Editorial: Embodied cognition over the lifespan. Theoretical issues and implications for applied settings
The editorial introduces The Special Topic on Embodied Cognition over the Lifespan and in Applied Settings. The Topic aimed at gathering evidence on the role of EC in development, adulthood, and aging, and to shed light on the applied fields benefiting from this approach
Single-channel fits and K-matrix constraints
A K-matrix formalism is used to relate single-channel and multi-channel fits.
We show how the single-channel formalism changes as new hadronic channels
become accessible. These relations are compared to those commonly used to fit
pseudoscalar meson photoproduction data.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures. A numerical example has been adde
Occurence and Luminosity Functions of Giant Radio Halos from Magneto-Turbulent Model
We calculate the probability to form giant radio halos (~ 1 Mpc size) as a
function of the mass of the host clusters by using a Statistical
Magneto-Turbulent Model (Cassano & Brunetti, these proceedings). We show that
the expectations of this model are in good agreement with the observations for
viable values of the parameters. In particular, the abrupt increase of the
probability to find radio halos in the more massive galaxy clusters (M >
2x10^{15} solar masses) can be well reproduced. We calculate the evolution with
redshift of such a probability and find that giant radio halos can be powered
by particle acceleration due to MHD turbulence up to z~0.5 in a LCDM cosmology.
Finally, we calculate the expected Luminosity Functions of radio halos (RHLFs).
At variance with previous studies, the shape of our RHLFs is characterized by
the presence of a cut-off at low synchrotron powers which reflects the
inefficiency of particle acceleration in the case of less massive galaxy
clusters.Comment: 4 pages, to appear in a dedicated issue of the Journal of the Korean

A remark on Einstein warped products
We prove triviality results for Einstein warped products with non-compact
bases. These extend previous work by D.-S. Kim and Y.-H. Kim. The proof, from
the viewpoint of "quasi-Einstein manifolds" introduced by J. Case, Y.-S. Shu
and G. Wei, rely on maximum principles at infinity and Liouville-type theorems.Comment: 12 pages. Corrected typos. Final version: to appear on Pacific J.

Indirect Match Highlights Detection with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks
Highlights in a sport video are usually referred as actions that stimulate
excitement or attract attention of the audience. A big effort is spent in
designing techniques which find automatically highlights, in order to
automatize the otherwise manual editing process. Most of the state-of-the-art
approaches try to solve the problem by training a classifier using the
information extracted on the tv-like framing of players playing on the game
pitch, learning to detect game actions which are labeled by human observers
according to their perception of highlight. Obviously, this is a long and
expensive work. In this paper, we reverse the paradigm: instead of looking at
the gameplay, inferring what could be exciting for the audience, we directly
analyze the audience behavior, which we assume is triggered by events happening
during the game. We apply deep 3D Convolutional Neural Network (3D-CNN) to
extract visual features from cropped video recordings of the supporters that
are attending the event. Outputs of the crops belonging to the same frame are
then accumulated to produce a value indicating the Highlight Likelihood (HL)
which is then used to discriminate between positive (i.e. when a highlight
occurs) and negative samples (i.e. standard play or time-outs). Experimental
results on a public dataset of ice-hockey matches demonstrate the effectiveness
of our method and promote further research in this new exciting direction.Comment: "Social Signal Processing and Beyond" workshop, in conjunction with

Reflections on the future of research curation and research reproducibility
In the years since the launch of the World Wide Web in 1993, there have been profoundly transformative changes to the entire concept of publishing—exceeding all the previous combined technical advances of the centuries following the introduction of movable type in medieval Asia around the year 10001 and the subsequent large-scale commercialization of printing several centuries later by J. Gutenberg (circa 1440). Periodicals in print—from daily newspapers to scholarly journals—are now quickly disappearing, never to return, and while no publishing sector has been unaffected, many scholarly journals are almost unrecognizable in comparison with their counterparts of two decades ago. To say that digital delivery of the written word is fundamentally different is a huge understatement. Online publishing permits inclusion of multimedia and interactive content that add new dimensions to what had been available in print-only renderings. As of this writing, the IEEE portfolio of journal titles comprises 59 online only2 (31%) and 132 that are published in both print and online. The migration from print to online is more stark than these numbers indicate because of the 132 periodicals that are both print and online, the print runs are now quite small and continue to decline. In short, most readers prefer to have their subscriptions fulfilled by digital renderings only
