Visual Culture and Cultural Heritage: ViC-CH a Synthesis Between Digital Representation and Heritage Experience
2019
The dissemination possibilities offered by digital technologies provide multiple ways of reading and fruition of the cultural heritage. In order to define a visualization and communication strategy through images, the paper shows some of the results of the ViC-CH Visual Culture and Cultural Heritage workshop, which involved the University of Trento and the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano. The graphic elaborations focused on the Library of the Priest Seminar in Brixen; photomodelling, short films with drone shots and virtual visits have been some of the ways of manipulating the image for the animation and realistic visualization of a cultural heritage not easily accessible to date (The pape…
E-LEARNING AND ART OF PROGRAMMING: A CONTEXT ORIENTED TO
2017
Coding or programming is very important for a number of tasks and this is true not only in problem solving but also in the computer science and over. Many skills have to be acquired before to have a high familiarity degree with this science. In the studies for methods of coding, students have a great problem for understanding on how to solve and to develop algorithms in a rational way, thus the expertise on how to solve and to develop algorithms is the most difficult to acquire for all students in whatever age. This paper introduces the prototype of a framework able to running in the web space and to be supported by different devices and browsers, useful to integrate a number of collaborati…
Aula Virtual. Evolució del maquinari i millora de resultats
2009
Las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) han contribuido al desarrollo de plataformas e.learning de apoyo a los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Actualmente, la mayoría de universidades cuentan con algún tipo de sistema de gestión del aprendizaje (en inglés, LMS). El óptimo uso de estas plataformas requiere que integren las aplicaciones preexistentes de forma transparente. Esto se consigue con el uso de una arquitectura robusta. En este artículo expondremos la implementación y arquitectura del LMS integrado de la Universitat de València y la evolución de su hardware para adecuarse de manera óptima a las necesidades de la universidad.
INTERNET BASED DEVELOPMENT OF AN OPEN SOURCE LOW-COST CNC
2006
In this paper we show how to realize a low-cost numerical system, based on an “open source” software called EMC (Enhanced Machine Control). First, we assembled a low cost CNC workstation with a remote control by means of an online computer with a webcam, as an example of the software's potentiality. Moreover, we translated a graphical user interface (AXIS), in co-operation with the international development community, in order to improve its userfriendliness.
SOFIA: a decision support System for the Optimization of the biomass supply chain and Forest Integrated management in protected areas
2019
A decision support System for the Optimization of the biomass supply chain and Forest Integrated Management in protected areas (SOFIA) is presented. All functionalities have been developed in Python language embedded in the open-source QGIS 3.6 software. Two models were implemented with an approach and methodology based on free and open source software (QGIS, GRASS, SAGA, GDAL). The main aim of SOFIA is to support the Madonie Regional Natural Park authority and forest managers in decision-making processes to assess the costs and benefits in the energy production from residual agro-forestry biomass, as well as for determining the optimum plant size (and power) for energy and heat production …
A Web based remote control of CNC machines
2009
Due to the large variety of products in small batch sizes, a modern machining shop floor requires an advanced real-time control system able to both monitor all the features and adapt the manufacturing system to the rapid changes of production capability and functionality. This is especially true when the shop floors are combined with the e-Manufacturing concept. e-Manufacturing is a transformation system which enables the manufacturing operations to achieve a predictive near-zero-downtime performance as well as to synchronize with the management systems through the use of infotronics technologies (i.e., wireless connections, web applications, networking systems, etc.). In recent years, the …
UN SIT PER IL PPE DEL CENTRO STORICO DI PALERMO: IL CASO STUDIO DEL MANDAMENTO CASTELLAMMARE
2015
In this work a Geographic Information System was realised at the service of municipal administration of Palermo, to integrate, manage and store city plan information regarding the urban district Castellammare whereof detailed executive plan of inner city, correlating basic cartography, current urban instrument, cadastral cartography, current restriction schemes, monumental and historical monuments, street numbers and street network. Quantum GIS vers. 1.8 of Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS) community was exclusively utilized to the fulfilment of GIS. To the experimentation and the fulfilment of WebGIS a free server was used in cloud on the Amazon, where a virtual machine, based on MapSer…
Potku – New analysis software for heavy ion elastic recoil detection analysis
2014
Time-of-flight elastic recoil detection (ToF-ERD) analysis software has been developed. The software combines a Python-language graphical front-end with a C code computing back-end in a user-friendly way. The software uses a list of coincident time-of- flight–energy (ToF–E) events as an input. The ToF calibration can be determined with a simple graphical procedure. The graphical interface allows the user to select different elements and isotopes from a ToF–E histogram and to convert the selections to individual elemental energy and depth profiles. The resulting sample composition can be presented as relative or absolute concentrations by integrating the depth profiles over user-defined rang…
Valutazione dell’accessibilità con software open source
2012
L'accessibilità ha da sempre ricoperto un ruolo fondamentale per lo sviluppo delle società e per rendere sempre più agevoli gli spostamenti, a prescindere dalle cause che li originano. In questo articolo si vuole focalizzare l’attenzione sull’accessibilità ai terminal aeroportuali, in quanto la velocità e la facilità di accesso sono aspetti strategici per il trasporto aereo. Se il tempo di accesso ai terminal non fosse sufficientemente rapido, negli spostamenti a breve distanza, l’aereo perderebbe il vantaggio che ha sulle altre scelte modali. Lo scopo che ci si è posti nella ricerca è di valutare l’accessibilità territoriale attraverso l’uso di software GIS (Geographic Information System) …
