Expression of emotion through musical parameters in 3- and 5-year-olds
2019
While the use of musical parameters for emotional expression has been extensively studied, little is known about which specific musical parameters children at different ages are able to use for expressing specific emotions. We used a novel interface called Music Box that allows modification of musical parameters while music is being played in real time. Children (N = 37, 18 girls) at the age of 3 and 5 were asked to modify three parameters – tempo, loudness, and pitch – in expressing three emotions – happiness, sadness, and anger. We hypothesised that both 5-year-olds and 3-year-olds could use each of the parameters in differentiating between the emotions. Results showed that 3-year-olds we…
Learning automata based energy-efficient AI hardware design for IoT applications
2020
Energy efficiency continues to be the core design challenge for artificial intelligence (AI) hardware designers. In this paper, we propose a new AI hardware architecture targeting Internet of Things applications. The architecture is founded on the principle of learning automata, defined using propositional logic. The logic-based underpinning enables low-energy footprints as well as high learning accuracy during training and inference, which are crucial requirements for efficient AI with long operating life. We present the first insights into this new architecture in the form of a custom-designed integrated circuit for pervasive applications. Fundamental to this circuit is systematic encodin…
Timoteo Calvo Ibarra (1799-1879). Un arquitecto valenciano durante el reinado de Isabel II.
2015
In the complex scene of valencian architecture of 19th century, Timoteo Calvo Ibarra should be considered as one of the most representative authors. In his designs and interventions, such as the Literary University, the construction of new Cathedral’s Altarpiece, they are apparent the peculiarities of the first Historicism, coincident with Isabelline period. In this first stage of historicism, the homogeneity and guarantee of good taste that classicism provided was no longer valid as unique option and it will be simultaneous with romantic architecture represented by the first historicist experiences, which will conclude with the burst onto the scene of the eclecticism in the restoration of …
Distributed radio map reconstruction for 5G automotive
2018
Se espera que los mapas de entorno radio sean una herramienta esencial para la optimización y gestión de recursos del 5G en vehículos. En este trabajo, consideramos el problema de la reconstrucción del mapa de entorno radio utilizando una red de sensores inalámbricos formada por nodos sensores en vehículos, nodos de acceso de una infraestructura de ciudad inteligente, etc. Debido a las limitaciones de recursos en las redes de sensores, es crucial seleccionar un pequeño número de mediciones de los sensores para reconstruir el campo. En este contexto, presentamos un novedoso algoritmo distribuido basado en el método de regresión Kriging para la reconstrucción del mapa de entorno radio en térm…

Microbiology and atmospheric processes: research challenges concerning the impact of airborne micro-organisms on the atmosphere and climate
2011
Cet article a fait l'objet d'une discussion dans "Morris, C. E., Sands, D. C., Bardin, M., Jaenicke, R., Vogel, B., Leyronas, C., Ariya, P. A., and Psenner, R.: Microbiology and atmospheric processes: an upcoming era of research on bio-meteorology, Biogeosciences Discuss., 5, 191-212, doi:10.5194/bgd-5-191-2008, 2008."; International audience; For the past 200 years, the field of aerobiology has explored the abundance, diversity, survival and transport of micro-organisms in the atmosphere. Micro-organisms have been explored as passive and severely stressed riders of atmospheric transport systems. Recently, an interest in the active roles of these micro-organisms has emerged along with prop…
INTRODUZIONE
2011
La conoscenza è fattore determinante nel raggiungimento di fini pratici e atto imprescindibile per l’evoluzione umana e per i processi innovativi che si innescano a causa della nostra innata capacità di “non essere mai sazi” di sapere. Il poeta Orazio, nelle sue Epistole (1, 2), esortava l’amico Massimo Lollio a «sápere aude!» («abbi il coraggio di sapere, di conoscere!»), offrendogli una serie di consigli, tutti improntati alla filosofia dell’aurea mediocritas1; tra questi è anche l’invito a “risolversi a essere saggio”, dedicandosi agli studi e alle occupazioni oneste (espressione diventata ulteriormente famosa grazie al filosofo tedesco Immanuel Kant, che ne fece il motto dell’Illuminism…
ARCHITECTURE AND INNOVATION FOR HERITAGE
2011
ARCHITECTURE AND INNOVATION FOR HERITAGE a cura di Giuseppe De Giovanni Emanuele Walter Angelico. Il Patrimonio Culturale o Heritage non è di facile definizione, perché racchiude in sé interpretazioni varie, articolate e dalle molteplici accezioni, in quanto riferibile a tutto ciò che riguarda in prima istanza il passato, inteso sia in senso concreto e materiale sia in senso astratto e immateriale, ma anche le relazioni e i collegamenti che appartengono al presente. Oggi, sotto questo termine è possibile riconoscere l’insieme delle tradizioni cosiddette immateriali: leggende, miti, usi e costumi, canoni, proverbi, feste popolari, valori etici e morali, prodotti e marchi (brand) propri di un…

Outer suburbs, car dependence and residential choice in France, In: Planning After Petroleum: Preparing Cities for the Age Beyond Oil
2016
In a discussion of the findings of extensive research of everyday household practices, this chapter suggests effective policy responses to increasingly more expensive petrol prices. Our research involved interviews, observations and analyses of low-income households adapting their mobility practices and residential locations within highly car-dependent urban environments. The chapter examines two main types of practices of households in car-dependent outer suburbs: either households opt 'to stay', forgoing sustained mobility and a varied range of activities, or they choose 'to go' and relocate in areas where travel costs are less of a burden on their budgets. Our research analyzed statistic…
