Emulation of Sun-Induced Fluorescence from Radiance Data Recorded by the HyPlant Airborne Imaging Spectrometer
2021
The retrieval of sun-induced fluorescence (SIF) from hyperspectral radiance data grew to maturity with research activities around the FLuorescence EXplorer satellite mission FLEX, yet full-spectrum estimation methods such as the spectral fitting method (SFM) are computationally expensive. To bypass this computational load, this work aims to approximate the SFM-based SIF retrieval by means of statistical learning, i.e., emulation. While emulators emerged as fast surrogate models of simulators, the accuracy-speedup trade-offs are still to be analyzed when the emulation concept is applied to experimental data. We evaluated the possibility of approximating the SFM-like SIF output directly based…
Los túmulos funerarios en las altas jerarquías sociales. La reproducción del modelo regio lejos de la Corte
2014
ABSTRACT: The society of the ancient regime recreated the distinctive, justifying, and propagandistic rites of power that were performed at court in cities far away from it. These rites were led by the holders of civil and religious power, and even utilized formulas that would not have been permitted, because they copied the royal ones. The rituals surrounding death form part of these practices, with first-class artistic derivations, including ephemeral architecture, emblematics and chalcography, or intaglio. My study focuses on the catafalque of a priest and another of a nobleman in Seville in the mid-eighteenth century. KEYWORDS: Funereal Emblematics, Colegio de San Basilio Magno, Eugenio…
Image inpainting using directional wavelet packets originating from polynomial splines
2020
The paper presents a new algorithm for the image inpainting problem. The algorithm is using a recently designed versatile library of quasi-analytic complex-valued wavelet packets (qWPs) which originate from polynomial splines of arbitrary orders. Tensor products of 1D qWPs provide a diversity of 2D qWPs oriented in multiple directions. For example, a set of the fourth-level qWPs comprises 62 different directions. The properties of the presented qWPs such as refined frequency resolution, directionality of waveforms with unlimited number of orientations, (anti-)symmetry of waveforms and windowed oscillating structure of waveforms with a variety of frequencies, make them efficient in image pro…
Voimaharjoittelun vaikutukset keskimmäisen ja suoran reisilihaksen väliseen dynamiikkaan polven koukistus-ojennusliikkeessä
2014
Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan nopeuskoodatun magneettikuvauksen avulla voimaharjoittelun vaikutuksia nelipäisen reisilihaksen mekaniikkaan. Tutkimukseen osallistui 14 koehenkilöä, joista seitsemän voimaharjoitteli 20 viikon ajan. Yhden toiston maksimitulos jalkakyykyssä parani koeryhmällä (33,1 ± 12,1) % ja vertailuryhmällä (6,6 ± 5,1) %. Molemmat tulokset olivat tilastollisesti merkitseviä (koeryhmä 𝑝 < 0.001, vertailuryhmä 𝑝 < 0.05). Ryhmän ja ajan yhteisvaikutus oli merkitsevä (𝑝 < 0.001). Voimaharjoittelujaksoa ennen ja sen jälkeen koehenkilöt tekivät pienellä kuormalla toistuvaa polven ojennus-koukistusliikettä magneettikuvauslaitteessa. Suoran reisilihaksen ja keskimmäisen reis…

Charge Transport Mechanisms in Heavy-Ion Driven Leakage Current in Silicon Carbide Schottky Power Diodes
2016
Under heavy-ion exposure at sufficiently high reverse bias voltages silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky diodes are observed to exhibit gradual increases in leakage current with increasing ion fluence. Heavy-ion exposure alters the overall reverse current-voltage characteristics of these diodes, leaving the forward characteristics practically unchanged. This paper discusses the charge transport mechanisms in the heavy-ion damaged SiC Schottky diodes. A macro model, describing the reverse current-voltage characteristics in the degraded SiC Schottky diodes is proposed. peerReviewed
Effect of the Si doping on the properties of AZO/SiC/Si heterojunctions grown by low temperature pulsed laser deposition
2020
Abstract The structural and photoelectrical properties of Al-doped ZnO (AZO)/SiC/p-Si and AZO/SiC/n-Si heterojunctions, fabricated at low temperature by pulsed laser deposition, were investigated by means of a number of techniques. Raman analysis indicates that SiC layers have the cubic 3C-SiC phase, whilst X-ray diffraction measurements show that AZO films exhibit a hexagonal wurtzite structure, highly textured along the c-axis, with average crystallites size of 35.1 nm and lattice parameter c of 0.518 nm. The homogeneous and dense surface morphology observed by scanning electron microscopy was confirmed by atomic force microscopy images. Moreover, UV–Vis-NIR spectra indicated a high trans…
Localized surface plasmon resonance in silver nanoparticles: Atomistic first-principles time-dependent density-functional theory calculations
2015
We observe using ab initio methods that localized surface plasmon resonances in icosahedral silver nanoparticles enter the asymptotic region already between diameters of 1 and 2 nm, converging close to the classical quasistatic limit around 3.4 eV. We base the observation on time-dependent density-functional theory simulations of the icosahedral silver clusters Ag$_{55}$ (1.06 nm), Ag$_{147}$ (1.60 nm), Ag$_{309}$ (2.14 nm), and Ag$_{561}$ (2.68 nm). The simulation method combines the adiabatic GLLB-SC exchange-correlation functional with real time propagation in an atomic orbital basis set using the projector-augmented wave method. The method has been implemented for the electron structure…
Verità e menzogna dei simboli
2008
Cosa sono e come funzionano i simboli? Quali sono i meccanismi di trasmissione dell’immaginario, i suoi spazi e la sua rilevanza sociale? Quali il ruolo e il perimetro del sacro, del mito, del rito, della magia e della religione in certi ambiti, erroneamente percepiti come marginali, della società contemporanea? Quali le strategie di trasmissione della memoria culturale e i processi di produzione e riproduzione dell’identità comunitaria? I saggi riuniti in questo volume cercano di fornire alcune risposte a questi interrogativi confrontandosi con la pervasiva, sebbene non di rado occulta, dialettica culturale tra immanenza e trascendenza e indagando sulle dinamiche psicologiche e sociali del…
