The White Stone of South-Eastern Sicily: Urban and Territorial Identity
2017
La Sicilia è un territorio fortemente "segnato" dall'impiego massiccio della ricca varietà di materiali lapidei che la natura ha messo a disposizione: materia prima dalle differenti qualità petrografiche, colore, caratteristiche tecniche e con una vasta possibilità di impiego, sia come elemento costruttivo sia come pietra ornamentale. La "pietra bianca" di Siracusa, il basalto dell'Etna, la "pietra forte" del ragusano, la pietra di Sabucina di Caltanissetta e Niscemi, le calcareniti e le rocce tufacee delle cave di Carini e Aspra, il calcare grigio di billiemi nel palermitano e il tufo calcareo di Agrigento, caratterizzano gran parte degli insediamenti antropici dell'isola, espressione di u…
Aplicación del Estimador de Parámetros de Segmentación por Media-desplazada (EPSM) a las imágenes de satélite de muy alta resolución espacial: Tetuán…
2015
<p>La segmentación de imágenes constituye un paso crucial en el Análisis de Imágenes Basado en Objetos (AIBO). Combinando distintos valores de los parámetros de entrada de los algoritmos de segmentación se obtienen diferentes resultados. En general, los parámetros óptimos seleccionados se determinan mediante interpretación visual; por lo tanto, la definición de las combinaciones óptimas es una tarea considerablemente difícil. En la presente investigación, se propone una herramienta analítica que denominamos Estimador de Parámetros de Segmentación por Media-desplazada (EPSM) aplicada a la selección automatizada de los valores de los parámetros de segmentación en las imágenes de satélit…

The Caribbean Plate margins are constituted by deformed belts built up since the Cretaceous in acompressional and strike-slip stress field, which allowed overthrusting of the Caribbean crust onto the Pacific,North and South American Plates.The Caribbean borders include Jurassic-Cretaceous ophiolitic units (Great Antilles, Venezuela, Costa Rica,Guatemala, etc.), composed by mantle peridotites, gabbros, volcanic and sedimentary covers, which have beendeformed in at least two ductile penetrative phases and were often metamorphosed in the prehnite-pumpelleyite,green and blue schist, amphibolite, and in places eclogite facies. These units may present part of a subductioncomplex or are an accreti…
Validation of a mapping and prediction model for human fasciolosis transmission in Andean very high altitude endemic areas using remote sensing data.
2001
The present paper aims to validate the usefulness of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) obtained by satellite remote sensing for the development of local maps of risk and for prediction of human fasciolosis in the Northern Bolivian Altiplano. The endemic area, which is located at very high altitudes (3800-4100 m) between Lake Titicaca and the valley of the city of La Paz, presents the highest prevalences and intensities of fasciolosis known in humans. NDVI images of 1.1 km resolution from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) sensor on board the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) series of environmental satellites appear to provide adequate …

New public management and the reform of education: European lessons for policy and practice
2017
En los últimos años, las reformas de Nueva Gestión Pública (NGP) se han intensificado en todo el mundo, convirtiéndose en una pieza central en la agenda educativa global. En consecuencia, muchos países europeos han emprendido procesos de modernización inspirados por la NGP (que en ocasiones, se combina con políticas pro-privatización), que están transformando los modos de gobierno y el ethos del sector público (Gunter, Grimaldi, Hall y Serpieri, 2016).
La aportación de las agrupaciones musicales escolares a la sociedad
2014
ABSTRACT We know that from a scientific perspective, activating certain musical stimuli produces brain activation. With the school, musical ensembles required previously activated the techniques of hearing and interpretation of individually to achieve the group, motor, perceptual, cognitive skills and affective processes enable and socialization. In this way, the attention to diversity would not be excluded. Music, in short, favors the development of the person in all its dimensions, which results in an improvement of the quality of life and a breakthrough to personal, family, school, clinical and social level. The musical activity is as an introduction into the irreplaceable cultural frame…
The behaviour of non consumer of organic food: suggestions on marketing strategies to attract new market segments
2013
Oggi le produzioni agricole biologiche sono in netta crescita sia a livello internazionale che nazionale. Tra le regioni italiane la Sicilia rappresenta la principale area di produzione e si colloca all’ultimo posto relativamente ai consumi. Attraverso un’indagine pilota nella citta di Palermo, si e voluto indagare, sui motivi del mancato acquisto di prodotti biologici per comprendere quali sono le leve del marketing mix su cui e possibile intervenire per attrarre nuovi segmenti di mercato. L’indagine e stata realizzata intervistando un campione di non-consumatori di alimenti biologi presso alcuni supermercati della citta. I campioni, degli intervistati e dei supermercati, sono stati selezi…
La circulation des objets métalliques à l'âge du Bronze entre Rhône et Saône: utilisation d'une transformation cartographique linéaire
2006
In order to gain a better understanding of circulation flows of metal objects during the Bronze Age, and move beyond traditional distribution maps of archaeological discoveries, the authors propose a more quantitative and concise method of graphic representation, namely cartographic linear transformation. The value of the method was tested on the Saône-Rhône axis. Bronze axes, swords and daggers were recorded along a 50 km strip either side of the river axis, in order to estimate the frequency and mass of objects in “circulation”.
