La Saveur des Alpes : Les Britanniques d’hier et d’aujourd’hui en Haute-Savoie by Christine Geoffroy

“…The Golden Age of mountaineering in the Alps is most often remembered in terms of conquest and physical exploit, and associated with the somewhat arrogant appropriation of the alpine mountain range as a would-be favourite British "playground".This paper proposes a reading of the writings of two British alpinists of the time, Leslie Stephen and Alfred Wills, showing that the motive for their presence in the mountain was not only a sportive one but derived from a special link that they had formed with the alpine scenery. …”

Beyond Crisis Talk: Making Time for Re-Searching New Narratives of Human Relations With Soil by Rita Giuffredi, Christian Colella, Laura Colucci-Gray, Andrea Caretto, Raffaella Spagna, Alba L'Astorina

“…Findings point to the need to address the fundamental questions that such an approach poses for all research communities. Bringing sedimented attitudes, perceptions, and ways approaching research to the surface, our experiences cast light on the importance of methodological choices for thinking differently about soil and about slowing down the narratives of research: not as a tool or resource, but as a shared process of crafting mutual relations amongst all kinds of practitioners, including more than humans.…”

Inclined Aerial Image and Satellite Image Matching Based on Edge Curve Direction Angle Features by Hao Wang, Chongyang Liu, Yalin Ding, Chao Sun, Guoqin Yuan, Hongwen Zhang

“…Optical remote sensing images are easily affected by atmospheric absorption and scattering, and the low contrast and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of aerial images as well as the different sensors of aerial and satellite images bring a great challenge to image matching. A tilted aerial image and satellite image matching algorithm based on edge curve direction angle features (ECDAF) is proposed, which accomplishes image matching by extracting the edge features of the images and establishing the curve direction angle feature descriptors. …”
