Data from: First records of complete annual cycles in water rails Rallus aquaticus show evidence of itinerant breeding and a complex migration system
2020
In water rails Rallus aquaticus, northern and eastern populations are migratory while southern and western populations are sedentary. Few details are known about the annual cycle of this elusive species. We studied movements and breeding in water rails from southernmost Norway where the species occurs year-round. Colour-ringed wintering birds occurred only occasionally at the study site in summer, and vice versa. Geolocator tracks revealed that wintering birds (n = 10) migrated eastwards in spring to breed on both sides of the Baltic Sea, whereas a single breeding bird from the study site wintered in north Italy. Ambient light records of geolocator birds further indicated that all but one i…
Did the three little pigs frighten the wolf? How deaf readers use lexical and syntactic cues to comprehend sentences
2020
Abstract Background The ways in which students with deafness process syntactic and semantic cues while reading sentences are unclear. While some studies have supported the preference for semantic cues, others have not. Aim To examine differences in the processing of syntactic versus semantic cues during sentence reading among students who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH). Method Twenty DHH students (mean age = 12.48 years) and 20 chronologically age-matched students with typical hearing (TH) were asked to read sentences written in Spanish with different grammatical structures and to choose the picture that best matched the sentences’ meaning while their eye movements were being registered.…
Quantitative studies of bird movement: a methodological review
1999
The past several years have seen the development of a number of statistical models and methods for drawing inferences about bird movement using data from marked individuals. It can be difficult to keep up with this rapid development of new methods, so our purpose here is to categorize and review methods for drawing inferences about avian movement. We also outline recommendations about future work, dealing both with methodological developments and with studies directed at hypotheses about bird movement of interest from conservation, management, or ecological perspectives.
THE SCUOLA OFFICINA MECCANICA IN VILLAGGIO MONTE DEGLI ULIVI IN RIESI. READING AND ANALYSIS THROUGH SURVEYING.
2017
This research analyses in depth the project of one of the most representative work of the Modern Architectural Movement in Sicily – the Scuola Officina Meccanica, located in Villaggio Monte degli Ulivi, in Riesi (CL), designed by the architect Leonardo Ricci between 1962 and 1968. The main objective is to contribute to the conservation of the architectural work through its analysis and study for a careful and conscious restoration. The research methodology aimed to retrace the compositional and geometric principles that defined the design process and its unique configuration.
Orígenes de las movilizaciones #primaveravalenciana : un análisis de los actores sociales más influyentes en Twitter
2018
Los públicos de Twitter se han convertido en un objeto de investigación social claramente consolidado. El objetivo del trabajo es contribuir a esta corriente de investigación con el análisis de las condiciones sociales que favorecieron la expansión de la etiqueta #primaveravalenciana. Para ello, nos centraremos en la etapa inicial de la etiqueta, estableciendo una tipología de participantes, identificando a los actores más influyentes y realizando un análisis de contenido de los micro-mensajes que fomentaron la expansión viral de la etiqueta en los días posteriores. Frente a las teorías que tienden a minimizar las distinciones sociales en las interacciones de las redes sociales, el análisis…
A Review on "Lyricism and Chinese Modern Poetics" by Zhang Songjian
2015
La recensione mette in luce il nodo focale della ricerca dello studioso cinese Zhang Songjian nella sua analisi sul Modernismo nella poesia cinese degli anni '40. Lo studioso innova l'ambito della ricerca introducendo i concetti di "lyricism", "anti-lyricism" e "deep lyricism" che contribuiscono ad aprire nuove prospettive nel dialogo critico Occidente-Oriente sulla poesia cinese. The review underlines the focus of the research of the Chinese scholar Zhang Songjian in his analysis of Chinese poetry Modernism of the 40s. His innovative research is based on the concepts of "lyricism", "anti-lyricism" and "deep-lyricism" that contribute the opening of new perspectives in the Western-Eastern di…

Cardiac motion tracking using a deformable 2D-mesh modeling
2001
International audience; Abstract: The work reported here deals with movement tracking in sequences of medical images in order to quantify the general movements and deformations of the heart For this purpose, we partition the first image into triangular patches in order that each object of the image corresponds to a set of triangles. Then, the nodes of the mesh are tracked across the image sequence giving a mesh which warps with the images. The method is applied to cardiac image sequences where the study of the deformation of the triangles is applied to the determination of the movement of the ventricles
Movement patterns of Tenebrio beetles demonstrate empirically that correlated-random-walks have similitude with a Lévy walk.
2013
AbstractCorrelated random walks are the dominant conceptual framework for modelling and interpreting organism movement patterns. Recent years have witnessed a stream of high profile publications reporting that many organisms perform Lévy walks; movement patterns that seemingly stand apart from the correlated random walk paradigm because they are discrete and scale-free rather than continuous and scale-finite. Our new study of the movement patterns of Tenebriomolitor beetles in unchanging, featureless arenas provides the first empirical support for a remarkable and deep theoretical synthesis that unites correlated random walks and Lévy walks. It demonstrates that the two models are complemen…
Advanced 3D movement analysis algorithms for robust functional capacity assessment.
2017
SummaryObjectives: We developed a novel system for in home functional capacities assessment in frail older adults by analyzing the Timed Up and Go movements. This system aims to follow the older people evolution, potentially allowing a forward detection of motor decompensation in order to trigger the implementation of rehabilitation. However, the pre-experimentations conducted on the ground, in different environments, revealed some problems which were related to KinectTM operation. Hence, the aim of this actual study is to develop methods to resolve these problems.Methods: Using the KinectTM sensor, we analyze the Timed Up and Go test movements by measuring nine spatio-temporal parameters, …
