ANALYSIS OF THE SEXUAL VARIABILITY IN THE SHELL OF THE SPANISH UPPER CRETACEOUS TURTLE DORTOKA VASCONICA (PAN-PLEURODIRA, DORTOKIDAE)
2021
The present study characterizes the morphological variability related to the sexual dimorphism in the shells of the Spanish Upper Cretaceous turtle Dortoka vasconica . This study is based on the material from its type locality: Lano, Burgos. Two morphotypes were identified there based on the posterior plastral area as well as two for the anterior plastral lobe. However, a correlation with the previously indicated morphotypes could not be established due to the disarticulation of the specimens and the limited information available on the sexual dimorphism of Pleurodira. The morphological variability previously identified for Dortoka vasconica is analysed here through a quantitative approa…
Use of Reinforcement Learning in Two Real Applications
2008
In this paper, we present two sucessful applications of Reinforcement Learning (RL) in real life. First, the optimization of anemia management in patients undergoing Chronic Renal Failure is presented. The aim is to individualize the treatment (Erythropoietin dosages) in order to stabilize patients within a targeted range of Hemoglobin (Hb). Results show that the use of RL increases the ratio of patients within the desired range of Hb. Thus, patients' quality of life is increased, and additionally, Health Care System reduces its expenses in anemia management. Second, RL is applied to modify a marketing campaign in order to maximize long-term profits. RL obtains an individualized policy depe…
WiseEye: A Platform to Manage and Experiment on Smart Camera Networks
2016
International audience; Embedded vision is probably at the edge of phenomenal expansion. The smart cameras are embedding some processing units which are more and more powerful. Last decade, high-speed image processing can be implemented on specifically designed architectures [1] nevertheless the designing time of such systems was quite high and time to market therefore as well. Since, powerful chips (i.e System On Chip) and quick prototyping methodologies are contently emerging [2],[3],[4] and enable more complex algorithms to be implemented faster. Moreover, smart cameras which are embedding flexible and powerful multi-core processors or Graphic Processors Unit (GPU) are now available and …
Health and Living Conditions of Refugees and Asylum-seekers: A Survey of Informal Settlements in Italy
2018
Newspapers and humanitarian organisations have long shown that many asylumseekers and other beneficiaries of international protection are forced to live for months or even years in precarious settlements that have sprung up spontaneously throughout Italy. However, there are no official statistics on how many asylum-seekers and refugees in Italy live this way. Our survey, carried out in 2015, is the first national survey of foreign nationals living in these makeshift camps. It aims to build a complete list of informal settlements in Italy and provide an estimate of the population size, characteristics, and living conditions of these settlements, with a focus on health conditions. The conditi…
Il sistema sanitario siciliano: i tratti del cambiamento in atto
2011
Il saggio analizza la struttura, l'evoluzione e le performance del sistema sanitario regionale prestando particolare attenzione al doppio livello, quello della politica regionale e quello delle aziende provinciali. Il saggio analizza le dimensioni che hanno reso possibile le riforme del sistema sanitario e ne evidenzia le zone d'ombra.
3D Reconstruction of Dynamic Vehicles using Sparse 3D-Laser-Scanner and 2D Image Fusion
2016
International audience; Map building becomes one of the most interesting research topic in computer vision field nowadays. To acquire accurate large 3D scene reconstructions, 3D laser scanners are recently developed and widely used. They produce accurate but sparse 3D point clouds of the environments. However, 3D reconstruction of rigidly moving objects along side with the large-scale 3D scene reconstruction is still lack of interest in many researches. To achieve a detailed object-level 3D reconstruction, a single scan of point cloud is insufficient due to their sparsity. For example, traditional Iterative Closest Point (ICP) registration technique or its variances are not accurate and rob…
Brewer's spent grains as biofuels in combustion-based energy recovery processes: Evaluation of thermo-oxidative decomposition
2022
[EN] The high global generation of wastes and side streams from agri-food production has led to environmental impact and causes nature degradation due to their uncontrolled management. These wastes are profitable materials with significant economic value that could otherwise be exploited as new sources in the feed industry or the production of bioenergy. Among them, brewer¿s spent grain (BSG) is a solid by-product generated in the beerbrewing process that consists of the barley grain husks together with parts of the pericarp and seed coat layer. Although it is rich in fibres and proteins, its main use is currently limited to animal feed or simply deposition to landfills. This study pursues …

Risponde ex art. 2048 c.c. il circolo tennis che organizzi attività ginnica su un campo di beach volley ove s’infortuni una minore in allenamento sotto la supervisione di un istruttore dipendente del circolo, posto che, in caso di danni cagionati nei confronti di soggetti incapaci (ivi compresi i minori), la ratio della disposizione di cui all'art. 2048 c.c. deve essere ricercata nell'inadempimento di un obbligo di vigilanza assunto dal responsabile in relazione a particolari categorie di soggetti, che per presunzione di legge, non sono totalmente capaci di rapportarsi correttamente con la realtà esterna; e che in tale ipotesi l'obbligo di vigilanza si deve conformare all'età dei soggetti a…
Reti mafiose. Cosa nostra e camorra: organizzazioni criminali a confronto
2011
Nella vastissima produzione editoriale sul fenomeno mafioso i gruppi criminali sono stati spesso rappresentati come organizzazioni verticistiche, fortemente centralizzate e gerarchizzate. Si è fatto spesso ricorso alla metafora della piramide, della burocrazia o dell'azienda, evidenziando, in tal modo, la presenza di una netta articolazione interna e di una precisa suddivisione dei ruoli e delle funzioni tra i singoli associati. Pur riconoscendo l'efficacia e la persistente attualità di una simile rappresentazione, questo volume guarda alle organizzazioni criminali da un punto di vista differente, adoperando una prospettiva di analisi di tipo relazionale. Le singole cosche possono essere, i…
