Investigating Avatar Influence on Perceived Cognitive Load and Bimanual Interactions with Touchless Interfaces
2017
In recent years, touchless-enabling technologies have been more and more adopted for providing public displays with gestural interactivity. This has led to the need for novel visual interfaces aimed at solving issues such as communicating interactivity to users, as well as supporting immediate usability and "natural" interactions. In this paper, we focus our investigation on a visual interface based only on the use of in-air direct manipulations. Our study aims at evaluating whether and how the presence of an Avatar that replays user’s movements may decrease the perceived cognitive workload during interactions. Moreover, we conducted a brief evaluation of the relationship between the presen…
Retinal image synthesis through the least action principle
2020
Eye fundus image analysis is a fundamental approach in medical diagnosis and follow-up ophthalmic diagnostics. Manual annotation by experts needs hard work, thus only a small set of annotated vessel structures is available. Examples such as DRIVE and STARE include small sets for training images of fundus image benchmarks. Moreover, there is no vessel structure annotation for a number of fundus image datasets. Synthetic images have been generated by using appropriate parameters for the modeling of vascular networks or by methods developing deep learning techniques and supported by performance hardware. Our methodology aims to produce high-resolution synthetic fundus images alternative to the…
Piecewise planar underwater mosaicing
2015
A commonly ignored problem in planar mosaics, yet often present in practice, is the selection of a reference homography reprojection frame where to attach the successive image frames of the mosaic. A bad choice for the reference frame can lead to severe distortions in the mosaic and can degenerate in incorrect configurations after some sequential frame concatenations. This problem is accentuated in uncontrolled underwater acquisition setups as those provided by AUVs or ROVs due to both the noisy trajectory of the acquisition vehicle — with roll and pitch shakes — and to the non-flat nature of the seabed which tends to break the planarity assumption implicit in the mosaic construction. These…
Brevi notazioni sul sistema di valutazione dei dirigenti pubblici
2021
In the regulatory evolution on the evaluation of public management, it is possible to grasp a 'paradigm shift', which, if we applied the considerations of Thomas S. Kuhn, would allow us to say that we are facing an epochal turning point, a revolution in fact . With this we want to underline the change in perspective that characterizes the reform intervention that took place with the d. lgs. 150 of 2009.
METHODOLOGICAL PROPOSAL TO EVALUATE THE HUMAN RIGHTS APPROACH IN PUBLIC POLICIES. A CASE STUDY OF OPEN GOVERNMENT PUBLIC POLICY IN MEXICO AND ITALY
2022
La investigación parte de la premisa de que para una mayor correspondencia de los procesos de política pública con los requerimientos de la sociedad contemporánea, éstos deben desarrollarse en un entorno policontextual y policéntrico. Es decir, en escenarios en los que se propicie su apertura a los diferentes contextos sociales y la intervención de diversos actores. En atención a esto, se optó por efectuar un estudio de tipo analítico-sintético, que involucrara las variables de enfoque de derechos humanos—relacionada con el policontextualismo y policentrismo de una acción— y la de política pública—relativa a la técnica/método conforme a la cual se desarrolla de forma sistemática la acción p…

Approximation through suffixation:-ḍḍu/-a in Sicilian
2023
This article investigates the use of the Sicilian suffix -ḍḍu/-afor the expression of ap-proximation. On the basis of a survey of a corpus of ethnotexts and the outputs of a translation questionnaire, we propose that approximation is a core value in the semantic network of the suffix, expressing a certain distance fromthe default values conveyed by the base. In terms of prototypi-cality, this distance may occur from the categorial centre (internal approximation): the suffix mod-ifies the semantics of the base but does not alter the categorial status of the referent. Alternatively, the suffix may impact on categorial membership tout court (external approximation), questioning the categorial …
Suffissi valutativi in Plauto: una proposta cognitivista e morfo-pragmatica
2020
Latin evaluative suffixes, especially diminutives, have received considerable attention in the relevant literature, but a morphologicalpragmatic analysis of their uses is still lacking. This work aims at analysing the behavior of the archaic Latin suffix -llus within a theoretical framework combining ressler – Merlini Barbaresi’s (1994) morpho-pragmatic model and the cognitive perspective on polysemy and the pragmatic polyfunctionality of evaluative suffixes. As an evaluative suffix,, -llus is used with a proper diminutive function that adds to the base the semantic component 'small'. In many cases, however, -llus plays a function related to the complex system of relations between the speak…
I marginalia di Dino Buzzati: schemi, illustrazioni e disegni
2022
Secondo questa proposta di lettura dell'opera grafica di Dino Buzzati, che può essere estesa anche ad altri autori dal doppio talento, i disegni ai margini della scrittura possono essere interpretati allora nella loro funzione di relazione tra le arti che si risolve in una interazione, una negoziazione, uno slittamento oppure un conflitto, una cancellatura. Inoltre le annotazioni ai margini della scrittura, soprattutto nelle loro versioni grafiche, costituiscono una forma di introspezione autobiografica assai preziosa per ricostruire il profilo del loro autore, se scrittore e disegnatore al contempo.
