Cross-validation of δ15N and FishBase estimates of fish trophic position in a Mediterranean lagoon: The importance of the isotopic baseline

2013

Abstract FishBase, a relational database freely available on the Internet, is to date widely used as a source of quantitative information on the trophic position of marine fish species. Here, we compared FishBase estimates for an assemblage of 30 fish species sampled in a Mediterranean lagoon (Acquatina lagoon, SE Italy) with their trophic positions calculated using nitrogen stable isotopes. To assess the influence of the trophic level used to compute the baseline indicator on the robustness of isotopic estimations, we compared the trophic position of fish calculated using the average δ 15 N signature of either basal resource or primary consumer taxa measured at three stations located in th…

Palermo, quartieri e periferie: “azioni guida” nel palinsesto urbano

2012

The method of choice for the local coordination work led by the Palermo unit interpreted the common requests for the National PRIN on “the upgrading and rehabilitation of the public housing sector”, focusing its attention on the multiple scenarios and using the architectural project as a powerful “working tool”. From the project examination on the specific cases and the theories put forward by the group of designers – considering the different design approaches – it seems possible to extrapolate some recurring actions – on the basis of the results achieved – which might be considered as a reference structure for the definition of those “guidelines” representing the final target of the resea…

La città di Alphabet. Architettura per prosumers.

2021

Attraverso alcuni aspetti salienti dell’ideazione, della produzione e dell’opposizione al progetto del Toronto Quayside di Sidewalk labs, l’articolo discute l’influenza delle infrastrutture digitali per l’informazione sul progetto della casa e del quartiere. L’ampliamento delle attività svolte da remoto nello spazio domestico, enfatizzato dal quotidiano della pandemia da Covid 19, costituisce per gli oligopolisti planetari degli urban data come Alphabet un utile volano pubblicitario e un acceleratore. La fusione dei nuovi vessilli della tecnoemancipazione e della sostenibilità in ipotesi sperimentali che mirano a costruirsi sia per intero che per parti realizza un nuovo orizzonte in cui lo …

Ambiti identitari di quartiere per la città del futuro

2013

How should we conceive a future city that is capable of avoiding the mistakes of the present? In order to redraw our urban spaces we have been looking for neighbourhood identity areas in Palermo, so that they can link the past to the future, development to conservation. The neighbourhood becomes the common ground between the private sphere (the house) and the public sphere (the city), and allows the citizens to embrace the active sphere of politics. This paper aims at identifying a way to overcome the administrative scheme which has so far been used: neighbourhoods urge citizens from the 21th century to rediscover society, conceived as the connecting ground between each other.

Vivibilità e creatività delle periferie

2020

Consumare meno suolo significa riscoprire la vita in città, riqualificando ambiti degradati, consolidando le piccole centralità mediante spazi pubblici e funzioni aggreganti, sostenendo e incentivando la “ricucitura” di architetture dismesse e parti di città poco vivibili. La “memoria” identitaria e la dimensione ecologico-paesaggistica in chiave creativa delle città possono, e devono, divenire un volano per innescare vivibilità soprattutto nei contesti urbani difficili. Partendo dal concetto di milieu, un approccio creativo bottom up può costituire la base operativa per una vision che, ancor prima di avere una dimensione urbana, ne abbia una “umana”. Nell’obiettivo ultimo di affrontare tem…

Exploiting Correlation between Body Gestures and Spoken Sentences for Real-time Emotion Recognition

2017

Humans communicate their affective states through different media, both verbal and non-verbal, often used at the same time. The knowledge of the emotional state plays a key role to provide personalized and context-related information and services. This is the main reason why several algorithms have been proposed in the last few years for the automatic emotion recognition. In this work we exploit the correlation between one's affective state and the simultaneous body expressions in terms of speech and gestures. Here we propose a system for real-time emotion recognition from gestures. In a first step, the system builds a trusted dataset of association pairs (motion data -> emotion pattern), a…

Prehistoric Settlement and Population in the Madonie Mountains. New Data from the Archaeological Survey

2010

The aim of the Madonie research project is to analyse mobility strategies and the use of a mountainous territory by relating geomorphologic features, raw material sources and landscape to the prehistoric settlement. For this purpose we planned an intensive and systematic survey of sample areas, selected on geo-morphological, altimetric and archaeological criteria, correlated to a palaeoenvironmental investigation based on the study of palynological sequence samples coming from wet areas of the Madonie territory and from archaeological deposits. Le projet de recherche sur la Madonie analyse les stratégies de mobilité et l’exploitation du territoire de montagne, en reliant les caractéristique…
