Their vigorous sweeping raises the surface temperature of the ice, thereby reducing its coefficient of friction. The change in ice temperature is dependent on the velocity that curlers sweep the ice, the downward force they apply, and the pattern that is swept. The forces and velocities applied by Olympic level curlers were recorded with an instrumented brush. Laboratory-based rubbing experiments were conducted to determine the temperature rise in ice from sweeping. A numerical model was developed on the basis of the recorded sweeping profiles and laboratory-based rubbing experiments. The model was used to compare the thermal effects of two popular sweeping styles and shows that a conventional low attack angle style is the most efficient.

Doch nach wie vor sind praktische Erfahrungen signifikanter Gr{\"o}{\ss}e rar. Nicolai Josuttis zeigt basierend auf umfangreicher praktischer Erfahrung, wie SOA die Erstellung von komplexen verteilten fachlichen Anwendungen erm{\"o}glicht. Egal, ob Ihr Projekt auf zahlreichen Web-Services-Komponenten aufbaut oder ob Sie Legacy-Anwendungen in Ihren modernen Workflow einbeziehen m{\"o}chten: Sie lernen, ob und wie SOA Ihren Anforderungen gerecht wird. Im ersten Teil des Buchs werden die grundlegenden Konzepte von SOA behandelt. Der zweite Teil er{\"o}rtert praktische Aspekte, die sich auf SOA als Konzept auswirken und f{\"u}r die Einf{\"u}hrung und Durchf{\"u}hrung von SOA wichtig sind.Wed Feb 01 13:07:34 CET 2012ZDM10.1007/s11858-010-0290-591-103Using comics-based representations of teaching, and technology, to bring practice to teacher education courses432011LDG design education learning mathematics practice representation representations teaching This article situates comic-based representations of teaching in the long history of tensions between theory and practice in teacher education. The article argues that comics can be semiotic resources in learning to teach and suggests how information technologies can support experiences with comics in university mathematics methods courses that (a) help learners see the mathematical work of teaching in lessons they observe, (b) allow candidates to explore tactical decision-making in teaching, and (c) support preservice teachers in rehearsing classroom interactions.Fri Jan 27 14:10:42 CET 2012Cities339-350Urban soundscapes- Experiences and knowledge222005Sound and design environment, judgment, planning qualitative quality, survey, urban The aim of the present work is to understand how the use of the notion of soundscapes can help in conceiving ambient sound environments in cities. From an overview of recent studies concerned with assessments of sound phenomena in everyday-life situations, the relevance of the soundscape concept is discussed as structuring the categorical space of sounds in cities. Urban planners have been interviewed concerning the soundscape concept in relation to urban projects. This allows comparisons between acousticians’, city-users’ and planners’ categorizations of urban soundscapes, and suggests that a simple decrease of noise level or the elimination of noises is insufficient to account for urban environment improvement.Thu Jan 26 06:38:23 CET 2012EMSOFTconf/emsoft/201039-48Components, platforms and possibilities: towards generic automation for MDA.2010based design language platform Sat Jan 21 00:49:04 CET 2012New York, NY, USAProceedings of the 11th Biennial Participatory Design Conference179--182PDC '10Seamless integration of collaborative creativity techniques into group process modelling2010collaborative creativity, design groups, modelling, process Thu Jan 19 16:07:53 CET 2012Fifth IEEE International Conference on Wireless, Mobile, and Ubiquitous Technology in Education31-38Combining physical activities and mobile games to promote novel learning practices2008games learning education research technologies social outdoors constructivism haifa-games-course informal ubiquitous based design mobile Mobile outdoor games can be seen as fertile ground for conducting novel learning activities that involve children in different tasks including physical motion, problem solving, inquiry and collaboration; all those are activities that support different cognitive and social aspects of learning. Co-design and human centric design practices have been the focus of current research efforts in the field of educational technologies but not as prevalent in mobile games to support learning. In our current research we are exploring which design methods are appropriate for developing innovative ways of learning supported by mobile games. This paper presents all those aspects related to the design and implementation of a mobile game called Skattjakt (Treasure Hunt in Swedish). The outcome of our activities has provided us with valuable results that can help us to bridge the gap between learning in informal and formal settings. Moreover, we believe that involving children in the design process of mobile games may give us new insights regarding the nature of their learning practices while learning with games.Thu Jan 19 16:04:53 CET 2012Proc. Fifth Annual IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications PerCom '0779--86Designing Ubiquitous Computing Systems for Sports Equipment2007systems equipment, computing, software hardware sports process, iterative computing components, ubiquitous design In this paper, we report on a user-centered, iterative design process for augmenting sports equipment with ubiquitous computing technology. In several design iterations, a fully working system for training and physiotherapy has been developed and deployed using hard- and software components of ubiquitous computing technology. We report on the design and development process that led to this system. Based on our experience we generalize the specific processes to general ubicomp systems. The validity of our approach has been verified by a larger user studyThu Jan 19 16:03:52 CET 2012Berlin, GermanyWorkshop über Selbstorganisierende, adaptive, kontextsensitive verteilte Systeme (SAKS 2010).

The Swedish SF-36 Health Survey and a structured questionnaire designed for trans-femoral amputees were used. The series consisted of 97 subjects (60 men, 37 women), aged 20 to 69 years with a mean of 22 years since the amputation. Trauma was the cause of amputation in 55\%, tumour in 35\% and other causes in 10\%. Ninety-two (92) subjects (95\%) had a prosthesis and 80 (82\%) used it daily. General HRQL was significantly lower than Swedish age- and gender-matched norms in all dimensions as measured by SF-36. Most frequently reported problems that had led to reduction in quality of life were heat/sweating in the prosthetic socket (72\%), sores/skin irritation from the socket (62\%), inability to walk in woods and fields (61\%) and inability to walk quickly (59\%). Close to half were troubled by stump pain (51\%), phantom limb pain (48\%), back pain (47\%) and pain in the other leg (46\%). One fourth considered themselves to have a poor or extremely poor overall situation. Transfemoral amputation, due to non-vascular causes, has an evident impact on quality of life and there are considerable problems related to the amputation and the prosthesis. Efforts to improve the physical and the psychological well-being for this group, with a long life expectancy, are needed.Mon Jan 16 20:11:53 CET 2012FMCOconf/fmco/2007200-225Lecture Notes in Computer ScienceMultiple Viewpoint Contract-Based Specification and Design.53822007based contract design Mon Jan 16 20:10:13 CET 2012HICSSContract-Based Component System Design.2000based contract design Mon Jan 16 14:55:50 CET 2012Berlin, Germany1Design, User Experience, and Usability.

In this perspective, I consider that this may not be the case. Bones may be designed to be very stiff, and therefore highly mineralized, and therefore brittle; they may be adapted to normal loads, but not to the characteristic loads occurring in falls, or may be very poorly designed to stop cracks traveling once they have started. Bones may also potentially fail in completely contrasting modes, and therefore their design has to be a compromise that does not resist either mode completely successfully. The greatly differing fracture incidences in different bones seen in pre-senile adults suggest that safety factors have been adapted, over evolutionary time, to produce the best compromise for a host of different design constraints.designCommunity for tag(s) design
