A multilight approach for documenting and modeling the appearance of large cultural heritage objects
2022
In recent years, Computer Vision has played a major role in the investigation of sur-face appearance, particularly with the introduction of image-based rendering algorithms. Reflectance transformation Imaging (RTI) is one of these approaches. The RTI is a multi-light imaging technique that involves taking a series of images of an item using a stationary camera, while the location of the incident light varies in each photograph. Thanks to the information gathered from this type of acquisition, which is also defined as a Multi-light Image Collection (MLIC), it is possible to model the angular reflectance of a surface. The RTI is frequently employed in the documentation and study of architectu…
Identification of an LPS-Induced Chemo-Attractive Peptide from Ciona robusta
2020
Background: Previously published work has demonstrated that the LPS injection of Ciona robusta leads to the overexpression of a truncated form of an immune-related mRNA (C8short) by means of Ciona robusta (CR) alternative polyadenylation (APA) (CR-APA). Methods: The 3D structure of the C8short-derived Ciona robusta chemo-attractive peptide (CrCP) was evaluated by homology modeling. The biological activity of the CrCP was studied in vitro using a primary human dermal cell line (HuDe). Real-Time PCR was used to investigate the expression levels of genes involved in cell motility.

El método mejorado del tocón (ISUM) permite evaluar procesos de erosión del suelo en plantas injertadas utilizando medidas topográficas in situ
2021
[EN] Policymakers, stakeholders and rural inhabitants must be aware of the relevance of soil erosion as an irreversible landdegradation process. This is key to achieve the land degradation neutrality challenge and the sustainability of humankindand natural ecosystems. Agricultural areas are being affected by soil erosion threatening soil quality and, subsequently,food security. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new techniques and methods visually friendly and easy to be accessedto survey and assess the soil erosion concerns. ISUM (Improve Stock Unearthing Method) is a well-contrasted procedureto estimate and map soil mobilisation and erosion rates. To achieve this goal, using the plant …
Una raccolta di modelli tra tardo barocco e neoclassicismo
2010
Il saggio si inserisce nel quadro di un progetto di rilevante interesse nazionale (PRIN 2008) dedicato alla biblioteca dell’architetto in Italia e analizza dettagliatamente i contenuti grafici e iconografici (individuando provenienza e datazione di ciascuna immagine) di un album di modelli messo a punto da un ignoto architetto operante in Sicilia alla fine del Settecento e oggi custodito nei Fondi Antichi della Biblioteca Comunale di Nicosia (Enna). Si tratta di una rara testimonianza di un tale strumento operativo il cui interesse valica i confini del caso specifico, fornendo un riscontro materiale a ipotesi su modalità operative e a laconiche indicazioni di analoghe raccolte citate in doc…
Econophysics: Scaling and its breakdown in finance
1997
We discuss recent empirical results obtained by analyzing high-frequency data of a stock market index, the Standard and Poor’s 500. We focus on the scaling properties and on its breakdown of the index dynamics. A simple stochastic model, the truncated Levy flight, is illustrated. Successes and limitations of this model are presented. A discussion about similarities and differences between the scaling properties observed in financial markets and in fully developed turbulence is also provided.
Characterization of inductors in partial saturation including thermal effects for DC/DC converters
2018
Modern switching power electronic converters are widely used in many industrial and consumer applications, especially in step-up and step-down configurations. The optimization of the inductor in the converter design gives advantages in terms of power density increase and cost reduction; therefore, to properly design the converters, it is necessary to improve the knowledge of magnetic material behaviour as the current changes. The development of new models is becoming crucial in the design of modern power converters and there are some recent papers dealing with the use of inductors working in partial saturation [1-5]. This issue is of great interest for scientists and industry due to economi…
Reti: CIB W78: 32nd international conference in “Information Technology for Construction”, Eindhoven, Netherlands, October 2015
2016
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an emerging methodology in the building industry, since the intelligent digital three-dimensional model-based process of BIM can be used to plan, design, structure, manage, and analysis buildings. The aim of this report paper is to provide information about the latest related topic in BIM field connecting to CIB W78 conferenece.
Macroeconomic Modelling in EMU: How Relevant is the Change in Regime?
2007
We analyse the likely effects of changes in the monetary and financial regimes of EMU countries on the dynamics of output and inflation. In particular, we evaluate the impact of the regime shift on the forecasting performance of reduced-form models. Data for both the pre-EMU and the EMU regimes are generated by a relatively standard open-economy-DSGE model with sticky prices and wages and restricted access to financial markets for some individuals. We find that the effects of the shift in the monetary regime on the processes followed by macroeconomic variables depend on the nature of the shocks hitting the economy. For plausible shocks distributions the reduction in the accuracy of VAR-base…
Global sensitivity analysis for urban water quality modelling: comparison of different methods
2012
Sensitivity analysis represents an important step in improving the understanding and use of environmental models. Indeed, by means of global sensitivity analysis (GSA), modellers may identify both important (factor prioritization) and non-influential (factor fixing) model input factors. However, despite the potentialities of GSA methods, only few applications have been published in the field of urban drainage modelling. In order to fill this gap this paper presents a comparison among three GSA methods (SRC, Extended-FAST and Morris screening) on an urban drainage storm-water model. In particular, an exhaustive discussion on their peculiarities, applicability, and reliability is presented. S…
Enterprise content management: An integrated perspective on information management
2005
Konferansebidrag fra 38th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2005. HICSS 2005 Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is an emerging concept involving numerous software vendors, consultants, and information management practitioners around increasing market potential. However, there exist yet few academic reports on ECM from the viewpoint of organizational system implementations. This article analyses 58, mainly practitioner-oriented, case narratives of ECM projects and implementations to identify a framework of major issues that require managerial attention in organizations. The main areas covered by the framework are: objectives/impacts sought with ECM, enterprise model…
