An architecture for automatic gesture analysis
2000
The field of human-computer interaction has been widely investigated in the last years, resulting in a variety of systems used in different application fields like virtual reality simulation environments, software user interfaces, and digital library systems.A very crucial part of all these systems is the input module which is devoted to recognize the human operator in terms of tracking and/or recognition of human face, arms position, hand gestures, and so on.In this work a software architecture is presented, for the automatic recognition of human arms poses. Our research has been carried on in the robotics framework. A mobile robot that has to find its path to the goal in a partially struc…
Contour/Outline/Silhouette
2020
The contour is the locus at which the parts of opaque solid objects appear to form an edge because it corresponds for the viewer to the projection of the rim, namely the curve that divides the surfaces into visible and invisible parts. The rim between the visible front and the invisible rear side is projected onto the contour that is the envelope of all the curves of equal depth. Although the rim and the contour run into depth, they are distinct concepts that regard the object-centred and the viewer-centred description. The outline is the boundary of the surface delimited by the contour, which fills a spatial region. Rubin (1921) discovered the property that allows the contour and the outli…
Robust Communications for the Underwater Internet of Things
2023
In recent years, the emergence of numerous applications and activities involving the underwater world have given rise to a new class of technologies that takes the name of Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT). Submarine activities such as remote control, pollution monitoring, data collection, disaster detection or even early warning and assisted navigation are just some of the main applications that require the use of underwater communication systems capable of providing connectivity between static and mobile nodes deployed at different depths. Generally, underwater communications employ audio signals which can propagate relatively far but are also significantly affected by Doppler distorti…
Commissioning of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer with cosmic rays
2010
The ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider has collected several hundred million cosmic ray events during 2008 and 2009. These data were used to commission the Muon Spectrometer and to study the performance of the trigger and tracking chambers, their alignment, the detector control system, the data acquisition and the analysis programs. We present the performance in the relevant parameters that determine the quality of the muon measurement. We discuss the single element efficiency, resolution and noise rates, the calibration method of the detector response and of the alignment system, the track reconstruction efficiency and the momentum measurement. The results show that the detector i…

Two-particle azimuthal correlations in photonuclear ultraperipheral Pb+Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV with ATLAS
2021
We thank CERN for the very successful operation of the LHC, as well as the support staff from our institutions without whom ATLAS could not be operated efficiently.

Subjekta vērtību transformācija Kirkegora un Nīčes filozofijā
2019
Šī bakalaura darba mērķis ir aplūkot un salīdzināt noteiktas Sērena Kirkegora un Frīdriha Vilhelma Nīčes idejas. Gan vienam, gan otram uzmanības centrā ir atsevišķs subjekts, kurš ir nonācis krīzes situācijā un kuram pašam nākas uzņemties atbildību par savu esamību un tās attīstību. Kirkegors pamato savas vērtības caur pilnīgu paļāvību uz Dievu, pie kura ved tikai ticības lēciens. Savukārt, Nīče šo problēmu risina, piešķirot pašam cilvēkam likumdevēja un šo likumu izpildītāja lomu. Abu domātāju darbos var konstatēt visai līdzīgu krīzes krustpunktu, kuru katrs mēģina atrisināt izejot no cita domas konteksta.
Synthesis of new fluorinated Tebufenpyrad analogs with acaricidal activity through regioselective pyrazole formation.
2008
In previous studies, our group has shown that the use of fluorinated alcohols such as trifluoroethanol (TFE) and hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) as solvents dramatically increases the regioselectivity in the pyrazole formation from 1,3-diketone with methylhydrazine. We have now applied this synthetic method to the preparation of new fluorinated pyrazoles, which have then been used as synthetic intermediates in the preparation of fluorinated analogs of Tebufenpyrad, a commercial acaricide. These compounds display a strong acaricidal activity that is either comparable to or better than that of the commercial compound.
A produção de documentários como recurso didático TIC para o ensino de geografia e história: metodologia e proposta de trabalho
2015
Nos últimos anos estamos assistindo a uma mudança de paradigma educativo. A inclusão de novas tecnologias nas aulas está transformando as formas de ensinar e transmitir conhecimentos, assim como o modo em que os alunos utilizam os conteúdos e os aplicam em sua vida diária. É fundamental, portanto, dotar essas novas Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TIC´s) de um papel concreto na educação com propostas de inserção em atividades para trabalhar, por exemplo, nas ciências sociais. O presente artigo, fruto de práticas realizadas nas aulas em contextos escolares e universitários no Brasil e na Espanha, pretende apresentar os resultados da utilização da produção de documentários no ensino d…
Evaluation of anti-androgenic activity of di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate
2005
International audience; DEHP is a widely used platiciser in the manufacture of PVC-based materials. It is known to disrupt the reproductive tract development in male rats. We have performed the Hershberger assay with DEHP on an immature castrated rat model to check if DEHP antagonise the testosterone propionate androgenic effect on the accessory sex organs development. DEHP significantly decreased the BC/LA muscles, the prostate, and the seminal vesicles relative weights from 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg bw/day, respectively. DEHP increased the liver relative weight from 100 mg/kg bw/day. A study was also performed on MDA-MB453 cell line stably transfected with pMMTVneo-Luc with DEHP and its maj…
