Virtuaalitodellisuuden uusi nousu : Oculus Rift -sovelluskehityksen työkalut
2015
Virtuaalitodellisuudesta ennustetaan seuraavaa suurta ilmiötä ICT-alalla. Monet suuret teknologia-alan yritykset ovat tuomassa virtuaalitodellisuuden mahdollistavia tuotteita markkinoille lähivuosien aikana. Tämä tutkielma tarkastelee tätä ilmiötä ja kartoittaa, mitä pelimoottoreita sovelluskehittäjilllä on käytettävissään Oculus Rift -virtuaalilaseilla toimivien sovellusten kehittämiseen. Valinnanvaraa löytyy jo nyt, ja on odotettavissa, että tulevaisuudessa yhä useampi pelimoottori tukee Oculus Riftiä. Virtual reality is expected to be the next big thing in the ICT sector. A great number of major technology companies have started to develop new head-mounted displays in recent years. This …
Interneta literārā pasaule. Pirmais solis jaunajiem rakstniekiem vai modernās literatūras sērga
2015
Šis maģistra darbs ir par fanu rakstītu literatūru, kura ir kaut kādā ziņā saistīta ar kādu publicētu darbu. Šo literāro veidu sauc par “fanfiction” , tā ir ļoti izplatīta internetā. Šī darba mērķis ir izprast, kā šis literārais veids ir radies, kāda kultūra un vēsture aiz tā slēpjas un kāda ir tā ietekme uz sabiedrību, moderno literatūru un cilvēkiem kas to raksta. Šī darba galvenais jautājums ir uzzināt vai šis literārais veids (fanfiction), kas ir savā ziņā balstīts uz ideju kopēšanu, iznīcina cilvēku radošo domāšanu. Lai atbildētu uz šiem jautājuiem tika izmantoti daži, šī literārā veida darbi, no interneta vietnes www.fanfiction.net un kuri ir balstīti un J.R.R. Tolkien darbu Gredzenu …
Commentaries on our new ways of perceiving disasters
2010
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to help readers gain more understanding of the new phenomena of terror, risk, and threat perception.Design/methodology/approachVarious authors are reviewed: Castel, Beck, Baral, Kellner, Sabada, Korstanje, and in particular, Baudrillard.FindingsSeveral matches are found among the reviewed authors which comprise, for example: late modernity (from 1970 to date) witnesses an increase of fears, panic, and risk assessments in social imaginary; these concerns are part of a process that opens the future to the contingency. That way, the decision‐making process in human beings sheds light on certain aspects of life such as health, body‐care planning but this has …

Resolution of the ATLAS muon spectrometer monitored drift tubes in LHC Run 2
2019
The momentum measurement capability of the ATLAS muon spectrometer relies fundamentally on the intrinsic single-hit spatial resolution of the monitored drift tube precision tracking chambers. Optimal resolution is achieved with a dedicated calibration program that addresses the specific operating conditions of the 354 000 high-pressure drift tubes in the spectrometer. The calibrations consist of a set of timing offsets and drift time to drift distance transfer relations, and result in chamber resolution functions. This paper describes novel algorithms to obtain precision calibrations from data collected by ATLAS in LHC Run 2 and from a gas monitoring chamber, deployed in a dedicated gas fac…
The LOFT mission concept: a status update
2016
The Large Observatory For x-ray Timing (LOFT) is a mission concept which was proposed to ESA as M3 and M4 candidate in the framework of the Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 program. Thanks to the unprecedented combination of effective area and spectral resolution of its main instrument and the uniquely large field of view of its wide field monitor, LOFT will be able to study the behaviour of matter in extreme conditions such as the strong gravitational field in the innermost regions close to black holes and neutron stars and the supra-nuclear densities in the interiors of neutron stars. The science payload is based on a Large Area Detector (LAD, >8m2 effective area, 2-30 keV, 240 eV spectral resolut…
Vitesse et cyclicité de fonctionnement des failles normales de rift : implication sur le remplissage stratigraphique des bassins et sur les modalités…
2002
Les objectifs de ce travail sont les suivants. 1- Reconstitution de la géométrie syn-rift du demi-graben de Bourg-d 'Oisans 2- Quantification des vitesses de fon ctionnement des failles normales syn-rift 3- Relation entre vitesse de fonctionnement et processus de croissance des failles normales dans la croûte continentale 4- Reconstitution de la géométrie profonde des failles normales 5- Caractérisation des facteurs de contrôle de l'étirement crustal en contexte de rift 6- Variabilité spatiale et temporelle de l'étirement sur une paléomarge. Secteur d'étude Pour répondre aux différentes problématiques évoquées ci-dessus, le choix du secteur d'étude s'est porté sur le bassin de Bourg-d'Oisan…
Une nouvelle inscription romaine provenant du castrum de Divio (Dijon)
2017
Connu par des sources littéraires antiques tardives, le castrum de Dijon a laissé quelques traces dans l’urbanisme contemporain. Les cartes anciennes, l’étude des carnets de Louis-Bénigne Baudot, ainsi qu’un réexamen de visu des restes conservés permettent aujourd’hui de renforcer notre connaissance de l’enceinte tardive. L’enquête de terrain a ainsi permis de retrouver une inscription funéraire, inédite, gravée sur un « pyramidion », forme typique des monuments lingons. Known by literary sources from the Late Roman period, the Castrum of Dijon has marked today's urbanism. Old maps, the study of Louis-Bénigne Baudot's notebooks and the reassessment of the preserved ruins have improved our k…
LOFT: the Large Observatory For X-ray Timing
2012
The LOFT mission concept is one of four candidates selected by ESA for the M3 launch opportunity as Medium Size missions of the Cosmic Vision programme. The launch window is currently planned for between 2022 and 2024. LOFT is designed to exploit the diagnostics of rapid X-ray flux and spectral variability that directly probe the motion of matter down to distances very close to black holes and neutron stars, as well as the physical state of ultra-dense matter. These primary science goals will be addressed by a payload composed of a Large Area Detector (LAD) and a Wide Field Monitor (WFM). The LAD is a collimated (<1 degree field of view) experiment operating in the energy range 2-50 keV,…
