The Mathematical Table of the Palazzina Cinese in Palermo. Animation and Virtual Reality Techniques for an Edutainment Project
2023
The Palazzina Cinese of Palermo was built on a project by Venanzio Marvuglia in 1799 on behalf of Ferdinand IV of Borbone, when the royal family, fleeing from Naples following the establishment of the Parthenopean Republic, moved to Sicily. The building, known as “Chinese” due to its style, is full of particular architectural and decorative solutions. An element of particular interest is theMathematical Table, designed to avoid any contact between the living room and the kitchen below, isolating it from smells and servants. Thanks to a complex system of winches and pulleys, in fact, the dishes could be served by letting the central portion of the table and small circular areas fall into the…
A Multimedia Museum Application Based Upon a Landscape Embedded Digital 3D Model of an Ancient Settlement
2012
This paper describes the development of a digital reconstruction of the celtic hillfort “Altburg” (Germany), which was generated in the context of a museums exhibition in the Hunsruck-Museum Simmern (Germany). This model refers to the City GML standard and considers the principles of the London Charter for establishing internationally recognized principles for the use of three-dimensional visualization by researchers, educators and cultural heritage organizations.

L'intérêt de l'animation comme support au code de la route pour les candidats sourds
2018
Entretiens Jacques Cartier, LYON, FRANCE, 13-/11/2018 - 14/11/2018; This article focuses on the interest of using dynamic Highway Code learning materials, particularly for deaf people who present low temporal skills. Twenty-one deaf and 24 hearing candidates of Highway Code were involved in a decision-making task. Four types of driving situations (overtaking, insertion on roundabout, insertion on highway and crossing an intersection) from which participants have to decide to go or not to go were presented in two different formats (static vs animated) and in two level of difficulty (simple vs complex). Results showed better performance in animated than in static condition, especially in deaf…
‘Acting-out’ dynamics : Can physical manipulation foster building of mental models from animation?
2016
International audience; The effects of (i) learner demonstration (using a manipulable model) and (ii) writing for understanding on learning from an animation of a Scotch Yoke mechanism were compared in a time-controlled investigation. Post-tests assessed the quality of the Scotch Yoke mental model acquired in the two learning conditions. On the basis of the Animation Processing Model (Lowe & Boucheix, 2008), we hypothesized that participants in the demonstration condition should outperform those in the writing condition because having to demonstrate the behaviors of the Scotch Yoke would result in deeper processing of crucial dynamic information in the animation. Results of the investigatio…
De la normatividad hacia la alteridad. Estudio mixto sobre el tratamiento de la diversidad en películas Disney
2021
La diversidad es condición sine qua non de la propia existencia, no entendida únicamente a nivel físico sino como cualquier diferencia entre personas. Por ello, esta se percibe como la suma de la normatividad y alteridad. Esta realidad se convierte en una de las pretensiones de la escuela actual, especialmente durante la Educación Infantil como periodo educativo en el que se asientan los valores de tolerancia y respeto. No obstante, se cuenta con barreras en cuanto a dicho paradigma inclusivo con elementos como la cultura visual de la imagen que en parte de sus producciones incluye un discurso separatista, clasista y en contra de la diferencia. Un ejemplo concreto radica en la colección “Lo…
Pour une nouvelle organisation du temps scolaire à l'école primaire: une analyse et une simulation au niveau local
2012
L'organisation du temps à l'école primaire devrait prochainement connaître des modifications importantes avec une réforme annoncée. L'objectif est d'examiner les conséquences concrètes d'une nouvelle répartition du temps scolaire sur le fonctionnement des écoles. Il s'agit d'analyser un schéma d'organisation du temps qui intègre différents aspects de la question (rythmes de l'enfant, articulation avec le temps périscolaire, aide aux élèves en difficulté, temps de travail des enseignants...) en visant une amélioration de la qualité de l'école primaire.
Microbial environmental contamination in Italian dental clinics: A multicenter study yielding recommendations for standardized sampling methods and t…
2012
A microbiological environmental investigation was carried out in ten dental clinics in Italy. Microbial contamination of water, air and surfaces was assessed in each clinic during the five working days, for one week per month, for a three-month period. Water and surfaces were sampled before and after clinical activity; air was sampled before, after, and during clinical activity. A wide variation was found in microbial environmental contamination, both within the participating clinics and for the different sampling times. Before clinical activity, microbial water contamination in tap water reached 51,200cfu/mL (colony forming units per milliliter), and that in Dental Unit Water Systems (DUWS…
Towards Psychologically based Personalised Modelling of Emotions Using Associative Classifiers
2016
Learning environments, among other user-centred applications, are excellent candidates to trial Computational Emotions and their algorithms to enhance user experience and to expand the system usability. However, this was not feasible because of the paucity in affordable consumer technologies that support the requirements of systems with advanced cognitive capabilities. Microsoft Kinect provides an accessible and affordable technology that can enable cognitive features such as facial expressions extraction and emotions detection. However, it comes with its own additional challenges, such as the limited number of extracted Animation Units (AUs). This paper presents a new approach that attempt…
