The Virtual Reality Experience and Leisure Experience of Screen Horse Riding Participants: from the ‘Simulation’ point of view by Boudrillard

This study aims to gain depth understanding of the virtual reality experience experienced by screen riding, to analyze in depth and interpret from the perspective of Boudrillard through a subjective and subjective perspective of leisure users. In this study, after learning about the experience of virtual reality symbols built into them through screen riding, the leisure experience of screen riding participants was further identified. The double-checking results are as follows. First, experience in the virtual reality of screen riding can be described as a fusion of virtual reality symbols and experiences. The virtual reality symbols inherent in screen riding are expressed as spatial symbols, behavioral symbols, and contents, and the fusion of experience means a transcendental and a transformative environment. Second, screen riding was a derivative of the study that enabled participants to enter horseback riding more easily and to continue with leisure activities, also to help with posture correction, constipation, diet, and Kegel exercise. thereby enhancing fun and desire for horseback riding. In the study, participants were focusing on subjective feelings arising from the experience of horseback riding, and they stated that the body's sensory stimuli increased the quality of life and felt happy. In this study, the leisure activities are satisfied with the simulacra which can replace reality according to the subjective viewpoint of the leisure experiencer and the reflection of personal circumstances in the virtual reality of screen riding sports which is IT fusion. In the future, It is necessary to study the consumption patterns and the popularity of the emerging virtual reality sports since various virtual reality sports are becoming popular and are being built into the culture of life.

Nucleon structure from 2+1 flavor lattice QCD near the physical point

We present an update on our results of nucleon form factors measured on a large-volume lattice (8:1fm)4 at almost the physical point in 2+1 flavor QCD. The configurations are generated with the stout-smeared O(a) improved Wilson quark action and Iwasaki gauge action at β = 1:82, which corresponds to the lattice spacing of 0.085 fm. The pion mass at the simulation point is about 145 MeV. We determine the isovector electric radius and magnetic moment from nucleon electric (GE) and magnetic (GM) form factors. We also report on preliminary results of the axial-vector (FA), induced pseudo-scalar (FP) and pseudo-scalar (GP) form factors in order to verify the axial Ward-Takahashi identity in terms of the nucleon matrix elements, which may be called as the generalized Goldberger-Treiman relation.

Adaptation to flooding and mitigating impacts of road construction − a framework to identify practical steps to counter climate change

Adaptation and mitigation are the two critical actions that are needed to counter the looming threats of climate change on transportation. For roadways, flooding constitutes one of the most important impacts of climate change, and adaptation to build more resilient roadways must be made. For a proper adaptation, the first step is a way to properly assess the vulnerability of roadways to flooding. Road construction impacts the environment negatively through emissions and energy consumption, and a proper way to determine the practical methods to reduce the impact is also necessary. This paper presents a framework to assess the vulnerability of roadways to flooding and evaluate the impact of different changes in construction on energy consumption and emission. Two system dynamics based models were developed and results of the simulations have been presented. Simulation tools for these two models have also been developed and made available on the public domain. The results of the simulation point out the beneficial effects of providing low permeability and dense and thick surface layers to reduce vulnerability to flooding and that of using drier aggregates, reducing heat losses, reduced mix temperatures and extension of pavement lives on the emission and energy consumption during roadway construction.

A Numerical Approach on New Constitutive Model for Thixotropic Substances

The thixotropic substances can be found in different industrial sectors, such as chemical, biomedical, manufacturing and oil. These substances show a rheological time-dependent behavior, dependent of their structural level. Generally, a constitutive model for the thixotropic substances is composed by a pair of coupled equations: the constitutive equation (based on viscoelastic models) and the rate equation (that describes the structural evolution). In many works presented in the specialized literature, the shear modulus and viscosity dependencies with the structural nature are not formally considered in the dynamical principles from that the constitutive equation is originated. In the present work, a new, thermodynamically consistent, constitutive model for thixotropic substances, where such dependences are considered, is presented and some rheological tests are analyzed in a numerical simulation point of view (code developed in MATLAB). The constitutive model is based on Jeffreys’ model and the coagulation theory of Smoluchowsky.
