Optimization of image parameters using a hyperspectral library application to soil identification and moisture estimation
2009
The growing number of sensors raises questions about the image parameters required for the application, soil identification and moisture estimation. Hyperspectral images are also known to contain highly redundant information. Hence not all the spectral bands are needed for the satisfactory classification of the soil types. Hence, the work was aimed at obtaining these optimal spectral bands for identifying the soil types and to use these spectral bands to estimate the moisture content of the soils using the method proposed by Whiting et.al.
Optical contrast of 2D InSe on SiO2/Si and transparent substrates using bandpass filters
2017
The particular optical and electronic properties recently reported for 2D InSe depict this 2D material as being very versatile for future electronic and optoelectronic devices with tunable and optimized functionalities. For its fundamental study and the development of practical applications, rapid and accurate identification methods of atomically thin InSe are essential. Here, we demonstrate an enhancement of the optical contrast between InSe nanosheets and the underlying SiO2/Si substrate by illuminating with a 40 nm wide bandpass filter centered at 500 nm. Moreover, we study the optical contrast of 2D InSe on transparent substrates. Our results suggest that a good optical contrast is achi…
Identità e territori, abbandoni e ritorni
2020
Il contributo riflette sulle identità dei territori, e su come queste siano in grado di orientare certe dinamiche all’interno delle comunità, sul fenomeno dello spopolamento e degli abbandoni – problema che negli ultimi tempi, soprattutto nel Meridione italiano, è al centro del dibattito politico e scientifico – e sul caso specifico di Mamoiada, comune della Sardegna interna che, sino agli anni Novanta del secolo scorso, ha scontato un importante decremento della popolazione e una forte disgregazione sociale dovuti in massima parte ai fatti criminali che si sono succeduti per più di trent’anni e oggi, come la quasi totalità dei comuni delle aree interne, si confronta con la denatalità, l’in…
ChemInform Abstract: Photoelectrochemical Study of Electrochemically Formed Semiconducting Yttrium Hydride (YH3-x).
2010
Abstract The first photoelectrochemical study of semiconducting YH 3− x films formed by etching bulk Y metal in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 solution is reported. The formation of semiconducting hydride having an indirect optical band gap, E g opt , of about 2.35 eV is confirmed by in situ photocurrent spectroscopy. The photoelectrochemical behaviour of such a phase was investigated both in alkaline and in acidic solutions. The flat band potential was estimated to be U fb =−1.25 V/NHE, independent of pH.
On the Statistical Analysis of Equal Gain Combining over Multiple Double Rice Fading Channels in Cooperative Networks
2010
This article analyzes the statistical properties of narrowband mobile-to-mobile (M2M) fading channels with equal gain combining (EGC) under line-of-sight (LOS) propagation conditions. Here, we study a dual-hop amplify-and-forward (AF)relay network. It is assumed that there can exist LOS components in the transmission links between the source mobile station and the destination mobile station via K mobile relays. In order to cater for asymmetric fading conditions in the relay links, the received signal envelope at the output of the equal gain (EG) combiner is thus modeled as a sum of K double Rice processes. These processes are considered to be independent but not necessarily identically dist…
¿Se benefician de los programas de intervención que no tratan específicamente el consumo de alcohol los maltratadores con problemas de consumo abusiv…
2013
En el ámbito de la intervención con maltratadores y de la investigación en torno a la mejora de la efectividad de estas intervenciones el consumo abusivo de alcohol ha sido uno de los factores de riesgo que ha recibido especial atención. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la relación entre el consumo abusivo de alcohol, el proceso de cambio debido a la intervención y el abandono prematuro. Para ello se utilizó una muestra de 86 hombres consumidores de riesgo y 80 hombres no consumidores de riesgo, todos ellos condenados por violencia contra la mujer en las relaciones de pareja y participando en un programa de intervención en medio comunitario que no trata específicamente el problema de…

InN thin film lattice dynamics by grazing incidence inelastic x-ray scattering.
2011
Achieving comprehensive information on thin film lattice dynamics so far has eluded well established spectroscopic techniques. We demonstrate here the novel application of grazing incidence inelastic x-ray scattering combined with ab initio calculations to determine the complete elastic stiffness tensor, the acoustic and low-energy optic phonon dispersion relations of thin wurtzite indium nitride films. Indium nitride is an especially relevant example, due to the technological interest for optoelectronic and solar cell applications in combination with other group III nitrides.
LDA+Uand tight-binding electronic structure of InN nanowires
2013
In this paper we employ a combined ab initio and tight-binding approach to obtain the electronic and optical properties of hydrogenated Indium nitride InN nanowires. We first discuss InN band structure for the wurtzite structure calculated at the LDA+U level and use this information to extract the parameters needed for an empirical tight-binging implementation. These parameters are then employed to calculate the electronic and optical properties of InN nanowires in a diameter range that would not be affordable by ab initio techniques. The reliability of the large nanowires results is assessed by explicitly comparing the electronic structure of a small diameter wire studied both at LDA+U and…
A branch and bound algorithm for the matrix bandwidth minimization
2008
In this article, we first review previous exact approaches as well as theoretical contributions for the problem of reducing the bandwidth of a matrix. This problem consists of finding a permutation of the rows and columns of a given matrix which keeps the non-zero elements in a band that is as close as possible to the main diagonal. This NP-complete problem can also be formulated as a labeling of vertices on a graph, where edges are the non-zero elements of the corresponding symmetrical matrix. We propose a new branch and bound algorithm and new expressions for known lower bounds for this problem. Empirical results with a collection of previously reported instances indicate that the propose…
