Abitare in estensione
2014
Il saggio “Abitare in estensione” costituisce un’articolata premessa ai diversi contributi presenti nel volume esito delle attività dell’Unità di ricerca della Facoltà di Architettura di Palermo del Prin 2009 dal titolo Dalla campagna urbanizzata alla “città in estensione”: le norme compositive dell’architettura del territorio dei centri minori (Coordinatore nazionale Prof. Lugi Ramazzotti, responsabile dell’UDR locale Prof. Andrea Sciascia). Dalla stesura del modello B alla pubblicazione finale del Prin trascorrono in media tre anni. Anzi, qualche mese in meno, in considerazione dei tempi sempre più brevi imposti dalle nuove norme che regolano la rendicontazione finale. Durante questo peri…
A tale of two palaces and a city: Valencia, 1238-1460
2013
Este artículo estudia las relaciones entre el palacio del Real (Palau del Real), la residencia de los reyes de Aragón en Valencia y la Casa de la Ciudad (Casa de la Ciutat o Sala del Consell) desde la conquista cristiana hasta el final del reinado de Alfonso V el Magnánimo. Durante dos siglos la corte real y el gobierno de la ciudad manifestaron la alianza, la rivalidad y los conflictos a través de la arquitectura y la decoración de sus respectivas sedes. Los emplazamientos, las grandes salas, las capillas con reliquias y las fiestas cívicas desempeñaron un papel notable como instrumentos al servicio tanto de los reyes y sus oficiales como de los consejeros municipales. Aunque ambos palacio…
La double signification des clos monastiques sur la côte de Nuits (Bourgogne, France) : étude archéologique et historique du Clos de Vougeot et d'aut…
2011
International audience; Sur le coteau, depuis Dijon et jusqu'au nord de Chalon-sur-Saône, une mer de vigne s'étend sur une bande étroite de moins de 5 km de large et longue de près de 60 km. Malgré la monoculture viticole, l'espace est subdivisé en d'innombrables parcelles, elles-mêmes partagées entre autant de propriétaires. Ce morcellement du territoire se retrouve aussi dans tous les chemins, meurgers et murs qui délimitent des espaces, plus ou moins fermés et plus ou moins vastes, appelés climats . Dans ce contexte où la délimitation est omniprésente, les clos viticoles jouent un rôle important dans la structuration de l'espace alors que leur origine exacte reste assez floue...

A gearbox model for processing large volumes of data by using pipeline systems encapsulated into virtual containers
2020
Software pipelines enable organizations to chain applications for adding value to contents (e.g., confidentially, reliability, and integrity) before either sharing them with partners or sending them to the cloud. However, the pipeline components add overhead when processing large volumes of data, which can become critical in real-world scenarios. This paper presents a gearbox model for processing large volumes of data by using pipeline systems encapsulated into virtual containers. In this model, the gears represent applications, whereas gearboxes represent software pipelines. This model was implemented as a collaborative system that automatically performs Gear up (by using parallel patterns…
Balancing Structural and Temporal Constraints in Multitasking Contexts
2016
Recent research has shown that when people multitask, both the subtask structure and the temporal constraints of the component tasks strongly influence people’s task-switching behavior. In this paper, we propose an integrated theoretical account and associated computational model that aims to quantify how people balance structural and temporal constraints in everyday multitasking. We validate the theory using data from an empirical study in which drivers performed a visual-search task while navigating a driving environment. Through examination of illustrative protocols from the model and human drivers as well as the overall fit on the aggregate glance data, we explore the implications of th…
Extracellular matrix fiber microarchitecture is region-specific in bicuspid aortic valve-associated ascending aortopathy
2016
Abstract Objective Ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm (ATAA) in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) commonly dilate asymmetrically compared with patients with tricuspid aortic valve (TAV). This discrepancy in aneurysm geometry led us to hypothesize that microarchitectural differences underlie the observed asymmetric dilatation pattern. The purpose of this study was to characterize the microarchitectural distinctions of the extracellular matrix of the 2 phenotypes with a focus on the proportion of radially oriented elastin and collagen fibers in different circumferential aortic regions. Methods Aortic tissue rings were obtained just distal to the sinotubular junction from patients with…
Java-COM integration with JACOB using XML wrappers
2006
Many Windows-based legacy applications can be programmatically accessed using COM interfaces. However, calling COM components from Java is not straightforward. This report compares four open source Java-COM integration packages. A technique for typesafe Java-COM integration is presented. The technique is based on typesafe COM interface wrappers using jcom, java2com and JACOB libraries. Examples with Microsoft Office applications are presented. XML wrapper and code generator can be bundled with future JACOB releases as an alternative to Jacobgen wrapper generator. nonPeerReviewed
Effects of Prior Knowledge on Comprehending Text About Learning Strategies
2021
Good knowledge and skills in using different learning strategies is important for learning with understanding and even more critical during distance learning. Findings indicate that students tend to use and value ineffective learning strategies, thus there is need to educate students. This study aimed to analyze the possibility of using refutation text on learning strategies that students can study independently. The study examined how reported use of learning strategies and preexisting beliefs about the effectiveness of rehearsal and comprehension-oriented strategies relate to the comprehension of text about learning strategies, and how text comprehension is related to later use of strateg…
An Optimized Architecture for CGA Operations and Its Application to a Simulated Robotic Arm
2022
Conformal geometric algebra (CGA) is a new geometric computation tool that is attracting growing attention in many research fields, such as computer graphics, robotics, and computer vision. Regarding the robotic applications, new approaches based on CGA have been proposed to efficiently solve problems as the inverse kinematics and grasping of a robotic arm. The hardware acceleration of CGA operations is required to meet real-time performance requirements in embedded robotic platforms. In this paper, we present a novel embedded coprocessor for accelerating CGA operations in robotic tasks. Two robotic algorithms, namely, inverse kinematics and grasping of a human-arm-like kinematics chain, ar…
