2D platformu spēļu dizains
2018
Neskatoties uz neierobežotajām video spēļu izveides iespējām, aizvien vēl spēļu pasaulē ir pieprasītas 2D spēles, kas variē no vienkārša abstrakta līdz smalki izstrādātam multfilmu grafiskajam stilam. Diplomdarba „2D platformu spēļu dizains” mērķis - izveidot jaunu 2D platformu spēles konceptu ar oriģināliem spēles tēliem un stāstu. Pētāmā problēma – nepietiekama informācija par 2D platformu spēļu daudzveidību un grafiskā dizaina iezīmēm. Darba teorētiskajā daļā tiek pētīta literatūra un avoti par videospēļu dizaina attīstību un raksturīgākajiem elementiem. Empīriskajā daļā, izmantojot kontentanalīzi, tiek pētīts spēļu grafiskais stils saistībā ar spēles novērtējumu lielākajā interneta vide…
Digital Picklock for Video Art Exgesis: Reflections, Conditions and Possible Employment of Distant Viewing to Moving Image Datasets in Visual Arts Sc…
2021
With the advent of digital humanities new expectations and challenges are emerging for institutions harbouring video artworks, specifically in offering access and analytical tools to their archival collections. The paper argues for the possible employment of distant viewing to allow visual arts scholars an unprecedented take on video art, holding together both quantitative comparison and aesthetic considerations. In doing so, the paper addresses the peculiar conditions of video art that need proper consideration for a fruitful employment of distant viewing. Set on the background of the existing platforms for video-art consumption ���such as UBU Network, JSC Media Centre, and Daata Streaming…
Gluing the ‘unwettable’: soil-dwelling harvestmen use viscoelastic fluids for capturing springtails
2014
Gluing can be a highly efficient mechanism of prey capture, as it should require less complex sensory–muscular feedback. Whereas it is well known in insects, this mechanism is much less studied in arachnids, except spiders. Soil-dwelling harvestmen (Opiliones, Nemastomatidae) bear drumstick-like glandular hairs (clavate setae) at their pedipalps, which were previously hypothesized to be sticky and used in prey capture. However, clear evidence for this was lacking to date. Using high-speed videography, we found that the harvestman Mitostoma chrysomelas was able to capture fast-moving springtails (Collembola) just by a slight touch of the pedipalp. Adhesion of single clavate setae increased p…
La mente in gioco. Percorsi didattici tra Neuroeducation e Video Education
2015
Il gioco svolge una funzione preziosa in tutte le fasi della vita, in quanto fa emergere le peculiari eccellenze personali di ciascuno. Il libro di Giuseppa Compagno e di Giuseppa Cappuccio indaga la dimensione educativa del gioco a partire da due dall'ambito della Neuroeducation e quello della Video education rispetto a due distinti angoli visuali: il mondo dei videogame con il comune intento di porre in risalto le potenzialità della pratica ludica e le possibili applicazioni metodologiche dell’utilizzo del gioco in campo pedagogico-didattico. Il libro fornisce non solo alcuni spunti utili ad una ricognizione sul gioco nella prospettiva brain-based e nell’ambito della Video Education ma pr…
Effects of video games : English language learning of girls
2014
Erilaiset kannettavat laitteet ovat lisääntyneet viimeisen muutaman vuoden aikana ja levinneet yleiseen käyttöön. Tämä levinneisyys on johtanut myös siihen, että videopelejä on saatavilla enemmän ja pelaaminen on yleistynyt. Samalla pelaamisen tutkimus on lisääntynyt ja videopelit on havaittu hyödyllisiksi. Toisaalta globaalisaatio ja teknologian kehitys on johtanut siihen, että englanti on tullut osaksi arkea entistä enemmän. Videopelit tarjoavat hauskan ja laajan oppimisympäristön, mutta videopelien vaikutuksia kielenoppimiseen ei kuitenkaan ole tutkittu vielä kovinkaan paljoa. Etenkin tyttöjen pelaamisen tutkiminen on vielä vähäistä, koska perinteisesti ajatellaan, että vain pojat pelaav…
Approximate 3D Partial Symmetry Detection Using Co-occurrence Analysis
2015
This paper addresses approximate partial symmetry detection in 3D point clouds, a classical and foundational tool for analyzing geometry. We present a novel, fully unsupervised method that detects partial symmetry under significant geometric variability, and without constraints on the number and arrangement of instances. The core idea is a matching scheme that finds consistent co-occurrence patterns in a frame-invariant way. We obtain a canonical partition of the input shape into building blocks and can handle ambiguous data by aggregating co-occurrence information across both all building block instances and the area they cover. We evaluate our method on several benchmark data sets and dem…
The Regression Tsetlin Machine: A Tsetlin Machine for Continuous Output Problems
2019
The recently introduced Tsetlin Machine (TM) has provided competitive pattern classification accuracy in several benchmarks, composing patterns with easy-to-interpret conjunctive clauses in propositional logic. In this paper, we go beyond pattern classification by introducing a new type of TMs, namely, the Regression Tsetlin Machine (RTM). In all brevity, we modify the inner inference mechanism of the TM so that input patterns are transformed into a single continuous output, rather than to distinct categories. We achieve this by: (1) using the conjunctive clauses of the TM to capture arbitrarily complex patterns; (2) mapping these patterns to a continuous output through a novel voting and n…
Implementation and performance of the third level muon trigger of the ATLAS experiment at LHC
2006
The trigger system of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC aims at a high selectivity in order to keep the full physics potential while reducing the 40 MHz initial event rate imposed by the LHC bunch crossing down to /spl sim/100 Hz, as required by the data acquisition system. Algorithms working in the final stage of the trigger environment (Event Filter) are implemented to run both in a "wrapped" mode (reconstructing tracks in the entire Muon Spectrometer) and in a "seeded" mode (according to a dedicated strategy that performs pattern recognition only in regions of the detector where trigger hypotheses have been produced at earlier stages). The working principles of the offline muon reconstruct…
Can one ever prove that neutrinos are Dirac particles?
2017
According to the "Black Box" theorem the experimental confirmation of neutrinoless double beta decay ($0 \nu 2 \beta$) would imply that at least one of the neutrinos is a Majorana particle. However, a null $0 \nu 2 \beta$ signal cannot decide the nature of neutrinos, as it can be suppressed even for Majorana neutrinos. In this letter we argue that if the null $0 \nu 2 \beta$ decay signal is accompanied by a $0 \nu 4 \beta$ quadruple beta decay signal, then at least one neutrino should be a Dirac particle. This argument holds irrespective of the underlying processes leading to such decays.
What can we learn from neutrinoless double beta decay experiments?
2004
We assess how well next generation neutrinoless double beta decay and normal neutrino beta decay experiments can answer four fundamental questions. 1) If neutrinoless double beta decay searches do not detect a signal, and if the spectrum is known to be inverted hierarchy, can we conclude that neutrinos are Dirac particles? 2) If neutrinoless double beta decay searches are negative and a next generation ordinary beta decay experiment detects the neutrino mass scale, can we conclude that neutrinos are Dirac particles? 3) If neutrinoless double beta decay is observed with a large neutrino mass element, what is the total mass in neutrinos? 4) If neutrinoless double beta decay is observed but ne…
