Development of a High Irradiance LED Configuration for Small Field of View Motion Estimation of Fertilizer Particles
2015
International audience; Better characterization of the fertilizer spreading process, especially the fertilizer pattern distribution on the ground, requires an accurate measurement of individual particle properties and dynamics. Both 2D and 3D high speed imaging techniques have been developed for this purpose. To maximize the accuracy of the predictions, a specific illumination level is required. This paper describes the development of a high irradiance LED system for high speed motion estimation of fertilizer particles. A spectral sensitivity factor was used to select the optimal LED in relation to the used camera from a range of commercially available high power LEDs. A multiple objective …
The experimental facility for the Search for Hidden Particles at the CERN SPS
2019
The Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) Collaboration has shown that the CERN SPS accelerator with its 400 $\mathrm{\small GeV/c}$ proton beam offers a unique opportunity to explore the Hidden Sector. The proposed experiment is an intensity frontier experiment which is capable of searching for hidden particles through both visible decays and through scattering signatures from recoil of electrons or nuclei. The high-intensity experimental facility developed by the SHiP collaboration is based on a number of key features and developments which provide the possibility of probing a large part of the parameter space for a wide range of models with light long-lived superweakly interacting particles…
ARCHITECTURAL SURVEY TECHNIQUES FOR DEGRADATION DIAGNOSTICS. AN APPLICATION FOR THE CULTURAL HERITAGE
2021
Abstract. The great technological development in recent years in the field of architectural survey has made possible increasingly expeditious and less invasive investigations with the aim of acquiring a series of data related to the asset and fundamental for the protection of cultural heritage. In addition, the synergy between the various techniques represents an added value able, not only, to fill possible gaps and lacks arising from application limits of the instruments, but also to enhance the peculiarities of the same. This paper presents an integrated survey activity (range-based, image-based and IR thermography techniques) aimed at applying the combination and collaboration of multipl…
A model of adaptive decision-making from representation of information environment by quantum fields
2017
We present the mathematical model of decision making (DM) of agents acting in a complex and uncertain environment (combining huge variety of economical, financial, behavioral, and geo-political factors). To describe interaction of agents with it, we apply the formalism of quantum field theory (QTF). Quantum fields are of the purely informational nature. The QFT-model can be treated as a far relative of the expected utility theory, where the role of utility is played by adaptivity to an environment (bath). However, this sort of utility-adaptivity cannot be represented simply as a numerical function. The operator representation in Hilbert space is used and adaptivity is described as in quantu…
Text Compression Using Antidictionaries
1999
International audience; We give a new text compression scheme based on Forbidden Words ("antidictionary"). We prove that our algorithms attain the entropy for balanced binary sources. They run in linear time. Moreover, one of the main advantages of this approach is that it produces very fast decompressors. A second advantage is a synchronization property that is helpful to search compressed data and allows parallel compression. Our algorithms can also be presented as "compilers" that create compressors dedicated to any previously fixed source. The techniques used in this paper are from Information Theory and Finite Automata.
E-learning approach of the graph coloring problem applied to register allocation in embedded systems
2016
The main aim of this paper consists in developing an effective e-learning tool, focused on evolutionary algorithms, in order to solve the graph coloring problem. Subsidiary, we apply graph coloring for register allocation in embedded systems. From didactic viewpoint, our tool has benefits in the learning process because it helps students to observe the relationship between the graph coloring problem and CPU registers allocation with the help of four developed modules: the genetic algorithm, the graphical viewer, the interference graph for a C program and a web application which collects the simulation results. All these applications are combined by a graphical interface which allows the use…
Tally languages accepted by Monte Carlo pushdown automata
1997
Rather often difficult (and sometimes even undecidable) problems become easily decidable for tally languages, i.e. for languages in a single-letter alphabet. For instance, the class of languages recognizable by 1-way nondeterministic pushdown automata equals the class of the context-free languages, but the class of the tally languages recognizable by 1-way nondeterministic pushdown automata, contains only regular languages [LP81]. We prove that languages over one-letter alphabet accepted by randomized one-way 1-tape Monte Carlo pushdown automata are regular. However Monte Carlo pushdown automata can be much more concise than deterministic 1-way finite state automata.
Minimal forbidden words and factor automata
1998
International audience; Let L(M) be the (factorial) language avoiding a given antifactorial language M. We design an automaton accepting L(M) and built from the language M. The construction is eff ective if M is finite. If M is the set of minimal forbidden words of a single word v, the automaton turns out to be the factor automaton of v (the minimal automaton accepting the set of factors of v). We also give an algorithm that builds the trie of M from the factor automaton of a single word. It yields a non-trivial upper bound on the number of minimal forbidden words of a word.
Una storia italiana: Giorgio e Isabella
2018
Si tratta, qui, della storia di due italiani dalla “pelle scura” raccontata, per Giorgio Marincola, da Carlo Costa e Lorenzo Teodonio in Razza partigiana e, per la sorella Isabella, da Wu Ming 2 e Antar Mohamed in Timira. Romanzo meticcio. Le loro vicende, così come molti altri aspetti della nostra storia coloniale, neocoloniale e postcoloniale, sono riemerse dal buio nel quale erano state occultate solo nell’ultimo quindicennio, grazie alla riapertura degli archivi che ha permesso di ridiscutere molti degli aspetti che nelle pagine di Storia, così come in quelle letterarie, erano stati raccontati in altro modo. I due testi, che hanno inevitabilmente finito per incontrarsi e che potremmo in…
Histophotometry: a new method for automated histological examination of solid tissue samples demonstrated on bladder cancer.
1979
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the ability of a new method to discriminate between benign and malignant tissue. Tissue samples from three patients with bladder tumours and one patient with bladder diverticula have been examined by histophotometry. This method, based on the correlation of nuclear volume and nucleic acid contents per cell uses thick formalin fixed samples. The results are obtained by measurements averaging more than one hundred thousand cells per sample. By this histophotometric examination a clear differentiation between malignant and benign tissue could be achieved. It was also possible to determine the degree of malignancy and to differentiate between infiltr…
