Museums for all: translation and interpreting for multimodal spaces as a tool for universal accessibility

2012

Audiovisual Translation (AVT) has a scientific responsibility to develop analytical methodologies for the textual phenomenon of multimodality, and for the translation strategies associated with it. At the same time, it should aim to provide studies of universal accessibility with a powerful tool for facilitating access to knowledge. This article offers some reflections on the theoretical foundations of AVT and considers how these are projected in the creation of new professional profiles, with specific application to universal accessibility in the museums. La Traducción Audiovisual (TAV) tiene la responsabilidad científica de desarrollar metodologías de análisis para el fenómeno textual de …

Ruolo del Nucleo di Valutazione per l´attivazione delle procedure per la predisposizione dello schema di APQ per la logistica ed il trasporto merci i…

2006

Il presente contributo riferisce dell´esperienza del Nucleo della Sicilia —Area Valutazione progetti, in merito alla redazione della relazione tecnica di accompagnamento all´APQ per il Trasporto delle Merci e per la Logistica in Sicilia. Partendo dalle Disposizioni contenute nella delibera CIPE n.20/2004 e dalle indicazioni della nota di indirizzo Rete NUVV dic/2004 in proposito, il gruppo di lavoro ha proceduto alla necessaria acquisizione delle informazioni e dei dati relativi a ciascun singolo intervento previsto in APQ, ricostruendo i processi e le procedure, come pure la sequenza tecnico-procedurale con la quale si sono sviluppate le proposte (analisi del fabbisogno, individuazione deg…

Accurate estimation of retinal vessel width using bagged decision trees and an extended multiresolution Hermite model.

2012

We present an algorithm estimating the width of retinal vessels in fundus camera images. The algorithm uses a novel parametric surface model of the cross-sectional intensities of vessels, and ensembles of bagged decision trees to estimate the local width from the parameters of the best-fit surface. We report comparative tests with REVIEW, currently the public database of reference for retinal width estimation, containing 16 images with 193 annotated vessel segments and 5066 profile points annotated manually by three independent experts. Comparative tests are reported also with our own set of 378 vessel widths selected sparsely in 38 images from the Tayside Scotland diabetic retinopathy scre…

Sample Preparation Improvement in Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Determination in Olive Oils by Gel Permeation Chromatography and Liquid Chromatogr…

2005

Abstract The determination of 15 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in olive oil samples has been improved in order to obtain a fast methodology with a low limit of detection through the combination of liquid–liquid extraction with acetonitrile and preparative gel permeation chromatography (GPC) prior to the injection of purified extracts into a C18 column. Acetonitrile–water was used as the mobile phase with a gradient from 50 to 95%, w/w, acetonitrile in 30 min. The oven temperature was maintained at 15°C, and fluorometric detection was made at a fixed excitation wavelength of 264 nm and variable, optimal emission wavelength for each analyte ranging from 352 nm for 11-H-benzo(b)fluor…

Specific muscle-tendon architecture in elite Kenyan distance runners

2013

The Achilles tendon moment arm (MA_AT) and foot lever ratio (FLR) can play important roles for force production and movement economy during locomotion. This notion has become more relevant, and suggestion has been given that the Kenyan runners belonging to the world elite would have specific anatomical, mechanical, and functional properties in their lower limbs and that this feature could be responsible for their high running economy. The present study aimed to characterize the AT of elite Kenyan distance runners as compared with Japanese ones, and to examine the potential relationship with their running performance. Ultrasonography was used to measure AT cross-sectional area and AT soleus …

The influence of physical activity during youth on structural and functional properties of the Achilles tendon

2013

Achilles tendinopathy is a highly prevalent sports injury. Animal studies show a growth response in tendons in response to loading in the immature phase but not after puberty maturation. The aim of this investigation was to examine the structural and material properties in long distance runners who were either physically active (HAY) or inactive (LAY) in young age. Twelve men in HAY group and eight men in LAY group participated. Structural, functional, and biochemical properties of Achilles tendon were estimated from magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound video recordings, mechanical tests, and tendon biopsies, respectively. There was no difference between the groups with respect to tendon …

El acoso y sus consecuencias: perspectivas legislativas en tutela de los trabajadores

2013

El acoso es una figura generalizada en nuestra sociedad, con consecuencias devastadoras para quien lo padece, siendo que la difusión de estudios científicos acerca del acoso ha permitido que la opinión pública sea más consciente de este tipo de abusos. Una mirada al incremento de casos de acoso ha llevado a la doctrina a hablar de otras figuras similares, igualmente dañinas para la salud física y mental del individuo. Por este motivo, el actual silencio del legislador, observable tanto en Italia como en otros países europeos, debería considerarse como una opción política vinculada a la dificultad de encontrar soluciones creíbles. Al mismo tiempo, la dramática situación de aquellos trabajado…

Acoustic characterization of the ancient theatre at Syracuse

2008

The ancient theatre at Syracuse, the largest open air theatre in Sicily, experienced many structural changes along its history. Today its very renowned drama festival attracts visitors from all the world that fill the entire cavea: customized seats accomodation and a prominent stage play an important role in the theatre acoustics. Because no data were available in literature on its acoustical perfomance a measurement session was carried out by our team in the framework of a wide research project on ancient theatres acoustics in the modern use. From data recorded "room criteria" parameters have been evaluated together with spectral analysis in order to gain a deeper information on the acoust…
