Эмануэль Гринберг - выдающиеся достижения в прикладной математике: радио-фильтры, корпуса танкеров, графы и интегральные схемы Emanuels Grinbergs - i…
2018
The paper is dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the Grinberg theorem. The main works of Emanuel Grinberg (1911-1982) in applied mathematics are described, following the stages of his life path, namely: the design of radio receivers and the calculation of radio filters (1949-1959), hull of tanker calculations (1962-1964), the study of graph theory and the proof of the Grinberg theorem (1968), designing of integrated circuits (1968-1980). Calculations of radio filters are associated with the expansion of the use of continued fractions for the analysis of linear electric circuits (the Kauer model) and the developing of new tools – the Grinberg brackets (as an extension of the Euler brackets)…
Graphical models for estimating network determinants of multi-destination trips in Sicily
2017
Abstract This paper proposes a two-step approach for analysing the main determinants of multi-destination trip behaviour. It is based on a combination of graphical models and of a multinomial logistic regression model; the aim is to analyse direct and indirect effects of a wide set of tourist- and trip-related characteristics on multi-destination trip behaviour. Empirical data have been derived from a frontier survey of approximately 4000 incoming tourists in Sicily (Italy) at the end of their trip. Results suggest that multi-destination trips depend directly on the length of stay, the number of previous visits and motivation for the trip, and only indirectly on the interview month, travel …
Making interaction with virtual reality accessible : rendering and guiding methods for subtitles
2021
AbstractAccessibility in immersive media is a relevant research topic, still in its infancy. This article explores the appropriateness of two rendering modes (fixed-positioned and always-visible) and two guiding methods (arrows and auto-positioning) for subtitles in 360° video. All considered conditions have been implemented and integrated in an end-to-end platform (from production to consumption) for their validation and evaluation. A pilot study with end users has been conducted with the goals of determining the preferred options by users, the options that result in a higher presence, and of gathering extra valuable feedback from the end users. The obtained results reflect that, for the c…
Dental anatomy portrayed with microscopic volume investigations
1993
The clinical treatment of the root canal of teeth--called endodontics--assumes a precise idea of the spatial arrangement of the anatomy of teeth and their inner structure. By using computer-assisted data acquisition from filmed sequences of histologic serial sections and a special kind of magnetic resonance microscope--the Stray Field Imaging (STRAFI)--volume investigations were carried out using special functions of a newly developed 3D software. Possible applications and future perspectives are discussed.
Ophthalmic: Laboratorio virtual para el diseño de nuevas lentes oftálmicas
2013
This work presents a new virtual laboratory, OPHTALMIC, developed with MATLAB GUI for using in Optics and Optometry courses as a computer tool for studying the focusing properties of multifocal diffractive both on unconventional structures both periodic and aperiodic. This virtual laboratory enables students to quickly and easily analyze the influence of the different parameters of construction and find the best solution for a user.
Computer-assisted orientation and drawing of archaeological pottery.
2018
Archaeologists spend considerable time orienting and drawing ceramic fragments by hand for documentation, to infer their manufacture, the nature of the discovery site and its chronology, and to develop hypotheses about commercial and cultural exchanges, social organisation, resource exploitation, and taphonomic processes. This study presents a survey of existing solutions to the time-consuming problem of orienting and drawing pottery fragments. Orientation is based on the 3D geometry of pottery models, which can now be acquired in minutes with low-cost 3D scanners. Several methods are presented: they are based on normal vectors, or circle fittings, or profile fittings. All these methods see…
Digital Palaeography of Hieratic
2020
After a short history of research into hieratic palaeography, the first experiences with digital methods to conduct the study of handwritten documents, in Egyptology as well as in other fields, are presented. The needs and goals of a future digital palaeography are then explained in detail. Such a palaeography is expected to become a modern research tool for ancient Egyptian handwritings that allows the depiction, description, classification, and encoding of cursive signs and that includes information about the entire manuscripts and their materiality. In constructing such a tool, some questions are essential, for instance: How should the signs be represented—as image sections from a scan o…
On the impact of within-die process variation in GALS-Based NoC Performance
2012
[EN] Current integration scales allow designing chip multiprocessors (CMP), where cores are interconnected by means of a network-on-chip (NoC). Unfortunately, the small feature size of current integration scales causes some unpredictability in manufactured devices because of process variation. In NoCs, variability may affect links and routers causing them not to match the parameters established at design time. In this paper, we first analyze the way that manufacturing deviations affect the components of a NoC by applying a new comprehensive and detailed within-die variability model to 200 instances of an 8¿8 mesh NoC synthesized using 45 nm technology. Later, we show that GALS-based NoCs pr…
THE METAMODEL: A STARTING POINT FOR DESIGN PROCESSES CONSTRUCTION
2010
The construction of ad-hoc design processes following the Situational Method Engineering (SME) paradigm is currently carried out by adopting a set of phases for which, until now, no well defined techniques and guidelines have been established. The consequence is that organizations are very dependent on method designers' skills. In this paper, we propose an approach based on SME for constructing customized agent oriented design processes. Our approach adopts the metamodel as the most important factor leading to the selection and assembly of method fragments and an algorithm for establishing the instantiation order of metamodel elements. The algorithm makes the proposed approach repeatable a…
Integral display for non-static observers
2017
We propose to combine the Kinect and the Integral-Imaging technologies for the implementation of Integral Display. The Kinect device permits the determination, in real time, of (x,y,z) position of the observer relative to the monitor. Due to the active condition of its IR technology, the Kinect provides the observer position even in dark environments. On the other hand, SPOC 2.0 algorithm permits to calculate microimages adapted to the observer 3D position. The smart combination of these two concepts permits the implementation, for the first time we believe, of an Integral Display that provides the observer with color 3D images of real scenes that are viewed with full parallax and which are…
