Abstract

We introduce Replica, a dataset of 18 highly photo-realistic 3D indoor scene reconstructions at room and building scale. Each scene consists of a dense mesh, high-resolution high-dynamic-range (HDR) textures, per-primitive semantic class and instance information, and planar mirror and glass reflectors. The goal of Replica is to enable machine learning (ML) research that relies on visually, geometrically, and semantically realistic generative models of the world - for instance, egocentric computer vision, semantic segmentation in 2D and 3D, geometric inference, and the development of embodied agents (virtual robots) performing navigation, instruction following, and question answering. Due to the high level of realism of the renderings from Replica, there is hope that ML systems trained on Replica may transfer directly to real world image and video data. Together with the data, we are releasing a minimal C++ SDK as a starting point for working with the Replica dataset. In addition, Replica is `Habitat-compatible', i.e. can be natively used with AI Habitat for training and testing embodied agents.

9. Waterbodies thermal energy based systems interactions with marine environment — A review

Author

Bordbar, Amir, Georgoulas, Konstantinos, Dai, Yong Ming, Michele, Simone, Roberts, Frank, Carter, Nigel, and Lee, Yeaw Chu

Abstract

Waterbodies’ thermal energy potential, as a green, renewable, and limitless source of energy, can be exploited in response to the growing energy demands of islands and coastal cities. Up to now, the technologies that have been developed for this purpose include seawater air-conditioning, surface water heat pump, and ocean energy thermal conversion systems or their combinations, which are presented here as Waterbodies Thermal Energy Based Systems (WTEBSs). The growth and development of these technologies raise concerns regarding their potential impacts on sustainability of the marine environment. The present work provides a comprehensive review of the available literature and state-of-the-art technologies describing potential interactions of WTEBSs throughout their life-cycle (i.e. including construction, installation, operation, and decommissioning) with the marine ecology. Modelling of seawater discharge dispersion as one of the main environmental impact concerns regarding the operation of WTEBSs is detailed and scopes for improving existing modelling tools are discussed. Potential destructive impacts of fouling and corrosion in WTEBSs are reported and deterrent recommendations are highlighted. Evidence of growth of bio-fouling inside of pipelines and associated mesh filtration baskets at abstraction pipe intakes are presented. The required permitting applications and licensing processes for installation and operation of WTEBSs by the relevant authorities are summarised. Finally, a summary of the findings from the data monitoring of water quality properties of a seawater air-conditioning pilot study performed at Brixham Laboratory, University of Plymouth, United Kingdom is reported.

Subjects

Abstract

In the 50 years since the formation of the Oral Health Foundation, there have been huge advances in the oral health of the nation. However, a fundamental shift in mindset and attitude, from both the public and the profession, is needed, with a greater focus on the prevention of oral diseases. Further improvements are necessary to lessen social inequities in rates of oral disease, reduce the number of paediatric extractions and improve the population's awareness of oral health.

Abstract

The article talks about the need for dental professionals to participate in raising awareness of mouth cancer in Great Britain. Topics covered include the Mouth Cancer Action Month in November 2015, the British Dental Health Foundation's commitment to increasing awareness and reducing the number of deaths caused by oral cancer, and the signs and symptoms of mouth cancer. Also mentioned is the prediction that human papillomavirus (HPV) will overtake tobacco as the leading cause of mouth cancer.

24. Dental Anxiety Effects on Quality of Life.

Author

Carter, Nigel

Abstract

The article discusses studies on the effects of dental anxieties to quality of life. Topics discussed include study by the charity Oral Health Foundation that identified fear as the biggest barrier to dental visits, study by McGrath and Bedi on the link of dental anxiety to poor oral health, and by Berggren on the presence of poor emotional and social life among dental phobic patients. Also mentioned are recommendations to help overcome dental fear.

Abstract

The author says fluoride in drinking water has a profound effect on reducing levels of tooth decay. He says the All-Party Parliamentary Health Group should start a movement placing pressure on the government to strengthen their position on water fluoridation. He confirmed that the Health Group participants at its meeting discussed the fact that tooth decay is the principal reason children are being admitted to hospital in Great Britain for general anesthetic.
