2012
Progettare Startup. Virtù imprenditoriali, modelli di business, piani di fattibilità, gamification.
2019
The book regards the startup process by considering different theoretical frameworks, various business models and techniques, all of that discussing about their strenghts and weaknesses. It introduces innovative approaches to the process, such as the one of gamification, and it pays attention on the human premises of a successful business: the role of the entrepreneurial virtues.
Secrecy analysis and learning-based optimization of cooperative NOMA SWIPT systems
2019
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is considered to be one of the best candidates for future networks due to its ability to serve multiple users using the same resource block. Although early studies have focused on transmission reliability and energy efficiency, recent works are considering cooperation among the nodes. The cooperative NOMA techniques allow the user with a better channel (near user) to act as a relay between the source and the user experiencing poor channel (far user). This paper considers the link security aspect of energy harvesting cooperative NOMA users. In particular, the near user applies the decode-and-forward (DF) protocol for relaying the message of the source no…
Numerical approach for signal delay in general distributed networks
2003
The authors consider a general network with telegraph equations modelling distributed elements and having, additionally, nonlinear capacitors. A global asymptotic exponential stability of the solution is given. A simple computable upper bound of the delay time is given. Numerical examples illustrate the usefulness of the results. >
Reactivity of antitumor coinage metal-based N-heterocyclic carbene complexes with cysteine and selenocysteine protein sites
2021
Abstract The reaction of the antitumor M(I)-bis-N-heterocyclic carbene (M(I)-NHC) complexes, M = Cu, Ag, and Au, with their potential protein binding sites, i.e. cysteine and selenocysteine, was investigated by means of density functional theory approaches. Capped cysteine and selenocysteine were employed to better model the corresponding residues environment within peptide structures. By assuming the neutral or deprotonated form of the side chains of these amino acids and by considering the possible assistance of an external proton donor such as an adjacent acidic residue or the acidic component of the surrounding buffer environment, we devised five possible routes leading to the binding o…
Reinvestigation of the Pd-catalysed bis(silylation) of alkynes with 1,1,2,2-tetramethyl-1,2-bis(phenylthiomethyl)disilane: Unexpected formation of th…
2013
International audience; The bis(silylated) alkenes Z-(PhSCH2)Me2SiC(H)=C(Fc)SiMe2(CH2SPh) (2) and Z-(PhSCH2)Me2SiC(H)=C(bipheny)SiMe2(CH2SPh) (3) have been prepared by Pd-catalysed double silylation of ethynylferrocene and 4-ethynyl-1,1'-biphenyl in the presence of 1,1,2,2-tetramethyl-1,2-bis(phenylthiomethyl)disilane (1). A reinvestigation on the interaction of 1 with [PdCl2(PhCN)2] in technical-grade CH2Cl2 as solvent revealed competition between reduction to elemental palladium (due to oxidative addition of the Si-Si bond across Pd(II) and subsequent reductive elimination) and formation of an unusual eight-membered chelate complex cis-[PdCl2{(PhSCH2SiMe2)2O}] (4), which is fluxional in s…
Perception of illusory surfaces and contours in goldfish
2007
Goldfish(Carassius auratus)were trained to discriminate triangles and squares using a two choice procedure. In the first experiment, three goldfish were trained with food reward on a black outline triangle on a white background, while a black outline square was shown for comparison. In transfer tests, a Kanizsa triangle and a Kanizsa square were presented, perceived by humans as an illusory triangle- or square-shaped surface of slightly higher brightness than the background. The choice behavior in this situation indicates that goldfish are able to discriminate between both figures in almost the same way as in the training situation. In control experiments goldfish did not discriminate betwe…

Identifying the k Best Targets for an Advertisement Campaign via Online Social Networks
2020
We propose a novel approach for the recommendation of possible customers (users) to advertisers (e.g., brands) based on two main aspects: (i) the comparison between On-line Social Network profiles, and (ii) neighborhood analysis on the On-line Social Network. Profile matching between users and brands is considered based on bag-of-words representation of textual contents coming from the social media, and measures such as the Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency are used in order to characterize the importance of words in the comparison. The approach has been implemented relying on Big Data Technologies, allowing this way the efficient analysis of very large Online Social Networks. Resul…
