Midair Gestural Techniques for Translation Tasks in Large-Display Interaction by Vera Remizova, Yulia Gizatdinova, Veikko Surakka

“…Midair gestural interaction has gained a lot of attention over the past decades, with numerous attempts to apply midair gestural interfaces with large displays (and TVs), interactive walls, and smart meeting rooms. These attempts, reviewed in numerous studies, utilized differing gestural techniques for the same action making them inherently incomparable, which further makes it difficult to summarize recommendations for the development of midair gestural interaction applications. …”

Experiment and Numerical Simulation on Creep Mechanical Behaviors of Mudstone under Unloading Condition by Xudong Feng

“…The deep soft rock with complex occurrence conditions is easy to produce significant creep deformation under the influence of high in situ stress, high temperature, and disturbance, which has a great influence on the safety and long-term stability of structures with long service life, such as underground chambers and nuclear waste storage rooms. To study the creep effect of surrounding rock of deep chamber under the condition of excavation and unloading, creep tests of deep mudstone over 1000 meters in unloading confining pressure were carried out in this work. …”
