Effect of the Game Design, the Goal Type and the Number of Players on Intensity of Play in Small-Sided Soccer Games in Youth Elite Players
2015
Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the effects of game design modification, the type of the goal and the number of players on the intensity of play in small-sided soccer games (SSGs) in youth elite players. Twenty young soccer players (age 13.7 ± 0.5 years, body mass 57.4 ± 7.8 kg, body height 1.67 ± 7.8 m, maximal heart rate 201.1 ± 8.2 beats/min) performed three types of SSGs (possession play (PP) vs. regular goals (RG) vs. small goals (SG)) in both four-a-side and six-a-side formats. The heart rate responses were recorded and analysed as an indicator of the intensity of play. The four-a-side format obtained higher intensity of play than six-a-side for PP (p<0.05), but not f…
A Design-Oriented Analysis of Multimodality in English as a Foreign Language
2018
This empirical article investigates multimodality in English as a foreign language, both as seen in the use of multimodal texts as artefacts and pedagogical texts for learning, and through an analysis of the multimodal learning designs. We present observations from a year 10 classroom in Norway that worked with the novel The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian (Alexie, 2007). We explore a four-week teaching sequence, asking how different modes were involved when the educator designed literacy events around the novel, and how multimodality is present in the students’ meaning making. Our aim is to make explicit and discuss some of the silent literacy practices in English teaching at l…
Session III - PARAMETRIC MODELLING AND VIDEO MAPPING_INTRODUCTION
2022
Virtual representation, free-form surface modelling techniques and numerical control manufacturing, with their intrinsic dynamic and interactive capabilities, have profoundly expanded and enriched the repertoire of geometric shapes, generating innovative design skills and creative languages. There is no doubt about the opportunities for exploration, contamination, relationships and overlapping of ideas, measurements and information, which the continuous evolution of expeditious, parametric and automatic procedures brings to the use of the many products of the information age. Adopting computation as a form of design is profoundly different from simply using tools geared toward increasing th…

Competenza digitale dei docenti e disabilità. Formazione su Episodi di Apprendimento Situato (EAS) per l'innovazione didattica.
2018
Il percorso di ricerca intrapreso mi ha permesso di strutturare una serie di riflessioni, già avviate all’interno di percorsi di studio universitari precedenti, relativamente all’evidente alta inclusività propria delle Tecnologie dell’informazione e della Comunicazione (TIC) a supporto di alunni con Bisogni Educativi Speciali (BES). A partire dall’assunto che l’innovazione digitale della didattica passi necessariamente dalla consapevole orchestrazione dei diversi strumenti tecnologici e che l’innovazione didattica preceda quella digitale, si è reputato doveroso indagare relativamente alle modalità di sviluppo e di miglioramento delle competenze digitali dei docenti, soprattutto, per quanti …
Fabrication of a Silicide Thermoelectric Module Employing Fractional Factorial Design Principles
2021
AbstractThermoelectric modules can be used in waste heat harvesting, sensing, and cooling applications. Here, we report on the fabrication and performance of a four-leg module based on abundant silicide materials. While previously optimized Mg2Si0.3Sn0.675Bi0.025 is used as the n-type leg, we employ a fractional factorial design based on the Taguchi methods mapping out a four-dimensional parameter space among Mnx-εMoεSi1.75−δGeδ higher manganese silicide compositions for the p-type material. The module is assembled using a scalable fabrication process, using a Cu metallization layer and a Pb-based soldering paste. The maximum power output density of 53 μW cm–2 is achieved at a hot-side temp…
Chemical Characteristics and Viability of Starter Cultures of Freeze–Dried Sweet Potato Extract–Supplemented Synbiotic Yogurt
2021
The research aimed to determine the sucrose concentration as a cryoprotectant to obtain the chemical properties and the viability of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) and Lactobasillus plantarum in the synbiotic yogurt. It adopted a one–factor Completely Randomized Design (CRD) by including sucrose in concentrations from 0 %, 2.5 %, 5 % to 7.5 %, three replications. The results showed various sucrose concentrations significantly affected the yields of the purple sweet potato extract– supplemented synbiotic yogurt, reduction–sugar level, the total of LAB, and the total of L. plantarum before and after the freeze–drying process, no significant impact on the moisture content and total quantity of LAB…
Design and simulation of efficient combinational circuits based on a new XOR structure in QCA technology
2021
AbstractQuantum-dot cellular automata (QCA), due to its unique characteristics like low power consumption, nanoscale design, and high computing speed is considered as an emerging technology, and it can be used as an alternative for CMOS technology in circuit design for quantum computers in the near future. XOR gate has many applications in the design of digital circuits in QCA. In this paper, an efficient novel structure of XOR gate is proposed in QCA. Also, a novel 1-bit comparator circuit, 1-bit full adder, binary to gray and gray to binary convertor code based on the proposed XOR is designed and simulated using QCADesigner 2.0.3. The simulation results demonstrated that the proposed stru…
