The contribution of AI to enhance understanding of Cultural Heritage.
2013
The Artificial Intelligence & Cultural Heritage (AI & CH) working group was born in 1999 with the aim at promoting various scientific activities to increase a more active collaboration between the sectors of cultural assets and artificial intelligence. The many events (workshops and schools) organized over the years have shown the validity of this group for exchanging ideas and gathering researchers and practitioners from different fields. New applications of informatics and artificial intelligence have provided the opportunity to produce innovative tools for documenting, managing and communicating cultural heritage. For this anniversary we intend to show how some of the most important meth…
Enhancing innovation capability and business opportunities : cases of SME-oriented applied research
2012
Campus virtuales : revista científica iberoamericana de tecnología educativa
2019
Resumen basado en el de la publicación Resumen en inglés Se analizan las percepciones del profesorado de quinto y sexto de educación Primaria en torno a la valoración, uso y formación del profesorado sobre materiales didácticos digitales. Para ello se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a docentes de tres comunidades autónomas (Galicia, Canarias y Valencia). Los resultados muestran que el profesorado considera necesario utilizar en las aulas este tipo de recursos ya que están muy presentes en la vida cotidiana del alumnado. Además, abogan por la creación de sus propios materiales con el fin de adaptarlos a las características particulares del grupo-clase, proporcionando una propuesta d…
Carbon stocks in a 50‑year‑oldEucalyptus camaldulensisstand in Sicily, Italy
2015
Eucalyptus stands in semi-arid areas may contribute to enhance carbon (C) stocks in both biomass and soil. However, the limited information available is mainly focused on short-rotation plantations. In this study, the above- and below-ground C pools in five 50-year-old Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh. stands planted on Miocenic evaporitic deposits in Sicily, Italy, with a xeric and thermic pedoclimate, were measured. Above-ground biomass was determined by partitioning and weighing branches, stem and leaves. Below-ground C pools included the determination of litter, root biomass, and soil organic and inorganic C. In terms of the above-ground biomass, the E. camaldulensis stand accumulated on …
Conversion of existing roundabouts into turbo-roundabouts: case studies from real world, Journal of Civil Engineering and Architecture 6(8)
2012
Compared with roundabouts the main advantages of turbo-roundabouts are the reduction in the number of potential conflicting points and the lower speed of vehicles through the intersection; they both can improve road safety conditions at the junction. Moreover, the physical delimitation among lanes limits the side-by-side accident risk. These aspects make turbo-roundabouts more appropriate than roundabouts when a higher level of safety has to be guaranteed, particularly in presence of relevant pedestrian and two-wheels traffic volumes. The present paper has three main objectives : 1) to discuss general design criteria and functional principles of turbo roundabouts; 2) to give the geometric d…
TURBO-ROUNDABOUT GENERAL DESIGN CRITERIA AND FUNCTIONAL PRINCIPLES: CASE STUDIES FROM REAL WORLD
2010
Compared with usual roundabouts the main advantages of turbo-roundabouts are the reduction in the number of potential conflicting points and the lower speed of passing vehicles through the intersection; they both can improve road safety conditions at the junction. Also, the physical delimitation among lanes limits the side-by-side accident risk. These aspects make turbo-roundabouts more appropriate than roundabouts when a higher level of safety has to be guaranteed, particularly in presence of relevant pedestrian and two-wheels traffic volumes. In a previous paper authors proposed a theoretical approach to evaluate turbo-roundabouts capacity founded on gap acceptance theory. In particular, …
Safety diagnostic method in urban circular intersections
2004
The available knowledge of traffic safety at roundabouts is not a complete reference for geometric design; where there are organizational schemes for junctions characterized by a geometric design, quite different driving behaviours are required from those that are observable at roundabouts. This is very frequent in urban areas, where the existing constraints, particularly physical ones, often render it necessary to make “compromise choices” relating to one or more geometric features of the roundabout (central island shape, circulatory roadway width, symmetry and number of the arms, entry width, etc). The objective of this study is to explain the accident phenomenology of this kind of road s…
An Italian experience on crash modeling for roundabouts
2015
In the last few years a considerable amount of safety models and evaluation tasks have been developed and specifically dedicated to roundabouts. Several safety performance functions (SPFs), indeed, have been implemented for roundabouts worldwide. Since SPFs are developed using crashes, traffic volume and other characteristics of a specific site (or geographical area), their direct transferability to other contexts different from those in which SPFs were calibrated is not always possible and, in any case, it must be done very carefully. A safety performance function cannot be used without a transferability evaluation for sites not included in the geographic area for which it was developed. S…
Rozācijas klīniskās izpausmes pacientiem ar metabolo sindromu, insulīna rezistenci un glikāciju
2020
Darba aktualitāte: Rozācija ir bieži sastopama dermatoze, kas skar līdz 22% eiropeīdās rases. Ir pierādīta rozācijas iespējamā saistība ar paaugstinātu risku vairāku slimību attīstībai, kuru pamatā ir līdzīgs paaugstināta ER stresa patoģenētiskais mehānisms, par ko plašāka izpratne ir izveidojusies tikai pēdējā desmitgadē. Metabolais sindroms ir vielmaiņas traucējumu kopums, kas ietver kardiometabolo riska faktoru kopumu un ir saistīts ar paaugstinātu risku citām saslimšanām, tajā skaitā 2. tipa cukura diabētu. Metabolā sindroma un insulīna rezistences izplatība strauji pieaug industrializētās valstīs. Glikācijas iespējamā saistība ar rozāciju vēl nav pētīta un šādā aspektā tiek analizēta p…
Analiza wybranych aspektów procesów migracyjnych na rynek pracy w Polsce
2018
Artykuł porusza istotną kwestię jaką jest wpływ migracji na rynek pracy w Polsce. W sytuacji wysokiego bezrobocia i braku perspektyw na znalezienie pracy w kraju wielu Polaków zdecydowało się na emigrację. Zjawisko to przybrało na sile po wstąpieniu naszego kraju do Unii Europejskiej. Emigrowali głównie ludzie młodzi i stosunkowo dobrze wykształceni. Lawina emigrantów spowodowała „lukę podażową” na rynku pracy. Dla rozwijającej się polskiej gospodarki stanowi to istotny problem, gdyż okazuje się,że pomimo bezrobocia, które obecnie jest najniższe od czasu transformacji ustrojowej, w wielu sektorach brakuje „rąk do pracy”. Lukę tę „łatają” imigranci z Ukrainy, dla których praca w Polsce jest …
