Edge-Based Missing Data Imputation in Large-Scale Environments
2021
Smart cities leverage large amounts of data acquired in the urban environment in the context of decision support tools. These tools enable monitoring the environment to improve the quality of services offered to citizens. The increasing diffusion of personal Internet of things devices capable of sensing the physical environment allows for low-cost solutions to acquire a large amount of information within the urban environment. On the one hand, the use of mobile and intermittent sensors implies new scenarios of large-scale data analysis
MSAProbs-MPI: parallel multiple sequence aligner for distributed-memory systems
2016
This is a pre-copyedited, author-produced version of an article accepted for publication in Bioinformatics following peer review. The version of recordJorge González-Domínguez, Yongchao Liu, Juan Touriño, Bertil Schmidt; MSAProbs-MPI: parallel multiple sequence aligner for distributed-memory systems, Bioinformatics, Volume 32, Issue 24, 15 December 2016, Pages 3826–3828, https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btw558is available online at: https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btw558 [Abstracts] MSAProbs is a state-of-the-art protein multiple sequence alignment tool based on hidden Markov models. It can achieve high alignment accuracy at the expense of relatively long runtimes for large-sca…
Automatic crack detection results using a novel device for survey and analysis of road pavement condition
2019
To accurately schedule maintenance operations, it is crucial to monitor the pavement state and, thus, evaluate the structural and functional indices during its entire service life. In particular, surface conditions (cracks, potholes, patches, rutting, etc.) must be properly checked – especially in terms of detection, identification, and classification of distresses – for avoiding reaching dangerous values for users (overpassing safety thresholds). However, monitoring and survey activities can be so costly (not only in economic terms, but further considering the execution time) to discourage their execution, with evident drawbacks for a proper maintenance management and the related intervent…
La sentencia y su ejecución en el proyecto dominicano de ley sobre control judicial de la administración pública
2021
The regime of the execution of the sentence is analyzed, starting from the powers of declarative and executive substitution of the contentious-administrative judge. It begins with the reference to the constitutional guidelines of the administrative process. Then, the different modalities of judicial substitution are described in the types of sentences (declarative, constitutive and conviction) regulated in the project, to then refer to the regime of executive seizure of public goods. It ends by describing: the powers granted to the judge to agree indirect measures that assist with the execution of the judgment, the cases of impossibility of execution and the extension of the sentence to thi…
Sull'esecuzione del contratto secondo buona fede
2023
Il saggio affronta le principali applicazioni della buona fede nell'interpretazione e nell'esecuzione del contratto. L'autore critica alcune soluzioni della giurisprudenza della Corte di cassazione, specie con riguardo a condotte riconducibili alla figura dell'abuso di personalità giuridica. The essay deals with the main applications of good faith in the interpretation and execution of the contract. The author criticizes some solutions of the jurisprudence of the Court of Cassation, especially with regard to conduct attributable to the figure of abuse of the legal person.
Influence of the distance in a roundhouse kick's execution time and impact force in Taekwondo.
2009
Taekwondo, originally a Korean martial art, is well known for its kicks. One of the most frequently used kicks in competition is Bandal Chagui or roundhouse kick. Excellence in Taekwondo relies on the ability to make contact with the opponent's trunk or face with enough force in as little time as possible, while at the same time avoiding being hit. Thus, the distance between contestants is an important variable to be taken into consideration. Thirty-one Taekwondo athletes in two different groups (expert and novice, according to experience in competition) took part in this study. The purpose of this study was to examine both impact force and execution time in a Bandal Chagui or roundhouse ki…
Impact force and time analysis influenced by execution distance in a roundhouse kick to the head in taekwondo.
2011
The execution distance is a tactic factor that affects mechanical performance and execution technique in taekwondo. This study analyzes the roundhouse kick to the head by comparing the maximum impact force, execution time, and impact time in 3 distances according to the athletes' competition level. It also analyzes the relationship between impact force and weight in each group. It examines whether the execution distance affects the maximum impact force, execution time, and impact time, in each level group or 2 different competition levels. Participants were 27 male taekwondo players (13 medallists and 14 nonmedallists). The medallists executed the roundhouse kick to the head with greater im…
Dissociating effect of upper limb non-use and overuse on space and body representations.
2015
Accurate and updated representations of the space where the body acts, i.e. the peripersonal space (PPS), and the location and dimension of body parts (body representation, BR) are essential to perform actions. Because both PPS and BR are involved in motor execution and display the same plastic proprieties after the use of a tool to reach far objects, it has been suggested that they overlap in a unique representation of the body in a space devoted to action. Here we determined whether manipulating actions in space, without modifying body metrics, i.e. through immobilization, induces a dissociation of the plastic properties of PPS and BR. In 39 healthy subjects we evaluated PPS and BR for th…
An execution in medieval Sicily: Computerised tomography scan analysis and 3D reconstruction of an ancient forensic context
2019
The bioarchaeological and forensic approach is increasingly applied in the study of funerary contexts in archaeology. Here, we present a case of an atypical medieval burial recently discovered in Piazza Armerina (Sicily), in which the integrated use of traditional bioarchaeological and forensic anthropology methods was crucial. The skeleton was lying in a prone position and was characterised by a peculiar injury pattern. We recorded six clear stab wound marks on the posterior surface of the sternum. The use of computerised tomography scan and 3D modelling techniques has made it possible to obtain a reliable reconstruction of the cause and modality of death, pointing to the execution of the …
On-board Energy Consumption Assessment for Symbolic Execution Models on Embedded Devices
2020
Internet of Things (IoT) applications operate in several domains while requiring seamless integration among heterogeneous objects. Regardless of the specific platform and context, IoT applications demand high energy efficiency. Adopting resource-constrained embedded devices for IoT applications means ensuring low power consumption, low maintenance costs and possibly longer battery life. Meeting these requirements is particularly arduous as programmers are not able to monitor the energy consumption of their own software during development or when applications are finally deployed. In this paper, we discuss on-board real-time energy evaluation of both hardware and software during the developm…
