L'estrazione automatica dei ruoli semantici corradicali. The importance of being Cognate
2022
This study will introduce a tool – termed NLPYTALY – for the automatictreatment of naturally-occurring texts in Italian. The tool distinguishesconstructs with an ordinary verb from those with a support verb. Mean-ing is rendered by using cognate (i.e. etymologically related) semantic roles (CSR), which differ from other roles because they are expressed withthe content morpheme of the predicate licensing arguments. CSRs offer anumber of advantages: they can be semi-automatically derived and use the who-does-what model. Besides, they facilitate the detection of anaphoric chains and produce a foreground/background opposition of the namedentities. Finally, they permit the construction of a chro…
High-resolution far-field integral-imaging camera by double snapshot
2012
In multi-view three-dimensional imaging, to capture the elemental images of distant objects, the use of a field-like lens that projects the reference plane onto the microlens array is necessary. In this case, the spatial resolution of reconstructed images is equal to the spatial density of microlenses in the array. In this paper we report a simple method, based on the realization of double snapshots, to double the 2D pixel density of reconstructed scenes. Experiments are reported to support the proposed approach.
New Method of Microimages Generation for 3D Display
2018
In this paper, we propose a new method for the generation of microimages, which processes real 3D scenes captured with any method that permits the extraction of its depth information. The depth map of the scene, together with its color information, is used to create a point cloud. A set of elemental images of this point cloud is captured synthetically and from it the microimages are computed. The main feature of this method is that the reference plane of displayed images can be set at will, while the empty pixels are avoided. Another advantage of the method is that the center point of displayed images and also their scale and field of view can be set. To show the final results, a 3D InI dis…
The role of network connectivity on epileptiform activity.
2021
AbstractA number of potentially important mechanisms have been identified as key players to generate epileptiform activity, such as genetic mutations, activity-dependent alteration of synaptic functions, and functional network reorganization at the macroscopic level. Here we study how network connectivity at cellular level can affect the onset of epileptiform activity, using computational model networks with different wiring properties. The model suggests that networks connected as in real brain circuits are more resistant to generate seizure-like activity. The results suggest new experimentally testable predictions on the cellular network connectivity in epileptic individuals, and highligh…
The Cross-Level Moderation Effect of Resource-Providing Leadership on the Demands—Work Ability Relationship
2021
Employees in female-dominated sectors are exposed to high workloads, emotional job demands, and role ambiguity, and often have insufficient resources to deal with these demands. This imbalance causes strain, threatening employees’ work ability. The aim of this study was to examine whether resource-providing leadership at the workplace level buffers against the negative repercussions of these job demands on work ability. Employees (N = 2383) from 290 work groups across three countries (Germany, Finland, and Sweden) in female-dominated sectors were asked to complete questionnaires in this study. Employees rated their immediate supervisor’s resource-providing leadership and also self-reported …
Behaviour of Nb2O5/PPy contacts: From Schottky barriers to p-n junctions
2009
In this work, a study of the photoelectrochemical responses of Nb O /PPy contacts fabricated in both organic 2 5 and aqueous solutions is performed. From the comparison between the experimental data of PPy photodeposited on Nb O in organic and in aqueous solutions, it is evident that the medium used for the photodeposition 2 5 influences the absorption coefficient, the band gap and flat band potential values.
Controlling the thermoelectric properties of polymers: application to PEDOT and polypyrrole
2015
Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and polypyrrole (PPy) films have been prepared by an electrochemical method in a three electrode cell. The films have been obtained at different oxidation levels regarded as bipolaron, polaron and neutral states by varying the voltage, as is usually done in conjugated heterocyclic polymers. The voltage (-0.2V1.0 V) has been applied versus a Ag/AgCl reference electrode, producing a variation of one order of magnitude in the electrical conductivity and the Seebeck coefficient of the films. In the voltage range explored, the electrical conductivity increases from 80 to 766 S cm(-1) in PEDOT and from 15 to 160 S cm(-1) in PPy, while the Seebeck coefficie…
A new BEDT-TTF salt and polypyrrole films containing the chiral polyoxometalate [H4Co2Mo10O38]6−
2005
Abstract The chiral polyoxometalate [H4Co2Mo10O38]6− has been used in the preparation of hybrid materials in the form of crystals or polymeric films. A new radical salt of the donor bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF or ET) containing the two enantiomers of this polyoxometalate has been obtained by electrocrystallization. This radical salt shows semiconducting behavior with room temperature conductivity of 9 S.cm−1 and activation energy of 40 meV. Polypyrrole films doped with a racemic mixture of polyoxometalates and also the enantiomerically pure (+)589-[H4Co2Mo10O38]6− have been prepared electrochemically. Circular dichroism experiments suggest that the chiral polyoxometalate…
Memory effects in functionalized conducting polymer films: titanocene derivatized polypyrrole in contact with THF solutions
2003
Abstract Films with a polypyrrole matrix and pendant titanocene dichloride centers, p(Tc3Py), have been obtained by potentiostatic electropolymerization of the titanocene-pyrrolyl derivative, Tc3Py=Tc(CH 2 ) 3 NC 4 H 4 (Tc=Cl 2 TiCpCp′, Cp=C 5 H 5 , Cp′=C 5 H 4 ), in acetonitrile (AN) solutions on a Pt surface. The redox activity has been studied after the transfer of the film-coated electrode into the monomer-free solution of the same electrolyte, TBAPF 6 , in THF. Contrary to the case of AN or dichloromethane solutions, one can achieve a stable redox activity of the immobilized Tc centers in THF solutions during a series of cycles. A parallel between the redox properties of the Tc complex…
Mass/charge balance as a tool to estimate dimensional change in polypyrrole-based actuators
2006
The deconvolution of the voltammograms of polypyrrole electrochemistry has proved to be possible through the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance data using the F(dm/dQ) function. This deconvolution allows the evolution of the thickness of the polypyrrole films during their redox processes to be estimated and therefore, the mechanical contraction/decontraction of this polymer as a function of the ionic exchange processes can be evaluated.
