People's motions or behaviors often ensue from these positive or negative emotions. Set off either subconsciously or intentionally, these fragmentary responses also represent people's emotional vacillations at different times, albeit rarely noted or discovered. This system incorporates affective computing into an interactive installation: While a user is performing an operation, the system instantaneously and randomly generates corresponding musical instrument sound effects and special effects. The system is intended to enable users to interact with emotions through the interactive installation to yield a personalized digital artwork as well learning about how emotions affect the causative factors of consciousness and personal behaviors. At the end of the process, this project design renders three questionnaires for users to fill in as a means to enhance the integrity and richness of the system with a survey and to further increase the stability and precision of the system through progressive modifications aligned with user suggestions.

In this paper, we present a multimodal dataset for affective computing research acquired in a human-computer interaction (HCI) setting. An experimental mobile and interactive scenario was designed and implemented based on a gamified generic paradigm for the induction of dialog-based HCI relevant emotional and cognitive load states. It consists of six experimental sequences, inducing Interest, Overload, Normal, Easy, Underload, and Frustration. Each sequence is followed by subjective feedbacks to validate the induction, a respiration baseline to level off the physiological reactions, and a summary of results. Further, prior to the experiment, three questionnaires related to emotion regulation (ERQ), emotional control (TEIQue-SF), and personality traits (TIPI) were collected from each subject to evaluate the stability of the induction paradigm. Based on this HCI scenario, the University of Ulm Multimodal Affective Corpus (uulmMAC), consisting of two homogenous samples of 60 participants and 100 recording sessions was generated. We recorded 16 sensor modalities including 4 × video, 3 × audio, and 7 × biophysiological, depth, and pose streams. Further, additional labels and annotations were also collected. After recording, all data were post-processed and checked for technical and signal quality, resulting in the final uulmMAC dataset of 57 subjects and 95 recording sessions. The evaluation of the reported subjective feedbacks shows significant differences between the sequences, well consistent with the induced states, and the analysis of the questionnaires shows stable results. In summary, our uulmMAC database is a valuable contribution for the field of affective computing and multimodal data analysis: Acquired in a mobile interactive scenario close to real HCI, it consists of a large number of subjects and allows transtemporal investigations. Validated via subjective feedbacks and checked for quality issues, it can be used for affective computing and machine learning applications.

The sedimentation deformation of superhigh fill in the mountainous areas is very complicated in law, and will be influenced the topographic relief, and it is specially outstanding for the sedimentation of high-fill project. For the significant project such as airport and road base, in order to guarantee the safe operation of the project during use, it is required to strictly control the post-construction and uneven sedimentation. Therefore, the stability of superhigh fill has become the key to influence the safety and stable operation of projects. In this paper, a simulated calculation is conducted to the ultrahigh fill of expansion project of an airport in Chongqing to analyze its stability, so as to provide references for the project design and construction.

Even though culture has been found to play some role in negative emotion expression, affective computing research primarily takes on a basic emotion approach when analyzing social signals for automatic emotion recognition technologies. Furthermore, automatic negative emotion recognition systems still train data that originates primarily from North America and contains a majority of Caucasian training samples. As such, the current study aims to address this problem by analyzing what the differences are of the underlying social signals by leveraging machine learning models to classify 3 negative emotions, contempt, anger and disgust (CAD) amongst 3 different cultures: North American, Persian, and Filipino. Using a curated data set compiled from YouTube videos, a support vector machine (SVM) was used to predict negative emotions amongst differing cultures. In addition a one-way ANOVA was used to analyse the differences that exist between each culture group in-terms of level of activation of underlying social signal. Our results not only highlighted the significant differences in the associated social signals that were activated for each culture, but also indicated the specific underlying social signals that differ in our cross-cultural data sets. Furthermore, the automatic classification methods showed North American expressions of CAD to be well-recognized, while Filipino and Persian expressions were recognized at near chance levels.

This research aims to develop a cyber-physical adaptive architectural space capable of real-time responses to people’s emotions, based on biological and neurological data. To achieve this goal, we integrated artificial intelligence (AI), wearable technology, sensory environments, and adaptive architecture to create an emotional bond between a space and its occupants and encourage affective emotional interactions between the two. The project’s objectives were to (1) measure and analyze biological and neurological data to detect emotions, (2) map and illustrate that emotional data, and (3) link occupants’ emotions and cognition to a built environment through a real-time emotive feedback loop. Using an interactive installation as a case study, this work examines the cognition-emotion-space interaction through changes in volume, color, and light as a means of emotional expression. It contributes to the current theory and practice of cyber-physical design and the role AI plays, as well as the interaction of technology and empathy.

Chapter 4 discusses the musical underscore in The Wizard of Oz. Contemporary discourse on the musical soundtrack has emphasized its role in underscoring—literally and figuratively—the film’s extraordinary content, often stressing its “special” and “effect”-like qualities. Studio publicists plugged the score’s idiosyncratic length and complexity, and Herbert Stothart also drew connections between music and elaborate illusions: “music and sound must be highly imaginative, unreal while super-realistic. Here sounds must stir the fantasy. . . . The difficulty is to blend music and the special sound effects.” Elsewhere Stothart averred that the striking hues of Technicolor warranted special musical treatment. From studio records, contemporary newspaper accounts, the conductor’s score, and the film itself, musical gestures are identified in the underscore that work as and in tandem with special effects.

In this paper, vibratory synchronization transmission of two cylindrical rollers (CRs) with dry friction in a vibrating system excited by two co-rotating exciters is investigated. By virtue of the averaging method of modified small parameters, the synchronization criterion for two exciters and the criterion of vibratory synchronization transmission for two cylindrical rollers are obtained. The stability criterion of synchronous state is acquired based on the Routh–Hurwitz criterion. The effects of system parameters on the ability of synchronization, vibratory synchronization transmission and stability, are quantitatively discussed, which provide a theoretical basis for the project design. Finally, an experiment on a corresponding vibratory synchronization transmission bench is performed to examine the results of the theoretical analysis and numerical discussion. Experimental results will show good agreement with the numerical results. In engineering, certain types of vibratory crusher or vibratory mill can be developed according to the vibratory synchronization transmission theory of two cylindrical rollers.

The aim of this paper is to discuss the emotional plane in the context of the formation of leadership asymmetry, especially the instrumental use of grudge and resentment by a leader in the process of political leadership. The starting point to explaining the instrumentalisation of the affective sphere in politics, interpreted as a source of political leadership, will be the critical argumentation in relation to the assumptions of the theory of rational choice about the stability and predictability of political process. This article attempts a critical look at the rationality of leadership practices in politics, where it is emphasized that the individual and collective structures – including collective identities – of beliefs on which the leadership process is formed, consolidated and based, are not permanent, but increasingly dependent on irrational manipulative strategies. Hence, this paper will analyse the mechanism of creating or reactivating negative emotions by the leader in a given cultural and structural environment as the reasons for the emergence and legitimacy of supra-individual resentment or the functioning of class resentment, which translates into the escalation of hostility in a stratified society, as well as into followers’ receptivity; more broadly – into the form and shape of effective political leadership.

By the increasing of the population and the economic structural development, the need of land for non-agricultural activities are likely to rise. This phenomenon leads a conversion of agricultural land, especially the unavoidable paddy. The causative factors of agricultural land conversion are: (1) Population; (2) The need of non-agricultural soil; (3) Economy; (4) Socio-cultural; (5) Autonomous Region; and (6) Lack of regulation. The Impacts of this conversion not only threatening food security but also interfering the stability of the economy, social, political, and development of the general population. There are three ways in controlling the use of land, they are: (1) Regulation; (2) Acquisition and management, those are perfecting the system and rules of land selling and the perfection of land tenure patterns (Land Tenure system) in supporting efforts towards maintaining agricultural land; and (3) Incentive and charges.Keywords: Agricultural land conversion, Food Security, Land Tenure System
