As digital cameras become more affordable, digital video now plays an important role in medical education and healthcare. In this paper, we propose a novel framework to facilitate semantic classification of surgery education videos. Specifically, the framework includes: (a) Semantic-sensitive video content characterization via principal video shots. (b) Semantic video classification via a mixtu...

This document describes a PhD research track on the disclosure of audiovisual digital archives. The domain of audiovisual material is introduced as well as a problem description is formulated. The main research objective is to investigate the gap between the different users and the digital archives. Next, design research is proposed as a methodology for this research. Lastly, the social and sci...

DLESE Teaching Boxes are metaphors for online assemblies of interrelated learning concepts, digital resources, and cohesive narration that bridge the gap between discrete resources and classroomspecific inquiry-oriented lesson sequences. Currently, technology is being implemented that will support scaleable customizable teaching, creating opportunities for the use of the rich content within dig...

Our research analyses the digital divide within the European Union 27 between the years of 2008 and 2010. To accomplish this we use multivariate statistical methods, more specifically factor and cluster analysis, to address the European digital disparities. Our results lead to an identification of two latent dimensions and five groups of countries. We conclude that a digital gap does, in fact, ...

temporomandibular joint ankylosis causes limitation in mouth opening and establishes severe deformity and asymmetry in patient’s face, especially in children. surgery is the only treatment. this study was conducted to compare the effect of two surgical approaches, gap arthropasty and interpositional gap arthroplasty, on rate of maximum interincisal opening in temporomandibular joint ankylosis. ...

In the mid 1990s, researchers and public policy officials observed a chasm between individuals who had access to computers and the Internet, and those who did not. This gap was termed the “digital divide”. Over the last decade, the digital divide has become an increasingly elastic concept that includes disparities in access to computing infrastructure (NTIA 1995) as well as differences in digit...

Fiji is a Java platform widely used by biologists and other experimental scientists to process digital images. In our research, made together with a biologists team, we use Fiji in some pre-processing steps before undertaking a homological digital processing of images. In a previous work, we have formalised the correctness of the programs which use homological techniques to analyse digital imag...

Our research was initiated in an attempt to analyse the digital gap between nations. With this aim, we approached the measurement of digital disparities between countries by means of multivariate statistical methods. In particular we used factor and cluster analysis to obtain a classification of the levels of digital development. This framework was applied to the European Union (EU) before its ...

Andrea Caccia is the delegate from ANORC 1 , the Italian National Association for digital preservation, a not for profit organisation that acts as a reference point for all the stakeholders involved in the process of digital storage and dematerialisation. ANORC is interested in being involved in the CF development, because it has a precise commitment in delivering training courses to all the pr...
