Automatic Sleep Stage Identification with Time Distributed Convolutional Neural Network

2021

Polysomnography (PSG), the gold standard for sleep stage classification, requires a sleep expert for scoring and is both resource-intensive and expensive. Many researchers currently focus on the real-time classification of the sleep stages based on biomedical signals, such as Electroencephalograph (EEG) and electrooculography (EOG). However, most of the research work is based on machine learning models with multiple signal inputs or hand-engineered features requiring prior knowledge of the sleep domain. We propose a novel encoded Time-Distributed Convolutional Neural Network (TDConvNet) to automatically classify sleep stages based on a single raw PSG signal. The TDConvNet can infer sleep st…

THE DEVELOPMENT AND FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY OF A TOURIST NETWORK FOR A COASTAL REGION

2016

This study springs from a reflection on the concept of the Slow Network as a tool to strengthen the connection between a territory and its inhabitants, through the rediscovery of the agro-environmental, landscape, historical, artistic, and cultural value of each territory. Creating a slow network means utilising slow mean of mobility thus creating a "greenway" to give life to an ecomuseum and to cultural tourism in an eco-sustainable manner. The resources of an area are enhanced by creating a synergy between them, the tourism industry, and the local economy, which is dedicated to the promotion of an integrated tourism that involves rural areas, natural areas, eno gastronomic tours, and them…

Hydropower Potential in Water Distribution Networks: Pressure Control by PATs

2014

Pressure control is one of the main techniques to control leakages in Water Distribution Networks (WDNs) and to prevent pipe damage, improving the delivery standards of a water supply systems. Pressure reducing stations (PRSs) equipped by either pressure reducing valves or motor driven regulating valves are commonly used to dissipate excess hydraulic head in WDNs. An integrated new technical solution with economic and system flexibility benefits is presented which replaces PRSs with pumps used as turbines (PATs). Optimal PAT performance is obtained by a Variable Operating Strategy (VOS), recently developed for the design of small hydropower plants on the basis of valve time operation, and n…

Radiation Hardness Assurance Through System-Level Testing: Risk Acceptance, Facility Requirements, Test Methodology, and Data Exploitation

2021

International audience; Functional verification schemes at a level different from component-level testing are emerging as a cost-effective tool for those space systems for which the risk associated with a lower level of assurance can be accepted. Despite the promising potential, system-level radiation testing can be applied to the functional verification of systems under restricted intrinsic boundaries. Most of them are related to the use of hadrons as opposed to heavy ions. Hadrons are preferred for the irradiation of any bulky system, in general, because of their deeper penetration capabilities. General guidelines about the test preparation and procedure for a high-level radiation test ar…

The challenge of a place-based and network approach to the development in the territories

2016

This paper investigates the role of research networks inside local development processes to increase the competitiveness of underdeveloped territories. This paper, within the scope of local development theory, aims to describe the state of the art on the regional research systems resulting largely from programs co-financed between 2000 and 2013, with which the various regions are preparing to engage in programming for the period 2014-2020. The extent of consistency between the objectives of sectorial specialization set by policies previously or currently implemented and those in the planning phase (S3) is assessed, as is their connection with existing territorial specializations at a region…

LA COMPLESSA STRADA VERSO L’INNOVAZIONE NEI TERRITORI

2015

This paper provides a framework on regional research systems, through which, different regions are preparing to engage in program- ming period 2014 – 2020. It will also cover the regions’ investments in the co-financed programs between 2000 and 2013. Particular attention is dedicated to those projects that, in the specific objectives or specific actions have referred to high-tech districts, techno- logical platforms, clusters, innovation centers, science or technology parks and networks. It then carries out two verifications: firstly, of the degree of consistency between policies and implementation and ongoing design (S3) and secondly of their connection with the existing territorial specia…

Centri storici e Smart Town: mobilità sostenibile e infrastrutture virtuali

2013

Conservation and Development implementation are an essential combination when working in marginal and usually non-coastal areas, which identify the Southern Italy land. Starting from the extreme marginalization and the neglect conditions, reinterpreting them as an opportunity to re-foundation, can be a smart strategy. Mobility, marginal infrastructure and the extreme weakness which interest lots of users who characterize the population (mostly the elderly and the children) might represent a high significance criticality. Two linked focuses, one about sustainable mobility and the other one about the virtual cities network and public utilities, more specifically about health care public utili…

Quantifying residential PV feed-in power in low voltage grids based on satellite-derived irradiance data with application to power flow calculations

2016

AbstractA scheme using satellite-derived irradiance measurements to model the feed-in power of residential photovoltaic (PV) systems in a low voltage distribution grid is described. It is validated against smart meter measurements from a test site with 12 residential PV systems in the city of Ulm, Germany, during May 2013 to December 2014. The PV feed-in power is simulated in a 15-min time resolution based on irradiance data derived from Meteosat Second Generation satellite images by the physically based retrieval scheme Heliosat-4. The PV simulation is based on the nominal power and location of the PV systems as provided by the distribution system operator. Orientation angles are taken fro…
