Cet article propose une nouvelle édition des extraits du psautier de la LXX contenus dans le Codex Climaci Rescriptus, un palimpseste du Sinaï important, bien que quelque peu négligé. L'édition est basée sur les images multispectrales post-traitées, produites par la Early Manuscripts Electronic Library (EMEL) en coopération avec le Lazarus Project. La nouvelle technologie a permis de corriger diverses erreurs dans l' editio princeps et de découvrir des éléments textuels et paratextuels jusqu'alors invisibles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

How do we view on archival records? Traditionally, we consult archival materials in reading rooms. This traditional setting has changed fundamentally since archival documents are also displayed on screens. Although there are many similarities between paper and the screen, there is one crucial difference when it comes to digital images of archival documents: digital images are nothing more than computer graphics. This opens up a fascinating world with countless possibilities for image manipulation. In this paper, we will look at some of the disruptive consequences of this technological paradigm shift. To this end, we present various digitization techniques used at the State Archives of North Rhine-Westphalia on an archival collection consisting of early modern records that were severely damaged during World War II (Landesarchiv NRW, Abteilung Rheinland, RW 1001 Reichsstadt Aachen, Akten Nr. 55a 77b). Many of these documents have washed-out texts due to water exposure. By using advanced digitization technologies such as multispectral imaging, we are attempting to restore digitally the writing and make the invisible text visible again. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The PlaCE project aims at investigating technologies and solutions for the ecosustainable reuse of offshore platforms at the end of their production phase. In this context, robotic mobile solutions that allow in a versatile way to monitor the activities by acquiring environmental data and parameters in the entire area of interest have been explored. This paper presents a solution achieved through the development of the proof-of-concept of a robotic technology concerning a hybrid Autonomous / Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (A/RPAS), hereinafter referred to as Amphibious Drone, operating in complete autonomy and having the platform as an operational base. The Amphibious Drone is developed to cover the entire area of interest surrounding the platform being converted, with the ability to carry the measuring instruments and probes in aerial overflight for monitoring the sea surface and the surface structures as well as ditching to deploy a sensors-equipped probe for measuring underwater parameters along the water column. A wide range of probes and instruments have been integrated into the system such as multispectral camera, Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) probes, Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) probes, etc. for the analysis of oceanographic and biological parameters of the marine ecosystem. The management of the Amphibious Drone, as regards the shelter between missions, battery recharging, data exchange, required reconfigurations and missions scheduling is carried out from a specially designed Docking Station. The PlaCE project is co-funded by the European Union within the projects "PON Ricerca e Innovazione 2014-2020". [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This documentation is dedicated to the history of the finding and deciphering of the handwritten account of Marcel Nadjari (1917-1971), a Greek Jew who was a member of the Sonderkommando in Auschwitz-Birkenau, which had to work in the gas chambers and crematoria. It covers one of a total of nine analogous accounts which were composed by five members of the Sonderkommando as a secret message from the centre of extermination and hidden there for posterity. For 35 years, Nadjari's manuscript remained buried in a thermos flask in the ground and was only discovered in 1980. Its condition was so bad, that only approximately ten percent of the text were legible. The Russian computer specialist Aleksandr Nikityaev however has been able to make almost 90 percent of the text legible through the use of multispectral images, permitting a whole new form of access to the text, which is published here in this form for the first time.

The performance of white light (WL) cystoscopy in the diagnostics of bladder cancer can be optimized by the use of modern imaging modalities, such as photodynamic diagnostics (PDD) and narrow band imaging (NBI). Real-time multispectral imaging (rMSI) enables simultaneous imaging of reflectance and fluorescence modalities in multiple spectral bands. We created a multiparametric cystoscopy image by digital overlapping of several modalities, e.g. WL, enhanced vascular contrast (EVC), raw fluorescence mode, protoporphyrin IX and autofluorescence (AF). The technical development and the subsequent clinical implementation of rMSI required a structured preclinical evaluation process, including both ex vivo and in vivo trials before the technology can be applied in patients. This review article presents the phases of testing, validation and the first clinical application of rMSI in urological endoscopy.
