A distributed genetic algorithm for restoration of vertical line scratches
2008
This paper reports a distributed algorithm for the restoration of still frames corrupted by vertical line scratches. The restoration is here approached as an optimisation problem, and is solved using an ad-hoc Genetic Algorithm. The distributed algorithm is designed following a pipeline logical structure. The front end is a network of standard workstations with heterogeneous operating systems. The quality of image is appreciable and the computational time is quite low with respect the sequential version.
Luigi Moretti, from history to parametric architecture
2018
In this article we aim to give new light on the thinking of Luigi Moretti, first to have formulated the concept of parametric architecture, comparing it with those of some contemporary architectural theorists and designers. The latest researches on materials and form-finding experiences have shown a new relationship between form and structure, Moretti understood it before the advent of the internet. Moretti's parameter stems from the architectural tradition, as Carpo sees relations between parametric design and history. Moretti’s Parametric architecture is interdisciplinary, open to science in ways that we are only now understanding. We, therefore, believe that recovering Moretti’s methods …
Cadre institutionnel et contexte de la condition étudiante
2008
08028 - 59 p.; Rapport intermédiaire pour l'Observatoire de la vie étudiante.; Dans ce travail de synthèse, il s'agit de reconstituer le contexte historique et socio-économique dans lequel s'est nichée la condition étudiante au cours du dernier demi-siècle.
An Appeal for Implementing Social Assistance and Welfare Programs for European Children Challenged by Parental Loss
2018
The authors of this commentary, many of whom are part of a working group on social pediatrics supported by some of the European national pediatric societies member of EPA-UNEPSA, conclude that more studies are needed to cross the boundaries between disciplines, for example, looking at the inter-relationship of family life and child health and how parental loss is affecting the micro and macro level of child healthcare service systems. Therefore, this article aims to alert pediatricians to the impact of parental loss on child health and wellbeing. It emphasizes the importance of implementing preventive and social support programs for achieving health promotion and health-protective effects.
A solution process for simulation-based multiobjective design optimization with an application in the paper industry
2014
In this paper, we address some computational challenges arising in complex simulation-based design optimization problems. High computational cost, black-box formulation and stochasticity are some of the challenges related to optimization of design problems involving the simulation of complex mathematical models. Solving becomes even more challenging in case of multiple conflicting objectives that must be optimized simultaneously. In such cases, application of multiobjective optimization methods is necessary in order to gain an understanding of which design offers the best possible trade-off. We apply a three-stage solution process to meet the challenges mentioned above. As our case study, w…

Computer-aided diagnosis in digital mammography: comparison of two commercial systems
2014
Aim: Within this work, a comparative analysis of two commercial computer-aided detection or diagnosis (CAD) systems, CyclopusCAD® mammo (v. 6.0) produced by CyclopusCAD Ltd (Palermo, Italy) and SecondLook® (v. 6.1C) produced by iCAD Inc. (OH, USA) is performed by evaluating the results of both systems application on an unique set of mammographic digital images routinely acquired in a hospital structure. Materials & methods: The two CAD systems have been separately applied on a sample set of 126 mammographic digital cases, having been independently diagnosed by two senior radiologists. According to the human diagnosis, the cases in the sample reference set are divided into 61 negatives and 6…
Computer-Assisted Classification Patterns in Autoimmune Diagnostics: The AIDA Project.
2016
International audience; Antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) are significant biomarkers in the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases in humans, done by mean of Indirect ImmunoFluorescence (IIF) method, and performed by analyzing patterns and fluorescence intensity. This paper introduces the AIDA Project (autoimmunity: diagnosis assisted by computer) developed in the framework of an Italy-Tunisia cross-border cooperation and its preliminary results. A database of interpreted IIF images is being collected through the exchange of images and double reporting and a Gold Standard database, containing around 1000 double reported images, has been settled. The Gold Standard database is used for optimization of …
Adopcijas noslēpuma neizpaušanas ietekme uz bērna tiesiskajām interesēm.
2020
Bakalaura darba tēma ir „Adopcijas noslēpuma neizpaušanas ietekme uz bērna tiesiskajām interesēm”. Autore bakalaura darba tēmas izvēlē un izstrādē balstījusies uz to, ka adopcijas noslēpuma regulējums ir pretējs bērna tiesisko interešu principam, kas valstij jānodrošina, izstrādājot un pieņemot normatīvos aktus. Bērna tiesisko interešu ierobežošana, liedzot noskaidrot savu patieso izcelsmi, ir pretēja tam, ko garantē bērna interešu principa būtība. Bakalaura darbā analizēts vairāku valstu regulējums saistība ar adopcijas noslēpumu un no tā izrietošās bērna tiesiskās intereses noskaidrot savu patieso izcelsmi. Bakalaura darba izstrādes mērķi ir veikt padziļinātu izpēti par bērna interešu pri…
Un aspect négligé de la conscience esthétique révolutionnaire: la laideur des patois
2006
L''articolo intende analizzare un problema trascurato dalla critica: la bruttezza dei dialetti così come percepita durante la Rivoluzione francese. Sono altresì presi in considerazione gli aspetti politico-linguistici di questa valutazione estetica.
