Il testo propone un articolato commento alle posizioni teoriche e alle linee di ricerca progettuale espresse da Michele Argentino, professore ordinario di Design a Palermo circa la necessità di riconquistare il ruolo sociale alla creatività individuale, riprendendosi il desiderio di diventare nuovamente "Homo Faber". Il testo inoltre presenta gli obiettivi della nuova collana scientifica - diretta dall'autrice - dal Titolo " Design e Contesti": intercettare ambiti di ricerca trasversali alle discipline del progetto, favorire gli intrecci tra idee progettuali e percorsi di innovazione socio-culturale, sviluppare nuove strategie produttive compatibili con i diversi aspetti della sostenibilità.
Differences in social representation of blood donation between donors and non-donors: an empirical study
2016
Background. Both donors and non-donors have a positive image of blood donation, so donors and non-donors do not differ regarding their views on donation but do differ in converting their opinion into an active deed of donation. Several studies have identified altruism and empathy as the main factors underlying blood donation. However, a mixture of various motivational factors mould the complex behaviour of donation. This paper presents an exploratory study on differences of social representations of blood donation between blood donors and non-donors, in order to understand the reasons that bring someone to take the decision to become a blood donor. Materials and methods. Participants filled…

Identifying modularity structure of a genetic network in gene expression profile data
2009
Aim of this paper is to define a new statistical framework to identify central modules in Gaussian Graphical Models (GGMs) estimated by gene expression data measured on a sample of patients with negative molecular response to Imatinib. Imanitib is a drug used to treat certain types of cancer that in many statistical studies has been reported to have a significant clinical effect on chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic phase as well as in blast crisis. For central module in a GGM we intend a module containing genes that are defined differently expressed.
A probabilistic compressive sensing framework with applications to ultrasound signal processing
2019
Abstract The field of Compressive Sensing (CS) has provided algorithms to reconstruct signals from a much lower number of measurements than specified by the Nyquist-Shannon theorem. There are two fundamental concepts underpinning the field of CS. The first is the use of random transformations to project high-dimensional measurements onto a much lower-dimensional domain. The second is the use of sparse regression to reconstruct the original signal. This assumes that a sparse representation exists for this signal in some known domain, manifested by a dictionary. The original formulation for CS specifies the use of an l 1 penalised regression method, the Lasso. Whilst this has worked well in l…
Optical encryption with compressive ghost imaging
2011
Ghost imaging (GI) is a novel technique where the optical information of an object is encoded in the correlation of the intensity fluctuations of a light source. Computational GI (CGI) is a variant of the standard procedure that uses a single bucket detector. Recently, we proposed to use CGI to encrypt and transmit the object information to a remote party [1]. The optical encryption scheme shows compressibility and robustness to eavesdropping attacks. The reconstruction algorithm provides a relative low quality images and requires high acquisitions times. A procedure to overcome such limitations is to combine CGI with compressive sampling (CS), an advanced signal processing theory that expl…
Introduction to Digital Signal Processing
2018
Signal processing deals with the representation, transformation, and manipulation of signals and the information they contain. Typical examples include extracting the pure signals from a mixture observation (a field commonly known as deconvolution) or particular signal (frequency) components from noisy observations (generally known as filtering). This chapter outlines the basics of signal processing and then introduces the more advanced concepts of time‐frequency and time‐scale representations, as well as emerging fields of compressed sensing and multidimensional signal processing. When moving to multidimensional signal processing, a modern approach is taken from the point of view of statis…
Performance Prevision of a Turbocharged Natural Gas Fuelled S.I. Engine
2008
Natural gas represents today maybe the most valid alternative to conventional fuels for road vehicles propulsion. The main constituent of natural gas, methane, is characterized by a high autoignition temperature, which makes the fuel highly resistant to knocking: this allows a considerable downsizing of the engine by means of supercharging even under high compression ratio. Starting from these considerations, the authors realized a thermodynamic model of a 4-cilynder s.i. engine for the prevision of in-cylinder pressure, employing a two-zone approach for the combustion and adding sub-models to account for gas properties change and knocking occurrence. An extensive experimental campaign has …
Ecrire pour reconquérir son corps
2021
Fondée par Lidia Falcón et Carmen Alcalde en 1976, Vindicación Feminista est la revue phare du féminisme espagnol de deuxième vague. Dans un pays qui sort tout juste de trente-six ans de dictature national-catholique, le magazine détonne. Moderne et irrévérencieux, il aborde sans scrupule ni tabou des thèmes comme l’homosexualité, la diversité du plaisir féminin ou la prostitution. Il s’engage également dans les grandes batailles féministes de l’époque : dépénalisation de l’adultère et de la contraception, accès au divorce, avortement libre, etc., car l’un des objectifs de Vindicación est la reconquête du corps féminin, indument accaparé par la dictature franquiste. Pour le magazine, il est…
Comment évaluer et mesurer la conflictualité liée aux usages de l'espace ? Eléments de méthode et de repérage
2010
Cet article a pour objet de présenter le travail réalisé depuis quelques années par une équipe pluridisciplinaire sur la question des conflits d’usage de l’espace et de révéler la méthodologie d’enquête et de collecte de données, ainsi que la structure de la base de données qui en est issue. Dans un premier temps nous procédons à une définition du champ des investigations, en donnant une définition de ces conflits, de leurs caractéristiques, des mobiles et des manifestations de la conflictualité, ainsi que des acteurs impliqués (I). Nous exposons ensuite notre méthode de repérage des conflits, fondée sur un diagnostic de zone et la mise en commun de différentes méthodes de recueil de donnée…
