La DaD nell’emergenza Covid19: restrizione spaziale e sfida per una nuova temporalizzazione
2020
L’introduzione della DaD nell’università, come risposta di emergenza alla pandemia del Covid19, ha comportato inevitabilmente il sacrificio della dimensione spaziale nel percorso formativo degli studenti e nella loro socialità. Questa restrizione, tuttavia, può creare il presupposto per riguadagnare in intensità ciò che si perde in estensione e ripensare, in termini filosofici, il rapporto tra temporalizzazione e spazializzazione nel processo di costruzione della personalità nella sua coscienza storica. The introduction of the DDA in the university, as an emergency response to the Covid19 pandemic, inevitably entailed the sacrifice of the spatial dimension in the training of students and in…
Due note etimologiche circostanziali circa il Ms.II.D.54 (BNN) attribuito a Baffi
2019
Within the investigations on the attribution of some manuscripts to the famous philologist P. Baffi and now kept at the National Library of Naples (BNN), this brief contribution investigates in detail some of the passages contained in Ms.II.D.54 (f. 234r et f. 325r), in order to understand its meaning and to evaluate and validate its attributing hypotheses.
Design and analysis of non-linear circuit with tunnel diode for hybrid control systems
2018
Electric circuits with tunnel diode's represent a classical example of dynamic systems with nonlinearities, which feature piecewise negative damping and multiple equilibria and, as consequence, nontrivial trajectories in the state-space. In this paper, we describe the experimental design and analysis of an electrical circuit, including a tunnel diode, allowing for a storage behavior with bistable output voltage states - low and high. The system is modeled for simulation and an experimental setup is designed and implemented in order to run a formal verification on different tools, applying a variety of hybrid control methods. The nonlinear diode's characteristic curve is experimentally deter…
Dynamics of quantum discord of two coupled spin-1/2’s subjected to time-dependent magnetic fields
2019
Abstract We describe the dynamics of quantum discord of two interacting spin-1/2’s subjected to controllable time-dependent magnetic fields. The exact time evolution of discord is given for various input mixed states consisting of classical mixtures of two Bell states. The quantum discord manifests a complex oscillatory behaviour in time and is compared with that of quantum entanglement, measured by concurrence. The interplay of the action of the time-dependent magnetic fields and the spin-coupling mechanism in the occurrence and evolution of quantum correlations is examined in detail.
A Novel Fault-Tolerant Routing Algorithm for Mesh-of-Tree Based Network-on-Chips
2019
Use of bus architecture based communication with increasing processing elements in System-on-Chip (SoC) leads to severe degradation of performance and speed of the system. This bottleneck is overcome with the introduction of Network-on-Chips (NoCs). NoCs assist in communication between cores on a single chip using router based packet switching technique. Due to miniaturization, NoCs like every Integrated circuit is prone to different kinds of faults which can be transient, intermittent or permanent. A fault in any one component of such a crucial network can degrade performance leaving other components non-usable. This paper presents a novel Fault-Tolerant routing Algorithm for Mesh-of-Tree …
Silicon dosimeters based on Floating Gate Sensor: design, implementation and characterization
2020
A rad-hard monolithic dosimeter has been implemented and characterized in a standard 180 nm CMOS technology. The radiation sensor (C-sensor) is based on a Floating Gate (FG) MOS discharge principle. The output current is processed by a current-to-voltage (I/V) interface and then converted by a 5-bit flash ADC. The dosimeter is re-usable (FG can be recharged) and can detect a dose up to 1krad (Si) with a resolution of 30rad (Si) typical over temperature 0 to 85°C range. The ADC allows easy further signal processing for calibration and averaging, etc. The power consumption of C-sensor plus I/V interface is < 2mW from a 5 V power supply. The overall layout area is less than 0.25mm2. The Rad…
Contrasting topologies for regular interconnection networks under the constraints of nanoscale silicon technology
2010
Nowadays, system designers have adopted Networks-on-Chip as communication infrastructure of general-purpose tile-based Multi-Processor System-on-Chip (MPSoC). Such decision implies that a certain topology has to be selected to efficiently interconnect many cores on the chip. To ease such a choice, the networking literature offers a plethora of works about topology analysis and characterization for the off-chip domain. However, theoretical parameters and many intuitive assumptions of such off-chip networks do not necessarily hold when a topology is laid out on a 2D silicon surface. This is due to the distinctive features of silicon technology design pitfalls. This work is a first milestone t…
Run-time scalable NoC for FPGA based virtualized IPs
2017
The integration of virtualized FPGA-based hardware accelerators in a cloud computing is progressing from time to time. As the FPGA has limited resources, the dynamic partial reconfiguration capability of the FPGA is considered to share resources among different virtualized IPs during runtime. On the other hand, the NoC is a promising solution for communication among virtualized FPGA-based IPs. However, not all the virtualized regions of the FPGA will be active all the time. When there is no demand for virtualized IPs, the virtualized regions are loaded with blank bitstreams to save power. However, keeping active the idle components of the NoC connecting with the idle virtualized regions is …
Computer-aided analysis and design procedure for rotating induction machine magnetic circuits and windings
2018
The aim of this study is to present a new, accurate, and user-friendly software procedure for the analysis and rapid design of rotating induction machine windings, considering both the electric and the magnetic specifications of the machine itself. This procedure is a valid aid for quick first stage design without the necessity of using finite element method (FEM)-based design procedures. FEM can be used in a second design phase in order to refine the first stage results. The design procedure is hereafter outlined and some examples show its capability.
Viewpoint: Atomic-Scale Design Protocols toward Energy, Electronic, Catalysis, and Sensing Applications
2019
Nanostructured materials are essential building blocks for the fabrication of new devices for energy harvesting/storage, sensing, catalysis, magnetic, and optoelectronic applications. However, because of the increase of technological needs, it is essential to identify new functional materials and improve the properties of existing ones. The objective of this Viewpoint is to examine the state of the art of atomic-scale simulative and experimental protocols aimed to the design of novel functional nanostructured materials, and to present new perspectives in the relative fields. This is the result of the debates of Symposium I "Atomic-scale design protocols towards energy, electronic, catalysis…
