his paper reflects on Brazilian scientific production associated with Space Syntax (SS), also known as the Theory of the Social Logic of Space (TSLS). The objective is to identify the intentions and priority of research topics, as well as the leading universities and research networks in the field, allowing for an understanding of trends and future scenarios for this approach. To t...
Há falta de clareza, no campo da Morfologia Urbana, quanto ao uso dos termos “lote” (plot) e “lot”. As dificuldades decorrem, em grande medida, do fato desses termos serem utilizados para designar diferentes conceitos. Outras ambiguidades surgem porque o conceito de propriedade não é unívoco e porque os limites correspondentes aos diferentes significados de lote nem sempre coincidem. Um problema adicional é que...
Samambaia, Administrative Region XII (RA XII), exhibits morphological and land-use patterns similar to those observed in other Administrative Regions of the Federal District, which also underwent rapid densification associated with the relocation of settlements to the periphery of Brasília’s Plano Piloto (Pilot Plan). Space Syntax (SS), a framework proposed by Hillier and Hanson (1984), translates urban space i...
The performance of 94 elderly subjects (73 women) (71.72 ± 5.64) in an eye–hand and eye–foot coordination test (TST) was correlated with fear of falling, based on the results obtained on the International Fall Efficacy Scale (FES-I), translated into Portuguese. The results revealed that, for the whole sample, there was a weak inverse association between the two (ρ = −0.54, p < 0.05). However, when analyzing the...
Point clouds are an emerging 3D visual representation model for immersive and interactive multimedia applications, inparticular for virtual and augmented reality. The huge amount of data associated to point clouds critically asks for efficient point cloud coding technology. While there are already some point cloud coding paradigms in the literature, notably octree, patch and graph-based for geometry data, very ...
With the evolution of 3D technology, 3D IPTV services may prove to be a common service widely distributed by operators. So it is important that they have the necessary means to easily and inexpensively monitor the Quality of Experience (QoE) of this new service. Deployment of 3D video QoE monitors anywhere in the network will enable operators to adapt their service and network infrastructure in order to guarant...
Holothuria arguinensis, Holothuria mammata and Holothuria forskali are three common sea cucumber species found in the NE Atlantic, traded in international markets and susceptible to capture. Allometric relationships reveal if the scaling relationships between biometric characters are proportional with growth, being a useful tool to understand species growth strategies. Allometric relationships of the three spec...
