ADVANCES IN HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS
Abstract
The nucleon single-particle energies (SPEs) of the selected nuclei, that is, O-16, Ca-40, and Ni-56, are obtained by using the diagonal matrix elements of two-body effective interaction, which generated through the lowest-order constrained variational (LOCV) calculations for the symmetric nuclear matter with the Av(18) phenomenological nucleon-nucleon potential. The SPEs at the major levels of nuclei are calculated by employing aHartree-Fock inspired scheme in the spherical harmonic oscillator basis. In the scheme, the correlation influences are taken into account by imposing the nucleon effective mass factor on the radial wave functions of the major levels. Replacing the density-dependent one-bodymomentumdistribution functions of nucleons, n(k, rho), with theHeaviside functions, the role of n(k, rho) in the nucleon SPEs at the major levels of the selected closed shell nuclei is investigated. The best fit of spin-orbit splitting is taken into account when correcting the major levels of the nuclei by using the parameterizedWood-Saxon potential and the Av(18) density-dependent mean field potential which is constructed by the LOCV method. Considering the pointlike protons in the spherical Coulomb potential well, the single-proton energies are corrected. The results show the importance of including n(k, rho), instead of the Heaviside functions, in the calculation of nucleon SPEs at the different levels, particularly the valence levels, of the closed shell nuclei.

EXPLORING SERVICES SCIENCE (IESS 2016)
Abstract
Technology has taken its toll on human life and is present everywhere. Within the context of smart cities projects, there is a need to see how social relationship can be translated to objects and a new paradigm - the Social Internet of Things tries to address this transition. This research aims to develop a new approach for the product service systems design in the context of the social internet of things, with a case study of the development of a new smart social bike service. The research uses the design thinking approach to integrate concept of product service system into the multi-level service design. New service concepts are proposed and an architecture is designed for the operationalization of the service based on the Social Internet of Things paradigm. This research aims to show how service design methods can be applied in the context of product service systems and social internet of things.

Handbook of Research on Information Management for Effective Logistics and Supply Chains
Abstract
Evaluating the role of logistics and supply chain management skills or applications is necessary for the success of any organization or business. As market competition becomes more aggressive, it is crucial to evaluate ways in which a business can maintain a strategic edge over competitors. The Handbook of Research on Information Management for Effective Logistics and Supply Chains highlights strategies, tools, and skills necessary for supply management within organizations and companies. Featuring best practices and empirical research within the field, this handbook is a critical reference source for scholars, practitioners, researchers, information systems and telecommunication specialists, and managers.

Abstract
This paper describes the EmbodiMentor, an interaction concept and metaphor that aims to enable users to embody a different person or character's perspective, specify or modify his/her/its emotional elements and conditioning elements, and experience the resulting changes. Its use case scenario is the education and training of foreign languages and intercultural communication skills, were contextualization and first person experiences in common settings are key for practical skill acquisitions. It was born as the microscience-fiction prototype "Frances can't sleep. She crawls out of bed and with her EmbodiMentor runs through a range of a client's emotional states, pitching to each one. She then falls asleep." The application of the science fiction prototyping concept has been proven a strong approach to develop and investigate innovative applications of emerging technologies.

ADAPTIVE OPTICS SYSTEMS V
Abstract
Prior statistical knowledge of the turbulence such as turbulence strength, layer altitudes and the outer scale is essential for atmospheric tomography in adaptive-optics (AO). These atmospheric parameters can be estimated from measurements of multiple Shack-Hartmann wave-front sensors (SH-WFSs) by the SLOpe Detection And Ranging (SLODAR). In this paper, we present the statistics of the vertical CN2 and the outer scale L0 at Maunakea in Hawaii estimated from 60 hours telemetry data in total from multiple SH-WFSs of RAVEN, which is an on-sky multi-object AO demonstrator tested on the Subaru telescope. The mean seeing during the RAVEN on-sky observations is 0.475 arcsec, and 55% turbulence is below 1.5 km. The vertical profile of CN2 from the RAVEN SLODAR is consistent with the profiles from CFHT DIMM and MASS, and TMT site characterization.

EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL A
Abstract
The present work evaluates the effect of gap in the density-dependent one-body momentum distribution, n(k, rho), at the Fermi surface on the calculation of the single-particle properties of nucleons, i.e., the momentum- and density-dependent single-particle potential and the nucleon effective mass, and also on the calculation of the ground-state binding energy of the selected closed-shell nuclei, i.e., O-16, Ca-40, and Ni-56. In order to do this, n(k, rho) is constructed by use of the calculations of the lowest-order constrained variational method for the symmetric nuclear matter with the Av(18) potential up to J(max) = 2 and 5. It is shown that the gap in n(k, rho) at the Fermi surface has no significant effect on the calculation of single-particle properties in the case of J(max) = 5. In the relevant evaluation of the ground-state binding energy of selected nuclei, it is seen that the binding energy of O-16, improved by including n(k, rho), is closer to the experimental data, contrary to Ca-40 and Ni-56.
