The simbolic indication of heraldry as an approach to enrich souvenir(metal Brooch)

2010

The research is based on the benefit ffrom the study of the symbolic indication of heraldry trought well Known civilization on the Mediterranea Sea; the importance of the research comes from its offeringof the study of an important part for the aim of development of innovated design for souvenir metal brooch with the aim of the awareness of the young of the importance of the artistic heritage which may link periods of times and nations together and arguing the young on necessity of keeping it.

2011

La recensione di Museum, media and cultural theory, primo risultato pubblicato relativo alla ricerca condotta da Michelle Henning sui media comunicativi e sulla loro applicazione all’interno dei musei, mira ad analizzare gli aspetti contenutistici del testo, a contestualizzarne il contenuto nei filoni teorici di riferimento e a sottolinearne l’importanza nell’ampio dibattito attuale sull’argomento cui fa riferimento, le nuove strategie di esposizione nei musei.

Integration of a structural features-based preclassifier and a man-machine interactive classifier for a fast multi-stroke character recognition

2003

A transputer-based parallel machine for handwritten character recognition is proposed. An algorithm based on structural features and on a tree classifier was used to accomplish the pre-classification of the unknown sample in order to speed up the recognition process. The algorithm for the final classification is based on the description of the strokes through Fourier descriptors. The learning phase is accomplished through a man-machine interactive process. The proposed system can expand its knowledge base. A special representation of this knowledge base is proposed in order to record a great amount of data in a suitable way. A fast multistroke handwritten isolated character recognition syst…

A Transputer-Based System for Multi-Stroke Character Recognition

1992

A multi-stroke handwritten character recognition system is presented in this paper. A suitable set of Fourier Descriptors is used as features set to describe each stroke. A man-machine interactive algorithm was utilized to accomplish the learning phase and to recognize unknown samples. A PC based prototype was realized at first to test the system. In order to speed up the recognition process, the design and a first prototype of a Transputer-based system have been realized too. Some preliminary experimental results obtained applying these machines to handwritten numerals are reported in the paper.

ON THE WEIGHT DISPLACEMENT IN CURVE AND THE ROADABILITY OF A 4WS VEHICLE

2013

A simplified theory on the vehicle stability in curve is explained in this paper; it allows the calculation of the force on the wheels during the motion in curve, supposing unchanging the position of the rolling centre; moreover it does not take in account the turn of the wheels and the behaviour of the tires, so that the theory can be applied to 2WS and 4WS vehicles for vertical loads calculation. The virtual simulations of 2WS and 4WS vehicles are executed, extracting all the data interesting the vehicle stability; it needs the distinction between manoeuvrability and handling. The simulations of two different tests are executed: the elk test like manoeuvrability test and a similar one at …

DC4CD

2017

In this article, we present Distributed Computing for Constrained Devices (DC4CD), a novel software architecture that supports symbolic distributed computing on wireless sensor networks. DC4CD integrates the functionalities of a high-level symbolic interpreter, a compiler, and an operating system, and includes networking abstractions to exchange high-level symbolic code among peer devices. Contrarily to other architectures proposed in the literature, DC4CD allows for changes at runtime, even on deployed nodes of both application and system code. Experimental results show that DC4CD is more efficient in terms of memory usage than existing architectures, with which it also compares well in te…

LinguAPP: An m-Health Application for Teledentistry Diagnostics

2022

An Android/iOS application for low-cost mobile devices to aid in dental diagnosis through questionnaire and photos is presented in this paper. The main purposes of our app lie in the ease of use even for nonexperienced users, in the limited hardware requirements that allow a wide diffusion, and in the possibility to modify the questionnaire for different pathologies. This tool was developed in about a month at the beginning of the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic and is still in use in Italy to allow support to patients without going to the hospital, if not strictly necessary.

The role of synergies within generative models of action execution and recognition: A computational perspective. Comment on "Grasping synergies: A mo…

2015

Controlling the body – given its huge number of degrees of freedom – poses severe computational challenges. Mounting evidence suggests that the brain alleviates this problem by exploiting “synergies”, or patterns of muscle activities (and/or movement dynamics and kinematics) that can be combined to control action, rather than controlling individual muscles of joints [1–10]. D’Ausilio et al. [11] explain how this view of motor organization based on synergies can profoundly change the way we interpret studies of action recognition in humans and monkeys, and in particular the controversy on the “granularity” of the mirror neuron system (MNs): whether it encodes either (lower) kinematic aspects…

ACCERTAMENTO E VERIFICHE DELL'HANDICAP

2013

Questo studio indaga il tema dell’accertamento e delle verifiche dell’handicap nel quadro delle novelle legislative che affidano all’Istituto Nazionale della Previdenza Sociale (Inps) la regia dell’intero sistema di accertamento. Uno spazio significativo è, inoltre, dedicato all’istituto dell’accertamento tecnico preven- tivo obbligatorio, importante strumento di deflazionamento del contenzioso previdenziale. This study explores the theme of assessment and verification of handicap in the contest of the legislative novels that make National Social Security Institute (Inps) run the entire system of assessment. A significant space is also dedicated to the institute of technical appraisal requi…
