A new and simplified approach to assess the pavement surface micro- and macrotexture

2017

Abstract Road safety depends on pavement skid resistance and surface texture. Skid resistance mainly depends on micro-texture and macrotexture. Skid and texture measurements on samples, in the laboratory, at the preliminary stage of the design, would enhance the design in terms of timing, costs, and reliability. Consequently, this study aims at setting up and validating simple methods for assessing surface texture and skid resistance based on core/sample measurements. Experiments were carried out and predictive relationships were set up to explain and predict results. Under given conditions, miniaturised macro-and microtexture tests (modified EN 13036-1 and modified EN 13036-4, respectively…

Range image binarization: applications to wooden stamps analysis

2003

This paper deals with the analysis of ancient wooden stamps. The aim is to extract a binary image from the stamp. This image must be the closer to the image produced by inking and using a printing press with the stamps. A range image based method is proposed to extract a stamped image from the stamps. The range image acquisition from a 3D laser scanner is presented. Pre-filtering for range image enhancement is detailed. The range image binarization method is based on an adaptive thresholding. Few simple processes applied on the range image enable a final binarized image computing. The proposed method provides here a very efficient way to perform "virtual" stampings with ancient wooden stamp…

The Creative Activity of Textile Lecturers as an Aspect of Professional Competence Development and its Impact on Study Process

2015

The creative activity of lecturers teaching textile course of studies is an essential aspect of professional competence development, which acquires a special meaning in context of lifelong learning. The purpose of this study is to analyse, how the creative activity of lecturers improves their own professional competences as well as influences and motivates the creative activity of students during the process of acquisition of textile course of studies. The following research methods have been applied: case study, survey (N=36). The study analyses the impact of creative activity of lecturers on study process in nine textile courses of studies, the choice of graduation paper subject and its d…

Pupils Creative Activity in Textile Art at Competition

2014

The open olympiads of home economics and technologies encourage pupils of grades 5-9 to be creative in applying textile techniques. They also popularize textile art. Purpose of the study is to analyse the results of pupils’ creative work during the 10th open olympiad of home economics and technologies. Method: analysis of textile works. 376 pupils’ works from the 1st round and 85 works of the 2nd round have been analysed and assessed according to the following criteria: compliance with the task, unity of composition, composition of colours, compatibility of materials, originality, quality of the technical accomplishment, functionality. In the olympiad traditional Latvian handicraft techniqu…

La geografía en la E. G. B: Un ejemplo de descoordinación entre programas renovados y libros de texto

1985

Este trabajo explica el sentido que ha de tener la Geografía en la E.G.B. y los contenidos a estudiar según los Programas Renovados, por un lado; y el enfoque y contenidos de la Geografía que hay que estudiar según los libros de texto, por otro. A través del análisis de las distintas capacidades y contenidos que se plantean, se observa: 1.º Que la Geografía presentada por los Programas Renovados no se adapta plenamente a las exigencias de la sociedad y realizadas actuales; 2.º Que existe una descoordinación entre Programas Renovados y libros de texto; 3.º Que los libros de texto no trabajan aquellos objetivos para los que sus autores afirman que han sido editados. Por tanto, podremos utiliz…

Mejorando el procesamiento macro-estructural en L2 en estudiantes con niveles de inglés elementales o intermedios: un procedimiento instruccional cen…

2014

Previous studies have shown that students have difficulties building the macro-structure from expository texts in English (as L2). The usual cause pointed out is a lack of language proficiency. Thus, instructional methods have focused on providing students with the necessary vocabulary and grammar knowledge. This study proposes and validates an instructional approach which improves students’ L2 processing on the macro-structural level, focusing on reading strategies rather than on vocabulary or grammar. Comprehension monitoring on the macro-structural level was improved by performing instructional tasks devoted to establish global coherence. As a consequence, students’ reading comprehension…

Protecting emergency workers and armed forces from volatile toxic compounds: Applicability of reversible conductive polymer-based sensors in barrier …

2019

International audience; Barrier materials have wide applicability in both professional (military, medical, industrial) and non-professional(leisure and sports) fields. This paper focuses on the preparation of real conductive polymer (CP) sensors, for thestudy of the permeation of volatile toxic compounds through barrier materials. Use of such a CP sensor can helpimprove the quality of barrier materials used in protective clothing. Several types of platforms have beenmanufactured or purchased for use as comb sensors with different electrode dimensions, and a suitable methodof applying the detection layer of conductive polymers (polyaniline and poly-pyrrole) has been developed. Prepared senso…

Biological soil crusts determine soil properties and salt dynamics under arid climatic condition in Qara Qir, Iran

2020

Biological soil crusts are a thin layer within the soil system but strongly determine the infiltration, runoff and water and solute movement. Little is known about the role of biological soil crusts on soil solute dynamics in arid ecosystems and the objective of this paper is to determine in Qara Qir rangeland how biological soil crusts control the water and salt distribution along the soil profile. Rainfall simulation experiments were carried out at five locations, and measurements of the soil at 0-5, 5-10, 10-20, 20-30, 30-50 and 50-80 cm depth were done before, 48 h and 21 days after the rainfall simulations. Soil particle size distribution, bulk density, water content, organic carbon an…
