Don’t miss your train! Just follow the computer screen animation: Comprehension of animated public information graphics
2014
Computer graphic animated information displays have the potential to communicate public information in situations where normal announcement types are ineffective. This study used eye tracking techniques to analyze comprehension mechanism of event-related information on railway traffic disruptions presented via different graphic formats presented on computer screen. 86 participants were asked to understand series of traffic disruption messages delivered via four purely visual formats: Static simultaneous, Static sequential, Animated simultaneous and Animated sequential. Across these four conditions, and contrary to the most common materials used in the studies on animation comprehension, the…
«Nomina sunt consequentia rerum» anche nella controversia sul danno al concepito per malformazioni genetiche. Il punto dopo le Sezioni unite, 22 dice…
2016
La nota commenta la sentenza delle Sezioni unite del 22 dicembre 2015, n. 25767 sulla controversia questione del danno c.d. da nascita indesiderata e del c.d. danno da vita indesiderata. L'autore sottopone ad analisi la sentenza alla luce dei precedenti della medesima corte, soffermandosi sul problema della distribuzione dei temi di prova in sede di giudizio di responsabilità per violazione da parte del medico dell'obbligo di informare la paziente, sul dilemma dello status giuridico del concepito e infine sul tema delicatissimo della sussistenza o meno di un danno da malformazioni genetiche, indicato anche come c.d. danno da vita indesiderata.
The limits of the rotating wave approximation in electromagnetic field propagation in a cavity
2005
We consider three two-level atoms inside a one-dimensional cavity, interacting with the electromagnetic field in the rotating wave approximation (RWA), commonly used in the atom-radiation interaction. One of the three atoms is initially excited, and the other two are in their ground state. We numerically calculate the propagation of the field spontaneously emitted by the excited atom and scattered by the second atom, as well as the excitation probability of the second and third atom. The results obtained are analyzed from the point of view of relativistic causality in the atom-field interaction. We show that, when the RWA is used, relativistic causality is obtained only if the integrations …
Causality, non-locality and three-body Casimir–Polder energy between three ground-state atoms
2006
The problem of relativistic causality in the time-dependent three-body Casimir–Polder interaction energy between three atoms, initially in their bare ground-state, is discussed. It is shown that the non-locality of the spatial correlations of the electromagnetic field emitted by the atoms during their dynamical self-dressing may become manifest in the dynamical three-body Casimir–Polder interaction energy between the three atoms.
Fibre Bundle for Spin and Charge in General Relativity
2000
The Lorentzian and spin structures of general relativity are shown to allow a natural extension, by means of which the set of possible electromagnetic bundles is linked to the topology and geometry of the underlying causal structure. Further, both the Dirac operator and the electromagnetic potential are obtainable from a single linear connection 1-form.
Physical integration: A causal account for consciousness
2014
The issue of integration in neural networks is intimately connected with that of consciousness. In this paper, integration as an effective level of physical organization is contrasted with a methodological integrative approach. Understanding how consciousness arises out of neural processes requires a model of integration in just causal physical terms. Based on a set of feasible criteria (physical grounding, causal efficacy, no circularity and scaling), a causal account of physical integration for consciousness centered on joint causation is outlined.
Do Individual Effects Reflect Quantitative or Qualitative Differences in Cognition?
2021
Rouder and Haaf (2020) posed the important question if there are some individuals whose behavior is not in accordance with well-established experimental effects and whether these individual differences are quantitative or qualitative in nature. In our commentary, we discuss the distinction between quantitative and qualitative individual differences and between individual and average causal effects and come to the conclusion that this is not a new question, but in fact one that has already been discussed by Gordon W. Allport (1937) and Donald B. Rubin (1974, 1978). Moreover, we critically examine their proposed rule of thumb to collect about 100 trials per experimental condition to reliably …
El sistema de continuidad como proceso unificador
2007
El sistema de continuidad es un procedimiento de construcción de relatos audiovisuales que tiene como fundamento la causalidad narrativa y un conjunto de normas de elaboración, especialmente en el montaje, cuya finalidad es mostrar al espectador un desarrollo argumental lógico que se desarrolla en un espacio-tiempo diegético coherente. La continuidad, está sometida a un modelo ideológico de representación que condiciona la percepción. La continuidad no es, por lo tanto, un concepto absoluto, sino que evoluciona a lo largo del tiempo. Sin embargo, el sistema de continuidad permanece vigente porque garantiza el predominio de la cadena causal y la inmersión del espectador en el universo diegét…
