Including functional usability features in a Model-Driven Development Method
2013
The Software Engineering (SE) community has historically focused on working with models to represent functionality and persistence, pushing interaction modelling into the background, which has been covered by the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) community. Recently, adequately modelling interaction, and specifically usability, is being considered as a key factor for success in user acceptance, making the integration of the SE and HCI communities more necessary. If we focus on the Model-Driven Development (MDD) paradigm, we notice that there is a lack of proposals to deal with usability features from the very first steps of software development process. In general, usability features are man…
INNOVAZIONE TECNOLOGICA DI SISTEMI, COMPONENTI E MATERIALI
2016
Il fabbisogno energetico di un edificio è la somma dell’energia necessaria per il riscaldamento, il raffrescamento, la ventilazione e l’illuminazione. La somma di tali consumi incide fortemente sul bilancio energetico nazionale e, alla riduzione di tale incidenza, sono dedicate numerose ricerche. Alcune di queste sono tese all’individuazione di nuove fonti energetiche rinnovabili, altre alla riduzione dei consumi attraverso l’efficientamento dell’involucro degli edifici e al miglioramento degli impianti. Tutte queste ricerche sono tese all’efficientamento del consumo energetico in fase d’uso degli edifici, l’energia che si va a misurare è dunque detta Operating energy. La progettazione di u…
Deep-Red-Emitting Electrochemical Cells Based on Heteroleptic Bis-chelated Ruthenium(II) Complexes
2009
Two ruthenium(II)-based complexes were prepared that show intense deep-red light emission at room temperature. Solid-state electroluminescent devices were prepared using one of the ruthenium complexes as the only active component. These devices emit deep-red light at low voltages and exhibit extraordinary stabilities, demonstrating their potential for low-cost deep-red light sources.
Mixed component metal-organic frameworks: Heterogeneity andcomplexity at the service of application performances
2022
The synthesis of mixed-component metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) –including multivariate MOFs (MTV-MOFs), multicomponent MOFs, mixed-metals MOFs and mixed-ligands and metals MOFs– is becoming a very active research field. This is mainly based on the unique possibilities these materials offer to incorporate multiple functionalities and in how this heterogenity and complexity is translated in unexpected properties, which are not just the sum of each component. This review critically encompasses the progress made in this field, covering the synthetic approaches, and specially focusing on the current reported applications –such as gas storage and separation, catalysis, luminescence, conductivit…
Automatic target recognition using 3D passive sensing and imaging with independent component analysis
2009
We present an overview of a method using Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and 3D Integral Imaging (II) technique to recognize 3D objects at different orientations. This method has been successfully applied to the recognition and classification of 3D scenes.
Three-dimensional object-distortion-tolerant recognition for integral imaging using independent component analysis
2009
Independent component analysis (ICA) aims at extracting unknown components from multivariate data assuming that the underlying components are mutually independent. This technique has been successfully applied to the recognition and classification of objects. We present a method that combines the benefits of ICA and the ability of the integral imaging technique to obtain 3D information for the recognition of 3D objects with different orientations. Our recognition is also possible when the 3D objects are partially occluded by intermediate objects.

Capturing citizens — Emerging needs: Using social networks in smart cities
2017
In order to reach its objectives, smart cities (or whatever kind of smart urban environment) should be underpinned by complex cyber physical systems (CPS) able to discover needs and services and "smartly" combine them. Services may be thought as services offered by software components, of whatever nature, for instance software, bot, robot, app and so on. Searching for the best service depends on the need of the citizen(s) and also on the type of (smart) environment the citizens are in. Analysis and design of CPSs are more challenging than the only physical or the only cyber system. We propose a design paradigm shift towards runtime for identifying requirements of cyber physical systems for …
Chemical composition of the essential oil from the aerial parts of Ononis reclinata L. (Fabaceae) grown wild in Sicily
2016
In the present study, the chemical composition of the essential oil from aerial parts of Ononis reclinata L., a species not previously investigated, collected in Sicily was evaluated by GC and Gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry. The main components of O. reclinata were menthone (43.6%), isopimpinellin (38.4%) and pulegone (11.2%). The comparison with other studied oils of genus Ononis showed a peculiar and characteristic profile.

È evidente come la nostra società tecnologica sia legata senza alcun dubbio alla diffusione delle immagini. Autori come Gottfried Boehm, John Mitchell, Hans Belting hanno indagato la natura dell'immagine ponendo le basi, negli anni Novanta, per l'idea di un pictorial turn, di una cultura totalmente dominata dalle immagini che è diventata adesso una possibilità tecnica reale su scala globale. Un nuovo statuto dell'immagine che si usa raccogliere sotto l'etichetta di iconic turner inserito nel più vasto campo visual culture studies. L'uso del termine cultura accanto a quello di visuale è indicativo dell'ampiezza del campo d'indagine che visual culture studies si prefiggono di ricercare: essi …
