Studio di piattaforme GIS, attraverso un corpus di documenti di rilievo della Parigi Ottocentesca. = Studying GIS platforms through a corpus of relevant documents of nineteenth-century Paris. (2018)

Studio di piattaforme GIS, attraverso un corpus di documenti di rilievo della Parigi Ottocentesca. Il presente elaborato ha l’intenzione di illustrare l’apporto che le piattaforme GIS (Geographic Information System) possono offrire in alcuni ambiti legati allo studio del patrimonio culturale. In particolar modo si analizzano alcune procedure di operabilita per un progetto finalizzato alla gestione dei dati inerenti alle trasformazioni di centri urbani. Questi programmi mettono in relazione informazioni spaziali (localizzazioni), basandosi sulla cartografia e sulle mappe digitali contemporanee, a dati tematici di diversa natura. Lo scopo dello studio e quello di confrontare le prestazioni oggi offerte dalle piattaforme commerciali e dalle piattaforme Open Source mettendo in evidenza analogie e differenze. Sono stati utilizzati due programmi, conosciuti durante il percorso di studi, che si sono affermati nel corso degli anni e che hanno un’ampia diffusione, in piu nazioni. Per l’esecuzione dei test comparativi volti a valutare le prestazioni delle piattaforme GIS considerate si sono utilizzati una serie di dati omogenei. I dati inseriti nelle indagini, sono riferiti alla citta di Parigi nel periodo storico della meta del Diciannovesimo secolo, in cui la capitale e stata interessata da sostanziali cambiamenti dal punto di vista della pianificazione urbana. In particolare le informazioni si riferiscono ad una serie di edifici, oggetto di rilievo dell’architetto Gabriel Davioud (1824 – 1881), precedenti alle demolizioni del piano Haussmann. L’elaborazione puo essere sinteticamente suddivisa in tre marco fasi: - Ricerca e inserimento delle informazioni spaziali. - Analisi delle informazioni tematiche e creazione di un database. Caricamento delle informazioni su programma GIS tramite attributi. Relazione tra tabelle esterne e tabelle direttamente generate dal programma. - La gestione degli oggetti tridimensionali sui programmi GIS, operazioni possibili, meccanismi e procedure da effettuare, risultati e livello di dettaglio che e possibile ottenere sui programmi utilizzati. La serie di prove eseguite consente di affermare che oggi le piattaforme Open Source offrono le stesse potenzialita delle piattaforme commerciali dimostrando alcune differenze, favorevoli alle piattaforme commerciali, nella gestione di modelli 3D.

Von Willebrand factor for outcome prediction within different clinical stages of advanced chronic liver disease (2021)

Background Although von Willebrand factor (VWF)-levels have been reported to predict hepatic decompensation/mortality, the specific prognostic value of VWF in distinct clinical stages (CS) has not been systematically assessed.
Optical properties of normal, diseased, and laser photocoagulated myocardium at the Nd:YAG wavelength (1991)

Laser photocoagulation of the myocardium effectively destroys arrhythmogenic foci. The purpose of this study was 1) to compare the optical properties of canine myocardium before and after photocoagulation, 2) to compare the canine model with clinical cases by measuring the optical properties of human myocardium, and 3) to assess the optical properties of human myocardial scar and epicardial fat tissue. Measured optical properties were the absorption coefficient, mu a; scattering coefficient, mu s; and scattering anisotropy factor, g. Optical measurements were performed at 1064 nm wavelength on thin plane parallel tissue slices using the integrating sphere method with glass hemispheres on either side of the sample. The study showed 1) an increase of the scattering coefficient by 40% and a two- to threefold increase in reduced scattering coefficient as a result of photocoagulation; 2) that the mu a (0.035 +/- 0.024 mm-1) and mu s (17.9 +/- 3.8 mm-1) of human myocardium were not significantly different from mu a (0.043 +/- 0.021 mm-1) and mu s (17.3 +/- 2.2 mm-1) of canine myocardium, whereas the human g (0.964 +/- 0.005) was slightly different from the canine g (0.974 +/- 0.008); and 3) that the mu a (0.021 +/- 0.016 mm-1) of epicardial fat and mu s (13.8 +/- 1.1 mm-1) of myocardial scar were significantly lower than those of normal myocardium. A dynamic model of laser-tissue interaction incorporating these changes and inhomogeneities is necessary to better describe light distribution during laser photocoagulation.

Binary integration for Swerling target fluctuations (1998)

Binary Integration is a suboptimal approach offering most of the benefits of integration with a simpler and less expensive receiver implementation than optimum coherent integration. We develop accurate, reliable, and efficient methods for binary integration computations for both the constant and Swerling target models. Binary integration introduces a new parameter M, the required number of threshold crossings to declare a detection. With these programs, we can readily do all the calculations necessary to determine the optimum values for M. We find that the assumed loss of 1.5 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) per pulse for binary integration holds for small and large N, not only for the constant targets, but also for the Swerling target fluctuations.
Lubricant Degradation and Wear IV. The Effect of Oxidation on the Wear Behavior of Pentaerythrityl Tetraheptanoate (1981)

Abstract Wear studies carried out in conjunction with a study of the kinetics and mechanism of the autoxidation of pentaerythrityl tetraheptanoate (PETH) showed that small degrees of oxidation produced large increases in wear rate. The results indicate that monoesters of dicarboxylic acids in conjunction with hydroperoxides are the oxidation products which result in the increased wear. Presented as an American Society of Lubrication Engineers paper at the ASME/ASLE Lubrication Conference in San Francisco, California, August 18–21, 1980.

“Pseudoascites” Secondary to an Amylase-Producing Serous Ovarian Cystadenoma (1989)

Large intraabdominal cystic tumors may mimic ascites. In particular, large ovarian cystadenomas may be mistaken for ascites, and when tapped, may contain an elevated cyst fluid amylase. The amylase from ovarian neoplasms, however, is distinguishable from pancreatic or salivary amylase in that it is more acidic in its isoelectric focusing. Additionally, epithelial cells from the tumor do not contain zymogen granules when examined with electron microscopy. We describe what we think is the third reported case of a patient with "pseudoascites" secondary to an amylase-producing serous cystadenoma.

A minimally intrusive method for analysing the timing of RTEMS core characteristics (2016)

Verification of software requirements in critical systems should be performed to prove that the design is feasible implying that system designers must account for the real-time behaviour of the execution infrastructure, which includes the real-time operating system (RTOS). In this paper, we describe a new approach for analysing the timing of real-time executive for multiprocessor systems (RTEMS) core characteristics, an RTOS used to support embedded real-time space applications. The described approach is minimally intrusive and hardware-based, meaning that an external tool is plugged onto the system analysed with no need to modify the RTOS internal source code. The developed tool was implemented using a high-performance field-programmable gate array (FPGA). Experiments were carried out taking a satellite on-board computer case study. Real execution timing data collected from the case study indicate the effectiveness of the described approach.
Estimating Aquifer Transmissivity from Specific Capacity Using MATLAB (2005)

Historically, specific capacity information has been used to calculate aquifer transmissivity when pumping test data are unavailable. This paper presents a simple computer program written in the MATLAB programming language that estimates transmissivity from specific capacity data while correcting for aquifer partial penetration and well efficiency. The program graphically plots transmissivity as a function of these factors so that the user can visually estimate their relative importance in a particular application. The program is compatible with any computer operating system running MATLAB, including Windows, Macintosh OS, Linux, and Unix. Two simple examples illustrate program usage.
Parallel test reduces cost of test more effectively than just a cheap tester (2004)

Today's manufacturers of high-volume consumer devices are under tremendous cost pressure and consequently under extreme pressure to reduce cost of test. Low-cost ATE has often been promoted as the obvious solution. Parallel test is another well-known approach, where multiple devices are tested in parallel (multi-site test) and/or multiple blocks within one device are tested in parallel (concurrent test). This paper shows quantitatively that parallel test is a much effective test cost reduction method than low-cost ATE, because it reduces all test cost contributors, not only capital cost of ATE. It also shows that the optimum number of sites is relatively insensitive to ATE capital cost, operating cost, yield, and various limiting factors, but the cost benefits diminish fast, if limited independent ATE resources reduce the degree of parallelism and force a partially sequential test.
Ligand-Induced Tyrosine Phosphorylation of Cysteinyl Leukotriene Receptor 1 Triggers Internalization and Signaling in Intestinal Epithelial Cells (2010)

Our data suggests that upon ligand activation, CysLT(1)R is tyrosine-phosphorylated and released from heterodimers with CysLT(2)R and, subsequently, internalizes from the plasma membrane to the nuclear membrane in a clathrin-, arrestin-3-, and Rab-5-dependent manner, thus, enabling Erk1/2 signaling and downstream transcription of the COX-2 gene.
Design and realization of a broadband printed dipole array for the radio-localization of mobile phones from drones (2021)

We present in this paper the study and characterization of a network of antennas conceived within the framework of the SOSPEDRO project (Surveillance de zones Sinistreìes et de Personnes par Drone). The objective of this project is to help rescue forces in their missions to monitor areas and people in distress using a drone-mounted system. We have developed a circular antenna array of 8 wide-band antennas with polarization diversity in order to cover the frequency range from 400 to 2400 MHz (PMR, GSM 800/900/1800/1900, UMTS and LTE). The search and radio-localization of people in a hostile environment will be carried out using the emission of their mobile phones.
Adaptive control schemes for stabilizing switching frequency of sliding mode controlled power converters (2005)

A major disadvantage of applying sliding mode control to power converters is that the steady-state switching frequency is affected by line and load variations. This is undesirable as it complicates the input and output filters' design. A possible solution is to incorporate adaptive control schemes into the controller. This paper presents a thorough investigation into the problem and solution. Experimental results confirm that the adaptive control schemes are capable of reducing switching frequency variations.
Influence of Machining and Assembling Errors on Tooth Contact of Hourglass Worm Gearing. In the case where the primary tool surface is a conical surface. (1991)

In this paper, the method of tooth contact analysis (TCA) is applied to hourglass worm gearing generateded by a conical surface, to analyze the influence of machining and assembling errors on tooth contact. Various errors in machining and assembling are introduced from the viewpoint of actual production. Software for calculating TCA and for mapping the contact pattern is developed. Different contact patterns are presented as examples to show the changes of the contact area with different errors, such as errors of the center distance, errors of the position in axial direction and errors of the axis angle. It is shown that the influences of machining errors and assembling errors on tooth contact can be eliminated under certain conditions. The results are expected to be useful as a reference for improving machining and assembling accuracy in production.
Implementing virtual memory in a vector processor with software restart markers (2006)

Traditional vector architectures often lack virtual memory support because it is difficult to support fast and precise exceptions for these machines. In this paper, we propose a new exception handling model for vector architectures based on software restart markers, which divide the program into idempotent regions of code. Within a region, the processor can commit instruction results to the architectural state in any order. If an exception occurs, the machine jumps immediately to the exception handler and kills ongoing instructions. To restart execution, the operating system has just to begin execution at the start of the region. This approach avoids the area and energy overhead to buffer uncommitted vector unit state that would otherwise be required with a high-performance precise exception mechanism, but still provides a simple exception handling interface for the operating system. Our scheme also removes the requirement of preserving vector register file contents in the event of a context switch. We show that using our approach causes an average performance reduction of less than 3% across a variety of benchmarks compared with a vector machine that does not support virtual memory.

Growth and spontaneous differentiation of umbilical-cord stromal stem cells on activated carbon cloth (2013)

We have investigated the capacity of activated carbon cloth to support the growth and differentiation of human mesenchymal umbilical-cord stromal stem cells. Our results demonstrate that this scaffold provides suitable conditions for the development of cell-derived matrix proteins and facilitates the growth of undifferentiated stem cells with the ability to induce osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation. Immunoflourescence staining revealed extensive expression of collagen in all the samples, and collagen type II and osteopontin within the samples cultivated in specific differentiation-inducing media. Cell growth and the formation of natural collagen, calcium-magnesium carbonate and hydroxyapatite crystals, together with the self-assemblage of collagen to produce suprafibrillar arrangements of fibrils all occur simultaneously and can be studied together ex vivo under physiological conditions. Furthermore, the spontaneous differentiation of stem cells cultured on activated carbon cloth with no osteogenic supplements opens up new possibilities for bone-tumour engineering and treatment of traumatic and degenerative bone diseases.
Collective attention and the dynamics of group deals (2012)

We present a study of the group purchasing behavior of daily deals in Groupon and LivingSocial and formulate a predictive dynamic model of collective attention for group buying behavior. Using large data sets from both Groupon and LivingSocial we show how the model is able to predict the success of group deals as a function of time.We find that Groupon deals are easier to predict accurately earlier in the deal lifecycle than LivingSocial deals due to the total number of deal purchases saturating quicker. One possible explanation for this is that the incentive to socially propagate a deal is based on an individual threshold in LivingSocial, whereas in Groupon it is based on a collective threshold which is reached very early. Furthermore, the personal benefit of propagating a deal is greater in LivingSocial.
Methylation of leukocyte DNA and ovarian cancer: relationships with disease status and outcome (2014)

We have identified several CpGs in leukocytes that are differentially methylated by case-control status. Since a retrospective study design was used, we cannot differentiate whether DNAm was etiologic or resulting from EOC; thus, prospective studies of EOC-associated loci are the critical next step.
Piecewise Linear Thermal Model and Recursive Parameter Estimation of a Residential Heating System (2016)

Model predictive control (MPC) strategies show great potential for improving the performance and energy efficiency of building heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. A challenge in the deployment of such predictive thermostatic control systems is the need to learn accurate models for the thermal characteristics of individual buildings. This necessitates the development of online and data-driven methods for system identification. In this paper, we propose a piecewise linear thermal model of a building. To learn the model, we present a Kalman filter based approach for estimating the parameters. Finally, we fit the piecewise linear model to data collected from a residential building with a forced-air heating and ventilation system and validate the accuracy of the trained model.

Readers will learn how to: * pinpoint the most profitable products or sales regions * figure the rate of return from a capital investment * make internal management reports more useful * understand and prepare a statement of cash flows Its straightforward approach will appeal to all managers and executives who need a practical, comprehensible lesson in using financial analysis to set key business goals, measure results, and make smart decisions.
Memory-Efficient Architecture for Hysteresis Thresholding and Object Feature Extraction (2011)

Hysteresis thresholding is a method that offers enhanced object detection. Due to its recursive nature, it is time consuming and requires a lot of memory resources. This makes it avoided in streaming processors with limited memory. We propose two versions of a memory-efficient and fast architecture for hysteresis thresholding: a high-accuracy pixel-based architecture and a faster block-based one at the expense of some loss in the accuracy. Both designs couple thresholding with connected component analysis and feature extraction in a single pass over the image. Unlike queue-based techniques, the proposed scheme treats candidate pixels almost as foreground until objects complete; a decision is then made to keep or discard these pixels. This allows processing on the fly, thus avoiding additional passes for handling candidate pixels and extracting object features. Moreover, labels are reused so only one row of compact labels is buffered. Both architectures are implemented in MATLAB and VHDL. Simulation results on a set of real and synthetic images show that the execution speed can attain an average increase up to 24× for the pixel-based and 52× for the block-based when compared to state-of-the-art techniques. The memory requirements are also drastically reduced by about 99%.
