Herding in the cryptocurrency market: CSSD and CSAD approaches

2018

Abstract We analyse the existence of herding in the cryptocurrency market through the cross-sectional standard (absolute) deviation of returns. Our results show that extreme dispersion of returns is explained by rational asset pricing models although it is possible to observe herding during down markets, which highlights the inefficiency and risk of cryptocurrencies. We also observe that the smallest digital currencies are herding with the largest ones, thus traders base their decisions on the performance of the main cryptocurrencies. However, the herding phenomenon cannot be solely attributed to Bitcoin, since the rest of the market is not herding with the main cryptocurrency.

Scritture dimenticate, scritture colonizzate: sistemi grafici e codifiche digitali

2020

L'articolo discute due esempi di come le attuali tecnologie di codifica digitale rappresentino in modo errato gli script non occidentali, in particolare i sistemi grafici dell'India (Devánāgarī) e del Medio Oriente (arabo). Le codifiche digitali come Unicode ereditano tre rigidi principi dalla stampa: (A) 1 ↔ 1, un grafema corrisponde a una lettera; (B) 1 = 1, tutti i grafemi (es. Vocali, consonanti) hanno lo stesso stato; (C) 1, 2, 3…, la scrittura è una sequenza di elementi tutti sullo stesso "livello". Questi principi, tuttavia, non si applicavano ai sistemi grafici europei medievali scritti a mano e non si applicano oggi a quelli non occidentali, compresa la loro versione stampata. In D…

The Mathematical Table of the Palazzina Cinese in Palermo. Animation and Virtual Reality Techniques for an Edutainment Project

2023

The Palazzina Cinese of Palermo was built on a project by Venanzio Marvuglia in 1799 on behalf of Ferdinand IV of Borbone, when the royal family, fleeing from Naples following the establishment of the Parthenopean Republic, moved to Sicily. The building, known as “Chinese” due to its style, is full of particular architectural and decorative solutions. An element of particular interest is theMathematical Table, designed to avoid any contact between the living room and the kitchen below, isolating it from smells and servants. Thanks to a complex system of winches and pulleys, in fact, the dishes could be served by letting the central portion of the table and small circular areas fall into the…
