An EEMD Aided Comparison of Time Histories and Its Application in Vehicle Safety
2017
In the context of signal processing, the comparison of time histories is required for different purposes, especially for the model validation of vehicle safety. Most of the existing metrics focus on the mathematical value only. Therefore, they suffer the measuring errors, disturbance, and uncertainties and can hardly achieve a stable result with a clear physical interpretation. This paper proposes a novel scheme of time histories comparison to be used in vehicle safety analysis. More specifically, each signal for comparison is decomposed into a trend signal and several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) by ensemble empirical mode decomposition. The trend signals reflect the general variation a…
Recording Britain : John Piper et le patrimoine architectural anglais dans les années 1940
2016
This article is about the artist John Piper's participation in one of the programmes for the preservation of national heritage that were organised during the Second World War. It focuses on Piper's paintings and texts – notably the articles that he contributed to the Architectural Review – in order to illustrate the aesthetic controversy between modernism and tradition, abstraction and naturalism, which underpins the ambivalence of reconstruction.
RÓŻNORODNOŚĆ GRZYBÓW STRZĘPKOWYCH W POWIETRZU I FRAKCJI OPADAJĄCEJ NA POWIERZCHNIĘ MAGAZYNÓW ZBOŻOWYCH ORAZ W PRZECHOWYWANYM ZIARNIE ZBÓŻ
2017
Magazynowanie zbóż jest jednym z najważniejszych etapów łańcucha produkcji żywności. Zanieczyszczenia mikrobiologiczne, a w szczególności grzybami strzępkowymi mogą obniżać jakość przechowywanego ziarna oraz pośrednio generować straty ekonomiczne i niekorzystnie oddziaływać na zdrowie ludzi. Celem przeprowadzanych badań była ocena różnorodności grzybów strzępkowych obecnych w powietrzu i frakcji opadającej na powierzchnię magazynów zbożowych oraz w przechowywanym ziarnie zbóż. Badania przeprowadzono w magazynach płaskich w czasie składowania zbóż. Ogólną liczbę grzybów strzępkowych w powietrzu magazynowym oznaczono metodą wolumetryczną przy użyciu aparatu MAS-100 firmy MERCK w siedmiu wyzna…
Overvåking av vitale parametere i sykehus : En sammenligning av manuelle og elektroniske overvåkingssystemer
2018
Masteroppgave i helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI500 - Universitetet i Agder 2018 Adverse events can be avoided by timely recognition of derangements in vital signs. Sørlandet Hospital HF (SSHF) has implemented an Early Warning Score System named "TILT"; 2Early identification of life-threatening conditions”. In 2017 SSHF started a project that tested wireless sensors for continuous monitoring of vital signs on wards. Patients were monitored by sensors and vital signs were also measured by traditional means during the project period. The aim of this study was to examine compliance with the vital signs monitoring protocol, and to examine the benefits of an electronic system. The following quest…
El mito aéreo en el futurismo italiano:del periodo heroico a la espiritualidad aérea (1909-1944) The aerial myth of Itanian futurism: from the heroic…
2021
La poética de lo aéreo atravesó transversalmente la historia del futurismo italiano. El undécimo punto de su manifiesto y fundación en 1909, hizo referencia al aeroplano como una máquina esencial para comprender que la vida y el arte se debían someter a un mundo en permanente transformación. Lo aéreo y sus implicaciones compusieron proclamas y manifiestos determinando la creación literaria y artística del periodo heroico. En los años treinta, cuando el futurismo planteaba su supervivencia en el complejo contexto social y político italiano, la aeropintura se convirtió en su línea oficial. Un perfil que, desde ese mismo momento, se bifurcó en dos tendencias complementarias: la dedicada a una …
La forma del "Denkraum": tecnica e rappresentazione nella conferenza di Kreuzlingen
2012
Nel 1895 Aby Warburg decide di affiancare allo ricerca teorica l’osservazione antropologica sul campo, facendo esperienza diretta di usi, riti e costumi degli indiani Hopi. Lo studioso amburghese documenta meticolosamente il suo viaggio portando con sé una Box Camera Kodak, uno dei primi apparecchi prodotti dalla casa. All’interno di una visione del sapere unitario, spazio di dialogo e integrazione tra metodi e discipline differenti, la scelta del mezzo espressivo diventa un modo per esplorarne e sperimentarne le potenzialità peculiari. L’interesse per la tecnica si sposa con una concezione estetica non formalistica, secondo la quale l’arte coincide con una necessità biologica specificatame…
Chromogenic detection of nerve agent mimics
2008
The current rise in international concern over criminal terrorist attacks via chemical warfare (CW) agents has resulted in an increasing interest in the detection of these lethal chemicals. Among CW species, nerve agents are extremely dangerous and their high toxicity and ease of production underscore the need to detect these deadly chemicals via quick and reliable procedures. A number of detection systems have been developed, most of them based on enzymatic and physical methodologies. However, these usually show limitations such as low selectivity, lack of portability and a certain complexity in their use. An alternative to these classical methods that has been gaining interest in recent y…
"Media and Society 2022": Proceedings of Scientific Papers
2023
The proceedings represent the collection of reports in two sections of the media and communication science of 80th International Scientific Conference of the University of Latvia. The first section was organized under the auspices of the research project “Risks to Democracy Caused by Disinformation and Conspiracy: Reviewing the Latvian Experience” (lzp-2019/1-0278). This project is implemented with the support of the Fundamental and Applied Project Programme by Latvian Council of Science. The focus of the section was the analysis of current and past information processes, the spread of disinformation, communication ethics, as well as the role of social networks in the spread of information …
Nationalism and Internationalism Reconciled : British Concepts for a New World Order during and after the World Wars
2018
The carnage of World War I gave rise to liberal visions for a new world order with democratized foreign policy and informed international public opinion. Conservatives emphasized continuity in national sovereignty, while socialists focused on the interests of the working class. While British diplomacy in the construction of the League of Nations has been widely discussed, we focus on contemporary uses of nationalism and internationalism in parliamentary and press debates that are more ideological. We also examine how failed internationalist visions influenced uses of these concepts during World War II, supporting alternative organizational solutions, caution with the rhetoric of democracy a…
