Urbs et Civitas: strategies and technologies for the exploitation of “Metropolis South of the third millennium” (CESCAM 2010)
2011
The contribution illustrates a part of the research: "Strategies and Technologies for the valorization of heritage". Objective of the research is to realize new strategies of building recovery and to promote the cultural patrimony local. Le “metropoli del sud del mondo” sono fortemente caratterizzate da significative densità abitative, anche a causa di un incontrollato consumo di suolo e dell’uso improprio del costruito esistente. In Italia, ed in particolare nel centro-sud di questo paese, città come Roma e Napoli e non ultima Palermo presentano forti criticità in termini di degrado edilizio ed ambientale. Il progetto di ricerca sulle “Strategie e tecnologie per la rigenerazione urbana” (t…
Urban Space and Gender Performativity in Knut Hamsun’s Hunger and Cora Sandel’s Alberta and Freedom
2018
In this article, I discuss the combination of city life and gender performativity in two Norwegian classics, Knut Hamsun’s Hunger (2016) [Sult, 1890] and Cora Sandel’s Alberta and Freedom (1984) [Alberte og friheten, 1931]. These are modernist novels depicting lonely human subjects in an urban space, the first one featuring a man in Kristiania (now Oslo) in the 1880s, the second one a woman and her female acquaintances in Paris in the 1920s. I interpret and compare the two novels by focusing on their intertwined construction of gender performativity and urban space. Gender norms of the city life are critical premises for how the subjects manage to negotiate with different options and obstac…
Fizikāli korekta attēla iegūšana
2015
Datorgrafika ir viena no populārākām datorzinātnes nozarēm, ar kuru ir saistīti ļoti daudz cilvēku, kas nodarbojās ar modelēšanu, animāciju, arhitektūru vai vienkārši kaut ko dara savam priekam vai pašizpausmei. Un visi šie cilvēki attēlu veidošanai izmanto objektīvu vai neobjektīvu renderēšanas algoritmu. Ja neobjektīvā algoritma rezultāts ir ļoti cieši saistīts ar autora domu un vīziju, tad objektīvā algoritma rezultāts būs ļoti tuvs fizikāli korektam un pietuvināsies fotogrāfijas kvalitātei. Darbā “Fizikāli korekta attēla iegūšana” ir aprakstīta un izpētīta renderēšanas algoritmu vēsture, algoritmu apraksti un atvērtā koda renderēšanas dzinēji, kas pielieto visus darbā minētos algoritmus.
Urban Heat Island Monitoring and Impacts on Citizen's General Health Status in Isfahan Metropolis: A Remote Sensing and Field Survey Approach.
2020
Urban heat islands (UHIs) are one of the urban management challenges, especially in metropolises, which can affect citizens’ health and well-being. This study used a combination of remote sensing techniques with field survey to investigate systematically the effects of UHI on citizens’ health in Isfahan metropolis, Iran. For this purpose, the land surface temperature (LST) over a three-year period was monitored by Landsat-8 satellite imagery based on the split window algorithm. Then, the areas where UHI and urban cold island (UCI) phenomena occurred were identified and a general health questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28) was applied to evaluate the health status of 800 citizens in terms o…
Współczesna metropolia: tożsamość i formy bycia razem jej mieszkańców
2018
The following paper examines the Baumanian “forms of togethernes” in the space of the contemporary metropolis, both in the West (Europe, the USA), and the developing world (China). Zygmunt Bauman understands togetherness as a totality of interhuman actions, occurring in the city space. Paradoxically, the contemporary metropolis which often seems hostile towards traditional bourgeois urban life opens up new possibilities of mutual relations between contemporary citizens. The space in the contemporary city is neither fully artificial, nor natural, but it merges some features of both. Although its infrastructure is governed by effectiveness of molecular capitalism, it is not fully predicable i…
