Sensor Fusion Combining 3-D and 2-D for Depth Data Enhancement
2012
Time-of-Flight (ToF) cameras are known to be cost-efficient 3-D sensing systems capable of providing full scene depth information at a high frame rate. Among many other advantages, ToF cameras are able to provide distance information regardless of the illumination conditions and with no texture dependency, which makes them very suitable for computer vision and robotic applications where reliable distance measurements are required. However, the resolution of the given depth maps is far below the resolution given by standard 2-D video cameras which, indeed, restricts the use of ToF cameras in real applications such as those for safety and surveillance. In this thesis, we therefore investigate…
Wearing glasses to hear differently? Aftereffects of visuomanual prismatic adaptation on auditory perception
2022
Sensorimotor plasticity is defined as the ability to produce an appropriate motor response face to environmental or bodily changes. The classical experimental paradigm to study sensorimotor plasticity is prism adaptation, which consists of pointing to visual targets while wearing prisms that shift the visual field laterally or vertically. Its aftereffects are not restricted to sensorimotor behavior but extend to sensorial modalities not directly involved during prism exposition, such as audition. There exists a mental representation of auditory frequencies in which low auditory frequencies are associated with the left part of space and high auditory frequencies with the right part of space.…
Unobserved tourism
2015
Having more reliable statistics is essential for policy-makers to be able to make effective decisions. Nevertheless, measuring the number of tourists in a given destination is not an easy task. After reviewing the main problems affecting official statistics on tourism, this paper proposes a general framework by formalizing a theoretical model in which tourism nights and trips in a given destination are broken down into observed and unobserved components, according to the European system of tourism statistics. The main approaches related to the measurement of unobserved tourism are discussed, and some empirical findings in Sicily (Italy) are presented in order to highlight the actual magnitu…
Multimodal Perspective into Teachers’ Definitional Practices: Comparing Subject-Specific Language in Physics and History Lessons
2021
This chapter compares two teachers’ definitional practices in two Content-and-Language-Integrated-Learning (CLIL) lessons, i.e. physics and history, which are taught in English in Finland. It adopts Dalton-Puffer’s (Eur J Appl Linguistics 1(2):216–253, 2013; Cognitive discourse functions: specifying an integrative interdisciplinary construct. In: Nikula T, Dafouz E, Moore P, Smit U (eds) Conceptualising integration in CLIL and multilingual education. Bristol: Multilingual Matters, pp. 29–54, 2016) theoretical construct of cognitive discourse functions (CDF) and showcases how it can be operationalized with empirical grounding. Multimodal conversation analysis (CA) is used to trace and observ…
El traje popular en el siglo XVII
2009
El objetivo de este artículo es estudiar las formas de vertido de los hombres y mujeres que formaban parte del estamento popular o tercer estado de la sociedad del Antiguo Régimen y que habitaron el antiguo Reino de Aragón durante el siglo XVII. Para llevar a cabo este trabajo he tomado ejemplos extraídos del Archivo Histórico de Protocolos Notariales de la ciudad de Alcañiz. Población que por sus características puede ser tomada como ejemplo y reflejo de cualquier ciudad aragonesa del siglo XVII. (A)
Projective unification in transitive modal logics
2018
We show that a transitive normal modal logic L enjoys projective unification (i.e. each unifiable formula is projective) if and only if L contains K4D1 ( D1 : ( x → y ) ∨ ( y → x ) ). It means, in particular, that K4D1 (and any of its extensions) is almost structurally complete, i.e. the logic is complete with respect to all non-passive admissible rules. We also characterize non-unifiable formulas and provide an explicit form of the basis for all passive rules over K4G + ( x → x )
Infrastructure as Interface: Thinking the Urban and the High-speed Railway Station: Italian Case-studies
2013
The recent launching in Italy of a number of large scale urban operations centered around High Speed Railway (HSR) stations has added a wealth of examples and themes to the overall European picture; these go to make up a global point of reference for other countries that are, in this period, undertaking the construction of their own HSR networks. Above and beyond the territorial questions often linked to the issue, further research investigating the architectural aspect of these operations would be highly relevant, but is rather lacking. Instead, we shall be focusing on current HSR stations in Italy, such as Turin Porta Susa, Florence Belfiore and Rome Tiburtina, and comparing them briefly,…
Il trasporto delle merci in Sicilia nel quadro dell’intermodalità strada-rotaia
2008
Nell’articolo vengono messi in evidenza lo stato attuale del trasporto delle merci in Sicilia e gli interventi previsti per il miglioramento della rete ferroviaria siciliana, con il relativo scenario ottenibile, al fine di rendere competitivo il trasporto ferroviario nei riguardi del “tutto strada”. L’attenzione viene focalizzata sulla politica del trasporto merci, sui servizi di trasporto offerti, sugli impianti, sulle infrastrutture di trasporto, sulla rete ferroviaria siciliana, sulle prestazioni delle linee ferroviarie ed infine sulle criticità infrastrutturali del sistema ferroviario ed interportuale siciliano.
Hydrogels in maxillofacial prosthesis
2017
Background: There is a growing need for prosthetic replacements in humans due to various reasons. Oro-facial deformities contribute more for these treatment modalities due to impairment in both function and esthetics. Biomaterials play an important role in replacing any form of defects. Selection of a good biomaterial is of prime importance as these materials determine the success of the treatment outcome. Acrylic resins and silicones are the most popular materials for replacing the lost tissues as far as the maxillofacial prosthesis is concerned. But these materials only help in covering the defect and give a very little therapeutic effect. Acrylic resins are very rigid materials and are l…
Grupas „Pērkons” reprezentācija drukātajos medijos latviešu valodā (1986 - 2015)
2015
Bakalaura darba „Grupas „Pērkons” reprezentācija drukātajos medijos latviešu valodā (1986-2015)” mērķis ir izpētīt grupas „Pērkons” reprezentāciju pēdējo 29 gadu laikā, izpētot grupas reprezentāciju līdz un pēc Latvijas neatkarības atgūšanas 1990. gadā. Teorētiskā bāze veidota, balstoties reprezentācijas un sociālās atmiņas teorijās, kā arī tiek izpētīta Trešās Atmodas laika vēsture, subkultūru un fanu kultūru teorētiskās definīcijas. Izmantojot kvantitatīvās kontentanalīzes pētniecības metodi, iegūta 191 publikācija no 39 dažādiem drukātajiem medijiem, kas pēc tam analizēti, izmantojot kvantitatīvo kontentanalīzi. Secinājumu daļā atspoguļota grupas „Pērkons” reprezentācija pēdējo 29 gadu l…
