Boundary behavior of quasi-regular maps and the isodiametric profile
2001
We study obstructions for a quasi-regular mapping f : M → N f:M\rightarrow N of finite degree between Riemannian manifolds to blow up on or collapse on a non-trivial part of the boundary of M M .
Evaluating the structure and use of hiking trails in recreational areas using a mixed GPS tracking and graph theory approach
2014
Abstract Recreational trails encourage numerous outdoor leisure activities in a variety of urban, rural, and natural environments. Understanding the way trails function is crucial for the designers and managers of recreational sites to balance the needs of visitors and site capacities. This paper presents a new approach to evaluate the structure and use of hiking trails by combining GPS tracking and analytical methods based on graph theory. The study is based upon empirical data (N = 482 GPS tracks) collected in the Lobau, which is part of the Danube Floodplains National Park in Austria. The physical structure of trails (structural network; undirected graph) and their usage (functional netw…
Nonlinear rotation-invariant pattern recognition by use of the optical morphological correlation.
2000
We introduce a modification of the nonlinear morphological correlation for optical rotation-invariant pattern recognition. The high selectivity of the morphological correlation is conserved compared with standard linear correlation. The operation performs the common morphological correlation by extraction of the information by means of a circular-harmonic component of a reference. In spite of some loss of information good discrimination is obtained, especially for detecting images with a high degree of resemblance. Computer simulations are presented, as well as optical experiments implemented with a joint transform correlator.
Docenza, offerta formativa ed efficacia occupazionale dei titoli di studio nelle discipline politico-sociali
2021
Qual e attualmente la situazione della docenza in ambito politico-sociale (area CUN 14) e con particolare riferimento ai settori sociologici? L’ultimo rapporto sull’Universita italiana pubblicato online dalla rete collaborativa UnRest-Net riporta che nell’anno accademico 2018/2019 l’area di Scienze politiche e sociali (SPS) ha registrato la piu elevata percentuale, fra tutte le aree CUN, di docenza a contratto rispetto alla docenza strutturata (49,39%, pari a 1.629 docenti). Dall’a.a. 2014/20...
Design considerations of high RAP-content asphalt produced at reduced temperatures
2018
In many countries recycling of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) for road surface layers is limited to a maximum of 10–30%. This is due to technical limitation of common asphalt plant but also to specifications that are still restrictive when it comes to increasing RAP in surface courses. The mistrust in this practice is mainly related to uncertainty in performance of these mixes as well as to existing fundamental issues with the mix design, especially when production temperatures are lowered. This paper analyses some of the factors affecting the design of warm asphalt mixtures for surface course layers containing 50% RAP, and suggests a framework to justify the common assumption of full ble…
Determining the Set of Concept Map Based Tasks for Computerized Knowledge Self-Assessment
2012
Demands for educated labor force with well-integrated cognitive structures call for necessity to use in educational institutions appropriate teaching and knowledge assessment methods directed towards fine development and assessment of students’ conceptual understanding. Concept maps as a kind of mental models have great potential in knowledge assessment due to several significant advantages. However, a taxonomy of possible concept mapping tasks has not been developed yet. The paper considers the problem of extending a set of concept mapping tasks in the already developed concept map based knowledge assessment system. The possible types of tasks are investigated from the point of view of the…
Dielectric and mechanical assessment of cellulosic insulation during transformer manufacturing
2021
Due to the impact of cellulose of paper insulation on transformer life, it is imperatire to remove moisture from the oil and the solid insulation. Several techniques have been implemented during manufacturing of power transformers to reduce water content in transformers. These drying processes can involve different costs and time, and they can damage the insulation paper. In this work, a drying process has been implemented in the laboratory trying to simulate the most aggressive conditions that can be suffered by the paper in transformer manufacturing in a real industry. Once the moisture content of papers was lower than 0.5%, the effect of the drying process on paper degradation was evalua…
Hydrated Layer Formation on Tricalcium and Dicalcium Silicate Surfaces: Experimental Study and Numerical Simulations
2001
In this paper, an original approach is used to study the calcium silicate hydrate (C−S−H) layer formation on the surface of grains of anhydrous silicate during tricalcium and dicalcium silicate hydration from the variation of the rate of hydration with lime concentration. The effects of C−S−H nucleation and growth on the curves for the degree of reaction against time have been separated in both experimental study of the rate of hydration in controlled conditions and numerical simulation of the growth of C−S−H on a surface from a particle aggregation model. The influence of the number of nuclei and of the different growth modes has been quantified.
Equilibrium properties of the reaction H2⇌ 2H by classical molecular dynamics simulations
2013
We have developed a classical molecular dynamics model for the hydrogen dissociation reaction, containing two- and three-particle potentials derived by Kohen, Tully and Stillinger. Two fluid densities were investigated for a wide range of temperatures, and 11 fluid densities were considered for one temperature. We report the temperature range where the degree of reaction is significant, and also where a stable molecule dominates the population in the energy landscape. The three-particle potential, which is essential for the reaction model and seldom studied, together with the two-particle interaction lead to a large effective excluded volume diameter of the molecules in the molecular fluid.…
Über den einfluß des substitutionsgrads auf die viskositätszahl (staudinger index) von cellulosenitraten
1962
Es wurden Untersuchungen uber die Abhangigkeit des STAUDINGER-Index vom Stickstoffgehalt in einem [η]-Bereich von 700 bis 4000 (ml·g−1) durchgefuhrt. Dabei wurde gegenuber den bisher in der Literatur vorliegenden Arbeiten eine verbesserte Praparations- und Mestechnik angewandt. Es wurde festgestellt, das der Gang des STAUDINGER-Index mit dem Substitutionsgrad swischen 13,0 und 13,8% geradlinig verlauft und durch folgende Gleichung wiedergegeben werden kann (vgl. Abb. 1): Hierin bezeichnet N den Stickstoffgehalt in %; x ist ein Faktor, der vom Polymerisationsgrad bzw. STAUDINGER-Index bei 13,8% in folgender Weise abhangt (vgl. Abb. 2): Bei Stickstoffgehalten uber 13,8% konnte keine Abhangigk…
