p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”Computer science is a subject in continuous evolution which determines increasingly quick and close technological revolutions:
to follow these evolutions is difficult. The matching with the numerous specific professional activities requires continuous
updating, also because what is innovative today can become obsolete tomorrow.

Quantitative Assessment of Robot-Generated Maps
September 19, 2009 | Comments Off
p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”Mobile robotic mapping is now considered to be a sufficiently mature field with demonstrated successes in various domains.
While much progress has been made in the development of computationally efficient and consistent mapping schemes, it is still
murky, at best, on how these maps can be evaluated. We are motivated by the absence of an accepted standard for quantitatively
measuring the performance of robotic mapping systems against user-defined requirements. It is our belief that the development
of standardized methods for quantitatively evaluating existing robotic technologies will improve the utility of mobile robots
in already established application areas, such as vacuum cleaning, robot surveillance, and bomb disposal. This approach will
also enable the proliferation and acceptance of such technologies in emerging markets. This chapter summarizes our preliminary
efforts by bringing together the research community towards addressing this important problem which has ramifications not
only from researchers’ perspective but also from consumers’, robot manufacturers’, and developers’ viewpoints.

Quantities of Spectroscopy
September 19, 2009 | Comments Off
p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”The total energy emitted by a plasma as electromagnetic radiation per unit time is called its iradiative loss/i and plays a crucial role in all power balance considerations. As a physical quantity it is a iradiant flux/i Ф (through the surface of the plasma), and its unit is watt (W). It is also called iradiant power/i. iRadiant flux density φ/i refers to the flux per unit area φ = dΦ/diA/i with the unit Wmsup−2/sup, irrespective of whether the radiation is emitted from an area, crosses an imaginary surface in space, or falls onto an area
iA/i. In this latter case, it is customary to call this flux density at the surface iirradiance E/i. The energy deposited per unit area during a given time is the ifluence H/i = ∫ iE/idit/i, with the unit Jmsup−2/sup.

Lower Stratospheric Temperatures from CHAMP RO Compared to MSU/AMSU Records: An Analysis of Error Sources
September 19, 2009 | Comments Off
p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”A comparison of lower stratospheric temperatures (TLS) from (Advanced) Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU/AMSU) records with CHAMP
radio occultation (RO) data was performed for September 2001–December 2006. Synthetic TLS temperatures were calculated by
applying global weighting functions to monthly RO temperature climatologies and alternatively by applying the RTTOV_8.5 radiative
transfer model to the individual CHAMP RO profile data set. The results published by Steiner et al. (2007) showed very good
agreement of CHAMP TLS anomalies with MSU records from the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH, USA) and from Remote
Sensing Systems (RSS, USA) for intra-annual variability. Statistically significant trend differences of UAH and RSS with respect
to CHAMP TLS anomalies were found in the tropics (–0.40nbsp;K/5 years to –0.42nbsp;K/5 years). In this context error sources regarding
the retrieval of RO data, the building of climatologies, and the related synthetic MSU computation procedure were analyzed
and found to be of minor importance. In the NH extratropics the TLS specific sampling error showed a significant negative
trend which is projected globally but tropical trends are small. In total, the contribution of errors from RO was found to
be about an order of magnitude smaller than the trend differences and thus insufficient to account for them, especially in
the tropical region. Their resolution, currently pursued in a further study, requires either the presence of currently unresolved
biases in the MSU records or additional, so far overlooked, sources of error in the RO TLS record. SAC-C, GRACE, and COSMIC
TLS temperatures were found to closely match CHAMP temperatures. The results underpin that inter-comparison of independent
estimates of the same variable from different instruments is beneficial for the detection of residual weaknesses in otherwise
high quality climate records.

Managing Content with Plone
September 18, 2009 | Comments Off
p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”One of Plone’s greatest advantages is that it has a very intuitive interface and easy-to-use tools; you can add and edit content
with it even if you don’t have any specific technical background. Let’s prove this together, starting with what we first see
when we are in front of Plone and the elements of the main interface, and continuing with how easy it is to create and organize
content with Plone.

Integrating Plone with Other Systems
September 18, 2009 | Comments Off
p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”Plone’s nature is well-connected with the goal of managing web content through the Web and using proprietary (albeit open
source) tools, such as the Python coding language and the ZODB object database. But Plone is more than this as well. If you
investigate a bit, you’ll discover that Python is an easy-to-learn, powerful tool with a complete set of extensions, enriching
you with loads of extra possibilities. And Plone iis/i Python. As well, Plone iis/i Zope. And this opens to many other possibilities.

Medienentwicklung der letzten 25 Jahre
September 17, 2009 | Comments Off
p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”In ihren Grundzügen ist die Medienlandschaft im Entwicklungszeitraum der 1980er Jahre bis heute immer noch vor dem Hintergrund
der Medienpolitik der frühen Nachkriegsjahre zu verstehen. Diese war geprägt vom Bemühen um Staatsunabhängigkeit auf der einen
Seite und restaurativen Tendenzen der frühen fünfziger Jahre auf der anderen Seite. Das bezieht sich auf die Kontrollfunktion
der Landesmedienanstalten, die großen öffentlich-rechtlichen Sender mit ihren jeweiligen Aufträgen sowie die Konzentrationskontrollen
im Pressemarkt und führt weiter über Entscheide des Kartellamts bei der Vergabe von Ausstrahlungsrechten zur Fußballbundesliga
bis zu den immer noch bestehenden Gebietsrechten der Presse-Grossisten. Auch der Streit von 2008, wie sehr die öffentlichrechtlichen
Medien im Internet präsent sein dürfen, ist den klassischen institutionellen Arrangements geschuldet. Und schließlich sind
Wortkonstruktionen wie „Rundfunkänderungsstaatsvertrag“ nur vor dem Hintergrund starken politischen Einflusses oder dessen
Verhinderung, jedenfalls vor dem Hintergrund eines starken Ringens divergierender Interessen zu verstehen.
