Modelling the transient behaviour of a MED-TVC plant for coupling with CSP
2015
In this paper a dynamic model for the MED-TVC process has been developed and valided by a comparison with data from a real plant situated in Trapani, Italy, composed by 12 effects with parallel-feed configuration and equipped with a medium-pressure steam vapour ejector.
Application and assessment of IDEF3‐process flow description capture method
1995
The IDEF techniques have been developed in projects sponsored by the US Air Force in order to describe, specify and model manufacturing systems in a structured graphical form. These techniques can be classified in two categories: the “modelling” and the “descriptive” varieties. Compares two IDEF methods (one of the modelling type and one of the descriptive type) in order to represent (model or describe) two different aspects of an industrial organization. The methods compared are IDEF0, function modelling method, and IDEF3, process flow description capture method. Concludes that when considering the sequencing of the activities in process, aiming at highlighting their eventual simultaneity,…
Fare i conti con i fantasmi. Properzio 4.7
2017
In "Properzio dopo duemila anni", pubblicato nel 1987 su "MD", Maurizio Bettini esortava a offrire una interpretazione dell'elegia latina in grado di fare i conti non solo con i suoi debiti letterari, ma anche con conquiste e modelli culturali in essa rappresentati. Scegliendo, come testo di riferimento, una delle molte elegie in cui Properzio fa i conti con i propri fantasmi, la 4.7, questo saggio prova a confrontarsi con quell'invito di metodo e con quanto è stato fatto per ripercorrere l'esperienza elegiaca dal punto di vista antropologico.
DgCox: a differential geometric approach for high-dimensional Cox proportional hazard models
2014
Many clinical and epidemiological studies rely on survival modelling to detect clinically relevant factors that affect various event histories. With the introduction of high-throughput technologies in the clinical and even large-scale epidemiological studies, the need for inference tools that are able to deal with fat data-structures, i.e., relatively small number of observations compared to the number of features, is becoming more prominent. This paper will introduce a principled sparse inference methodology for proportional hazards modelling, based on differential geometrical analyses of the high-dimensional likelihood surface.
Utilizzo di modelli bimodali per la descrizione della curva di ritenzione idrica del suolo
2013
L’approfondimento dell’influenza della struttura sulle caratteristiche di ritenzione idrica del suolo può contribuire alla risoluzione dei problemi legati all’eterogeneità del mezzo poroso ed anche alla quantificazione della qualità fisica del suolo. In particolare, nei suoli naturali strutturati, la presenza di un dominio dei pori strutturali (porosità inter-aggregati) e di un dominio dei pori matriciali (porosità intra-aggregati) può essere descritta mediante un’espressione della curva di ritenzione idrica di tipo bi-modale. L’indagine ha riguardato 40 suoli siciliani, per i quali è stato applicato alle misure sperimentali di ritenzione idrica il modello bimodale proposto da Dexter et al.…
Prostituzione. Aporie e tabù di un nuovo diritto penale tutorio
2018
Molteplici sono le forme attraverso le quali la prostituzione può essere esercitata e plurimi sono i suoi modelli normativi di regolamentazione: tradizionalmente, si contendono il campo il proibizionismo, il regolamentarismo e l’abolizionismo; più di recente la c.d. decriminalizzazione e il c.d. neo-proibizionismo. In questo volume, dopo una breve disamina delle possibili forme e dei plurimi significati della prostituzione, ci si sofferma preliminarmente su alcuni ordinamenti-tipo che presentano caratteristiche peculiari ora dell’uno ora dell’altro dei modelli normativi attuabili, tenendo conto anche di recenti e significative sentenze di talune Corti supreme in ordinamenti di tipo abolizio…
A practical protocol for calibration of nutrient removal wastewater treatment models
2011
Activated sludge models can be very useful for designing and managing wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). However, as with every model, they need to be calibrated for correct and reliable application. Activated sludge model calibration is still a crucial point that needs appropriate guidance. Indeed, although calibration protocols have been developed, the model calibration still represents the main bottleneck to modelling. This paper presents a procedure for the calibration of an activated sludge model based on a comprehensive sensitivity analysis and a novel step-wise Monte Carlo-based calibration of the subset of influential parameters. In the proposed procedure the complex calibration i…
Dove va la psicoterapia? Dove va la COIRAG?
2009
Where is psychotherapy going? Where is COIRAG going? - This note means to call attention to the present frontiers of psychotherapy based on the concepts of multiplicity, project planning, complexity, integrations, valuation, etc. Group thought and group clinic are identified as great ways of contributing significantly to the present evolution of psychotherapy in the world. Attention to theoretical models and to membership must be laicized and integrated with attention to standard procedures, working methods, the setting up of a personalized cure plan for each single patient, as well as to empirical, clinical and theoretical research. Moreover, the high potential today of adopting an analyti…
Characterizing the Theory of Mind Network in Schizophrenia Reveals a Sparser Network Structure
2021
AbstractImpaired social functioning is a hallmark of schizophrenia and altered functional integration between distant brain regions are expected to account for signs and symptoms of the disorder. The functional neuroarchitecture of a network relevant for social functioning, the mentalizing network, is however poorly understood. In this study we examined dysfunctions of the mentalizing network in patients with schizophrenia compared to healthy controls via dynamic causal modelling and an interactive social decision-making game. Network characteristics were analyzed on a single subject basis whereas graph theoretic metrics such as in-degree, out-degree and edge-connectivity per network node w…
Let's End HepC: modelling public health epidemiological policies applied to Hepatitis C in Spain
2022
Background: The WHO has defined international targets toward the elimination of hepatitis C by 2030. Most countries cannot be on track to achieve this goal unless many challenges are surpassed. The Let's End HepC (LEHC) tool aims to contribute to the control of hepatitis C. The innovation of this tool combines the modelling of public health policies (PHP) focused on hepatitis C with epidemiological modelling of the disease, obtaining a unique result that allows to forecast the impact of policy outcomes. The model was applied to several countries, including Spain.Methods: To address the stated objective, we applied the “Adaptive Conjoint Analysis” for PHP decision-making and Markov Chains in…
