TISSBERT: A benchmark for the validation and comparison of NDVI time series reconstruction methods
2018
[EN] This paper introduces the Time Series Simulation for Benchmarking of Reconstruction Techniques (TISSBERT) dataset, intended to provide a benchmark for the validation and comparison of time series reconstruction methods. Such methods are routinely used to estimate vegetation characteristics from optical remotely sensed data, where the presence of clouds decreases the usefulness of the data. As for their validation, these methods have been compared with previously published ones, although with different approaches, which sometimes lead to contradictory results. We designed the TISSBERT dataset to be generic so that it could simulate realistic reference and cloud-contaminated time series …

How representative are referendums? Evidence from 20 years of Swiss referendums
2017
Direct democracy allows citizens to reverse decisions made by legislatures and even initiate new laws which parliaments are unwilling to pass, thereby, as its proponents argue, leading to more representative policies than would have obtained under a purely representative democracy. Yet, turnout in referendums is usually lower than in parliamentary elections and tends to be skewed towards citizens of high socio-economic status. Consequently, critics of direct democracy argue that referendum outcomes may not be representative of the preferences of the population at large. We test this assertion using a compilation of post-referendum surveys encompassing 148 national referendums held in Switze…
Prioritization of Alternatives with AHP Plus Response Latency and Web Surveys
2013
Purpose: Overcome some drawbacks of the widely applied Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) related to the use of a rating scale for respondent’s judgments and propose a new method to prioritize alternatives based on web surveys. Methodology/Approach: We use the response latency, i.e. the time taken to make a decision, to replace the rating scale in the pairwise comparisons which is a fundamental part of the AHP procedure. A method combining the AHP with a mathematical model for the response latency is proposed in the paper. Findings: Eliminating the rating scale and leaving only the “take the best” task alleviates the respondent and makes the survey much faster and intuitive. Moreover the re…
La ricerca numismatica nella Sicilia Occidentale (2014-2018). Indirizzi di ricerca e prospettive per il futuro
2019
L'articolo passa in rassegna gli studi a carattere numismatico che hanno riguardato la Sicilia occidentale dal 2014 al 2018, distinguendo tra opere a carattere generale, cataloghi, studi di antiquaria e articoli specialistici, con lo scopo di fare il punto sulle tematiche privilegiate dagli studi recenti e sulle prospettive per il futuro.
La prise en compte de la stratégie agricole améliore la compréhension de l’effet des pratiques sur les communautés adventices
2019
National audience; Les agriculteurs présents dans une même situation de production peuvent différer dans leurs objectifs et donc leurs pratiques. Afin de tester l’effet d’une pratique particulière (ex. désherbage chimique) sur la communauté adventice, il est donc nécessaire de tenir compte de l’ensemble des autres pratiques, formant une stratégie agricole. Nous avons ainsi développé 14 indicateurs décrivant les pratiques agricoles enquêtées sur la zone de Fénay de 2004 à 2016 auprès des 23 agriculteurs de la zone. L’originalité des indicateurs est qu’ils situent chaque parcelle par rapport aux autres parcelles ayant mis en oeuvre la même culture la même année sur la zone. Ceci nous a permis…
Il Teatro Nord e le mura proto-bizantine di Hierapolis di Frigia. Dall'indagine topografica alla ricostruzione 2D e 3D
2012
Il Teatro Nord e la cinta muraria proto-bizantina di Hierapolis di Frigia (Pamukkale, Denizli, Turchia sud-occidentale) sono stati a lungo trascurati dalle attività di ricerca della Missione Archeologica Italiana, concentrata su monumenti meglio conservati e con un apparato architettonico e scultoreo più rilevante. Solo dal 2008 essi sono stati oggetto di indagini sistematiche da parte dei ricercatori del Laboratorio di Topografia Antica, Archeologia e Telerilevamento dell'Istituto per i Beni Archeologici e Monumentali del CNR (Lecce). Lo studio di dettaglio dei resti conservati, realizzato integrando rilievo topografico, prospezioni geofisiche ed indagini geologiche, ha permesso di definir…
