A Reference Architecture for Gamified Cultural Heritage Applications Leveraging Generative AI and Augmented Reality
The rapid advancement of Information and Communication Technologies is transforming Cultural Heritage access, experience, and preservation. However, many digital heritage applications lack interactivity, personalization, and adaptability, limiting user engagement and educational impact. This short paper presents a reference architecture for gamified cultural heritage applications leveraging generative AI and augmented reality. Gamification enhances motivation, artificial intelligence enables ad…

Guess what? That's right! It's time for more #baseball!

Was bisher mangels Bildern bzw wegen spektakulärerer Bilder der russischen Bomberflotte on fire etwas unterging*, auch der Marinestützpunkt von Severomorsk hat seinen Teil abgekriegt.
Möglicherweise weniger sexy von Bildern her, aber noch bedeutsamer als der Verlust der Bomber; dort liegen russische U-Boote mit nuklearer Bewaffnung rum. Evtl. könnten von denen welche permanenten Unterseestatus bekommen haben.
Warte auf Satellitenbilder.
*Pun not intended but there it is 😁

Quantum Hall Effect and Chern Phases in the 1/5-Depleted Square Lattice
We investigate the fractional energy spectrum and quantum Hall response of a two-dimensional 1/5-depleted square lattice subjected to a perpendicular magnetic field. Using a tight-binding model that includes both nearest-neighbor (t_1) and next-nearest-neighbor (t_2) hopping, we compute the Hofstadter butterfly and extract quantized Hall conductivities via Chern number calculations. In the absence of diagonal hopping (t_2 =0), the spectrum exhibits exact particle-hole and flux-inversion symmetr…

Denne her laurbærkirsebær ser lidt kedelig ud nu hvor den er afblomstret. Tænkte jeg, indtil jeg så de vilde bier der åbenbart stadig har glæde af de tŸrre blomsterstande - i disse tider er det jo en gave at have bier, så jeg sidder i smiler her på terrassen 😊

TESTQUEST: A Web Gamification Tool to Improve Locators and Page Objects Quality
Web applications play a crucial role in our daily lives, making it essential to employ testing methods that ensure their quality. Typically, Web testing automation frameworks rely on locators to interact with the graphical user interface, acting as connection points to the elements on a Web page. Nevertheless, locators are widely recognized as a major vulnerability in Web testing, as they are highly sensitive to the frequent changes in Web page structures caused by rapid software evolution. The…

Tonight's #baseball (assuming it doesn't get rained out) is Gwinnett Stripers vs the Saint Paul Saints. We haven't seen the Saints before.

We have #baseball tonight. Kind of a weird setup because last night's game was rained out. So, today is two 7 inning games. We arrived to catch the end of one and the beginning of the second.
