Attention-Based Landmark Selection in Autonomous Robotics
2007
This paper describes a robotic architecture that uses visual attention mechanisms for autonomous navigation in unknown indoor environments. A foveation mechanism based on a bottom-up attention system allows the robot to autonomously select landmarks, defined as salient points in the camera images. Landmarks are memorized in a behavioral fashion by coupling sensing and acting to achieve a representation that is view and scale independent. Selected landmarks are stored in a topological map. During the navigation a top-down mechanism controls the attention system to achieve robot localization. Experiments and results show that our system is robust to noise and odometric errors, being at the sa…
Development of a Roadmap for the Implementation of a Sustainable Mobility Action Plan in University Campuses of Emerging Countries
2022
Universities are centers of knowledge and their Campuses are like small cities, thus making them the ideal place to develop, apply and evaluate policies and tools for innovative mobility solutions that can subsequently be extended to other contexts. A review of mobility measures in different European Universities has revealed that many of them apply policies to promote sustainable mobility, but there is a significant lack of standardized mobility plans and roadmaps for their successful implementation. The objective of the present work is to develop a successful roadmap, which is necessary for the smooth implementation of a mobility plan, as it has been found through a thorough review of goo…
A museum system of design/craft for sustainable development in southern Italy
2018
Abstract: In this extended abstract we are going to explain an academic project entitled “THE SYSTEM OF TERRITORIAL DESIGN SYSTEMS. Cultural tourism, craftsmanship and design for the local development of the production enterprises of excellence in Southern Italy and Made in Italy”. It is based on the cooperation among designers and artisans in order to encourage the development of local craft- based production, by creating a REGIONAL MUSEUM SYSTEM OF DESIGN AND APPLIED ARTS in the five regions of Southern Italy. Then, the “SYSTEM OF THE SYSTEMS” is constituted of the five specific museum systems to be created in each region; these systems - especially in Campania and Sicily – can then repre…
Vietējo iedzīvotāju viedoklis par Liepājas Karostas pludmales statusu
2021
Bakalaura darba tēma bija “Vietējo iedzīvotāju viedoklis par Liepājas Karostas pludmales statusu”. Darba mērķis bija noskaidrot Liepājas iedzīvotāju, kuri apmeklēja Karostas pludmali pagājušajā peldsezonā (no 2020. gada 15. maija līdz 2020. gada 15. septembrim), viedokli par Karostas pludmales tagadējo statusu. Lai sasniegtu bakalaura darba mērķi, tika veikta Liepājas iedzīvotāju aptaujāšana, eksperta intervija, normatīvo aktu analīze, Liepājas pludmaļu vizuālā materiāla iegūšana, lai veiktu to vizuālo salīdzinājumu, un informācijas iegūšana no dažādām iesaistītājām pusēm, kas tika izmantotas šī gadījuma izpētē. Darba ietvarā tika noskaidrots vietējo iedzīvotāju viedoklis par Karostas pludm…
Response to Skeide and Friederici: The myth of the uniquely human “direct” dorsal pathway
2015
In their comment on our recent article [1], Skeide and Friederici [2] claim ‘that some important data not discussed by Bornkessel-Schlesewsky et al. strongly support the view that there are clear qualitative, and not merely quantitative, differences between [human and nonhuman primate] species with respect to both the intrinsic functional connectivity of frontal and temporal cortices, and their direct structural connection via a dorsal white matter fiber tract.’ This obviously refers to work by Friederici and colleagues [3] emphasizing the functional importance of a direct connection between the posterior superior temporal cortex (pSTC) and Brodmann area (BA) 44 in humans, and its absence i…
Thermodynamic class II Szekeres-Szafron solutions. Singular models
2019
A family of parabolic Szekeres-Szafron class II solutions in local thermal equilibrium is studied and their associated thermodynamics are obtained. The subfamily with the hydrodynamic behavior of a generic ideal gas (defined by the equation of state $p = k n \Theta$) results to be an inhomogeneous generalization of flat FLRW $\gamma$-law models. Three significative interpretations that follow on from the choice of three specific thermodynamic schemes are analyzed in depth. First, the generic ideal gas in local thermal equilibrium; this interpretation leads to an inhomogeneous temperature $\Theta$. Second, the thermodynamics with homogeneous temperature considered by Lima and Tiomno (CQG 6 1…
Solid state 13C-NMR methodology for the cellulose composition studies of the shells of Prunus dulcis and their derived cellulosic materials.
2020
Lignocellulosic fibers and microcellulose have been obtained by simple alkaline treatment from softwood al- mond shells. In particular, the Prunus dulcis Miller (D.A.) Webb. was considered as a agro industrial waste largely available in southern Italy. The materials before and after purification have been characterized by 13C CPMAS NMR spectroscopy methodology. A proper data analysis provided the relative composition of lignin and holo- cellulose at each purification step and the results were compared with thermogravimetric analysis and FT-IR. To value the possibility of using this material in a circular economy framework, the fibrous cellulosic material was used to manufacture a handmade c…
Comparing illicit drug use in 19 European cities through sewage analysis
2012
Abstract: The analysis of sewage for urinary biomarkers of illicit drugs is a promising and complementary approach for estimating the use of these substances in the general population. For the first time, this approach was simultaneously applied in 19 European cities, making it possible to directly compare illicit drug loads in Europe over a 1-week period. An inter-laboratory comparison study was performed to evaluate the analytical performance of the participating laboratories. Raw 24-hour composite sewage samples were collected from 19 European cities during a single week in March 2011 and analyzed for the urinary biomarkers of cocaine, amphetamine, ecstasy, methamphetamine and cannabis u…
EFFECT OF PROCESSING TEMPERATURE VARIATION ON STORAGE STABILITY OF TIRE RUBBER MODIFIED BINDERS
2012
Tire Rubber Modified Binders (TR-MBs), produced through wet process and used worldwide (e.g. asphalt rubber), have been demonstrated to provide various benefits to pavements and, moreover, represent a good opportunity for recycling tire rubber. However, this technology is still struggling to be fully adopted in Europe, mainly because of the poor stability of TR-MBs during high temperature storage, which leads to high initial costs in modifying existing asphalt plants. No-agitation TR-MBs (also known as terminal blends) are proving to be a great option and their development could also be the key to spreading the use of tire rubber in paving applications in Europe. This paper aims to enrich t…
