In spite of spectacular development of reticulated shells, at least one problem has not yet been solved satisfactorily and that is the problem of buckling. The instability of isolated members is still an open question, while the instability of continuous shells is one of the most instricate problems of structural mechanics. Since reticulated shells have common feature with both lattice structures and shells, the characteristic difficulties of both types of structures are cumulated and amplified. The purpose of this report is to present the state-of-the-art of the buckling problems and the up-to-date bibliography for the reticulated shells. Many valuable theoretical and experimental studies have been carried out. However, from the designer's point of view, the situation cannot be considered satisfactory. It is of prime importance to have information concerning the essential factors influencing the behaviour, presented in the simplest possible form, emphasizing the essence of the phenomena.

In the last few decades there has been a tremendous amount of research on synthetic emotional intelligence related to affective computing that has significantly advanced from the technological point of view that refers to academic studies, systematic learning and developing knowledge and affective technology to a extensive area of real life time systems coupled with their applications. The objective of this paper is to present a general idea on the area of emotional intelligence in affective computing. The overview of the state of the art in emotional intelligence comprises of basic definitions and terminology, a study of current technological scenario. The paper also proposes research activities with a detailed study of ethical issues, challenges with importance on affective computing. Lastly, we present a broad area of applications such as interactive learning emotional systems, modeling emotional agents with an intention of employing these agents in human computer interactions as well as in education.

Since 1984, Graphical User Interfaces have typically relied on visual icons that mimic physical objects like the folder, button, and trash can, or canonical geometric elements like menus, and spreadsheet cells. GUI’s leverage our intuition about the physical environment. But the world can be thought of as being made of stuff as well as things. Making interfaces from this point of view requires a way to simulate the physics of stuff in realtime response to continuous gesture, driven by behavior logic that can be understood by the user and the designer. The author argues for leveraging the corporeal intuition that people learn from birth about heat flow, water, smoke, to develop interfaces at the density of matter that leverage in turn the state of the art in computational physics.

A key challenge to move forward the state of the art in games-based learning systems is to facilitate instructional content creation by the domain experts. Several decades of research on computer aided instruction have demonstrated that the expert has to be deeply involved in the content creation process, and that is why so much effort has been devoted to building authoring tools of all kinds. However, using videogame technology to support computer aided instruction poses some new challenges on expertfriendly authoring tools, related to technical and cost issues. In this chapter the authors present the state of the art in content creation for games-based learning systems, identifying the main challenges to make this technology cost-effective from the content creation point of view.

This chapter provides an overview of the current computational methods for PPI network cleansing. The authors first present the issue of identifying reliable PPIs from noisy and incomplete experimental data. Next, they address the questions of which are the expected results of the different experimental studies, of what can be defined as true interactions, of which kind of data are to be integrated in assigning reliability levels to PPIs and which gold standard should the authors use in training and testing PPI filtering methods. Finally, Marcatili and Tramontano describe the state of the art in the field, presenting the different classes of algorithms and comparing their results. The aim of the chapter is to guide the reader in the choice of the most convenient methods, experiments and integrative data and to underline the most common biases and errors to obtain a portrait of PINs which is not only reliable but as well able to correctly retrieve the biological information contained in such data.

Two recently published collections of articles that provide an overview of the state of the art in applied terminology are discussed from the point of view of two themes recurring throughout them: comparative terminology and knowledge engineering. Comparative terminology is one of the most traditional forms of terminology and is still among the most prevalent practiced today. New necessary approaches to handling problems in this area are outlined. One of the newest areas of research is knowledge-based terminology. The growing interest in exploring the potential benefits of a relationship between terminology and knowledge-engineering methods is shown by the discussion of various articles on this subject.

The state-of-the-art of nonlaminar behavior in bearings is presented. Analytical and experimental studies are discussed. It is pointed out that the basic flow field is still not clearly understood, and that there is much more information needed before design data can be accurately predicted.

This paper in a tabulated summary format discusses the state-of-the-art of Raman spectroscopy for commercially available instrumentation. A comparison to infrared is made in terms of (I) instrumentation, (II) sample handling, and (III) applications. Although the two techniques yield similar and often complementary information, they are quite different from the point of view of instrumentation and sampling procedures. This leads to various advantages and disadvantages or limitations for each. These are discussed as well as the future outlook.

AbstractThe article aims to provide the main conceptual coordinates in order to fully understand the state of the art of the most recent research in the field of neurobiology of interpersonal experience. The main purpose of this work is to analyze, at an anthropological, phenomenological and epistemological level, how the fundamental characteristics of the recognition of otherness and intercorporeity among human beings contribute to changing the image of nature in the light of a possible new relationship between living bodies, neurophysiological systems and empathy. From this point of view, the hypothesis to investigate is that neurophenomenology, understood as a new evolutionary, multidimensional and autopoietic approach, is capable of probing the preconditions of the possible delineation of a phenomenology of intersubjectivity shaped by the neuroscientific turning point, represented by the discovery of mirror neurons. At this level, the neuroscientific data are interpreted according to a specific interdisciplinary perspective, thus trying to offer a possible unitary and integrated theoretical framework.

The concept of investment attractiveness of enterprises and the factors influencing it are considered. The factors of decision–making of investors from the point of view of the expediency of financing enterprises have been determined. The state of enterprises has been investigated in the context of capital investments by types of assets and sources of financing. The international experience of improving investment attractiveness is presented. The catalysts for the development of the level of investment potential have been identified. The ways of increasing the investment attractiveness of enterprises are proposed.

The disorder that is apparent in the literature on inter-organizational relationships makes this field ideal for conducting quantitative studies that clarify the conceptual map and complement existing qualitative research. These latter studies only reflect the point of view of a small number of expert researchers, and hence provide a somewhat biased perspective on inter-organizational relationship research. In this context, a bibliometric study should contribute to giving form to the state of the art. In this chapter, a bibliometric study reveals the theoretical fragmentation of the literature on inter-organizational relationships; maps the most relevant studies and theoretical approaches; and highlights the topics that have been addressed most in this field.
