Streaming for vehicular users via elastic proxy buffer management
2004
In this article we refer to the market of vehicular networks, where groups of customers located in the same public vehicle (e.g., a train or bus) connect to a terrestrial network through a wireless/satellite backbone link. Elastic buffering is a proxy management technique devised to decouple the multimedia information retrieval rate on the network backbone from the playout streaming rate at the user terminal. It has been shown in the past that the application of elastic buffering mechanisms in terrestrial networks brings significant advantages in terms of network effectiveness. We show that elastic buffering is an extremely effective means to reduce, or even eliminate, streaming service out…
L'Alta Velocità in Cina. Politiche, strategie, territori
2014
High Speed railways in China. Policies, strategies and territories. by Marc Guigon The history of High-Speed railways in China is not a linear one, traced in the course of a rigorous planning process. It has on the contrary experienced moments of rapid surge, only to be followed by periods of slower growth. Fervid action, decision-making and euphoria have been accompanied by scathing failures, against a background of corruption and complex relations with the foreign providers of fundamental technology. The ! nal result is noteworthy however, because China currently has the largest High-Speed railroad network in the world, with a very high level of customer satisfaction, though the cost has …
L'infrastruttura scomparsa. Il nuovo suolo della stazione Sagrera Alta Velocità a Barcellona
2014
The vanishing infrastructure. The new ground of the Sagrera High-Speed railway station in Barcelona The current railway station mega-project in Barcelona Sagrera highlights the link between the construction of the new High- Speed station and a vast linear park that will cover the existing railroad tracks. In the framework of one of the largest and most ambitious railway and urban redevelopment projects currently underway in all of Europe, this article focuses on the subordination of the Station to the park, which apart from being a mere issue of location (the station is literally under the park), can be reframed within a theoretical debate on the role of architecture in these truly signific…
Trasporti, cultura, architettura: presentazione del numero 38 di T&C a Palermo
2015
L'articolo fornisce un contributo al chiarimento del rapporto che il progetto dell’edificio di infrastruttura ha oggi con la città contemporanea e, al tempo stesso, con le questioni disciplinari in cui si inquadra. Contribuendo alla sintesi di conoscenze e orizzonti progettuali a lungo ritenuti incompatibili, il nuovo intenso scambio fra le infrastrutture dei trasporti e l'architettura degli edifici e della città segna il periodo contemporaneo. The article adresses the relationship between infrastructural buildings and architectural design in contemporary urban setting, moreover looking at the disciplinary realignement in which this relaionship is framed. Contributing to the synthesis of kn…
LA CITTÁ DOPO IL PROGRESSO: LA STAZIONE DI STOCCARDA E L’AEROPORTO DI BERLINO
2014
The city post-progress: the station in Stuttgart and the airport in Berlin. by Florian Hertweck. In 2012 the Biennale di Venezia dedicated an entire room to the Hamburg Philharmonic. This was a tribute to the project by Herzog and De Meuron, but not for its splendid architecture, rather for the disaster represented by its construction. In a country which has built its identity around its faith in progress and growth, as much as its capacity for developing, on the national scale, a complex of technical, social and cultural infrastructures that is among the most competitive in the world, the inability to bring projects of this scope to term reveals a change in paradigm. In fact, the failure o…
STAZIONI DELL’ALTA VELOCITÁ IN GIAPPONE. TIPOLOGIA ARCHITETTONICA E URBANA DI UN MODELLO PRAGMATICO

High-Speed railway stations in Japan. The architectural and urban typology of a pragmatic model. By Corinne Tiry-Ono The Japanese high-speed railway service was launched in 1964, during a time of rapid economic and demographic growth. It gave birth to a new, standardized generation of railway stations, and embodied the Tokaido Megalopolis. Originally centred on the capital city, its network now stretches across the entire country, seeking a better balance in terms of regional economic development and the revitalization of peripheral areas. Topographical constraints, natural risks and technical choices (elevated tracks, frequent tunnels, and speci! c rail gauge) led to a physically and techn…

Fra le reti e la città. Lo spazio delle nuove stazioni per l'Alta Velocità
2014
Between networks and cities: Architectural space in the new High-Speed train stations. Over the past thirty years, megainvestment rail projects in Western Europe have become powerful transformation vectors. An extensive literature addresses the issue with an urban engineering oriented approach, concerned primarily with the large scale and focusing on governance and urban planning. This monograph section of “Trasporti & Cultura” examines the relationship of new high-speed railroad stations to their cities. The objective is to investigate the depth and meaning of the transformations being wrought by the new stations, in a comparative international scenario. Articles on Japan and China are fol…
Zu ausgewählten Aspekten der deutschen Eisenbahnterminologie
2020
Niniejszy artykuł prezentuje wybrane strategie nazewnicze, które wpływają na powstawanie terminów fachowych w branży kolejnictwa. Jednym z jego celów jest ukazanie, że forma tych pojęć jest w głównej mierze uzależniona od takich aspektów jak ekonomia językowa i ‘tendencja do uwidaczniania’. Krótki rys historyczny i szczególne podkreślenie znaczenia kognitywnej funkcji języków fachowych tworzą ramy niniejszej analizy, z jednej strony podkreślając wagę omawianego zagadnienia, z drugiej zaś wskazując na wielowymiarowy charakter uzyskanych wyników.
Einige Bemerkungen zu den produktivsten Wortbildungsstrategien in der deutschen Fachterminologie des Eisenbahnwesens unter der kontrastiven Berücksic…

Abstract This article is dedicated to present the most common word-formation strategies in German railway specialist terminology. The presentation of the most productive morphological nomination strategies in the analysed area is preceded by a short historical outline of the railway industry in Germany. The adumbration of the historical background and hints regarding the current EU environmental plans for railways are intended to expose the importance and relentless currency of the analysis undertaken here. The presented examples, which were extracted from the most extensive industry terminology database, RaiLLexic, have been correlated with their Polish equivalents. This contrastive proced…
