Issues and Future Developments of Infrared Thermography in Sports Science
2016
Although currently infrared thermography has a great number of applications in sports science, there are a number of different aspects that need to be investigated in order to improve the technique, the methodology, the analysis and to increase its application areas. In this chapter, we discuss the issues with and possible developments in infrared thermography in sport science, in order to facilitate future R&D.
Multimodal user interface for a semi-robotic visual assistance system for image guided neurosurgery
2005
Abstract We developed a visual assistance system for image guided neurosurgery, consisting of a stereoscopic digital camera (exoscope) mounted on a semi-robotic manipulator. In order to minimize the operation time, the application-specific multimodal user interface enables hands-free manipulation of the exoscope. The surgeon wears thereby a head-mounted unit with a binocular display, a head tracker, a microphone and earphones. Different modes of view positioning and adjustment can be selected by voice and controlled by head rotation while pressing a miniature confirmation button mounted on a finger ring or suction device. Apart from the development of the mechatronic and software modules of…
MODERN DIDACTIC TERMS IN THE CONTENT OF LATVIAN LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE STUDIES
2015
The article is devoted to a pending matter in the Latvian linguistics and methodology of language and literature – the formation of the system of terminology. The 90-ies of the 20th century when Latvia gained its national independence brought changes not only in the political and economic life but also in the terminology because new realities, which appeared in life, needed new names. Essential transformation in education brought along changes in the nomination system of the specific realities in the sphere. By establishing broader contacts with the pedagogical information field of the Western countries, translating scientific articles one comes in touch with specific concepts of the sphere…
In Search of Evidence for Model-Driven Development Claims: An Experiment on Quality, Effort, Productivity and Satisfaction
2015
Context: Model-Driven Development (MDD) is a paradigm that prescribes building conceptual models that abstractly represent the system and generating code from these models through transformation rules. The literature is rife with claims about the benefits of MDD, but they are hardly supported by evidences. Objective: This experimental investigation aims to verify some of the most cited benefits of MDD. Method: We run an experiment on a small set of classes using student subjects to compare the quality, effort, productivity and satisfaction of traditional development and MDD. The experiment participants built two web applications from scratch, one where the developers implement the code by h…
Visual Behaviour Based Bio-Inspired Polarization Techniques in Computer Vision and Robotics
2012
For long time, it was thought that the sensing of polarization by animals is invariably related to their behavior, such as navigation and orientation. Recently, it was found that polarization can be part of a high-level visual perception, permitting a wide area of vision applications. Polarization vision can be used for most tasks of color vision including object recognition, contrast enhancement, camouflage breaking, and signal detection and discrimination. The polarization based visual behavior found in the animal kingdom is briefly covered. Then, the authors go in depth with the bio-inspired applications based on polarization in computer vision and robotics. The aim is to have a comprehe…
Optimizing the Methodology of Characterization of Municipal Solid Waste in EU under a Circular Economy Perspective
2017
Abstract The methodology for the characterization of residual municipal solid waste (RMSW) is available since decades. Some modifications have been introduced in order to modernize it. Now, in order to take into account the targets of the circular economy, an additional effort must be made to be sure of generating the right information suitable for the optimization of municipal solid waste in that frame. In that perspective, the Authors present a few proposals in order to avoid mistakes and to deepen the reliability of the data generated during the analysis performed to classify the residual municipal solid waste in fractions. A new model of characterization is thus proposed, suitable for p…
Características del Aprendizaje Integrado de Contenidos de Educación Física y Lengua Extranjera
2016
El aprendizaje de inglés se ha convertido en los últimos tiempos en uno de los principales objetivos del sistema educativo, y es clara la propuesta de que la adquisición de esta lengua se lleve a cabo a través de contenidos. La Educación Física (EF), gracias a sus características, parece una de las áreas en las que se apuesta más fuerte por la utilización del inglés como lengua vehicular. Sin embargo, para desarrollar una práctica óptima utilizando esta lengua como vehículo comunicativo, conviene atender tanto a factores propios del aprendizaje de lenguas, como a las peculiaridades de la Educación Física. El presente artículo analiza esas particularidades ligándolas con los aspectos clave d…
Niedoceniony wymiar - aspekt dokonany/niedokonany w polskiej dydaktyce języka angielskiego
2016
Opozycja aspektu dokonanego i niedokonanego jest jednym z tych zjawisk, które gramatyka praktyczna języka angielskiego pomija milczeniem. Polski student tego języka natyka się na tę kategorię gramatyczną zwykle dopiero w czasie studiów na filologii angielskiej, gdzie program gramatyki praktycznej opiera się o takie podręczniki jak A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language autorstwa R.Quirk’a, Greenbaum’a, Svartvik’a i Leech’a. Taka praktyka pedagogiczna wydaje się wskazywać, że w opinii autorów programów nauczania, kategoria dokonaności/niedokonaności czasownika jest zjawiskiem interesującym raczej teoretyków, bez wpływu na ewentualny sukces lub porażkę ucznia usiłującego opanować jęz…
Les études et l'entrée dans la vie active
1998
The survey on the beginnings of working life" The Cereq, the Associated Centres and the Observatories of universities throught about the methodology of longitudinal surveys toward the students of universities. This document is a guide which explains the precautions to realize and conduct surveys, in particular on the beginnings of working life, and suggests some elements of thinking about the analyses of the results.
The Startup Scratch Book – Opening the Black Box of Startup Education
2021
Teaching entrepreneurship and startups is a challenging task. Approaches using real or simulated entrepreneurship as a teaching method are also common in startup education. However, as educators and researchers, we typically only observe the outcomes of the startup journey between weekly lectures and other meetings, whereas the actions taken by the student teams can seldom be observed. This makes the process a black box. All valuable learnings, realizations, and big ideas happen in the students’ minds, and little evidence exists to say what happened during the course. As a result, we are entirely missing out on the most critical elements of the learning process. To remedy this issue, we pro…
