Obras para voz y piano de Honorio Siccardi : música argentina del siglo XX

Con la edición del presente trabajo entregamos a los estudiosos de la historia de la Música Argentina del Siglo XX, recopilación y digitalización de obras para voz y piano del compositor Honorio Mario Siccardi (1897-1963). Cabe mencionar que este trabajo se inicia en el año 2005 a partir del proyecto de investigación: “Música Argentina del Siglo XX. Obras para voz y piano de Honorio Siccardi", subsidiado por Secretaría de Ciencia, Técnica y Posgrado de la Universidad Nacional de Cuyo y continúa con mi tema de Tesis: “Obras para voz y piano de Honorio Siccardi: una aproximación analítica", en la Maestría en Arte Latinoamericano, defendida en marzo de 2009[418 páginas], en la misma Universidad. La documentación es relevada del archivo personal del compositor, situado en la Ciudad de Dolores en la provincia de Buenos Aires, el cual está bajo la supervisión y cuidado de su hijo Héctor Siccardi. Las partituras publicadas, con el consentimiento de las editoriales citadas y los herederos habientes, están agotadas (casi en su totalidad) o de difícil acceso, por lo tanto han sido incorporadas en este trabajo para completar el total de obras para voz y piano del compositor. El trabajo de digitalización de los manuscritos de las obras presentadas es realizado por las profesoras Verónica Cortes (Nº 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 16), María Emilia Greco (Nº 2, 3, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 y 23) y Natacha Sánchez (Nº 1 y correcciones generales), integrantes del proyecto mencionado, egresadas y docentes de la Facultad de Artes y Diseño de la Universidad Nacional de Cuyo.

Hands-on training in Nonimaging Optics for SME's: the SMETHODS experience

A 5-day training in Nonimaging Optics for European SME’s employees was carried out in June 2012 in the framework of the FP7 funded Support Action "SMETHODS". The training combined theoretical introduction and hands-on practice. The experience was very positive, and the lessons learned will improve the next scheduled sessions. Introduction The FP7 funded Support Action "SMETHODS" [1] is an initiative of seven European academic institutions to strengthen Europe's optics and photonics industry, which has started on 1 September 2011. Participation in training sessions is free for participants, who are selected with priority will be given to employees of small and medium sized European enterprises (SMEs). The consortium in SMETHODS is formed by seven partners that are the most prominent academic institutions in optical design in their countries. Through fully integrated collaborative training sessions, the consortium provides professional assistance as well as hands-on training in a variety of design tasks in four domains: (1) imaging optics, (2) nonimaging optics, (3) wave optics, and (4) diffractive optics. For each of this domains domain, 5-day training sessions are scheduled to be hold in different locations throughout Europe, four times in two years, the teach four times in a 2.5 years period.

3D Visual Data-Driven Spatiotemporal Deformations for Non-Rigid Object Grasping Using Robot Hands

Sensing techniques are important for solving problems of uncertainty inherent to intelligent grasping tasks. The main goal here is to present a visual sensing system based on range imaging technology for robot manipulation of non-rigid objects. Our proposal provides a suitable visual perception system of complex grasping tasks to support a robot controller when other sensor systems, such as tactile and force, are not able to obtain useful data relevant to the grasping manipulation task. In particular, a new visual approach based on RGBD data was implemented to help a robot controller carry out intelligent manipulation tasks with flexible objects. The proposed method supervises the interaction between the grasped object and the robot hand in order to avoid poor contact between the fingertips and an object when there is neither force nor pressure data. This new approach is also used to measure changes to the shape of an object’s surfaces and so allows us to find deformations caused by inappropriate pressure being applied by the hand’s fingers. Test was carried out for grasping tasks involving several flexible household objects with a multi-fingered robot hand working in real time. Our approach generates pulses from the deformation detection method and sends an event message to the robot controller when surface deformation is detected. In comparison with other methods, the obtained results reveal that our visual pipeline does not use deformations models of objects and materials, as well as the approach works well both planar and 3D household objects in real time. In addition, our method does not depend on the pose of the robot hand because the location of the reference system is computed from a recognition process of a pattern located place at the robot forearm. The presented experiments demonstrate that the proposed method accomplishes a good monitoring of grasping task with several objects and different grasping configurations in indoor environments.

Access to environmental information in an Open European Society - Directive 2003/4. Research Paper in Law 5/2003

[From the Introduction]. Information gives knowledge and knowledge gives power. Though in all EC Member States, the task to protect the environment is given to the administration, it is obvious that the administration is not the owner of the environment. The environment is everybody's. It is for this reason that administrative decisions which affect the environment must be transparent, open and must strike a balance between the general interest to preserve, protect and improve the quality of the environment on the one hand, the satisfying of specific private or public interests on the other hand. In order to allow at least a certain control of whether the administration strikes the right balance between the need to protect the environment and other legitimate or less legitimate needs, it appears normal and self-evident that information on the environment which is in the hands of public authorities, be also made available to the public and to citizens.
