New digital trends in current architecture. A comprehensive critical examination
2017
The research presented is about digital revolution in architecture, which has contributed to the birth of new figurative trends. The work was conducted through the definition of a framework to identify and classify architectural design elements that should be attributed to the methods and techniques of design computing, then applied to sixty prominent recent architectures which are acknowledged products of digital means. The early results suggest that a new era is coming, where the conceptual starting point of designers is often born in the digital space, taking advantage of the augmented representation skills to control and manipulate form. We will also do an overview of these new architec…
Information retrieval in digital documents : a variation patterns of procedural execution
2013
The research activity of information on the internet has become common in our daily life. Despite this fact, it still raises many problems for the user who does not find the information they want or is lost to the amount of information available. This study aims at testing a new patented preview device, enabling users to browse and view pages in depth. The task is to find a target apartment with one or more specific criteria in a real estate agency designed website. Several conditions were tested. The “usual” condition with the classic search features, page by page, the other "transparent" condition which enables you to preview selected pages and select only relevant pages. We are intereste…
L’excursus evolutivo fra l’OCSE e l’Unione Europea
2023
Il contributo esamina Il ruolo svolto dall’OCSE e dall’Unione Europea nello sviluppo di possibili modelli di tassazione dell'econima digitale, distinguendo tre fasi. La prima è stata definita come fase della “neutralità”, poiché l’economia digitale è stata considerata alla stregua dell’economia tradizionale e, pertanto, l’approccio fiscale nei suoi confronti doveva essere neutrale, cioè non diverso da quello che ha storicamente caratterizzato l’economia tradizionale a livello internazionale. La seconda è stata definita come fase del “contrasto” poiché, muovendo dalla consapevolezza che l’applicazione degli strumenti della digitalizzazione all’economia tradizionale aveva consentito alle impr…
Digital education, geography and multidisciplinarity: Themes, methods and critical issues
2023
<abstract> <p>The article is the Editorial of the Special Issue "Digital Education, Geography and Multidisciplinarity: Themes, Methods and Critical Issues". It explores some fundamental and theoretical issues on the interrelated subjects of digital education, geography and multidisciplinarity. More in particular, the article takes into account the manner in which this Special Issue of AIMS Geosciences reflects on links between the teaching/learning of geography (at any school/university level) and the digital world in a multidisciplinary perspective. That includes both the critical issues and the advantages in terms of sustainability and greater awareness of geographical phenome…
32×32 winner-take-all matrix with single winner selection
2010
A 32 × 32 winner-take-all (WTA) matrix with single winner selection is introduced. A high-resolution gain-boosted regulated-cascode WTA circuit is used in a first competition stage. Because of the large number of competing cells the possibility of a multiple winners situation arises. A single winner is obtained by means of a digital inhibitory circuit following each WTA analogue amplifier. Simulations show that this mixed analogue-digital circuit achieves its objective with a current resolution of approximately 10 nA (0.8% of the maximum input current in the simulated case). A time response of ?s can be achieved.
Mixed-type circuits with distributed and lumped parameters as correct models for integrated structures
1991
The technology of integrated circuits imposes upon their designers the need to deal with structures with distributed parameters. Figure 4.1 shows a schematic diagram of part of a digital integrated chip, consisting of an n MOS transistor with gate (G), drain (D) and source (S) as terminals, and its thin-film connection with the rest of the chip. This on-chip connection can be made by metals (Al, W), polycristaline silicon (polysilicon) or metal suicides (WSi 2 ). Alternative materials to oxide-passivated silicon substrates are saphire and gallium arsenide (Saraswat and Mohammadi [1982], Yuan et al. [1982], Passlack et al. [1990]).
Performance of the Fully Digital FPGA-Based Front-End Electronics for the GALILEO Array
2014
In this work we present the architecture and results of a fully digital Front End Electronics (FEE) read out system developed for the GALILEO array. The FEE system, developed in collaboration with the Advanced Gamma Tracking Array (AGATA) collaboration, is composed of three main blocks: preamplifiers, digitizers and preprocessing electronics. The slow control system contains a custom Linux driver, a dynamic library and a server implementing network services. The digital processing of the data from the GALILEO germanium detectors has demonstrated the capability to achieve an energy resolution of 1.53 per mil at an energy of 1.33 MeV.
The ATLAS Level-1 Calorimeter Trigger
2008
The ATLAS Level-1 Calorimeter Trigger uses reduced-granularity information from all the ATLAS calorimeters to search for high transverse-energy electrons, photons, tau leptons and jets, as well as high missing and total transverse energy. The calorimeter trigger electronics has a fixed latency of about 1 microsecond, using programmable custom-built digital electronics. This paper describes the Calorimeter Trigger hardware, as installed in the ATLAS electronics cavern.
Well-posed nonlinear problems in integrated circuits modeling
1991
In this paper we study the problem (E) + (BC) + (IC) (see below) which represents a model for integrated circuits. We assume that the distributed parametersr(x) andc(x) are nonconstant, dielectric leakages depend on thex-coordinate as well as the voltage level, while the interconnecting multiport is nonlinear and possibly multivalued.
Parenting in the digital era: Protective and risk parenting styles for traditional bullying and cyberbullying victimization
2019
Abstract This study analyzes the parenting styles that could act as risk or protective factors for bullying and cyberbullying victimization in Spain, considering the predisposition to aggression of the adolescents. The protective or risk effect of parenting styles for adolescents' related behavior such as antisocial behavior, school adjustment, and self-esteem was also analyzed. Study sample was 1109 adolescents aged between 12 and 17 years (49.96%, females, M = 13.88, SD = 1.38). A 4 × 2 × 2 × 2 MANOVA was applied for the outcome variables of bullying victimization (traditional bullying and cyberbullying), antisocial behavior, school adjustment, and self-esteem; with parenting style, predi…
