QUALITY ASSURANCE IN PREUNIVERSITY ROMANIAN EDUCATION WITHIN THE EU INTEGRATION
2013
The Purpose of this work is to show the importance of quality assurance in Romanian pre-university education. The research objectives are:identification of quality performance descriptors of Romanian pre-university education,identify performance improvement indicators as Research methodology is documented by capturing the qualitative analysis. The results of the research led to the understanding of the extent to which quality Romanian preuniversity education management is, compared to Europe.
Soundscape design through evolutionary engines
2008
Abstract Two implementations of an Evolutionary Sound Synthesis method using the Interaural Time Difference (ITD) and psychoacoustic descriptors are presented here as a way to develop criteria for fitness evaluation. We also explore a relationship between adaptive sound evolution and three soundscape characteristics: keysounds, key-signals and sound-marks. Sonic Localization Field is defined using a sound attenuation factor and ITD azimuth angle, respectively (Ii, Li). These pairs are used to build Spatial Sound Genotypes (SSG) and they are extracted from a waveform population set. An explanation on how our model was initially written in MATLAB is followed by a recent Pure Data (Pd) impleme…
Complex objects classified by morphological shape analysis and elliptical Fourier descriptors
2005
This chapter deals with the classification of complex objects by morphological shape analysis and elliptical Fourier descriptors. An unsupervised method has been proposed to identify components with specific shapes by a simple edge detector and to classify them via the description of their contours. A particular application has been arranged in order to evaluate the goodness of this approach when discriminating between normal and pathological human megakaryocytes. Alterations in these cells can occur in many pathological processes and in such cases the pattern, size and shape of the cytoplasm and/or of the nucleus are extremely varied.
