Virtual Archaeologist: Assembling the Past

This paper describes a semi-automatic system for the reconstruction of archaeological finds from their fragments. Virtual Archaeologist is a system that uses computer graphics to calculate a measure of complementary matching between scanned data and employs optimization algorithms in order to estimate the correct relative pose between fragments and cluster those fragments that belong to the sam...

The psychiatrist as archaeologist and architect

A colleague and I recently proposed a model to guide the description and reform of mental health services and to clarify service evaluation (Tansella & Thornicroft, 1998). The model, which we call the ‘mental health matrix’, consists of two dimensions, one temporal and one geographical. The temporal dimension comprises three phases: input (phase A), process (phase B) and outcome (phase C). The ...

Search for invisibly decaying Higgs bosons

In the last running years, the four Large Electron Positron collider (LEP) experiments collected a combined luminosity of almost 2.5 fb −1 at √ s ≥ 189 GeV. This data was searched for invisibly decaying Higgs bosons produced in association with a Z boson. The channels with electrons, muons and hadrons were investigated. None of the experiments sees hints for the production of such an invisible ...

The role of the archaeologist when producing a serious game

Resum In the frame of the research project undertaken in the site of La Draga, an Early Neolithic (ca. 5,300-4,800 cal BC) pile-dwelling settlement located at the North Eastern of the Iberian Peninsula, we are developing a serious game that recreates the life of a Neolithic community with the purpose of dissemination, entertainment and learning. The videogame has tried to provide the most relia...
