    On using Directional Information for Parameter Space Decomposition in Ellipse Detection

    No full text
    In this paper we use the parametric polar representation to extend the application of edge directional information from circle to ellipse extraction. As a result we obtain a mapping which decomposes the parameter space required for ellipse extraction into two independent sub-spaces and one final histogram accumulator. The mapping includes the tangent of the angle of the first and second directional derivatives. These tangents are computed by considering edge direction at two border points. We show that the use of gradient information for parameter space decomposition avoids the intensive point labelling imposed by geometric constraints used by other approaches

    The Author of this paper adds the point of view of the constitutionalist to the debate on the Italian statute n.40/1994 on assisted reproduction illustrated by Flamigni and Mori in their work.

    No full text
    This essay aims to analize decision no. 84 of 2016 of the Italian Constitu-tional Court, on the matter of scientific research on embryos. In particular the essay dwells with the problematic acknowledgement of the embryo dignity. The Author considers this aspect in the context of the relation between sci-entific evolution and legislative discretionality, taking into account the other deci-sions of the Court on the matter of medically assisted procreation

    Laicità costituzionale e fondamentalismi tra Italia ed Europa : considerazioni a partire da alcune decisioni giurisprudenziali

    No full text
    Attraverso un’analisi della giurisprudenza, italiana ed europea, l’autrice ragiona sul tema del rapporto tra laicità costituzionale, fondamentalismi religiosi e tutela dei diritti individuali nell’ambito della società multiculturale. Il saggio prende le mosse dalla nozione di laicità, nella sua duplice accezione positiva e negativa, per poi affrontare l’esame della giurisprudenza a partire da una ricostruzione dell’approccio dei giudici nei confronti dei reati “culturalmente motivati” e, più in generale, dell’ingresso e del ruolo dei simboli religiosi nello spazio pubblico. Il saggio intende, quindi, mettere in luce le pericolose ricadute che un’apertura indistinta all’istituto della giustificazione culturale e religiosa può provocare sulla tenuta costituzionale dei diritti fondamentali della persona.Throughout an investigation of the most significant national and european case-law, the author chooses to focus on the connection among constitutional secularity, fundamentalism and individual rights protection within multicultural societies. The article starts with the dual concept of constitutional secularity, positive and negative, and goes on by addressing case-law’s approach to cultural offences and to the role and purpose of religious symbols in public spaces. Therefore, the article aims at highlighting the risks involved in the tolerance of any form of cultural defense when it comes to the protection of fundamental rights

    Analysis of an N-Port Consisting of a Radial Cavity and E-Plane Coupled Rectangular Waveguides

    No full text
    An analysis of an n-port including a radial or coaxial cavity and E-plane coupled rectangular waveguides is presented. A nonstandard field matching technique which exploits both circular and rectangular boundaries, is used to determine the scattering matrix parameters of the n-port. Validity of the analysis is verified through comparison with an alternative analysis and experiment
