Uno stacco verso il cielo nei territori dell'EUR

2019

La torre Eurosky, dello Studio Purini/Thermes, accarezza il cielo di Roma. Da lontano la sua grammatica espressiva sembra suggerire l’emergere di un nuovo confronto fra un’architettura realizzata e la città in divenire. Questa si colloca come elemento di forte identità in un più ampio contesto che - messo a punto in un masterplan, sempre da Purini - definisce l’intera area di progetto dell’Europarco Castellaccio, a ridosso dell’EUR. The Eurosky tower, by Studio Purini / Thermes, caresses the sky of Rome. From a distance, its expressive grammar seems to suggest the emergence of a new comparison between a completed architecture and the city in the making. This is placed as an element of stron…

Hierarchical Syntactic Models for Human Activity Recognition through Mobility Traces

2019

AbstractRecognizing users’ daily life activities without disrupting their lifestyle is a key functionality to enable a broad variety of advanced services for a Smart City, from energy-efficient management of urban spaces to mobility optimization. In this paper, we propose a novel method for human activity recognition from a collection of outdoor mobility traces acquired through wearable devices. Our method exploits the regularities naturally present in human mobility patterns to construct syntactic models in the form of finite state automata, thanks to an approach known asgrammatical inference. We also introduce a measure ofsimilaritythat accounts for the intrinsic hierarchical nature of su…

Novel high-performance QCA Fredkin gate and designing scalable QCA binary to gray and vice versa

2022

AbstractIn the design of digital logic circuits, QCA technology is an excellent alternative to CMOS technology. Its advantages over CMOS include low power consumption, fast circuit switching, and nanoscale design. Circuits that convert data between different formats are code converters. Code converters have an essential role in high-performance computing and signal processing. In this paper, first, we proposed a novel QCA structure for the quantum reversible Fredkin gate. Second, we proposed 4-bit and 8-bit QCA binary-to-gray converter and vice versa. For the second proposal, both reversible and irreversible structures are suggested. The proposed structures are scalable up to N bits. To cha…

Shedding Light on the Dark Ages: Sketching Potential Trade Relationships in Early Medieval Romania through Mitochondrial DNA Analysis of Sheep Remains

2021

Southeast Europe has played an important role in shaping the genetic diversity of sheep due to its proximity to the Danubian route of transport from the Near East into Europe, as well as its possible role as a post-domestication migration network and long tradition of sheep breeding. The history of Romania and, in particular, the historical province of Dobruja, located on the shore of the Black Sea, has been influenced by its geographical position at the intersection between the great powers of the Near East and mainland Europe, with the Middle Ages being an especially animated time in terms of trade, migration, and conflict. In this study, we analyzed the mitochondrial control region of fi…

La "Descrittione di Piazza Vigliena" di Onofrio Paruta

2011

I lavori di costruzione e di completamento dei Quattro Canti, avviati nel 1619, si conclusero appena in tempo per “coinvolgere” le quinte architettoniche nel sistema di apparati predisposti per la prima solenne processione delle reliquie di Santa Rosalia nel 1625; questi furono allestiti per conto della municipalità palermitana avvalendosi della sapiente consulenza di Francesco Paruta, illustre accademico e cultore di antiquaria, impegnato, già dalla fine del XVI secolo, in una vasta attività letteraria legata ad eventi celebrativi. A lui si deve, per questa particolare occasione, l’impalcatura erudita sottesa al progetto dell’arco trionfale del Senato, eretto al centro di piazza Villena, e…

RabbitQC: high-speed scalable quality control for sequencing data

2019

Abstract Motivation Modern sequencing technologies continue to revolutionize many areas of biology and medicine. Since the generated datasets are error-prone, downstream applications usually require quality control methods to pre-process FASTQ files. However, existing tools for this task are currently not able to fully exploit the capabilities of computing platforms leading to slow runtimes. Results We present RabbitQC, an extremely fast integrated quality control tool for FASTQ files, which can take full advantage of modern hardware. It includes a variety of operations and supports different sequencing technologies (Illumina, Oxford Nanopore and PacBio). RabbitQC achieves speedups between …

Properties and application of nondeterministic quantum query algorithms

2006

Many quantum algorithms can be analyzed in a query model to compute Boolean functions where input is given by a black box. As in the classical version of decision trees, different kinds of quantum query algorithms are possible: exact, zero-error, bounded-error and even nondeterministic. In this paper, we study the latter class of algorithms. We introduce a fresh notion in addition to already studied nondeterministic algorithms and introduce dual nondeterministic quantum query algorithms. We examine properties of such algorithms and prove relations with exact and nondeterministic quantum query algorithm complexity. As a result and as an example of the application of discovered properties, we…
