The project for the “Galleria Oretea” by Giuseppe Damiani Almeyda and other unbuilt “passages” in Palermo
2022
The contribution aims to conjecturally reconstruct and analyze the unrealized project by Giuseppe Damiani Almeyda regarding the “Galleria Oretea” for Palermo. It is an urban project of considerable size and impact, which should have provided the city of Palermo, in the old town, with a gallery in the style of the Parisian “passages”, inspired by the contemporary creations of Milan and Naples. Thanks to the recent cataloging and publication of the entire corpus of drawings in the Damiani Archive, a reinterpretation of the project was carried out through a three-dimensional recomposition of the immersed in the places where it was originally conceived. Two other projects were developed for the…
Feasible Domain-Driven Genetic Operators for Distribution Systems Optimal Reconfiguration
2010
In this paper, the problem of minimum losses reconfiguration in weakly meshed medium voltage (MV) distribution systems is dealt with. The presence of meshes can either be a cause of the presence of particular loads, favoured customer (FC) nodes, requiring a double supply path or of distributed generation (DG) nodes, that cannot work in islanded mode. The problem has been brought back to the more general problem of radial networks reconfiguration with the major aim of minimising power losses subject to constraints on voltage drops at load nodes and current in branches as well as on the partition of power generated among supply nodes in the network. The problem is non-linear and combinatorial…
Multiobjective Optimal Reconfiguration of MV Networks with Different Earthing Systems
2010
The paper deals with the traditional problem of multiobjective optimal reconfiguration applied to power distribution systems considering the safety issue in the formulation. The applications are devoted to the solution of the posed problem in networks in which coexist energy sources with unearthed neutral point and resonant earthed neutral point. After a brief review of the most recent papers on optimal reconfiguration, the paper outlines the safety problem and provides a solution to the multiobjective problem using the Non dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II aiming at: minimal power losses operation, safety check at distribution substations and load balancing among the HV/MV transformer…

A Fuzzy Adaptive Controller for an Ambient Intelligence Scenario
2014
The definition of effective energy saving strategies capable of satisfying users’ requirements for environmental wellness is a complex task that requires the definition of well-tuned optimization algorithms. Sensory information depends on the environments observed, hence the model adopted to describe it should be adaptive and dynamic. This chapter presents a methodology for the tuning of a fuzzy controller capable of minimizing energy consumption while maximizing the users comfort in an Ambient Intelligence Scenario. A meta-heuristic search algorithm produces different sets of fuzzy rules depending on the needs of the system. An ontology has been developed to describe the configurations of …
A Middleware to Develop and Test Vehicular Sensor Network Applications
2019
The Smart city ecosystem is composed of several networked devices that provide services to citizens and improve their quality of life. Basic services, which must be exposed by the underlying software infrastructure, require efficient networking and communication protocols to coordinate and manage all the system components. In particular, Vehicular Sensor Networks (VSNs) are envisioned as key components of smart cities. Verification is crucial in such a highly dynamic scenario to ensure operation correctness and to reduce the development cost of smart applications. However, the rigidity of existing middlewares makes development, reconfiguration, and testing rather difficult. In this work, we…
Autobiografie interrotte. Plasticità distruttrice, riconfigurazioni estetiche e identità accidentali
2023
Che relazione esiste tra il corpo di ciascun individuo e la sua identità individuale? La nostra identità rimane immutata nel tempo, permettendoci di narrare un’autobiografia lineare, o possono sopraggiungere eventi accidentali che contribuiscono a modificarla radicalmente, dando vita a una nuova versione di noi stessi, a una nuova storia? In questo articolo ci proponiamo di rispondere a tali domande partendo dalle riflessioni della pensatrice francese Catherine Malabou. Affronteremo il problema della costruzione e della decostruzione dell'identità individuale alla luce dell'ontologia dell'incidente, analizzando il concetto di plasticità negativa e cercando di delineare come un evento accide…
Implementation of JPEG2000 arithmetic decoder using dynamic reconfiguration of FPGA
2005
This paper describes implementation of a part of JPEG2000 algorithm (MQ-Decoder and arithmetic decoder) on a FPGA board using dynamic reconfiguration. Comparison between static and dynamic reconfiguration is presented and new analysis criteria (time performance, logic cost, spatio-temporal efficiency) are defined. MQ-decoder and arithmetic decoder can be classified in the most attractive case for dynamic reconfiguration implementation: applications without parallelism by functions. This implementation is done on an architecture designed to study dynamic reconfiguration of FPGAs: the ARDOISE architecture. The implementation obtained, based on four partial configurations of arithmetic decoder…
Cost comparison of image rotation implantations on static and dynamic Reconfigurable FPGAs
2002
FPGA components are widely used today to perform various algorithms (digital filtering) in real time. The emergence of Dynamically Reconfigurable (DR) FPGAs made it possible to reduce the number of necessary resources to carry out an image processing application (tasks chain). We present in this article an image processing application (image rotation) that exploits the FPGA 's dynamic reconfiguration feature. A comparison is undertaken between the dynamic and static reconfiguration by using two criteria, cost and performance criteria. For the sake of testing the validity of our approach in terms of Algorithm and Architecture Adequacy, we realized an AT40K40 based board ARDOISE.
Comprehensive Modeling and Experimental Testing of Fault Detection and Management of a Nonredundant Fault-Tolerant VSI
2015
This paper presents an investigation and a comprehensive analysis on fault operations in a conventional three-phase voltage source inverter. After an introductory section dealing with power converter reliability and fault analysis issues in power electronics, a generalized switching function accounting for both healthy and faulty conditions and an easy and feasible method to embed fault diagnosis and reconfiguration within the control algorithm are introduced. The proposed system has simple and compact implementation. Experimental results operating both at open- and closed-loop current control, obtained using a test bench realized using a dSPACE system and the fault-tolerant inverter protot…
