    Patologia comportamentale : il gatto che sporca in casa: due casi esemplificativi del problema

    No full text
    This paper describes two cases of housesoiling problems in cats. In both clinical cases, environmental changes induced the onset of the problem. In the first case, housesoiling was the only behavioural problem and no major changes in other behaviours were reported. The therapy in this case only implied environmental modifications and modifications of the pet-owner relationship. In the second case the patient presented, along with the housesoiling problem, other behavioural symptoms. This more complex behavioural picture induced us to prescribe both a psychiatric drug (Fluoxetine) and some behavioural modification

    An iterative construction of Gorenstein ideals

    We present a method to inductively construct Gorenstein ideals of any codimension c. We start from a Gorenstein ideal I of codimension c contained in a complete intersection ideal J of the same codimension, and we prove that under suitable hypotheses there exists a new Gorenstein ideal contained in the residual ideal I : J. We compare some numerical data of the starting and the resulting Gorenstein ideals of the construction. We compare also the Buchsbaum-Eisenbud matrices of the two ideals, in the codimension three case. Furthermore, we show that this construction is independent from the other known geometrical constructions of Gorenstein ideals, providing examples

    Smooth determinantal varieties and critical loci in multiview geometry

    No full text
    Linear projections from Pk to Ph appear in computer vision as models of images of dynamic or segmented scenes. Given multiple projections of the same scene, the identification of sufficiently many correspondences between the images allows, in principle, to reconstruct the position of the projected objects. A critical locus for the reconstruction problem is a variety in Pk containing the set of points for which the reconstruction fails. Critical loci turn out to be determinantal varieties. In this paper we determine and classify all the smooth critical loci, showing that they are classical projective varieties

    Linear projections from P^k to P^h model pinhole cameras in the context of Computer Vision or Multiview Geometry. It is well known that, given two sets of n projections P_1,...,P_n and Q_1,...,Q_n, there exist sets of points that have the same images when projected from the two different sets of projection. Such points fill the so–called critical locus for the reconstruction problem for the two sets of projections. In the present paper, we address the problem of describing the critical loci that arise when we keep fixed Q_1,...,Q_n and we allow P_1,...,P_n to vary. In particular, we construct a suitable space that parameterizes the projections P_1,...,P_n, provide an embedding of such space into a suitable Grassmann variety, and construct a map from that space to the Hilbert scheme of closed subschemes in P^k. The subscheme of the Grassmannian corresponding to projections for which the critical locus is the whole P^k is completely characterized, while the fibers of the map above are studied in the case of two projections

    On the description and identifiability analysis of experiments with mixtures

    No full text
    In a mixture experiment the collinearity problems, implied by the sum to one functional relationship among the factors, have strong consequences on the identification and analysis of regression models for such designs. Here to address these problems, mixture designs are represented as sets of homogeneous polynomials. Techniques from computational commutative algebra are employed to deduce generalized confounding relationships on power products, and to determine families of identifiable models
