In situ and lidar observations of tropopause subvisible cirrus clouds during TC4
2010
[1] During the Tropical Composition, Clouds, and Climate Coupling (TC4) experiment in July–August 2007, the NASA WB-57F and ER-2 aircraft made coordinated flights through a tropopause subvisible cirrus (SVC) layer off the Pacific Coast of Central America. The ER-2 aircraft was equipped with a remote sensing payload that included the cloud physics lidar (CPL). The WB-57F payload included cloud microphysical and trace gas measurements, and the aircraft made four vertical profiles through the SVC layer shortly after the ER-2 flew over. The in situ and remotely sensed data are used to quantify the meteorological and microphysical properties of the SVC layer, and these data are compared to the l…
Desarrolo, cultura e identidad en América Latina
2008
The author understands culture as more than a result of economic development; he argues that development, itself, is both a fact and a cultural product, based on his wide range concept of culture. According to the text, approaches willing to reduce definitions of development to its economic, social, or any other restrict aspect, only misunderstand the real concept and engender serious mistakes on Government’s action. Moreover, the text states that far from population explosion and absence of resources, problems of social injustice, poverty, social exclusion, disrespect of human rights and aggressions on the environment are basically consequences of the absence of universal ethical values, w…
The impact of the coronavirus crisis on European societies. What have we learnt and where do we go from here? – Introduction to the COVID volume
2021
The coronavirus pandemic, which first impacted European societies in early 2020, has created a twofold crisis by combining a health threat with economic turmoil. While the crisis has affected all European societies very significantly, its impact varies across countries, social groups, and societal domains. In an effort to provide a first overview of the effect of the coronavirus crisis, in this editorial we discuss contributions of 58 papers published as part of this special issue. These early research papers illustrate the varied impact of the pandemic on various areas of social life. The first group of studies in this special issue analyzes the effect of the pandemic on social inequalitie…
Il lascito del proprio corpo a fini didattici e di ricerca. Il nobile (ma vano) intento della legge 10/2020
2021
The essay gives a sharp outline of the recent Italian law ruling body donation to science after death, as a personal choice exclusively founds on a conscious and free act of will. The statute, however, has not been met its aim, lacking of supporting the donor in making his consent fully effective. Indeed, as one of the highest displays of human solidarity, this issue would have required a balance between scientific research interests and individual autonomy protection.
Beyond Social and Family Generations
2019
Here the theoretical foundations on which the arguments in the book are built are developed. The chapter begins by introducing the concept of generation as both a cohort-based and a family-based construction. A discussion then follows of how various forms of intergenerational solidarity and conflict shape the relationships between family generations. Particular attention is paid to the need for an approach that goes beyond any strict generational division and is more sensitive to the ways in which individual lives are interconnected through the use of digital technologies. To assist in this task, a post-Mannheimian approach to generational identity is outlined.
Solidarity as a weapon : the International Red Aid, an organization of defense in face of repression of the communist movement (1918-1934)
2022
In the aftermath of the First World War, a major anticommunist and repressive wave swept across the European continent, following the smashing of attempts to export the Bolshevik revolutionary breath from Russia. In this context, the Communist International founded, at its 4th Congress in 1922, the International Red Aid (IRA), a auxiliary organization specifically charged with helping revolutionary militants who were victims of repression. Its French section, which was created the following year, organized material, moral and legal support for the accused and prisoners, while at the same time carrying out the political struggle for amnesty. IRA is also one of the main actors of the practica…

Ēku 3D modeļu rekonstrukcija, izmantojot plakņu marķēšanas algoritmus un tālizpētes datus
2022
Pilsētvides problēmu risināšanā noderīgi ir ēku 3D (trīs dimensiju) modeļi, kas var tikt pielietoti pilsētas infrastruktūras plānošanā, scenāriju modelēšanā u.c. specifisku problēmu risināšanā. Darbs ir turpinājums autora bakalaura darbam, kurā tika piedāvāta metode ēku 3D modeļu izveidei. Tās galvenais trūkums ir nepieciešamība pēc lietotāja iejaukšanās, padarot metodi nepiemērotu plašai pilsētas 3D modelēšanai. Darba mērķis ir uzlabot jumta plakņu noteikšanas procesu, izmantojot mašīnmācīšanās metodes, un izstrādāt plašāk lietojamu ēku 3D modeļu ģenerēšanas algoritmu, kas būtu piemērots dažādām jumtu arhitektūrām. Darba rezultātā tiek apmācīts Mask R-CNN konvolūciju neironu tīkls jumta pl…
