On the road. Bob Noorda: il grafico del viaggio / On the road. Bob Noorda: travelling with a graphic designer
2011
Quella che è raccontata nelle pagine del volume è una microstoria del graphic design in Italia, scritta da un olandese che del suo paese d’origine ha mantenuto molto, in primis la formazione, la cultura del progetto, l’accento e lo stile, e del nostro ha assimilato altrettanto, tutti aspetti che hanno contribuito a fare di lui, Bob Noorda, un progettista ad altissimo livello che ha scritto con la sua lunga e importante carriera professionale, parte della storia della disciplina progettuale. Una microstoria che lega il Touring Club Italiano (TCI) al graphic designer che ne ha ridisegnato il marchio, senza che il parlare di ridisegno possa assumere in alcun modo un’accezione riduttiva per il …
Robust Allocation Rules in Dynamical Cooperative TU Games
2011
Robust dynamic coalitional TU games are repeated TU games where the values of the coalitions are unknown but bounded variables. We set up the game supposing that the Game Designer uses a vague measure of the extra reward that each coalition has received up to the current time to re-adjust the allocations among the players. As main result, we provide a constructive method for designing allocation rules that converge to the core of the average game. Both the set up and the solution approach also provide an insight on commonalities between coalitional games and stability theory.
Immediate loading implants: Review of the critical aspects
2018
Purpose. Modern dentistry have witnessed, a rapid and continuing evolution. Concerning the implant-rehabilitation protocols, they have beenEdizioniredefined in order to satisfy patientâs increasing expectations in terms of comfort, aesthetic and shorter treatment period. The purpose of this review is to explore the concept of implant immediate loading and the indications for clinical practice. All the critical aspects that could influence the outcomes of this treatment will also be considered. Materials and methods. Three protocols for implant load timing have been classified: immediate loading implants (ILI); early loading implants (ELI); and conventional loading implants (CLI). Two subc…
A new chromo-fluorogenic probe based on BODIPY for NO2 detection in air
2014
[EN] A novel colorimetric probe for the selective and sensitive detection of NO2 in solution and in air based on a BODIPY core containing an oxime group has been prepared.
Il sistema dei confini
2020
As far as architecture is concerned, boundaries are not standing-alone entities. They rather act in systems. This is of paramount importance when looking at the complex overlapping of different and heterogeneous boundaries within physical space. The paper emphasizes and focus on this issue, using some architectural theoretical speculations over centuries as well as examples taken from art and philosophy.
Recent progress in developing a feasible and integrated conceptual design of the WCLL BB in EUROfusion project
2019
The water-cooled lithium-lead breeding blanket is in the pre-conceptual design phase. It is a candidate option for European DEMO nuclear fusion reactor. This breeding blanket concept relies on the liquid lithium-lead as breeder-multiplier, pressurized water as coolant and EUROFER as structural material. Current design is based on DEMO 2017 specifications. Two separate water systems are in charge of cooling the first wall and the breeding zone: thermo-dynamic cycle is 295–328 °C at 15.5 MPa. The breeder enters and exits from the breeding zone at 330 °C. Cornerstones of the design are the single module segment approach and the water manifold between the breeding blanket box and the back suppo…
Bridging the gap between research and practice : using phenomenographic findings to develop training for career practitioners
2021
AbstractThis study contends that phenomenography offers both a useful research method and practical tools for developing education and training for career practitioners. After introducing the basic principles of phenomenography, the study reviews previous research on its potential in developing pedagogical practices. It explores how the phenomenographic findings were utilized to design an online skills training programme for career practitioners. The study finds that phenomenographic research serves three practical pedagogical purposes: (1) revealing how learners understand certain concepts or phenomena, (2) elucidating how these understandings differ; and (3) identifying critical aspects i…
Electronic and Functional Scope of Boronic Acid Derived Salicylidenehydrazone (BASHY) Complexes as Fluorescent Dyes
2017
[EN] A series of boronic acid derived salicylidenehydrazone (BASHY) complexes was prepared and photophysically characterized. The dye platform can be modified by (a) electronic tuning along the cyanine-type axis via modification of the donor-acceptor pair and (b) functional tuning via the boronic acid residue. On the one hand, approach (a) allows the control of photophysical parameters such as Stokes shift, emission color, and two-photon absorption (2PA) cross section. The resulting dyes show emission light-up behavior in nonpolar media and are characterized by high fluorescence quantum yields (ca. 0.5-0.7) and brightness (ca. 35000-40000 M-1 cm(-1)). Moreover, the 2PA cross sections reach …
Angiocardiographic digital still images compressed via irreversible methods: concepts and experiments.
1997
Abstract We defined, implemented and tested two new methods for irreversible compression of angiocardiographic still images: brightness error limitation (BEL) and pseudo-gradient adaptive brightness and contrast error limitation (PABCEL). The scan path used to compress the digital images is based on the Peano–Hilbert plane-filling curve. The compression methods limit, for each pixel, the brightness errors introduced when approximating the original image (i.e. the difference between the values of corresponding pixels as grey levels). Additional limitations are imposed to the contrast error observed when considering along the scan path consecutive pixels of both the original and the reconstru…
Detecting faulty wireless sensor nodes through Stochastic classification
2011
In many distributed systems, the possibility to adapt the behavior of the involved resources in response to unforeseen failures is an important requirement in order to significantly reduce the costs of management. Autonomous detection of faulty entities, however, is often a challenging task, especially when no direct human intervention is possible, as is the case for many scenarios involving Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), which usually operate in inaccessible and hostile environments. This paper presents an unsupervised approach for identifying faulty sensor nodes within a WSN. The proposed algorithm uses a probabilistic approach based on Markov Random Fields, requiring exclusively an ana…
