The CANDOR corpus: Insights from a large multimodal dataset of naturalistic conversation.

People spend a substantial portion of their lives engaged in conversation, and yet, our scientific understanding of conversation is still in its infancy. Here, we introduce a large, novel, and multimodal corpus of 1656 conversations recorded in spoken English. This 7+ million word, 850-hour corpus totals more than 1 terabyte of audio, video, and transcripts, with moment-to-moment measures of vocal, facial, and semantic expression, together with an extensive survey of speakers' postconversation reflections.

Laboratory and Analytical Device Standard (LADS): A Communication Standard Based on OPC UA for Networked Laboratories.

In a similar vein to Industry 4.0 in manufacturing industries, digitisation is making inroads in the laboratory industry in the form of Laboratory 4.0, or networked laboratories.

Application of open-path Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy for atmospheric monitoring of a CO back-production experiment at the Ketzin pilot site (Germany).

During a controlled "back-production experiment" in October 2014 at the Ketzin pilot site, formerly injected CO was retrieved from the storage formation and directly released to the atmosphere via a vent-off stack. Open-path Fourier transform infrared (OP FTIR) spectrometers, on-site meteorological parameter acquisition systems, and distributed CO point sensors monitored gas dispersion processes in the near-surface part of the atmospheric boundary layer. The test site provides a complex and challenging mosaic-like surface setting for atmospheric monitoring which can also be found at other storage sites.

Stereological reconstruction of polycrystalline materials.

Laguerre tessellations are suitable models for many polycrystalline materials. In this work, we present a reconstruction-based approach to fit a spatial Laguerre tessellation model to a plane section of a cellular material under the condition that one section of the model resembles the observed section of the material. To account for this special requirement, we introduce a novel Euclidean distance-based criterion for the model fitting.

[Shear fracture stress of the spongiosa and pressure fracture stress of cortical bone of cadaveric vertebrae].

By biomechanic examinations of the vertebrae of human dead bodies the ultimate stress due to shearing (Schubbruchspannung) of the spongy substance could be found out with 1.80 N/mm2 and the ultimate stress due to compression (Druckbruchspannung) of the cortical-belonging to the thick of cortical--with 280 N/mm2. Both measuring results are important for the ultimate strength of the connection (Verankerungsfestigkeit) of screws in vertebae.
