LINKAGE DISEQUILIBRIUM AND GENETIC DIVERSITY IN TWO SICILIAN CATTLE BREEDS ASSESSED BY BOVINE SNP CHIP
2013
The Modicana (MOD) and Cinisara (CIN) are two Sicilian cattle breeds farmed in extensive systems and their economic importance lies on the traditional making of two typical ‘pasta filata’ cheeses. The aim of this study was to explore the genetic structure and the extent of Linkage Disequilibrium (LD) of MOD and CIN cattle breeds. A total of 144 animals were genotyped, using the Bovine SNP50K v2 BeadChip. The squared correlation coefficient between two loci (r2) was used as a measure of LD. Principal components analysis (PCA), molecular inbreeding (F) and Bayesian clustering algorithm (Pritchard et al., 2000) were used to explore the relationship between individuals and populations. The r2 r…
Evolution of indigenous starter microorganisms and physicochemical parameters in spontaneously fermented beef, horse, wild boar and pork salamis prod…
2020
Abstract The present work was carried out to evaluate the microbiological and physicochemical composition of salamis produced with the meat of beef, horse, wild boar and pork. Salami productions occurred under controlled laboratory conditions to exclude butchery environmental contaminations, without the addition of nitrate and nitrite. All trials were monitored during the ripening (13 °C and 90% relative humidity) extended until 45 d. The evolution of physicochemical parameters showed that beef and pork salamis were characterized by a higher content of branched chain fatty acids (FA) and rumenic acid than horse and wild boar salamis, whereas the last two productions showed higher values of …
Assessment of indoor illuminance and study on best photosensors' position for design and commissioning of Daylight Linked Control Systems. A new meth…
2018
Abstract Artificial lighting systems have to ensure appropriate illuminance with high energy efficiency according to best design practice and technical standards. These aims can be tackled, by incorporating a Daylight linked control system. However, the system behaviour is strongly influenced by several factors and, in particular, by the sensors' position. Indeed, very often the illuminance on work-plane is not fully correlated with illuminance measured by the photo-sensor used to control the luminaires. This fact leads to wrong information for the Daylight linked control systems affecting its efficacy. The artificial intelligence of Neural Networks can be exploited to provide a method for …
Valorizzazione e conservazione delle opere d'arte attraverso un'appropiata scelta dello spettro della sorgente luminosa
2011
La crescente domanda di cultura, insieme con il miglioramento delle condizioni di vivibilità all'interno degli spazi espositivi, incoraggia le persone a trascorrere una crescente quantità di tempo nei musei dove, insieme con mostre di manufatti ed opere d’arte e documenti storici, hanno spesso luogo cene conviviali, concerti musicali e sessioni d’ascolto. Tutti questi diversi modi di usufruire degli spazi museali richiedono una maggiore attenzione nei riguardi della qualità dell'ambiente interno con l'obiettivo di garantire comfort delle persone, oltre alle condizioni ottimali per la conservazione e l’esposizione delle opere d’arte. In sostanza, agli spazi confinati destinati all’esposizion…
PROGETTO FACTOR 20 Sostenibilità energetico-ambientale nei comuni siciliani
2013
Il progetto LIFE08 ENV/IT/000430 - Factor 20 è finalizzato alla definizione e promozione di un set di strumenti di supporto alla pianificazione energetica regionale e locale. il fine è quello di perseguire gli obiettivi del Pacchetto Clima Energia 20-20-20: Ridurre del 20% l'emissione di gas clima-alteranti prodotti rispetto ai livelli del 1990 (superando largamente quanto previsto dal Protocollo di Kyoto) Soddisfare i consumi energetici con almeno il 20% di energia prodotta da fonte rinnovabile Migliorare l’efficienza energetica nell’Unione Europea riducendo del 20% il fabbisogno di energia primaria. La ricerca svolta dal Dipartimento dell'Energia, Ingegneria dell'informazione e dei …
A Simulation of daylight levels for the determination of visual comfort in large spaces
2007
In sizable environments, such as the collective areas of a big university building, characterised by very long corridors, large hallways and broad glazed surfaces, the daytime illumination factor is often only excellent near to the latter, due to their predominantly horizontal, rather than vertical, nature. His study, which has been carried out thanks to a simulation software, shows the results of a correlation between light contributions, come out from the wide glass surface and those of a big skylight which cross lenghtways the main part of the building. Such results have been compared with some instrumental measurements considering the shifting and getting from them important information…

Alcuni indici per la valutazione dei sistemi di controllo per l’illuminazione
2018
Gli edifici smart hanno visto negli ultimi anni una sempre più ampia diffusione. Per questo motivo ricercatori, progettisti e tecnici, hanno posto una crescente attenzione sull’utilizzo di sistemi di controllo automatici per l’illuminazione. Questa tipologia di sistemi gioca, infatti, un ruolo chiave nel raggiungimento di significativi riduzioni dei consumi elettrici e dei benefici legati all’utilizzo della luce naturale (ad esempio il comfort visivo degli occupanti, il benessere e la produttività). È prassi comune, durante la fase progettuale, correlare il risparmio energetico con la disponibilità della luce diurna, poiché risulta un obiettivo rilevante per progettisti e architetti.
Homomorphic Approach to RF-Inhomogeneity Removal Based on Gabor Filter
2007
In this paper a bias correction algorithm for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is presented. The magnetic resonance (MR) images affected by this artifact, also called RF-inhomogeneity, exhibit irregular spatial brightness variations caused by magnetic field inhomogeneity. Here we present an original algorithm based on E2D - HUM, already proposed by some of the authors, where a modified Gabor filter is introduced in the elaboration chain to provide directional capabilities to suppress the artifact. The process of restoration doesn't care about the structure of the image and it has been applied to MR images of different parts of body like knee, abdomen, pelvis and brain. A comparison with oth…
