Dissensus, death and division
2009
The modeling of switching systems describing networks where death and duplication processes occur is described. A dissensus protocol, complementary to consensus protocol, is introduced and the convergence or divergence of the agents' state evolution is studied. We discuss some properties of the topology reached by the network when different rules of duplication and inheritance are implemented.
Inclusive Design for Alzheimer’s Disease: Low-cost Treatments, Design and ICT
2019
Inability to acquire new memories, difficulty to remember recent events and to recognize objects, places and people, visual-spatial disorientation, these are some of the disorders with which who is affected by neurological diseases must learn to live with. In a continuously evolving society, where the decreasing birth rate and the drops in mortality are consistent, the job of Architecture is precisely to interpret the requirements and needs of people who have lost the canonical relationship with the world and give them the possibility to recover it or maintain it through communication channels that use their remaining ability to understand. The indoors and outdoors acquire a “prosthesis fun…
Bundle generation for last-mile delivery with occasional drivers
2022
In this paper, we present the vehicle routing problem (VRP) with occasional drivers (OD) and order bundles (OB). The problem VRP-OD-OB is an extension of the VRP-OD, where instead of assigning one customer per driver, drivers are assigned bundles of customers. To deal with the bundle-to-driver assignment, a bidding system is exploited, in which a company offers a set of bundles and the drivers raise their bids. These bids depend on features such as the drivers’ destination, flexibility in deviating from the shortest path, and willingness to offer service. To generate valuable bundles of customers, we propose two strategies: (i) an innovative approach based on the creation of corridors, and …
Dall’Ingegneria Agraria all’Ingegneria dei Biosistemi: didattica e ricerca in Europa e negli USA
2009
Il tradizionale settore dell’Ingegneria Agraria da alcuni anni si sta evolvendo, a livello internazionale, verso quello più ampio dell’Ingegneria dei Biosistemi. L’Ingegneria Agraria applica l’ingegneria alle scienze agrarie, mentre l’Ingegneria dei Biosistemi estende le applicazioni dell’ingegneria alle scienze biologiche ed ambientali, per uno sviluppo sostenibile dell’agricoltura, del settore alimentare, dell’uso del suolo e dell’ambiente, includendo pertanto tematiche innovative quali i bio-materiali, le energie rinnovabili, la gestione dei reflui, la tracciabilità, la qualità e la sicurezza degli alimenti, ecc. Come conseguenza della suddetta evoluzione sono stati istituiti: - a livell…
What does happen when an insect pest follows its host plant and viceversa?
2015
Invasive species are usually well known but only make up a small percentage of the European’s alien plants and insects. The ways these exotic species interact with our natural and cultural heritage are very complex and even some species considered invasive had and could have positive aspects on some European landscape and culture. A close look at the complicated relationship between non-native and native plants and insects in the Mediterranean areas reveals some unexpected twists in the story. Here are some cases of when aliens can threaten our cultural heritage or being part of it

Per un'educazione interculturale. Proposte, analisi, testimonianze
2011
I contributi qui presentati costituiscono la versione rivista e ampliata degli interventi formativi realizzati da relatori in occasione del convegno svoltosi il 23 marzo 2011, intitolato “Cinematografia ed educazione interculturale: una finestra aperta verso il dialogo”, organizzato dai docenti del corso di laurea in Scienze dell’Educazione della Facoltà di Scienze Umane e Sociali dell’Università degli Studi di Enna «Kore» e rivolto prevalentemente agli studenti iscritti al predetto corso di studi. Il convegno ha preso le mosse dalla proiezione del mediometraggio Amira (2010) curato da Davide Vigore, giovane regista ennese. La visione, durata circa 44 minuti, è stata proposta agli studenti …

Italian Bloggers' Stories: Their Personalities and Interpersonal Relationship Quality
2009
Abstract: Personal blogs represent a new emergent phenomenon that draws attention of psycholo-gists. In this framework, the present paper discusses the opportunity of evaluating both bloggers’ per-sonalities and their social relationships quality using blog as a new research methodology. Blog usagedata, Big Five personality traits, Interpersonal relationships quality and Internet addiction were evalu-ated in a population of 30 Italian bloggers. Results about Big Five personality traits showed no specificpersonality patterns leading people to become bloggers. However, Italian bloggers describe them-selves as individuals considerably open to experience, very affiliative or friendly and capabl…
Robust optimality of linear saturated control in uncertain linear network flows
2008
We propose a novel approach that, given a linear saturated feedback control policy, asks for the objective function that makes robust optimal such a policy. The approach is specialized to a linear network flow system with unknown but bounded demand and politopic bounds on controlled flows. All results are derived via the Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs and viscosity theory.
