Detection of local specular gloss and surface roughness from black prints

2007

A combination of optical and tomographic imaging techniques for inspection of local surface roughness and specular gloss of black prints and coated paper are introduced. A diffractive optical-element-based glossmeter (DOG) and a low-coherence interferometer (LCI) were used to obtain local information about the print in terms of topographic and gloss maps. X-ray microcomputed tomography (μCT) was used to obtain 3D local structural information of the coated paper. Gloss and topographic maps were used to determine statistical gloss and roughness parameters. These parameters were useful when analysing the surface condition of prints and coated paper. We found an orientation-dependent gloss slop…

La Cualidad del apego infantil y sensibilidad materna desde la perspectiva microsofial [The quality of attachment in childhood and maternal sensivity…

2011

Research in the area of early mother-child interaction and the development of attachment, points to the importance of advancing the study of the maternal sensitivity construct. In this pa per we describe the process followed to opera cionalise and analyze “maternal sensitivity” us ing microsocial approach. This approach can reveal empirical sequential patterns in the in teractional dyadic context that cannot be cap tured with rating scales. To describe the re search process used, this paper presents: the CITMI-R ( Codigos de Interaccion Temprana Materno-Infantil , Early Mother ‐Child Interac tion Codes) coding system and its developments, some relevant findings using sequential analyses in …

Prostitution voluntary or forced. A contribution to the debate

2011

La tesis abolicionista de que nadie puede elegir libremente vender su cuerpo ha sido cuestionada por quienes reclaman el reconocimiento de derechos laborales para los trabajadores del sexo, lo cual ha dado lugar a una encendida polémica sobre el carácter voluntario o forzado de la prostitución. Los testimonios de veintitrés mujeres (incluyendo cinco ex prostitutas), recogidos mediante entrevistas en profundidad, sugieren que todas ellas están situadas en un punto intermedio del continuum que va desde la coerción criminal hasta la opción vocacional. Los pasajes relativos específicamente al itinerario de acceso a este mundo permiten distinguir tres tipos de prostitución en función del grado d…

The function of mirror neurons in the learning process

2017

In the last years, Neurosciences have developed very much, being elaborated many important theories scientific research in the field. The main goal of neuroscience is to understand how groups of neurons interact to create the behavior. Neuroscientists studying the action of molecules, genes and cells. It also explores the complex interactions involved in motion perception, thoughts, emotions and learning. Brick fundamental nervous system is the nerve cell, neuron. Neurons exchange information by sending electrical signals and chemical through connections called synapses. Discovered by a group of Italian researchers from the University of Parma, neurons - mirror are a special class of nerve …

Between Composition and Emergentness: A Cognitive Semantics Re-Reading of the Way-Construction

2016

This study re-analyzes the English way-construction by having recourse to diverse concepts and tools of Talmy’s cognitive semantics. Drawing on his theory of recombinance and its relevance for conceptualizing the construction, the article implements Talmy’s theory of event integration, categorizes the way-construction as an instantiation of the open path event frame, considers link-ups of the schematic systems of force dynamics and attention as they become instantiated in the construction, and probes into its motion-aspect patterning, grounded in a conformation of space and time and resulting in a strategy that is called de-conflation. Further, it will recruit Talmy’s types of semantic conf…

What can the concept of affective scaffolding do for us?

2020

The concept of affective scaffolding designates the various ways in which we manipulate the environment to influence our affective lives. In this article, I present a constructive critique of recent discussion on affective scaffolding. In Part 1, I summarize how the theories of situated mind and niche construction contribute to a multidimensional notion of scaffolding. In Part 2, I focus specifically on affective scaffolding and argue that current ambiguity over its distinctive criteria causes uncertainty as to how the concept can and should be used. In Part 3, I identify and examine two possible responses to the suggested state of conceptual ambiguity. The first, restrictive option is to k…

David Marr: A Theory for Cerebral Neocortex

1986

This paper is an important contribution to the understanding of the visual system, it contains a part of those ideas which have become the commonly accepted basis of current research. Although some of these principles already had a history in 1970, Marr clearly deserves the credit for their sharp formulation and for a series of attempts leading to a formalization of the problems. His way of dividing the approach into the levels of computational theory, of the algorithm and of the implementation clarified the problems. His creed that human visual processing is modular, and that different types of information, which are encoded in the image can be decoded independently by modules, has been ge…
