Effects of Different Sports Shoes and Bare Feet on Static and Dynamic Balance In Healthy Females: A Randomized Clinical Trial

2022

Static and dynamic balance can be influenced by many factors. However, there is limited evidence regarding the effects that shoe sole hardness may have on balance. The aim of our study was to investigate effects of different sports shoes and bare feet on static and dynamic balance in healthy female individuals. Seventeen female participants were included in our study. All participants were assessed with bare feet, hard-support sports shoes and soft-foam sports shoes. The order of the assessment for each participant was randomly determined using an online random allocation software. The SportKAT 3000® device was used to assess dynamic double feet, static double feet, dominant foot and non-do…

Statistical properties of general Markov dynamical sources: applications to information theory

2004

In \textitDynamical sources in information theory: fundamental intervals and word prefixes, B. Vallée studies statistical properties of words generated by dynamical sources. This is done using generalized Ruelle operators. The aim of this article is to generalize sources for which the results hold. First, we avoid the use of Grotendieck theory and Fredholm determinants, this allows dynamical sources that cannot be extended to a complex disk or that are not analytic. Second, we consider Markov sources: the language generated by the source over an alphabet \textbfM is not necessarily \textbfM^*.

Information Dynamics of Electric Field Intensity before and during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

2022

This work investigates the temporal statistical structure of time series of electric field (EF) intensity recorded with the aim of exploring the dynamical patterns associated with periods with different human activity in urban areas. The analyzed time series were obtained from a sensor of the EMF RATEL monitoring system installed in the campus area of the University of Novi Sad, Serbia. The sensor performs wideband cumulative EF intensity monitoring of all active commercial EF sources, thus including those linked to human utilization of wireless communication systems. Monitoring was performed continuously during the years 2019 and 2020, allowing us to investigate the effects on the patterns…

Dynamics and extraction of quantum discord in a multipartite open system

2011

We consider a multipartite system consisting of two noninteracting qubits each embedded in a single-mode leaky cavity, in turn connected to an external bosonic reservoir. Initially, we take the two qubits in an entangled state while the cavities and the reservoirs have zero photons. We investigate, in this six-partite quantum system, the transfer of quantum discord from the qubits to the cavities and reservoirs. We show that this transfer occurs also when the cavities are not entangled. Moreover, we discuss how quantum discord can be extracted from the cavities and transferred to distant systems by traveling leaking photons, using the input-output theory.

FAVARA FUTURES. Research workshop, Start conference. Dynamics of periphery

2017

The book collects a result of the project between the University of Palermo and Leibniz Universität Hannover, “Dynamics of Periphery” funded in the University Dialogue Programme Southern Europe of DAAD. The conceptual approaches collected in the book are combined with a project report of a workshop in Favara with master students of both universities; in collaboration with the municipality of Favara and with FARM Cultural Park Favara. The trans-versal research between architecture, urban design, arts, local and regional development highlights the need and the potential of new ways to integrate “Dynamics of Periphery” in debates and policies about futures of habitat in Europe.

Studies of network structure and dynamics of e-beam crosslinked PVPs: From macro to nano

2011

Much interest has been paid to develop a variety of radiation-crosslinked hydrated polymeric materials, which swell in water but do not dissolve, as biocompatible materials used for wound healing, drug delivery system, surface-coating material for medically used devices, etc. With the aim of establishing design rules to produce hydrogels of controlled size at the nanoscale and desired internal network structure using conventional electron accelerators and set-ups, here we attempt a description in terms of structural and dynamic properties of polymer networks generated through e-beam irradiation of aqueous solutions of the same model polymer, a commercial grade poly(N-vinyl-pyrrolidone), sub…

The determinants and barriers of e-Government Adoption in the Municipality of Palermo

2014

La costante innovazione tecnologica fornisce nuovi spunti per la creazione di network efficienti e lo sviluppo di nuovi business. Anche la Pubblica Amministrazione (PA) vuole sfruttare tali opportunità. In particolare, la PA, attraverso l’implementazione di una strategia di e-Government può mirare a una maggiore efficienza, alla riduzione dell’errore umano e delle frodi. Tuttavia, non si tratta di un mero cambiamento di strumenti. Il passaggio a un’Amministrazione Digitale richiede un cambio di approccio manageriale. Partendo dalla somministrazione di un questionario (sul sito istituzionale del Comune di Palermo, 389 risposte utili) che ha confermato la poca consapevolezza dei cittadini rig…

Exploring the Life Form of a Student Athlete Afforded by a Dual Career Development Environment in Finland

2020

The current paper introduces a case study conducted in one of the most well-established athletic talent development environments in Finland, with the focus on the environment’s ecological dynamics and organizational culture, in light of its recent effort to rebrand itself as a dual career development environment. Our analysis has been inspired by the holistic ecological approach and ecological dynamics, wherein the authors have considered a dual career development environment from the point of view of its transactions with agentic individuals and affordances for student athletes in the study domain, the sports domain, and the private domain. The authors believe our findings can provide othe…
