Global Navigation Satellite Systems And Services

2008

This chapter introduces the concept of Satellite Navigation in the context of space infrastructures and technologies that can contribute for improvement of life on Earth. It includes a review of the motivations for developing a satellite navigation system, and the applications and services these systems have in daily life. Furthermore, currently existing Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GPS and GLONASS) and other GNSS systems under development (GALILEO) are described from different perspectives: from the technical and architectural aspects to the ways chosen to finance their development and operations. To round up this chapter, an analysis of the expected trends in GNSS systems is prese…

Una proposta di ricostruzione 3d dei sistemi decorativi della casa 1 di Finziade (LICATA-AG)

2011

Lo studio e la ricostruzione degli apparati decorativi della Casa 1 dell’abitato ellenistico di Finziade costituiscono parte di un contesto di ricerca più ampio, legato al progetto di scavo e valorizzazione dell’area archeologica del Monte S. Angelo di Licata (AG). Indagini di tipo estensivo hanno porta-to, tra il 2003 e il 2005, alla scoperta di un intero quartiere residenziale dicui sono state scavate 7 case, distribuite all’interno di tre isolati, pertinenti alla medesima fase di monumentalizzazione. Le tre insulae insistono su un sistema di due strade, la plateia A che corre in direzione E-O e la stra-da 1 dall’andamento N-S. Al di sotto della plateia A, nella parte occidentale dell’are…

Virtual bronchoscopy in patients with central endobronchial stenosing lesions. Technique optimisation with single slice spiral CT.

2004

PURPOSE: To describe an original protocol for single slice spiral Computed Tomography (CT) virtual bronchoscopy in the evaluation of patients with central airway stenoses and compare the results with fibreoptic bronchoscopy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten patients (4 female and 6 male; age range 22-60 years; mean age 44 years) with endobronchial disease diagnosed by fibreoptic bronchoscopy (8 malignant tumours, 1 benign tumour and 1 fibroid stenosis) underwent virtual bronchoscopy with single slice spiral CT. A panoramic spiral CT scan of the whole chest was first obtained. Once the area of interest had been identified, a new contrast enhanced scan was performed, from bottom to top, with the fo…

Approccio computazionale per la certificazione di strutture aeronautiche in materiale composito

Il processo di certificazione di strutture in materiale composito utilizzate per componenti aero-strutturali è principalmente analitico supportato dall’evidenza dei test a livello di coupon, elementi, sub-componenti, componenti e full-scale. Il processo di certificazione stabilisce che specifiche metodologie di test e particolari controlli dei processi vengano applicati per la qualifica del materiale e dei vari componenti, per verificare la conformità del progetto ai requisiti richiesti. Le procedure (basate su tecniche statistiche) per la caratterizzazione di materiali compositi, comportano l’impegno di una quantità molto grande di risorse ad ogni livello: il criterio di base infatti vuole…

Towards new social dimensions for children's music making - JamMo as a collaborative and communal M-learning environment

2009

Children’s collaborative music making has recently gained a lot of interest in the field of musical development and learning. Mobile learning (M-learning) is a relatively new field of educational research and so far there has been only few studies about children’s musical collaboration with mobile devices. Current knowledge of children’s social development forms a basis for communicational design of the ubiquitous learning environment. In the present study, which is a part of EU FP7 UMSIC research project, a software JamMo (Jamming mobile) will be designed for the Nokia N810 Internet tablet. In this paper, we report on the communal features of JamMo, which are specified to Jammo’s different…

Le marketing tribal électronique: vers une rationalisation sociale généralisée de la socialisation en ligne ?

2010

International audience; L’instrumentalisation marchande du phénomène de socialisation électronique, sans nous questionner plus avant ici sur son efficacité économique réelle, réactualise la question de la rationalisation du lien social à l’heure de la massification d’Internet. Cette rationalisation est considérée par beaucoup de penseurs critiques, à la suite des travaux d’Habermas sur l’Espace Public, comme un affaiblissement, voire une disparition d’un être-ensemble détaché pour partie de la raison calculatoire, de la logique de l’intérêt. Ainsi, les stratégies marketing ciblant la population internaute, que l’on pourrait rassembler en nous inspirant de Bernard Cova et de Michel Maffesoli…

A Case Study for the Design and Implementation of Immersive Experiences in Support of Sicilian Cultural Heritage

2022

Virtual Reality (VR) is a robust tool for sponsoring Cultural Heritage sites. It enables immersive experiences in which the user can enjoy the cultural assets virtually, behaving as he/she would do in the real world. The covid-19 pandemic has shed light on the importance of using VR in cultural heritage, showing advantages for the users that can visit the site safely through specific devices. In this work, we present the processes that lead to the creation of an immersive app that makes explorable a famous cultural asset in Sicily, the church of SS. Crocifisso al Calvario. The application creation process will be described in each of its parts, beginning from the digital acquisition of the …
