility of the cervical region in a longitudinal axistwice,we used paired T tests to check in every instance what the statistical significance would be.We can conclude that Kinovea was in fact a software that could easily detect ROM alteration. …”

Service mesh technology evaluation and integration scheme based on telecom operator perspective by Liyun YAN, Xinzhang YANG, Zhenwei HE, Yuanzhi LIN, Shaoxin HOU

“…Microservice architecture has evolved along with the changes in enterprise software architecture,from the embedded and integrated micro-service architecture to the non-intrusive and decoupled service mesh.The various of micro-service architectures have sprung up.Choose which microservice architecture to integrate has become an important part of the layout of microservices for the telecom operators.The evaluation and integration of service mesh (non-intrusive architecture) technologies based on the operator’s business characteristics was focused on.In the evaluation,choose the open source,mainstream service mesh technologies and cloud service provider’s microservice solutions were compared and analyzed from multiple dimensions,and the development trend of microservice technology and architecture was obtained.The integration category focused on the integration of Istio technology and Kubernetes which were mainstream technologies in their respective fields,and a heterogeneous microservice framework and development ideas that supported complex scenarios was innovatively proposed.Finally,combined with the differentiated needs of operators’ 5G SBA services,the key research and optimization directions of the operator’s service mesh technology were probed.…”

A Simple, Inexpensive, and Portable Image-Based Technique for Nondestructive Leaf Area Measurements by Shinsuke Agehara, Lillian Pride, Mariel Gallardo, Jose Hernandez-Monterroza

“…Leaf images are then processed and analyzed to measure leaf area using ImageJ, an open-source image processing program. Because both image capture and analysis are performed nondestructively, leaf area can be measured on the same leaf repeatedly, enabling the monitoring of leaf growth over time, as well as photosynthesis and transpiration. …”
