Archaeometrical Studies of Classic Mayan Mural Painting at Peten: La Blanca and Chilonche
2014
[EN] La Blanca and Chilonche are two of the many Mayan settlements located on the lower reaches of the Mopan river (Department of Petén, Guatemala). The archaeological work conducted by La Blanca Project (University of Valencia, Spain) over the last ten years has revealed the rich polychrome of the monumental architecture of these sites, where the remains of ancient mural paintings are of the highest quality. In order to ascertain the materials and techniques used by painters at each site throughout the Classic period, our research team has recently conducted an analytical study with a multi-technique approach based on the combination of several non destructive and micro-destructive instrum…

The impact of grain size on the efficiency of embedded SIMD image processing architectures
2004
Pixel-per-processing element (PPE) ratio-the amount of image data directly mapped to each processing element-has a significant impact on the area and energy efficiency of embedded SIMD architectures for image processing applications. This paper quantitatively evaluates the impact of PPE ratio on system performance and efficiency for focal-plane SIMD image processing architectures by comparing throughput, area efficiency, and energy efficiency for a range of common application kernels using architectural and workload simulation. While the impact of grain size is affected by the mix of executed instructions within an application program, the most efficient PPE ratio often does not occur at PE…
Real-time low level feature extraction for on-board robot vision systems
2006
Robot vision systems notoriously require large computing capabilities, rarely available on physical devices. Robots have limited embedded hardware, and almost all sensory computation is delegated to remote machines. Emerging gigascale integration technologies offer the opportunity to explore alternative computing architectures that can deliver a significant boost to on-board computing when implemented in embedded, reconfigurable devices. This paper explores the mapping of low level feature extraction on one such architecture, the Georgia Tech SIMD Pixel Processor (SIMPil). The Fast Boundary Web Extraction (fBWE) algorithm is adapted and mapped on SIMPil as a fixed-point, data parallel imple…
Rural Gastronomy Events and Visitors’ Attitude
2018
Abstract This paper presents the events meant to promote Sibiu as a European Gastronomic Region. The collection of data from local public authorities and operators from traditional local gastronomy was carried out. The participation in three gastronomic events organized in the countryside allowed us to observe the number of locals involved in events, exhibitors and visitors. Local gastronomy products have also been identified. The sociological survey among 48 visitors allowed us to pinpoint the profile of people who participate in such events.
The design and implementation of Neuma, a collaborative Digital Scores Library - Requirements, architecture, and models
2012
This paper presents the design and implementation of the Neuma platform, a digital library devoted to the preservation and dissemination of symbolic music content (scores). Neuma is open to musicologists, musicians, and music publishers. It consists of a repository dedicated to the storage of large collections of digital scores, where users/applications can upload their documents. It also proposes services to publish, annotate, query, transform, and analyze scores. The long-term goal of the project is to enable an open and collaborative space where musician communities will be able to share music in symbolic notation. The project is organized around the French IRPMF institute (BnF–CNRS) whi…
Más allá del acero: Otros metales y sus usos en la arquitectura del siglo XXI
2009
[ES] El protagonismo que ostentan los metales como compuestos básicos para el desenvolvimiento cotidiano de la vida humana resulta evidente e irrefutable. Del mismo modo que una mayoría de las actividades diarias que realizamos serían imposibles sin el apoyo que nos brinda el metal, un amplio porcentaje de la arquitectura de la última centuria también hace descansar sus fundamentos en la solidez de una estructura metálica. Más allá del hierro como predecesor y del acero como digno sucesor, la constructiva recurre asimismo con asiduidad a otros metales para conformar con ellos la imagen final del edificio, redundando en ésta componentes tanto técnicos como expresivos de los que son responsab…
