Combining the Knowledge Appropriation Model and epistemic networks to understand co-creation and adoption of learning designs using log data

Denis Gillet, Maria Jesus Rodriguez Triana

Social practices are well-known mediators in the adoption of educational innovations during professional learning, as postulated by the Knowledge Appropriation Model (KAM). However, understanding how teachers adopt new pedagogical approaches at scale is of ...

Effect of tool-use observation on metric body representation and peripersonal space

Matteo Franza

In everyday life, we constantly act and interact with objects and with others' people through our body. To properly perform actions, the representations of the dimension of body-parts (metric body representation, BR) and of the space surrounding the body ( ...

Strategies to modulate zebrafish collective dynamics with a closed-loop biomimetic robotic system

Francesco Mondada, Alexey Gribovskiy, Frank Bonnet

The objective of this study is to integrate biomimetic robots into small groups of zebrafish and to modulate their collective behaviours. A possible approach is to have the robots behave like sheepdogs. In this case, the robots would behave like a differen ...

Gel-Based Soft Interfaces for Fastener Manipulation in Robotic Agile Assembly

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Kieran Daniel Gilday

Robotic manufacturing is increasingly moving towards one-off assembly tasks. Agile manufacturing systems must be able to adapt to changing parts and designs. The addition of a soft interface, between a picking tool and a part, can improve the performance a ...

Analysis of the interaction factor method for energy pile groups with slab

Lyesse Laloui, Elena Ravera, Melis Sütman

The design of energy pile is hampered by the complex interaction between the piles and the slab subjected to thermal loads. Although finite element analysis is used to account explicitly for the interactions, this method is mainly considered as a research ...

Exploring the Extent in the Visual Field of the Honeycomb and Extinction Illusions

Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud

There are situations in which what is perceived in central vision is different to what is perceived in the periphery, even though the stimulus display is uniform. Here, we studied two cases, known as the Extinction illusion and the Honeycomb illusion, invo ...

Tailoring patient‐specific treatments for cancer is necessary in order to achieve optimal results but requires new diagnostic approaches at affordable prices. Microfluidics has immense potential to provide solutions for this, as it enables the processing o ...
