Music, Architecture, Proportion and the Renaissance Way of Thinking

2020

During the Renaissance, the language of proportion became a unified theory capable of encompassing the understanding of the world within a coherent theological, philosophical and artistic framework. Music, with its harmonic paradigm, plays a key role in this construction. From the fifteenth century through to the end of the sixteenth century, architects and architectural theorists made reference, both in new treatises and commentaries to Vitruvius, to musical matters, transforming architecture into the summa of knowledge. The affinity to music was grounded on both a common mathematical and rhetoric gnosiology. Formerly conceived of as ideal, numbers became eloquent, reinforcing the quantita…

A mathematical study on effective wavenumber, an operative computation procedure, and its use with radiance-temperature relationships

2003

In this paper we study the existence of effective wavenumber for any sensor by means of simple mathematics. We implement a numeric algorithm, based on the developed mathematical background, into a computer program named 'srf2radi', which is freely available via anonymous File Transfer Protocol (FTP) at ftp://ftp.uv.es/pub/src/. The number of effective wavenumbers for each temperature and their accuracy are also computed and studied for NOAA-16 Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer Version 3 (AVHRR/3) channel 4. These effective wavenumbers can be used to obtain radiance-temperature relationships with physical meaning for any sensor in user-defined temperature intervals.

Web-based real-time data acquisition system as tool for energy efficiency monitoring

2013

A web-based data acquisition system is proposed as a research tool of the energy efficiency monitoring project of the test stands. Basic requirements for the architecture of the data acquisition system are discussed. The architecture of the data acquisition system is proposed to provide the real-time interface with sensors, to acquire and to log data from all sensors with fixed rate, and to deliver logged data through FTP to the end-user.

Challenges and Solutions for Tracing Storage Systems

2018

IBM Spectrum Scale’s parallel file system General Parallel File System (GPFS) has a 20-year development history with over 100 contributing developers. Its ability to support strict POSIX semantics across more than 10K clients leads to a complex design with intricate interactions between the cluster nodes. Tracing has proven to be a vital tool to understand the behavior and the anomalies of such a complex software product. However, the necessary trace information is often buried in hundreds of gigabytes of by-product trace records. Further, the overhead of tracing can significantly impact running applications and file system performance, limiting the use of tracing in a production system. In…

La evaluación de la sexualidad de las personas con discapacidad intelectual: construcción y descripción de una entrevista semiestructurada

2020

Si bien las personas con discapacidad intelectual experimentan la misma necesidad de intimidad que el resto, una serie de barreras sociales impiden la expresión de su sexualidad alentando a que se les perciba como seres asexuales. Por ello, durante mucho tiempo las voces de las personas con discapacidad no han sido escuchadas, lo que conlleva que actualmente exista una escasez de herramientas de evaluación para explorar los diferentes aspectos de la sexualidad de este colectivo teniendo en cuenta sus limitaciones en lectoescritura y comprensión. El objetivo de este estudio es la elaboración de una entrevista semiestructurada fiable y válida que contemple las características de las personas …

A generalized finite difference method using Coatmèlec lattices

2009

Generalized finite difference methods require that a properly posed set of nodes exists around each node in the mesh, so that the solution for the corresponding multivariate interpolation problem be unique. In this paper we first show that the construction of these meshes can be computerized using a relatively simple algorithm based on the concept of a Coatmelec lattice. Then, we present a generalized finite difference method which provides a numerical solution of a partial differential equation over an arbitrary domain, using the generated meshes. The accuracy and mesh adaptivity of the method is evaluated using elliptical equations in several domains.

Dopo la firmitas. Prospettiva metabolista di architetture resilienti

2019

Identificata per millenni attraverso la sua capacità di durare identica nel tempo – secondo il paradigma della firmitas vitruviana - l’architettura contemporanea è invece chiamata oggi ad un adattamento dinamico alle mutazioni del suo contesto. L’emergenza climatica è l’epifenomeno più evidente fra quelli che hanno orientato la disciplina verso l’indeterminatezza programmatica, la flessibilità morfologica, gli approcci sistemici aperti. Lontana dall’essere un semplice adeguamento tecnico a nuove esigenze quantitative, l’architettura resiliente chiarisce progressivamente i suoi termini teorici e le sue derivazioni culturali. Un approccio genealogico che traccia la riformulazione di alcuni te…

DeCyMo: Decentralized Cyber-physical System for Monitoring and Controlling Industries and Homes

2018

The recent revolution of the Internet of Things has given the birth of a series of new technologies and cyber-physical systems to be used in industrial and home scenarios. Cyber- physical systems include physical and software components for providing smart monitoring and control with flexibility and adaptability to the operating context. The IoT paradigm enables the intertwined use of physical and software components through the interconnection of devices that exchange data with each other without direct human interaction in several fields, especially in industrial and home environments. We propose DeCyMo, a decentralized architecture that aims at solving common IoT issues and vulnerabiliti…

Using an Object-Oriented Approach for Scalable Flexibility in Manufacturing

2012

In this paper, it is briefly explained how to configure the different resource modules that actually control the tasks of the physical device and put together a work cell consisting of other FMS resources. Finally, an example on building a workcell using a hierarchical approach is presented.
