13TH INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGY, EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE (INTED2019)
Abstract
Audiovisual didactic content has been in recent years disseminated, in the Physics domain, mainly through YouTube platform. Many aspects of video production activities can increase students' selfesteem, increase their satisfaction with the learning experience, promote a positive attitude towards the subject, provide weaker students with a broad individual tutoring, encouraging students to discuss with each other, exchange their opinions, and compare the results of lab activities. On the other hand, video can support research activities, offering the researcher access to a rich data aggregation to investigate the learning processes. The main objective of this study is to understand the use of online tools in the context of teaching, for this we make a correlation between studies using audiovisual resources in the study of Physics, and our testbed with an online video annotation tool. Results show that students expressed a gain from oral lectures and access to new sources of learning.

Abstract
This manuscript presents a novel framework, the Multidimensional Design Assessment Model, which encompasses a multi-criteria approach to efficiency, eco-efficiency and costs assessment for a given design system in aeronautical industry production. The framework is established by adopting Design-for-X and Multi-Layer Stream Mapping approaches, based on Lean Thinking, for efficiency assessment and adopting modules of ecoPROSYS to eco-efficiency assessment. A real case study from aeronautical sector is given to demonstrate the approach, for the assembly of aircraft structure Horizontal Tale Plane, where different results are presented and discussed for each dimension of analysis and how improvement strategies can be designed. © 2019 IEEE.

AAMAS '19: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 18TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON AUTONOMOUS AGENTS AND MULTIAGENT SYSTEMS
Abstract
Power and energy systems lack decision-support systems that enable studying big problems as a whole. The interoperability between multi-agent systems that address specific parts of the global problem is essential. Ontologies ease interoperability between heterogeneous systems providing semantic meaning to the information exchanged between the various parties. This paper presents the practical application of a society of multi agent systems, which uses ontologies to enable the interoperability between different types of agent-based simulators, directed to the simulation and operation of electricity markets, smart grids and residential energy management. Real data-based demonstration shows the proposed approach advantages in enabling comprehensive, autonomous and intelligent power system simulation studies.

Abstract
The development and study of new, more robust and powerful wavefront sensors plays an important role in the improvement of the wavefront sensing capabilities of adaptive optics systems. The LAM-ONERA On-sky Pyramid Sensor is a R&D bench dedicated to study and characterize these new wavefront sensors. In this paper, we give a glance at the current status of the bench in terms of hardware and at the most recent results obtained using new flavours of Fourier filtering wavefront sensors.

ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS
Abstract
Aims. To date, infrared interferometry at best achieved contrast ratios of a few times 10(-4) on bright targets. GRAVITY, with its dual-field mode, is now capable of high contrast observations, enabling the direct observation of exoplanets. We demonstrate the technique on HR 8799, a young planetary system composed of four known giant exoplanets. Methods. We used the GRAVITY fringe tracker to lock the fringes on the central star, and integrated off-axis on the HR 8799 e planet situated at 390 mas from the star. Data reduction included post-processing to remove the flux leaking from the central star and to extract the coherent flux of the planet. The inferred K band spectrum of the planet has a spectral resolution of 500. We also derive the astrometric position of the planet relative to the star with a precision on the order of 100 mu as. Results. The GRAVITY astrometric measurement disfavors perfectly coplanar stable orbital solutions. A small adjustment of a few degrees to the orbital inclination of HR 8799 e can resolve the tension, implying that the orbits are close to, but not strictly coplanar. The spectrum, with a signal-to-noise ratio of approximate to 5 per spectral channel, is compatible with a late- type L brown dwarf. Using Exo-REM synthetic spectra, we derive a temperature of 1150 +/- 50 K and a surface gravity of 10(4.3 +/- 0.3) cm s(2). This corresponds to a radius of 1.17(-0.11)(+0.13) R-Jup and a mass of 10(-4)(+7) M-Jup, which is an independent confirmation of mass estimates from evolutionary models. Our results demonstrate the power of interferometry for the direct detection and spectroscopic study of exoplanets at close angular separations from their stars.
