Efectos conductuales y neuroquímicos del consumo de éxtasis y cocaína en ratones adolescentes.
2009
La 3,4-metilendioximetanfetamina (MDMA), una sustancia popularmente conocida como éxtasis, es una droga ilícita consumida habitualmente por adolescentes y adultos jóvenes. Además, el policonsumo es una práctica habitual entre los usuarios de la MDMA, siendo la cocaína una de las drogas más frecuentemente asociadas a esta sustancia. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar los efectos a corto y largo plazo que se producen tras la administración de la MDMA (5, 10, o 20 mg/kg) sola o en combinación con cocaína (25 mg/kg) en ratones adolescentes. En el estudio sobre el efecto agudo, observamos que ambas drogas administradas individual o simultáneamente incrementan la actividad motora. La do…

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF RILL FLOW RESISTANCE AT PLOT SCALE
2021
I processi erosivi costituiscono un rilevante problema ambientale con impatto anche di tipo socioeconomico. Infatti, questi processi determinando l’asportazione degli strati superficiali di suolo, causano la riduzione della fertilità e produttività del suolo, e hanno un considerevole impatto sulla biodiversità. La perdita di suolo dovuta all’erosione idrica è un fenomeno naturale ed inevitabile, che può divenire intollerabile in condizioni particolari che spesso dipendono da fattori antropici (Di Stefano e Ferro, 2016). I processi di erosione idrica sono generalmente caratterizzati dall’erosione interrill o rill. Nelle aree interrill, caratterizzate da correnti overland, il processo erosivo…

A Specialized Architecture for Color Image Edge Detection Based on Clifford Algebra
2013
Edge detection of color images is usually performed by applying the traditional techniques for gray-scale images to the three color channels separately. However, human visual perception does not differentiate colors and processes the image as a whole. Recently, new methods have been proposed that treat RGB color triples as vectors and color images as vector fields. In these approaches, edge detection is obtained extending the classical pattern matching and convolution techniques to vector fields. This paper proposes a hardware implementation of an edge detection method for color images that exploits the definition of geometric product of vectors given in the Clifford algebra framework to ex…
Fast, Reliable Head Tracking Under Varying Illumination
2003
An improved technique for 3D head tracking under varying illumination conditions is proposed. The head is modeled as a texture mapped cylinder. Tracking is formulated as an image registration problem in the cylinder's texture map image. To solve the registration problem in the presence of lighting variation and head motion, the residual error of registration is modeled as a linear combination of texture warping templates and orthogonal illumination templates. Fast and stable on-line tracking is then achieved via regularized weighted least squares minimization of the registration error. The regularization term tends to limit potential ambiguities that arise in the warping and illumination te…
Head Tracking via Robust Registration in Texture Map Images.
1998
A novel method for 3D head tracking in the presence of large head rotations and facial expression changes is described. Tracking is formulated in terms of color image registration in the texture map of a 3D surface model. Model appearance is recursively updated via image mosaicking in the texture map as the head orientation varies. The resulting dynamic texture map provides a stabilized view of the face that can be used as input to many existing 2D techniques for face recognition, facial expressions analysis, lip reading, and eye tracking. Parameters are estimated via a robust minimization procedure; this provides robustness to occlusions, wrinkles, shadows and specular highlights. The syst…

Beerkan Estimation of Soil Transfer parameters (BEST) across soils and scales
2019
Abstract Theories and models used in soil hydrological sciences rely on the knowledge of the spatially and temporally variable soil hydraulic properties, i.e. the water retention and hydraulic conductivity curves. Obtaining reliable experimental information on these curves for an area of interest is not easy and it still remains a challenge for soil scientists. In 2006, a simple and physically based methodology was proposed to completely characterize the soil using a single ring infiltration experiment in the field and determination of soil particle size distribution, initial and final soil water content and dry soil bulk density. This methodology, named BEST – Beerkan Estimation of Soil Tr…
Immobilization of Hexacyanoferrate (III) for a Flow Injection-Spectrophotometric Determination of Promazine
1993
Abstract An automated flow injection method for the determination of promazine is described. The method is based on the oxidation of promazine by hexacyanoferrate (III) and spectrophotometric monitorization of oxidized drug. The chemical and FIA variables were optimized. The calibration graph was linear over the concentration range 2,5–25 ppm of promazine hydrochloride. Some interfering substances were also investigated. The method was applied for the determination of promazine in pharmaceutical formulations.
