Oxidation of silicon nanoparticles produced by ns laser ablation in liquids
2014
The investigation of nanoparticles produced by ns pulsed Nd:YAG laser ablation of silicon in liquids is reported. Combined characterization by morphological and structural techniques shows that these nanoparticles have a mean diameter of ~3 nm and a core-shell structure consisting of a Si-nanocrystal surrounded by a layer of oxidized Si. Time resolved luminescence spectra evidence visible and UV emissions: a broad band around 1.9 eV originates from Si-nanocrystals, while two bands centered at 2.7 eV and 4.4 eV are associated with oxygen deficient centers in the SiO2 shell.
HIGH QUALITY TEXTURE MAPPING PROCESS AIMED AT THE OPTIMIZATION OF 3D STRUCTURED LIGHT MODELS
2019
Abstract. This article presents the evaluation of a pipeline to develop a high-quality texture mapping implementation which makes it possible to carry out a semantic high-quality 3D textured model. Due to geometric errors such as camera parameters or limited image resolution or varying environmental parameters, the calculation of a surface texture from 2D images could present several color errors. And, sometimes, it needs adjustments to the RGB or lightness information on a defined part of the texture. The texture mapping procedure is composed of mesh parameterization, mesh partitioning, mesh segmentation unwraps, UV map and projection of island, UV layout optimization, mesh packing and mes…
RPAS AND TLS TECNIQUES FOR ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY: THE CASE STUDY OF THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE OF ERACLEA MINOA (ITALY)
2018
Abstract. Digital documentation and 3D modelling of archaeological sites are important for understanding, definition and recognition of the values of the sites and of the archaeological finds. The most part of archaeological sites are outdoor location, but a cover to preserve the ruins protects often parts of the sites. The possibility to acquire data with different techniques and merge them by using a single reference system allows creating multi-parties models in which 3D representations of the individual objects can be inserted. The paper presents the results of a recent study carried out by Geomatics Laboratory of University of Palermo for the digital documentation and 3D modelling of E…
HIGH-RESOLUTION SURFACE AND BED TOPOGRAPHY MAPPING OF RUSSELL GLACIER (SW GREENLAND) USING UAV AND GPR
2020
Abstract. This study presents the detailed survey of the northern marginal part of Russell Glacier, SW Greenland using the combination of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry and low-frequency ground penetrating radar (GPR) measurements. Obtained digital elevation model (DEM) and ice thickness data from GPR data allowed the generation of high precision subglacial topography model. We report uncertainties arising from GPR, GPS, and DEM suggesting sufficient accuracy for the reconstruction of glacier bed topography. GPR data and generated subglacial topography model does not reveal any possible Nye channel that could be incised into the bedrock, however, we were able to detect englaci…
TERRESTRIAL LASER SCANNING FOR COASTAL GEOMORPHOLOGIC RESEARCH IN WESTERN GREECE
2012
We used terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) for (i) accurate volume estimations of dislocated boulders moved by high-energy impacts and for (ii) monitoring of annual coastal changes. In this contribution, we present three selected sites in Western Greece that were surveyed during a time span of four years (2008-2011). The Riegl LMS-Z420i laser scanner was used in combination with a precise DGPS system (Topcon HiPer Pro). Each scan position and a further target were recorded for georeferencing and merging of the point clouds. For the annual detection of changes, reference points for the base station of the DGPS system were marked. Our studies show that TLS is capable to accurately estimate volu…
Spectral imaging from UAVs under varying illumination conditions
2013
Abstract. Rapidly developing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have provided the remote sensing community with a new rapidly deployable tool for small area monitoring. The progress of small payload UAVs has introduced greater demand for light weight aerial payloads. For applications requiring aerial images, a simple consumer camera provides acceptable data. For applications requiring more detailed spectral information about the surface, a new Fabry-Perot interferometer based spectral imaging technology has been developed. This new technology produces tens of successive images of the scene at different wavelength bands in very short time. These images can be assembled in spectral data cubes wit…
A classical phenotype of Anderson-Fabry disease in a female patient with intronic mutations of the GLA gene: a case report
2012
Abstract Background Fabry disease (FD) is a hereditary metabolic disorder caused by the partial or total inactivation of a lysosomal hydrolase, the enzyme α-galactosidase A (GLA). This inactivation is responsible for the storage of undegraded glycosphingolipids in the lysosomes with subsequent cellular and microvascular dysfunction. The incidence of disease is estimated at 1:40,000 in the general population, although neonatal screening initiatives have found an unexpectedly high prevalence of genetic alterations, up to 1:3,100, in newborns in Italy, and have identified a surprisingly high frequency of newborn males with genetic alterations (about 1:1,500) in Taiwan. Case presentation We des…
Fundamentos de diseño de un entorno tecnológico para el estudio de las habilidades en resolución de problemas en primeras edades escolares
2019
En este trabajo se presentan los fundamentos de diseno de un software capaz de monitorizar y registrar datos referentes a la gestion de procesos de resolucion de problemas matematicos. El software permite una recogida sistematica de las variables del proceso de resolucion a partir de las cuales es posible obtener diferentes metricas de aprendizaje del estudiante. Al no centrar la atencion exclusivamente en el resultado final del proceso de resolucion, es posible identificar tendencias cognitivas de los estudiantes. En este manuscrito describimos las caracteristicas de este entorno tecnologico junto con la base didactica que justifica el interes de la investigacion en niveles escolares en …
Un esquema de codificación para el análisis de las resoluciones de los problemas de probabilidad condicional
2016
En este trabajo proponemos un esquema de variables para el análisis de las resoluciones de los problemas de probabilidad condicional. Se consideran tres variables principales: las variables del enfoque, del proceso y del producto o resultado, las cuales describen aquello que el resolutor hace desde que lee el enunciado del problema hasta que produce un resultado. Estas tres variables principales pueden ser explicadas por medio de no menos de 15 variables secundarias, la mayoría de ellas dicotómicas.
Influence of quantities representation in solving word problems in the worksheet environment
2012
Hemos llevado a cabo una experimentación en la que pretendíamos observar las consecuencias de enseñar a resolver problemas de manera algebraica en el entorno de la hoja de cálculo a un grupo de estudiantes de primer curso de secundaria que no habían sido introducidos previamente en el mundo del álgebra. En este artículo ofreceremos ejemplos de fenómenos de anclaje en las formas de resolver propias de la aritmética por parte de algunos alumnos cuando resolvían en la hoja de cálculo. Mostraremos cómo estas resoluciones aritméticas se veían influidas por la enseñanza y el entorno dando lugar a: (1) la imposibilidad de introducir una fórmula en una celda que no hubiera sido etiquetada previamen…
