REMOTELY PILOTED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS (RPAS) APPLICATION FOR STRUCTURE DESCRIPTION OF MEDITERRANEAN VERMETID REEFS
2016
Vermetid gastropods are coastal habitat engineers which build biogenic platforms typical of intertidal rocky shores of central and south -east of the Mediterranean. These bioconstructions create a secondary habitat which increases resource availability and space for organisms, locally transforming the environment and modifying coastal geomorphology. Biological characteristics and physical structure of these bioconstructions are commonly studied by field-based sampling. Nevertheless, a lot of time is required to collect data over large areas of reef, field conditions can impair data collection and direct reef image interpretation may be a challenge due to their intertidal position. In this s…
Introducing usability heuristics for mobile map applications
2013
In this paper, a set of heuristics for evaluating the usability of mobile map applications is introduced. We developed the heuristics by exploring the present generic heuristics and then forming new theory-based heuristics. Usability specialists tested the heuristics by evaluating the usability of a mobile map application with both generic and domain-specific heuristics. As a result, more usability problems were found with the proposed domain-specific heuristics. In addition, based on the evaluators’ views the initial domain-specific heuristics were further developed. We conclude by proposing domain-specific usability heuristics for evaluating the mobile map applications. peerReviewed
L’impiego di strumenti acustici ad alta risoluzione nella valutazione, monitoraggio e gestione delle praterie di Posidonia oceanica.
2015
High-resolution sonar system (MBS, SSS, Sub Bottom Profiler) was used to map and characterize Posidonia oceanica meadows, dead matte formations and to long-term monitor its progressive lower limit. Hydro-acoustic techniques allows to quickly acquire, at sufficiently low cost, a synoptic coverage of a large area and a high number of data by mean of non-destructive methods. Hence, they are recommended as useful tools for detecting and characterizing submerged aquatic vegetation.
Vineyard soil mapping from very high spatial resolution images in hillslope context: a contribution of terroir knowledge.
2014
The Burgundian vineyard hillslopes (Côte-d’Or, France) exhibit a high diversity of soils resulting from the combination of several natural and anthropogenic factors acting at various spatio-temporal scales. The soil types have major role in viticulture, since they partly determine wine-growing quality. However, soil undergoes important degradation caused by hydric erosion and vineyard management practices. To control this soil heritage for a sustained viticulture in Côte-d’Or, a better knowledge of soil is necessary. The objectives of this work is to characterise vineyard soils and to identify the factors governing their diversity using an interdisciplinary approach crossing geology, geomor…
A Model for Implementing HR'S Strategic Role
2013
Understanding HR deliverables is an essential process for acknowledging its important role in driving organizational performance, in contrast with its traditionally elusive role. An organization can quantify the HR’s overall strategic impact by finding the proper ways for measuring its impact on the success drivers. This paper aims to identify and describe the steps needed in order to implement HR’s strategic role. The article reviews the relevant literature regarding the integration of HR into business performance measurement and suggests some guidelines for creating a HR scorecard.

Figure del contagio. Dalle topografie mediche al contact tracing: trasformazioni nell’architettura e nel paesaggio urbano
2021
Ita_Il tracciamento del contagio, fra le più efficaci forme globali di difesa dal coronavirus, viene ripercorso mettendo in luce il rapporto fra pensiero architettonico e spazio delle epidemie negli ultimi due secoli. La relazione fra la diffusione delle malattie e le forme del costruito è stata infatti compresa nella seconda metà dell’Ottocento attraverso le mappature tematiche, secondo metodi ancora oggi in evoluzione. A partire dalle topografie mediche comparse per la prima volta in Francia nel XIX secolo, interpolate con le intuizioni di J. Snow sulla base delle mappe da lui elaborate nello stesso periodo in Inghilterra, si evidenziano i modi di formazione di un regime di sapere teso fr…
Cross-domain mapping processes in the perception of post tonal music
2009
Theories of embodied cognition state that knowledge is built by means of cross-domain mapping processes between different domains of experience. Recent research informs about the presence of mapping processes in the reception of both tonal and atonal music. A previous experiment suggested the occurrence of mappings between visual attributes and interpretative features in atonal music. However, these results were obtained with musicians; therefore, it is unknown to what extent they are equally valid to non-musicians. This study aims at examining the incidence of interpretative expression within the visual-musical mapping process. Three versions (two expressive and one deadpan) of an atonal m…
Processi innovativi di costruzione dell’immagine territoriale: ruolo culturale e contributo alla pianificazione
2013
La diffusione sempre più ampia di sistemi di georeferenziazione e di mappe informatiche interattive user friendly, facili da usare ed accessibili ad una larga fascia di utenti non specializzati, genera una questione fondamentale riguardo il processo di costruzione dell’immagine collettiva dello spazio urbano. Le trasformazioni culturali in tal senso condizionano inevitabilmente i processi di partecipazione: infatti l’approccio wiki, nel quale i fruitori di informazione sono anche produttori di essa, modifica del tutto ruoli e dinamiche. La ricerca, da cui questo articolo è tratto, intende quindi valutare se e come la dimensione virtuale e non tecnica delle nuove mappe costruite dagli utenti…
