A new approach to register variation : the missing link

2006

El objetivo del presente artículo es dirigir la atención de los especialistas hacia la noción de registro lingüístico con el fin de promover nuevos métodos de analizar los registros actuales. A pesar de la falta de claridad en su definición y la frecuente confusión con otros tipos de variación lingüística, el movimiento a través de toda la gama de registros es uno de los instrumentos comunicativos más efectivos y de uso más frecuente que posee una lengua para adaptarse a los diversos entornos privados, sociales y profesionales. Sin embargo, este movimiento es uno de los mecanismos más difíciles de percibir, aprender y utilizar correctamente, sobre todo en el caso de hablantes extranjeros y …

Color constancy in dermatoscopy with smartphone

2017

The recent spread of cheap dermatoscopes for smartphones can empower patients to acquire images of skin lesions on their own and send them to dermatologists. Since images are acquired by different smartphone cameras under unique illumination conditions, the variability in colors is expected. Therefore, the mobile dermatoscopic systems should be calibrated in order to ensure the color constancy in skin images. In this study, we have tested a dermatoscope DermLite DL1 basic, attached to Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone. Under the controlled conditions, jpeg images of standard color patches were acquired and a model between an unknown device-dependent RGB and a device independent Lab color space h…

Los autores principales de esta investigación son: Patrici Calvo (2012, 2017, 2018), para hablar de la cooperación desde la ética de la razón cordial, corriente filosóf…

Quando l’amnios si rompe troppo presto e… da solo

2022

Rupture of the amniochorionic membranes is a recognized risk factor in the second and third trimester for chorioamnionitis, sepsis and preterm delivery. The isolated rupture of amnion is conversely responsible for a malformation spectrum known as early amnion rupture sequence or ADAM (Amniotic Deformity, Adhesions, Mutilations) complex, characterized by asymmetrical congenital anomalies, including limb reduction and craniofacial defects, usually arising during the 2nd or 3rd trimester of gestation. The paper reports the case of a 4-month-old infant who was referred for genetic counselling in the suspicion of malformation syndrome with asymmetrical limb reduction defects. The present case un…

Age Differences in the Response of Willow Tits (Parus montanus ) to Conspecific Alarm Calls

2003

Predation is an important mortality factor in wintering birds. To counter this, birds produce alarm calls in the presence of predators which serve to warn conspecifics. In social hierarchical bird flocks, adults survive the winter better than juveniles and therefore survival strategies probably vary with social status. This study examined the differential responses to alarm calls by free-living willow tits, Parus montanus, in dominance-structured winter flocks in Finland. To explore the age-dependent differences in response to conspecific alarm calls, a series with three alarm calls was played to focal adults and juveniles while they sat in the middle section of a spruce branch. Immediately…

The IceCube data acquisition system: Signal capture, digitization, and timestamping

2008

IceCube is a km-scale neutrino observatory under construction at the South Pole with sensors both in the deep ice (InIce) and on the surface (IceTop). The sensors, called Digital Optical Modules (DOMs), detect, digitize and timestamp the signals from optical Cherenkov-radiation photons. The DOM Main Board (MB) data acquisition subsystem is connected to the central DAQ in the IceCube Laboratory (ICL) by a single twisted copper wire-pair and transmits packetized data on demand. Time calibration is maintained throughout the array by regular transmission to the DOMs of precisely timed analog signals, synchronized to a central GPS-disciplined clock. The design goals and consequent features, func…
