Schematic eye models to mimic the behavior of the accommodating human eye
2018
A simplified version of the human eye is known as schematic eye model. Since the first attempts in the middle of the 19th century, numerous approaches describing new schematic eye models have been introduced. Some of them are able to describe the accommodation ability of the human eye. Accommodative schematic eyes could be of great interest since they are able to explain the functionality of the human eye and they can be easily used for different research purposes. Some of these include the design and testing of multifocal ophthalmic solutions, evaluation of the effect of optical aberrations on the retinal image quality, and study of the optical performance of the eye at different distances…
“Waiting for the Bass to Drop”: Correlations Between Intense Emotional Experiences and Production Techniques in Build-up and Drop Sections of Electro…
2014
This study investigates the correlations between theories of intense emotional experiences and production techniques used in the electronic dance music (EDM) sections “build-up” and “drop”, which are designed to build tension and create a heightened emotional intensity among clubbers. This is done by descriptive and interpretive music analysis, where spectrograms and a schematic model visually represent the dominant production techniques. Through a theoretical framework consisting of musical expectancy and gravity, the analysis suggests that i) extensive use of uplifters, ii) the “drum roll effect”, iii) large frequency changes, iv) removal and reintroduction of bass and bass drum and v) a …
Apparenti disegni eretici
2022
Il vocabolario Zingarelli, tra i significati del termine ‘eresia’, riporta: “nelle religioni fondate su una dogma- tica universalmente o ufficialmente riconosciuta, dottrina basata su interpretazioni personali in contra- sto con la tradizione” oppure “opinione erronea o contrastante con quelle più comunemente seguite” e, in ultimo “discordia”. È eretico quindi colui che ha scelto, chi sostiene principi contrari ad una ideolo- gia. Uno degli aspetti dell’architettura, quello probabilmente più confortante, è il disegno inteso nel dop- pio significato di intenzione e di rappresentazione di qualcosa di reale o immaginato; gli schizzi, nei loro tratti essenziali, comunicano un pensiero, un’i…
A modelling framework for social media monitoring
2013
This paper describes a hierarchical, three-level modelling framework for monitoring social media. Immediate social reality is modelled through the first level of the models. They represent various virtual communities at social media sites and adhere to the social world models of the sites, i.e., the "site ontologies". The second-level model is a temporal multirelational graph that captures the static and dynamic properties of the first-level models from the perspective of the monitoring site. The third-level model consists of a temporal relational database scheme that models the temporal multirelational graph within the database. The models are specified and instantiated at the monitoring s…
