A New Approach to the Modeling of Anisotropic Media with the Transmission Line Matrix Method
2021
A reformulation of the Transmission Line Matrix (TLM) method is presented to model non-dispersive anisotropic media. Two TLM-based solutions to solve this problem can already be found in the literature, each one with an interesting feature. One can be considered a more conceptual approach, close to the TLM fundamentals, which identifies each TLM in Maxwell’s equations with a specific line. But this simplicity is achieved at the expense of an increase in the memory storage requirements of a general situation. The second existing solution is a more powerful and general formulation that avoids this increase in memory storage. However, it is based on signal processing techniques and considerabl…
Is There a Predisposition towards the Use of New Technologies within the Traffic Field of Emerging Countries? The Case of the Dominican Republic
2021
Technological devices are becoming more and more integrated in the management and control of traffic in big cities. The population perceives the benefits provided by these systems, and, therefore, citizens usually have a favorable opinion of them. However, emerging countries, which have fewer available infrastructures, could present a certain lack of trust. The objective of this work is to detect the level of knowledge and predisposition towards the use of new technologies in the transportation field of the Dominican Republic. For this study, the National Survey on Mobility was administered to a sample of Dominican citizens, proportional to the ONE census and to sex, age and province. The k…
Il Patrimonio della città sostenibile nel Mediterraneo. Progetti sostenibili per il centro storico di Tunisi
2013
Questo contributo si concentra sull’analisi di nuove strategie di rigenerazione urbana che hanno come obiettivo primario la valorizzazione del Patrimonio della città sostenibile nel Mediterraneo. La nostra ipotesi vuole dimostrare che il Patrimonio è diventato il vettore mobilizzatore del cambiamento delle città mediterranee, coinvolgendo mestieri, abitanti e fruitori. Verranno esaminati due progetti realizzati nella città di Tunisi dall’Association de Sauvegarde de la Médina (ASM): l’intervento di valorizzazione di un percorso urbano che collega gli spazi pubblici e il patrimonio architettonico della Medina (2008), dalla Mosquée Zitouna alla Zaouina di Sidi Ibrahim Riahi; il piano di rivit…
Enseñanza de las ciencias : revista de investigación y experiencias didácticas
2020
Nuestro objetivo en esta investigación es identificar las dificultades de aprendizaje que tienen los niños de 1.º a 3.º grado de educación primaria en la construcción de los números naturales. Tales dificultades no proceden de la enseñanza, sino de las propias matemáticas y para poder observar esas dificultades, es necesario reducir el problema a los elementos primitivos. Con los modelos teóricos locales como marco teórico y metodológico, se ha diseñado un modelo de enseñanza traduciendo el componente formal (modelo de J. Von Neumann) a una secuencia de actividades con el uso de material manipulativo. Se analiza la experiencia de enseñanza y en los resultados se destacan y explican las difi…
A Neural Multi-Agent Architecture for an Autonomous Mobile Robot Control
1999
The aim of this paper is to introduce a multi-agent architecture for an autonomous robot control oriented to obtain high design modularity and high parallelism of decision processes. A multi-agent approach allows us to design several specialized agents and each of them is optimized in order to solve a single part of the whole task. Each agent is able to cooperate with other agent exchanging information, so the robot is able to make the appropriate policy of management to reach a prefixed goal. We tested the proposed architecture with a simple application: an autonomous mobile robot performs object retrieval tasks into unknown structured environments. The robot is not given a priori map of t…
New Tents

L’antropologia ha avuto un notevole impatto sulla cultura moderna specialmente nel rimarcare come le diversità culturali esistenti siano poco adeguate alla universalizzazione proposta dalla tecnologia. Lo spazio e la città, naturalmente, non fanno eccezione. La revisione dell’approccio ortodosso del Movimento Moderno operata dal Team X era basata su questo cambiamento culturale, epitomizzato dalle scoperte di Levi Strauss, un riferimento primario per quegli architetti. Naturalmente il contesto culturale era molto più ampio, in quanto comprendeva, fra l’altro, la sociologia, l’arte e l’esistenzialismo. Citiamo semplicemente le fondamentali teorie di Paul Ricoeur sui rischi della universalizz…
Mainz Rolling Brains
2000
Our agent team is the result of a development which had to take place under tight time limitations. The total development time available was slightly less than three months where over most of the time the team developers could invest no more than a few hours per week. The code was developed from scratch to improve over the design and quality of last year’s code. Thus one of the challenges was to keep a smooth development line and to avoid dead ends in the development, as well as to maintain a development environment in which a larger number of developers could work productively.
TQM and Teamwork Effectiveness: The Intermediate Role of Organizational Design
2008
A quantitative study conducted in an engineering firm developing advanced total quality management practices examines how design variables help improve team effectiveness. Results show that this management philosophy has created a set of values that ha..
RIGENERAZIONE URBANA E PATRIMONIO IMMOBILIARE PUBBLICO
2021
Rehabilitation and/or redevelopment of the built heritage is a strategy for urban and territorial balance. The rehabilitation project is mainly addressed to the adaptation of new housing and urban needs, but it is obviously conditioned and/or "constrained" by the limitation of the building itself, in particular when its intrinsic characteristics must be preserved. The concept of "restriction" extends to its relationship with the site, the quality of its image, its living conditions. In this paper we focus on some aspects of the general framework of urban regeneration: the balance on the "urban question" and on the methodology of integrated planning; the connection between quality and urban …
PROGETTARE LA PARTECIPAZIONE. PRINCIPI E METODI FRA TRADIZIONE E CONTEMPORANEITÀ
2021
The theme of participation is urgent and timely, also in view of the inclusive forms of decisionmaking introduced years ago by ministerial and European norms. The research is therefore part of a well-structured cultural and regulatory context characterised by new and interesting experiments. Participation in the field of the disciplines of architecture and technological culture should be studied in its processual forms and directed above all towards strategies of recovery of the existing where the presence of urban and environmental conflicts requires new processes of requalification and/or reintegration. As widely testified by the production of manuals in recent years, carrying out partici…
