Tecniche di utilizzo e classificazione di immagini satellitari multispettrali in un'ottica di pianificazione e gestione delle emergenze umanitarie

Il presente lavoro è inserito nel contesto di applicazioni che riguardano la pianificazione e gestione delle emergenze umanitarie. Gli aspetti che si sono voluti mettere in evidenza sono due. Da un lato l'importanza di conoscere le potenzialità dei dati che si hanno di fronte per poterli sfruttare al meglio. Dall'altro l'esigenza di creare prodotti che siano facilmente consultabili da parte dell'utente utilizzando due diverse tecniche per comprenderne le peculiarità. Gli strumenti che hanno permesso il presente studio sono stati tre: i principi del telerilevamento, il GIS e l'analisi di Change Detection.

Estudo para correção dos sensores da rede de monitoramento do campo elétrico em função do campo elétrico de tempo bom

A monitoring network of atmospheric electric field covering the Vale do Paraiba region was implemented. The sensors were located on different sites with different altitude and geographic topology. The present work reports the study carried on those sensors in order to verify the necessity of using some correction factor to the measured local electric field intensity due to effects of local environment. The measurements were done in continuous 24 hours per day with the data recorded on registers in each device accumulating information during a period of four months. The relation between the electric field values by each sensor was compared to the reference located on Sao Jose dos Campos city using the same period. In a graphical analysis using the local field intensity and the reference, the data were fitted to a straight line obtained by minimum square method. Variation up to 95% was observed between the field values in some sensors. Another method was proposed, comparing the mean values of the electric field in a function of time. The variation in some sensors reached up to 133%. We conclude that the variations are due to local atmospheric conditions and no correction factor is required on the electric field sensors

'Team GB', 'Team England' or 'Team Scotland'? Media Representations of 'Britishness', 'Englishness' and 'Scottishness' in London 2012 and Glasgow 2014

Given the timing of the Scottish independence referendum in September 2014, the hosting of both the London 2012 Olympic Games and the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games coincided with a period of considerable political turmoil and reflection within the United Kingdom. The extensive levels of public, political and media scrutiny of both of these major sporting events can therefore be framed within a wider consideration of the contemporary dynamics of the political union between the constituent nations of the UK, as well as the multifarious forms of national identities expressed within the various regions of the ‘nation-state’. Despite the growing influence of social media forms within contemporary society, politics and sport within the UK, the ‘traditional’ print media retain a central (although arguably diminishing) role in the dissemination of information relating to major societal, political and sporting issues to the British public. This paper will therefore critically reflect upon the nature of print media representations of ‘Britishness’, ‘Englishness’ and ‘Scottishness’ at London 2012 and Glasgow 2014 from both London-based and Scotland-based publications, drawing upon empirical data from completed and ongoing doctoral theses from the respective authors. In particular, the implications of the contrasting competitive structures of each event will be considered, given the symbolic differences between the unitary ‘Team GB’ at the London 2012 Olympics and the separated representative teams for Scotland and England at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Studio e Progettazione di Sistemi Hands-free basati su Tecnologie Wearable: Un Caso di Studio in Ambito Healthcare

Il percorso intrapreso per la scrittura della tesi, si snoda essenzialmente in due fasi e nove capitoli. La prima fase ha avuto come scopo l’analisi dal punto di vista tecnologico dell’evoluzione tecnologica avuta nel campo di realtà aumentata e dispositivi wearable in particolare orientandosi verso una tipologia di interazioni hands-free. Questo ha portato ad una ricognizione sullo stato dell’arte permettendo di attenere una base di conoscenza solida per la costruzione del sistema presentato all’interno del caso di studi. I capitoli successivi, in particolare dal quinto, introducono alla seconda fase ed hanno lo scopo di progettare e realizzare il sistema proposto, partendo da un’attenta analisi delle caratteristiche richieste passando per la prototipazione e successiva definizione delle caratteristiche atte alla valutazione del sistema stesso.

Desarrollo de herramientas para la autoevaluación del Laboratorio de Procesado Digital de la Señal

Este proyecto tiene como objetivo el desarrollo de una herramienta que permita al alumno la autocorrección de prácticas de la asignatura de Procesado Digital de la Señal. La herramienta será diseñada por medio del GUI de Matlab, que permite la creación de interfaces gráficos de usuario para la interacción con el alumno, así él mismo podrá comprobar si los resultado obtenidos para el enunciado de la práctica facilitado son correctos. La evaluación del alumno se llevará a cabo pidiendo distintas respuestas sobre las prácticas y comparándolas posteriormente con los resultados correctos. El código invisible al usuario será el encargado de indicar si el resultado es correcto o no lo es. ABSTRACT. The aim of this project is to develop a tool for the students of Digital Signal Processing that help them self-correct their lab exercises. The tool will be designed using the Matlab GUI, which allows the creation of graphical user interfaces to interact with the student, who can check whether the results obtained are correct or not. The student will be asked about different results of the exercises and the answers will be compared with the correct results. A part of the tool hidden to the student will reveal to the lecturer the outcome of this comparison.

Elimination of variability sources in NIR spectra for the determination of fat content in olive fruits

Models for prediction of oil content as percentage of dried weight in olive fruits were comput- ed through PLS regression on NIR spectra. Spectral preprocessing was carried out by apply- ing multiplicative signal correction (MSC), Sa vitzky–Golay algorithm, standard normal variate correction (SNV), and detrending (D) to NIR spectra. MSC was the preprocessing technique showing the best performance. Further reduction of variability was performed by applying the Wold method of orthogonal signal correction (OSC). The calibration model achieved a R 2 of 0.93, a SEPc of 1.42, and a RPD of 3.8. The R 2 obtained with the validation set remained 0.93, and the SEPc was 1.41.

Diseño y optimización de ruido de fase en osciladores utilizando la NDF.

In this paper the use of the NDF is proposed as a general method suitable for analysing any oscillator topology. The most important advantage of this method is that it provides an unique procedure to analyse any oscillator. It also makes possible the phase noise optimization in the linear design phase for any oscillator. An additional advantage of this method is that it does not require any proviso verification as all classic methods need. The use of the NDF method is illustrated with the design of two examples. These two oscillators are manufactured and the simulation results are compared with the measurements showing good agreement. These results confirm the excellent possibilities of the proposed method for low noise oscillators design.
