Hyperspectral imaging based biomass and nitrogen content estimations from light-weight UAV
2013
Hyperspectral imaging based precise fertilization is challenge in the northern Europe, because of the cloud conditions. In this paper we will introduce schemes for the biomass and nitrogen content estimations from hyperspectral images. In this research we used the Fabry-Perot interferometer based hypespectral imager that enables hyperspectral imaging from lightweight UAVs. During the summers 2011 and 2012 imaging and flight campaigns were carried out on the Finnish test field. Estimation mehtod uses features from linear and non-linear unmixing and vegetation indices. The results showed that the concept of small hyperspectral imager, UAV and data analysis is ready to operational use.
Curvelet-based method for orientation estimation of particles
2013
A method based on the curvelet transform is introduced for estimating from two-dimensional images the orientation distribution of small anisotropic particles. Orientation of fibers in paper is considered as a particular application of the method. Theoretical aspects of the suitability of this method are discussed and its efficiency is demonstrated with simulated and real images of fibrous systems. Comparison is made with two traditionally used methods of orientation analysis, and the new curvelet-based method is shown to perform clearly better than these traditional methods.

Towards proactive context-aware self-healing for 5G networks
2017
In this paper, we suggest a new research direction and a future vision for Self-Healing (SH) in Self-Organizing Networks (SONs). The problem we wish to solve is that traditional SH solutions may not be sufficient for the future needs of cellular network management because of their reactive nature, i.e., they start recovering after detecting already occurred faults instead of preparing for possible future faults in a pre-emptive manner. The detection delays are especially problematic with regard to the zero latency requirements of 5G networks. To address this problem, existing SONs need to be upgraded from reactive to proactive response. One of the dimensions in SH research is to employ more…
Exercising exclusions: Space, visibility, and monitoring of the exercising fat female body
2019
The author’s aim is to inspect the position of the fat (female) body in the field of exercise. Specifically, the author is interested in fat women’s experiences of their treatment while exercising in public, and argues that, in particular, public spaces for exercise, such as gyms and swimming pools, are currently discursively and concretely constructed as “exclusive” spaces for the normative bodied. Bodies that are deemed non-normative, such as fat bodies, are often made either invisible or intolerable in the discourse of physical activity and exercise. Consequently, public spaces for exercise such as gyms or swimming pools are seen as out of bounds for non-normative bodies and this is refl…
¡No quiero!’ Staging Alfonso Reyes's Ifigenia cruel in Francoist Spain (1958)
2022
La Ifigenia cruel de Alfonso Reyes ha sido reconocida durante mucho tiempo como un himno personal de liberación, que adapta Ifigenia en Tauris de Eurípides a la convulsa costa mexicana de principios del siglo XX. El poema dramático Ifigenia cruel de Alfonso Reyes se estrenó en México en 1934. El espectáculo documentado expuesto, de la compañía Teatro de Ensayo Escena y dirigido de Aitor Goiricelaya, tuvo lugar en el Instituto de Cultura Hispánica en abril de abril de 1958, durante régimen de Franco. El propósito de este artículo es colocar la producción de 1958 en el mapa de representaciones del poema dramático de Reyes, y así ocupar nicho de investigación en torno a la trabajo académico so…
Emotions and Technoethics
2020
The relationship between emotions and ethics has been debated for centuries. The act of understanding emotions through the framework of ethics involves accepting that emotions are to some extent culturally dependent. By linking emotions in design to larger ethical discussions, it may be accepted that ethics and design are both technological constructions designed to shape a collective worldview. While both are cultural constructions, they are in constant dialogue with one another through social discourse and individualistic cognitive–affective appraisal processes. This chapter presents an account of technoethics that challenges ideas of ethical values embedded within technology, drawing att…
Emotions in Technology Design
2020
Understanding emotions is becoming ever more valuable in design, both in terms of what people prefer as well as in relation to how they behave in relation to it. Approaches to conceptualising emotions in technology design, how emotions can be operationalised and how they can be measured are paramount to ascertaining the core principles of design.Emotions in Technology Design: From Experience to Ethics provides a multi-dimensional approach to studying, designing and comprehending emotions in design. It presents emotions as understood through basic human-technology research, applied design practice, culture and aesthetics, ethical approaches to emotional design, and ethics as a cultural frame…
Laboratorio camerte 2016
2017
Le tematiche affrontate nella XXVI edizione del ‘Seminario Internazionale e Premio di Architettura e Cultura Urbana’ hanno rivolto l’attenzione al risanamento e al riuso di spazi, di luoghi e di quartieri urbani dismessi, abbandonati o degradati. Le riflessioni concettuali, teoriche, analitiche, ma soprattutto progettuali presentate nei Seminari e nei Laboratori hanno fornito ulteriori contributi nella proposizione di nuove realtà funzionali indirizzate alla riqualificazione di territori urbani ritenuti oggi ‘vuoti’ non vivibili. Quanto emerso trova riscontro nelle riflessioni introduttive al Seminario del Direttore del SACU, arch. Giovanni Marucci, che sottolinea come sia presente nel prog…
Perfil del futuro docente : nuevos retos en el marco del EEES
2019
En la actualidad, los nuevos requerimientos del siglo XXI en la formación docente son evidentes. El presente trabajo tiene como principal objetivo describir el perfil de los estudiantes universitarios en temas relevantes para su futuro profesional. Entre ellos se consideran importantes los enfoques de enseñanza, la atención a la diversidad, las TIC y su relación con el cyberbullying, la inteligencia emocional y la autoestima. La investigación fue llevada a cabo en la Universidad Católica de San Antonio de Murcia (UCAM) con una muestra de 230 estudiantes de Educación. Los instrumentos utilizados para este propósito fueron el cuestionario de autoestima Rosenberg, ATI, TMMS-24 y un instrumento…
