Published: May 2019

Abstract. Relevant, historically, it is the role of the Diocese of Fermo (Italy) in the Vatican organization dedicated to vast ecclesiastical patrimony on the territory of the Marche region. In this context, for the peculiarity of its identity and its property, the object of this study is the “Chiesa della Pietà”. This research starts with the photogrammetric survey to document and analyse the existing condition of the church. The data acquisition provides many scans following a network schema and the photographic survey allows to create orthoimages to make more realistic the 3D representation. Once acquired the geometric and material survey, a series of investigations have been carried out to assess the surface degradation and the material decay of the external façades and internal environments. Furthermore, some structural problems have been occurred, investigating and verifying the presence of advanced stages of deterioration of the wooden structures and the restoration of these structural elements must be mandatory. To take under control the decay and to propose a restoration step, we have arranged the 3D model in HBIM software with different LOD, according to the BIM Forum Level of Development Specification (2016), suitable to develop a well-structured information system. Before the 3D modelling phase, a decomposition of the building is useful to implement a semantic classification of the architectural elements. Basing on a hierarchy of classes and subclasses, the dedicated database organizes the building components assigning an ID-code to the features, putting in evidence materials decay by a thematic mapping.

Abstract. The area of the monumental complex of the Cathedral and the rectories of S. Lorenzo, located on the “acropolis” of Perugia, has been for more than two thousand years the main religious and civil reference site of all populations since the origin of the city of Perugia. The aim of this research was to survey the monumental complex of the Cathedral of San Lorenzo through the use of various geomatic techniques, with particular attention to the areas of the apse, the transept, the attic, the upper courtyard and the lower one, together with the hypogeal rooms of the Capitular Museum underlying the church, including important and impressive ruins as a portion of an Etruscan terracing wall (2nd century BC).The complex is extremely articulated, so it was necessary to correlate external and hypogeal internal spaces; the site is also characterized by the existence of numerous archaeological traces of various origins, resulting from the succession of events developed over the centuries and countless works that have been integrated, juxtaposed and in some cases replaced by previous ones. All this circumstances contribute to make not easy the understanding of the planimetric and altimetric relationships existing between the different parts and the identification of the real context of the architectural elements is equally complex. The need to connect different areas of the monumental complex located at different levels (from hypogeal rooms and vaults to the church, the attic and the external squares and streets) has required a coordinated and integrated use of geomatic techniques such as precision GNSS positioning (outside the building) and the creation of a very articulated three-dimensional geodetic network connecting the external GNSS vertices with the internal reference points and targets placed in the different areas to frame in a unique global datum the subsequent detailed surveys performed with LIDAR and photogrammetric techniques, so that the single scans and local surveys could be assembled to form a unique 3D model. Among the many aspects highlighted, in particular, it was possible to understand the genesis of the cathedral transept, whose size was dictated by an imposing Etruscan wall. Until now the ruins of the ancient cathedral complex were known - referring to three different buildings, the cathedral, the dodecagonal bell tower and the chapel of Sant'Ercolano - incorporated into the side of the basilical body in front of Piazza IV Novembre. From additional ruins attributed to the structure of the ancient cathedral, it was obtained that the level of the floor of the church has been substantially maintained in the current cathedral.
FROM THE EXTRAORDINARY NATURE OF THE GREAT POMPEII PROJECT TO PLANNED CONSERVATION
Authors: Mauro A.
Published: May 2019

Abstract. The Archaeological Park of Pompeii promotes the most advanced methodologies in preservation, conservation, research, and the promotion of public use of the site. The Great Project Pompeii (GPP), as is evident, has intervened ‘strategically’ on the entire site: on the one hand stabilising the Regiones, on the other hand mitigating the hydrogeological risk of the plateaus and securing the excavation fronts; in addition the GPP has improved accessibility levels. Coping with environmental risks (seismic, volcanic and hydrogeological) is one of the main challenges of the Archaeological Park. First, seismic and volcanic phenomena constitute a major issue in the Pompeii area, embodied by the dormant Mt. Vesuvius. Second, the marked difference in height between the level of the ancient town and that of the unexcavated area, spanning about 22 ha, exerts a strong pressure over the ancient structures and may imply a serious danger of landslides in case of hazard events (seismic and volcanic phenomena or heavy rainfall). These dangers seriously jeopardise the protection of ancient structures and wall-paintings, with subsequent risks to the world cultural heritage site. For this reason, an urgent program of conservation, maintenance, and restoration has been undertaken as part of the Great Pompeii Project. The computerisation of archaeological data is among the most current topics of interest for the management of Cultural Heritage. The Information System (GPP-IS), created with the Plan of the Knowledge of the Great Pompeii Project (GPP), has allowed the creation of a unique knowledge tool for the entire city of Pompeii.

Published: May 2019

Abstract. As a single coherent model, the proposed Virtual Historic Dublin City will improve the current approaches for planning, conserving, presenting and interpreting cultural heritage buildings and their environments. The combination of digital recording, modelling and data management systems enable the interaction with complex, interlinked three-dimensional structures containing rich and diverse underlying data. End users can encompass architectural and engineering conservation, education and research, in addition to public engagement and cultural tourism. In this paper a digital design framework is presented, based on state of the art current approaches for recording, modelling and presenting Virtual Historic Dublin. The modelling sites and structures is based on remotely sensed survey data which is processed and modelled in Historic BIM or GIS allowing the addition of semantic attributes. Archiving and storage of both models and knowledge and information attributes requires open systems and server data base capable of handling vector and point cloud information in addition to other digital data. The dissemination and interaction with the models and attached knowledge attributions is based on combining game engine platforms, Historic BIM, Historic GIS and access to compatible storage and data base.

In the paper, after a general framework on the state of the art in the sector, two recent experiences are reported about Information System and integrated service platform for managing Cultural Heritage that authors contributed to develop with the aim of providing experts of the field with effective and flexible tools: the Information System for the restoration of the Neptune’s Fountain and the SACHER 3D Life Cycle Management for Cultural Heritage service. The paper describes in detail the two case studies and some possible implementation designed but not yet achieved for the latter, and finally presents some starting points for future research.
CULTURAL PROJECTS AND GEOMATIC SURVEYS FOR THE RESILIENCE OF SCHOOL HERITAGE
Authors: Palestini C. , Basso A.
Published: May 2019

Abstract. The contribution, considering the need for an increasingly dynamic and effective knowledge of cultural heritage, able to offer a rapid acquisition, management, monitoring and processing of data, proposes integrated survey experiments conducted with low-cost photogrammetric systems. As part of the research aimed at the recognition of school facilities in Abruzzo, cultural projects aimed at knowledge and conservation have been activated also considering that these buildings are often at risk for critical situations because dated, expanded or readapted without appropriate plans for seismic adjustment even in relation to their delicate tasks. In particular, a project of collaboration between the university and the schools of Pescara was initiated to face a situation characterized by the missing of appropriate technical documentation, the absence of original projects and often the lack of the graphic works in the municipal archives with respect to the current state. The urgency to consider in advance the current state, the performance standards of these degraded public structures that require deep attention achievable with the adjustment of safety standards, difficult to program in the absence of a related survey, has directed the start of the work of analysis from several points of view with multidisciplinary contributions. The three-dimensional detailed models from parametric or manual methodology and their possible inclusion in virtual platforms for archival management of historical data, are functional to the documentation of the actual state, based on the reliable 3d survey that constitutes the starting point to retrace the project, its construction phases, transformations, values and problems aimed at addressing conscious restoration interventions and adjustments to safety standards.

Published: May 2019

Abstract. In this work we test the power of prediction of deep learning for detection of buildings from aerial laser scanner point cloud information. Automatic extraction of built features from remote sensing data is of extreme interest for many applications. In particular latest paradigms of 3D mapping of buildings, such as CityGML and BIM, can benefit from an initial determination of building geometries. In this work we used a LiDAR dataset of urban environment from the ISPRS benchmark on urban object detection. The dataset is labelled with eight classes, two were used for this investigation: roof and facades. The objective is to test how TensorFlow neural network for deep learning can predict these two classes. Results show that for “roof” and “facades” semantic classes respectively, recall is 84% and 76% and precision is 72% and 63%. The number and distribution of correct points well represent the geometry, thus allowing to use them as support for CityGML and BIM modelling. Further tuning of the hidden layers of the DL model will likely improve results and will be tested in future investigations.
INFORMATIVE CONTENT MODELS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE LOAD TESTING MANAGEMENT: THE AZZONE VISCONTI BRIDGE IN LECCO
Authors: Previtali M. , Barazzetti L. , Banfi F. , Roncoroni F.
Published: May 2019

Abstract. Informative models are not limited only to new construction or existing building but can also be used (also been used) for large infrastructure management like bridges. The adoption of informative content models for structural health monitoring (SHM) of such infrastructures poses some issues that need to be solved in order to develop smooth management and maintenance workflows. This paper describes a novel methodology for the generation of a detailed BIM of a complex medieval bridge and the possibility to link specific data coming from load testing. Integration of information coming from different data sources is one of the most important aspects for the development of maintenance programs. However, each actor in the process makes use of different strategies and protocols whose integration can generate bottlenecks. To partially overcome this limitation a cloud-based solution was used, and a Building Information Model (BIM) of the bridge was used as main collector of information for the different stakeholders involved in its management.
The recent amplifying seasonal cycle of the Arctic sea ice extent related to the subsurface cooling in the Bering Sea
Authors: Yang Xiao-Yi , Wang Guihua
Published: May 2019

Abstract. After an unprecedented and accelerated retreat, the total Arctic sea ice cover in recent decade is characterized with low extent and large amplitude of annual cycle. This study investigated the spatial-temporal variation of the Arctic sea ice extent and the potential factors accounting for its amplifying seasonal cycle. The results show that the Chukchi-Bering sector of Arctic exhibits a contrasting decadal variation of sea ice extent between the different seasons: The sea ice in recent decade decreased in summer-autumn seasons but increased significantly in spring, leading an amplifying seasonal cycle. This decadal expansion of spring Chukchi-Bering sea ice may be attributed to the significant subsurface cooling in the northern Bering Sea.
Influence of temperature, humidity, and diluent type on survival of Salmonella spp. on the surface of raw tomatoes
Authors: Tokarskyy Oleksandr , Schneider Keith
Published: May 2019

Tomatoes are an important commodity, placing fourth among most popular vegetables in the U.S. However, fresh tomatoes lack a final pathogen elimination step and have been implicated in Salmonella-related outbreaks. The purpose of the study was to evaluate survival of Salmonella post-drying in three diluents on the surface of green mature tomatoes at 12 °C or 25 °C. Additionally, low and high air relative humidity influence was evaluated at 25 °C on pathogen survival. A five Salmonella rifampin-resistant strain cocktail was double-washed in buffered peptone water (BPW) and resuspended in 0.1% peptone, BPW, or fresh tomato serum. Inoculum (0.1 mL) was allowed to dry on the surface of tomatoes. For study I, tomatoes were placed in 12 °C and 25 °C incubators with no humidity control and sampled on days 0, 1, 3, and 5. For study II, tomatoes were sampled on days 0, 1 (biosafety hood storage) and on day 5 after storage in two 25 oC incubators (low and high relative humidity). Salmonella was recovered from tomatoes (20 mL BPW) and plated (TSA-rif80, 37 °C, 48 hours). Post-drying Salmonella counts (ca. 4.5 - 5.0 log10 CFU.mL-1) remained at 4.03 and 4.40 log10 CFU.mL-1 in serum after 5 days of storage at 12 °C and 25 °C, respectively. Conversely, corresponding counts in BPW and peptone were lower at ca. 1.4 to 1.8 and 2.2 to 2.8 log units at 12 °C and 25 °C, respectively. At low humidity, post-drying Salmonella counts showed highest decline for peptone (final 1.98 log10 CFU.mL-1) compared to BPW (3.79 log10 CFU.mL-1) and tomato serum (4.75 log10 CFU.mL-1) on day 5. Counts declined rapidly to 0.03, 0.56, and 0.44 log10 CFU.mL-1 for peptone, BPW, and tomato serum, respectively, at high humidity on day 5. To summarize, it was shown that increased solutes have protective effect on Salmonella in desiccated conditions, while high humidity storage causes accelerated death of stationary culture within five days storage period.

Published: May 2019

This study adapted and validated a questionnaire for assessing Namibian students’ scientific epistemic beliefs and explore their relation to achievement in science, gender, grade and socioeconomic status. The study was correlational, with a sample of 944 (45% male; 55% female) Grades 11 and 12 students with the mean age M=17.9, SD= 1.4. A Likert scale questionnaire comprised of four dimensions of beliefs: source; certainty; development; and justification of scientific knowledge. The adapted questionnaire had good reliability with the Cronbach’s alpha of subscales ranging from .80 to .83 and the overall reliability of .70.  Model fit analysis yielded good statistical fit with Chi-square ratio to degrees of freedom= 2.71, RMSEA= 0.043, CFI= 0.95, TLI= 0.94, SRMR= .032. The overall regression model was significant F (4, 939) =8.218, p <.001, R2= .034. Two dimensions, certainty (b=.154, p<.001) and justification (b=.100, p<.05) statistically significantly predicted achievement in science. There was statistically significant difference in beliefs about source in terms of gender and grade and about certainty in terms of grade. The results show that the questionnaire works well with the Namibian sample used given the good model fit for the data and reliability. Results are discussed in terms of 21st century skills development.

Published: May 2019

The use of applications is important to support the business processes of companies. However, most of these applications are not designed to function collaboratively. An integration solution orchestrates a group of applications, allowing data and functionality reuse. The performance of an integration solution depends on the optimum configuration of the number of threads in the runtime engine provided by the integration platforms. It is common that this configuration relies on the empirical knowledge of the software engineers, and it has a direct impact on the performance of integration solutions. The optimum number of threads may be found by means of simulation models. This article presents a methodology and a tool to assist with the generation of simulation models based on queuing theory, in order to find the optimum number of threads to execute an integration solution focusing on performance improvement. We introduce a case of study to demonstrate and experiments to evaluate our proposal.
Solving a hypothetical chess problem: a comparative analysis of computational methods and human reasoning
Authors: Andrade Leo Pasqualini de , Tirado Augusto Cláudio Santa Brígida , Brusamolin Valério , Gomes Mateus Das Neves
Published: May 2019

Computational modeling has enabled researchers to simulate tasks which are very often impossible in practice, such as deciphering the working of the human mind, and chess is used by many cognitive scientists as an investigative tool in studies on intelligence, behavioral patterns and cognitive development and rehabilitation. Computer analysis of databases with millions of chess games allows players’ cognitive development to be predicted and their behavioral patterns to be investigated. However, computers are not yet able to solve chess problems in which human intelligence analyzes and evaluates abstractly without the need for many concrete calculations. The aim of this article is to describe and simulate a chess problem situation proposed by the British mathematician Sir Roger Penrose and thus provide an opportunity for a comparative discussion by society of human and artificial intelligence. To this end, a specialist chess computer program, Fritz 12, was used to simulate possible moves for the proposed problem. The program calculated the variations and reached a different result from that an amateur chess player would reach after analyzing the problem for only a short time. New simulation paradigms are needed to understand how abstract human thinking works.

Published: May 2019

Authors have methodically investigated the alternative energy technologies based upon thermoelectricity generation. Firstly, its power is systematically investigated under various work conditions in thermoelectric applications. In addition, they have modeled, designed, and constructed the thermoelectric power system. Moreover, they have invented a state-of-the-art table-top instrument that may evaluate several critical thermoelectric characters in situ. Several aspects of the thermoelectric features are characterized in situ that include the efficiency, force response curve, current-voltage (i.e., I-V) curve, power-voltage (P-V) curve, and the power versus temperature (P-T) responses. Furthermore, they have successfully built a high-power heat harvester and have applied to the automotive case study in details. Finally, they have obtained the multi-stack thermoelectric devices that have improved characters; e.g., both the power output and the thermoelectric efficiency have improved in comparison to the devices commercially available. The investigation leads to 19+% efficiency in triple stack devices and 10+% in dual-stack.
Moment-Based Density Approximation Techniques as Applied to Heavy-tailed Distributions
Authors: Jin Kang John Sang , Provost Serge B. , Ren Jiandong
Published: May 2019

Several advances are made in connection with the approximation and estimation of heavy-tailed distributions. It is first explained that on initially applying the Esscher transform to heavy-tailed density functions such as the Pareto, Studentt and Cauchy, said densities can be approximated by employing a certain moment-based methodology. Alternatively, density approximants can be obtained by appropriately truncating such distributions or mapping them onto finite supports. These techniques are then extended to the context of density estimation, their validity being demonstrated by means of simulation studies. As well, illustrative actuarial examples are presented.

The present study had as objective to determine mathematical equations to estimate the leaf area of pear cv. ‘Triunfo’ using linear dimensions of the leaves. For that, 300 healthy leaves of different sizes from each quadrant of plants from the small farm of Boa Vista located in the city of Montanha, at the northern side of the State of Espírito Santo, Brazil were used. The length (L) along the main vein was measured, along with the maximum width (W) of the leaf blade and observed leaf area (OLA), in addition to the product of the length and width (LW) of each leaf. From these measurements models of linear equations of first degree, quadratic and power were adjusted and their respective R2, using OLA as dependent variable and L, W and LW as independent variable. Based on the proposed equations, the data were validated obtaining the estimated leaf area (ELA). The mean of the ELA and OLA were compared by Student t test 5% probability. The mean error (E), the mean absolute error (MAE) and the root mean squared error (RMSE) was also used as validation criterion. The best equation model was defined based on the non-significant values from the comparison of means of ELA and OLA, E, MAE and RMSE values closer to zero and highest R2. The leaf area of pear cv. ‘Triunfo’ can be estimated by the equation ELA = -0.432338 + 0.712862(LW) non-destructively and with a high degree of precision.

Published: May 2019

In field conditions, the more usual application of cytokinins is based mainly on seed treatment and foliar spraying. Nowadays, seed priming with plant growth regulators is a successful agricultural practice due to its easy application in annual crops, resulting in a higher vigor and production. In order to evaluate the effect of the treatment of common bean seeds with N6-benzyladenine (6-BA), in the morphophysiology and crop yield, an experiment was carried out in a greenhouse, in a completely randomized design with four replicates and five doses of 6-BA (0, 0.0375, 0.075, 0.1125 and 0.15 g kg-1 of seed). The growth regulator was applied to the seeds in order to cover their entire surface. At 30 days after emergence, the physiological parameters were increased as a function of the doses of 6-BA. On the other hand, at 30 and 45 days after emergence of the crop, there was a drastic reduction in nodulation with increased 6-BA doses, which resulted in the lower accumulation of leaf nitrogen, pod number, and common bean yield. The ranging doses till 0.15 g kg-1 of seed of the cytokinin 6-BA are not recommended in seed priming of common beans. However, the effective recommendation of cytokinin as a seed priming is still not determined, and studies about products and doses must be improved before recommendation.

The beneficial effects to the soil, when using cover crops, are numerous, such as nutrient cycling, nitrogen fixation, breaking of the cycle of pests and diseases, soil structuring and addition of dry matter. This makes the subsequent crop better able to express its productive potential. The nitrogen is a key element for any plant, especially in the early stages of crop development. In this way, the purpose of this study work was to evaluate the effect of nitrogen doses on the grain yield of soybeans grown on black oat and forage pea straw in a clayey Latosol in the western region of Paraná, Brazil. The experiment was conducted in the experimental area of the Agronomic Institute of Paraná (IAPAR), in the regional hub of Santa Tereza do Oeste. The local soil is classified as a typical Dystrophic Red Latosol. The experimental design consisted of a randomized complete block design with five replicates. The treatments consisted of nitrogen doses of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 kg ha-1 applied in a broadcasting cover, without incorporation, using urea as a nitrogen source, at 20 days after emergence when the plants were in stage V3. The soil physical attributes were bulk density, total porosity, microporosity, and macroporosity. In the soybean crop, the production components evaluated were: plant height, 100-grain weight, and grain yield of grains. The data were submitted to analysis of variance, in which, for the quantitative factors, a regression analysis was performed and, for the qualitative characteristics, the Tukey test (p < 0.05) was performed. The mineral addition of nitrogen did not lead to an increase in grain yield of the cultivated soybean on the species of oat or forage pea cover. Thus, it can be stated that in well-structured clayey Latosols with high fertility, the nitrogen present in the soil organic matter and what was fixed symbiotically is sufficient to supply the nitrogen demand for the soybean crop.

This bibliographical review brings information about the productive chain of beans, an essential product in the Brazilian diet, but present in several countries of the world. Beans are a source of protein, fiber, minerals and vitamins, allowing for healthy eating for easy access. Being, Brazil is the third largest producer of beans in the world, losing only to Myanmar and India, also the main consumer of beans in the world, having to import part of the beans consumed in Argentina. Due to iss, the bean culture is a promising crop, since the supply does not meet the domestic demand, being necessary the application of technologies that improve the yield and facilitate the cultivation. One of the obstacles of the crop is the susceptibility of the deterioration of the grains to store them, because, these grains stored, the commercial value tends to fall due to loss of quality. The objective of the work was to raise information on the productive chain of the beans. Periodicals, books, and information literatures were explored. Therefore, in view of the above, it was observed that in Brazil, the crop still needs to stimulate cultivation to supply domestic demand, improve storage conditions, invest in genetic improvement to maintain grain quality, and the study is necessary of new alternatives of destination for the residues generated by the processing and beneficiation of grains.

Chemical transformation of diterpenoid alkaloids
Authors: J Ganbaatar , D Batsuren
Published: May 2019

The diterpenoid alkaloids, with an intriguing chemistry and numerous varied bioactivities, constitute the largest and most complicated group of terpenoid alkaloids. The diterpenoid alkaloids, isolated mainly from Aconitum and Delphinium species (Ranunculaceae), have been of great interest since the early 1800 because of their pharmacological properties. Extracts of Aconitum species were used in ancient times for treatment of gout, hypertension, neuralgia, rheumatism, and even toothache. Extracts have also been used as arrow poisons. Some Delphinium species are extremely toxic and constitute a serious threat to livestock. Delphinium extracts also manifest insecticidal properties. In the past 30 to 40 years, interest in the diterpenoid alkaloids has increased because of the complex structures and interesting chemistry involved. In this review, we summarize recent progress on the chemical transformations of diterpenoid alkaloids.

Transtextualidades na narrativa da televisão brasileira: transformações textuais num esquete humorístico de Os Trapalhões
Authors: Bona Rafael Jose
Published: May 2019

O artigo tem como objetivo analisar as transformações textuais de um esquete de humor televisivo brasileiro intitulado O grotóco do caqui (1988), da comédia de situação (sitcom) Os Trapalhões e exibido na TV Globo. O esquete faz uma transformação textual da parte final do clássico Branca de Neve (Irmãos Grimm). Se faz uma análise por meio da quinta categoria da transtextualidade, a hipertextualidade, proposta por Genette (2010). Os resultados constatam que há uma circulação de textos dos mais diversos, e não somente de Branca de Neve. Há uma reciclagem de diferentes obras num constante contato de entrelaçamento intertextual. Este cenário se configura como uma espécie de jogo hipertextual em que se remetem às diferentes formas de produções textuais, na utilização de hipotextos, ao jogar com eles e, ao mesmo tempo, se jogar dentro deles.
