Ulysses, Dante, and Other Stories

Ulysses, Dante, and Other Stories presents a unique form of creative scholarship. It employs Dante’s late medieval take on Ulysses and his tragic pursuit of ‘virtue and knowledge’ as a prism that refracts an ancient myth of journey and return into a modern story of discovery and nostalgia. Working notes, fragments from Ulysses’ many stories, personal memories, illuminations, and rewritings combine to form a new chain of narratives about the desire to create, the art of travelling, and the will of self-reinvention.List of FiguresIncipit | 1-121.

Automatic Abdominal Organ Segmentation from CT images

In the recent years a great deal of research work has been devoted to the development of semi-automatic and automatic techniques for the analysis of abdominal CT images. Some of the current interests are the automatic diagnosis of liver, spleen, and kidney pathologies and the 3D volume rendering of the abdominal organs. The first and fundamental step in all these studies is the automatic organs segmentation, that is still an open problem. In this paper we propose our fully automatic system that employs a hierarchical gray level based framework to segment heart, bones (i.e. ribs and spine), liver and its blood vessels, kidneys, and spleen. The overall system has been evaluated on the data of 100 patients, obtaining a good assessment both by visual inspection by three experts, and by comparing the computed results to the boundaries manually traced by experts

Latin and Greek in Computing: Ancient Words in a New World

In computing, old words are reused by giving them new meanings. However, many people may not be aware of the origin of ancient words that have found new uses in computing. We advocate for basic computing science and engineering courses to cover the origins of the most common ancient words used in computing.We thank Mariano Arnal for his comments and suggestions on words and their origins. This work was supported in part by the ACHILLES project PID2019-104207RB-I00 funded by the Spanish Agencia Estatal de Investigación 10.13039/501100011033. (We can see that Greek mythology also influences researchers when naming their projects. In our case, we took the name from the famous character in Homers' Iliad.
