A Multi-Projector Calibration Method for Virtual Reality Simulators with Analytically Defined Screens
2017
The geometric calibration of projectors is a demanding task, particularly for the industry of virtual reality simulators. Different methods have been developed during the last decades to retrieve the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of projectors, most of them being based on planar homographies and some requiring an extended calibration process. The aim of our research work is to design a fast and user-friendly method to provide multi-projector calibration on analytically defined screens, where a sample is shown for a virtual reality Formula 1 simulator that has a cylindrical screen. The proposed method results from the combination of surveying, photogrammetry and image processing approac…
Mondi virtuali e realtà virtuale. Un’analisi del fenomeno nella formazione sanitaria
2019
Negli ultimi sei anni la realtà virtuale (VR) e i mondi virtuali (VE) sono diventati sempre più tecnologicamente avanzati e molto più accessibili per quel che riguarda l’accesso economico. In sanità essi vengono utilizzati principalmente per cinque scopi: formazione degli studenti; formazione dei professionisti (simulatori); riabilitazione/terapia; cura/diagnosi e gestione del dolore. In questa review abbiamo analizzato 2.252 articoli pubblicati tra il 2012 e il 2019 su PubMed ed abbiamo organizzato gli articoli nelle aree simulazione per studenti; simulazione per specializzandi; simulazione avanzata per professionisti; applicazioni nei campi medico/dentale/infermieristico (soft skills); re…
Da Positano a Sapri: la rete di "sguardi" del sistema difensivo costiero
2016
The aim of the paper is to deepen the cognitive analysis of the coastal “Torreggiamento” of the province of Salerno, focusing not so much on individual products, but rather on the entire defence system of the coastal territory in the Viceregal era. It is a dense network of towers, located in careful strategic points, with the purpose to control the coast and identify on time the pirate attacks. Through the analysis and comparison of ancient maps, got until now, we want focus the attention on the visual communication between the towers, or on the “dialogue” that entertain each other the different artefacts. There will be a comparison between the original project of dislocation of the towers …
Unethical but not illegal: Uncovering the persuasive messages leveraged by providers of the “real” online social impressions
2018
Due to the drastically elevated prominence of social networking sites (SNS), online social impressions such as views, comments, followers, subscribers, likes, and dislikes have become a valuable currency that translates to popularity, credibility, and even financial gains. Aside from machine-generated impressions, a growing industry known as crowdturfing utilizes human workers to provide “real” social impressions as-a-service. Although crowdturfing platforms are often seen as a clear example of deceptive conduct, they justify their business by leveraging well-crafted persuasive strategies and ethical appeals. Given the increasingly significant role of online impressions on shaping people’s …
The hierarchy of needs for user experiences in virtual reality
2021
Virtual reality (VR) is rapidly becoming more widely adopted by various industries, and virtual content is just as rapidly becoming available for consumers. However, there is a lack of guidelines and standards for VR content to be held to in terms of experiential design. Because VR is a relatively new media form for consumers, there is a high risk of user attrition due to the novelty of the service. Therefore, if the first experience of the technology is with poorly made content, users will be much less likely to use VR again. Therefore, as various industries and organizations digitalize and adopt emerging technology such as VR, great care should be given to the way the virtual content and …
Tutela e valorizzazione integrata del patrimonio culturale dei siti Unesco. Il caso del sito seriale "Palermo arabo-normanna e le Cattedrali di Cefal…
2018
L'inserimento di un bene architettonico, monumentale, paesaggistico o addirittura immateriale tra i beni tutelati dall'Unesco è divenuto un elemento qualificante del diritto dei beni culturali, ma con refluenze rilevanti anche di tipo economico e (soprattutto per i primi) urbanistico. L'iscrizione nella lista del patrimonio dell'Umanità (World heritage list-WHL) di beni e complessi di beni "di eccezionale valore universale" (outstanding universal value) è, infatti, preordinata alla identificazione, protezione, conservazione, valorizzazione e trasmissione alle generazioni future del patrimonio culturale e naturale. Come meglio si dirà la cultura giuridica riconduce, in termini sistematici, l…
RICONOSCIMENTO DELLA REALTA' ED ESISTENZA PERSONALE. LA CRITICA DEL "NUOVO REALISMO" AL PENSIERO DEBOLE E IL SUO SIGNIFICATO NELLA PROSPETTIVA DI UN'…
2014
This article aims to analyse critically the so-called “new realism” and to evaluate its pedagogical and educational consequences. By examining the objections made by this philosophy to the postmodernist culture, the author agrees on some aspects of its theory of knowledge. On the other hand, the article highlights the lack of adequate anthropology and possible consequences of the “new realism” on educational thought and practice. The proposal of an ontology of the person wellestablished in the tradition of phenomenological realism is seen as dialectics of the “new realism”.

Advantages of Hyaluronic Acid and Its Combination with Other Bioactive Ingredients in Cosmeceuticals
2021
This study proposes a review on hyaluronic acid (HA) known as hyaluronan or hyaluronate and its derivates and their application in cosmetic formulations. HA is a glycosaminoglycan constituted from two disaccharides (N-acetylglucosamine and D-glucuronic acid), isolated initially from the vitreous humour of the eye, and subsequently discovered in different tissues or fluids (especially in the articular cartilage and the synovial fluid). It is ubiquitous in vertebrates, including humans, and it is involved in diverse biological processes, such as cell differentiation, embryological development, inflammation, wound healing, etc. HA has many qualities that recommend it over other substances used…
miRNome Profiling Detects miR-101-3p and miR-142-5p as Putative Blood Biomarkers of Frailty Syndrome
2022
Frailty is an aging-related pathology, defined as a state of increased vulnerability to stressors, leading to a limited capacity to meet homeostatic demands. Extracellular microRNAs (miRNAs) were proposed as potential biomarkers of various disease conditions, including age-related pathologies. The primary objective of this study was to identify blood miRNAs that could serve as potential biomarkers and candidate mechanisms of frailty. Using the Fried index, we enrolled 22 robust and 19 frail subjects. Blood and urine samples were analysed for several biochemical parameters. We observed that sTNF-R was robustly upregulated in the frail group, indicating the presence of an inflammatory state. …
