Seeking the Important Nodes of Complex Networks in Product R&D Team Based on Fuzzy AHP and TOPSIS

2013

Published version of article in the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Alo available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/327592 Open Access How to seek the important nodes of complex networks in product research and development (R&D) team is particularly important for companies engaged in creativity and innovation. The previous literature mainly uses several single indicators to assess the node importance; this paper proposes a multiple attribute decision making model to tentatively solve these problems. Firstly, choose eight indicators as the evaluation criteria, four from centralization of complex networks: degree centrality, betweenness centrality, closeness…

Robust Design of Automated Guided Vehicles System in an FMS

1996

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV), as material handling systems, are widely diffused in FMS environment. The design of such a system involves the selection of the most suitable lay-out on one hand, and the choice of the “optimal” level of some parameters such as the number of vehicles. machine buffer capacity, the number of pallets, vehicle and part dispatching rules, etc. on the other. The optimal combination of these factor levels, that maximises a certain output variable, could be uncovered by Response Surface Methodology (RSM). But two are the problems that immediately arise in the application of such a technique: how to consider the qualitative variables, like dispatching or loading rule…

U.I.R.D.A. – Unbuilt Italian Rationalism Digital Archive

2018

For twenty years, the architecture of Italian rationalism through the digital modelling has been investigated. Very often, the production of a model and the consequent representation of tridimensional views, in many case studies, as outcome of the research on architecture have been considered. Actually, the digital model, intended as a critical tool, has to be conceived as a ‘starting point' for graphic analysis of architecture and not as the outcome. Indeed, it is associated to other graphics, sometimes not ‘deducted' from the model, useful for the understanding/translation of architecture. The construction of the model is not the construction of a simple image, operation, which is often c…

Concurrent and lagged effects of counterdispositional extraversion on vitality

2020

Abstract There are two contrasting perspectives on the effects of state extraversion. One states that people benefit from behaving extraverted, regardless of their level of trait extraversion. The second entails that behaving concordant to one’s trait is natural while deviations from the trait level— counterdispositional behaviors—are effortful to maintain, leading to mental fatigue. We test the possibility that both perspectives are correct, with beneficial effects of high state extraversion showing immediately, while the depleting counterdispositional effects are delayed. Experience sampling data from 67 employees (N = 1,664), shows that extraverted behaviors are associated with high leve…

Counterdispositional Conscientiousness and Wellbeing: How Does Acting Out of Character Relate to Positive and Negative Affect at Work?

2020

Conscientiousness is typically seen as a positive or desired personality trait in the workplace, with the overall assumption being “the more, the better”. Drawing on the behavioral concordance model, we challenge this assumption, expecting that the highest level of positive affect and the lowest level of negative affect will correspond at the point where state and trait conscientiousness converge. Using an experience sampling study and an event reconstruction study, we show that deviations from one’s level of trait conscientiousness relate to variations in positive and negative affect, but not in a straightforward way. While wellbeing was lower when people behaved less conscientiously than …

Disrupting resilient criminal networks through data analysis: The case of Sicilian Mafia

2020

Compared to other types of social networks, criminal networks present hard challenges, due to their strong resilience to disruption, which poses severe hurdles to law-enforcement agencies. Herein, we borrow methods and tools from Social Network Analysis to (i) unveil the structure of Sicilian Mafia gangs, based on two real-world datasets, and (ii) gain insights as to how to efficiently disrupt them. Mafia networks have peculiar features, due to the links distribution and strength, which makes them very different from other social networks, and extremely robust to exogenous perturbations. Analysts are also faced with the difficulty in collecting reliable datasets that accurately describe the…

Einfluß der Nahrungsaufnahme auf die Magenentleerung magensaftresistenter Tabletten und Kapseln*

2008

To test the effect of food intake on gastric emptying of gastric juice-resistant drugs, emptying time of a 11 x 6 mm tablet and a 20 x 7 mm capsule was measured by means of a metal detector in 10 healthy persons (5 men and 5 women; mean age 25 [18-30] years) after fasting and after eating three main and three in-between meals. After fasting the tablets left the stomach after 78 +/- 18 min, the capsules after 60 +/- 16 min, while meal intake delayed emptying by a factor of 10 to 12 +/- 1.3 hours and 10 +/- 1.8 hours, respectively. The slightly shorter emptying time of capsules was statistically not significant. The results indicate that gastric juice-resistant tablets taken during day-time m…

2021

Gabriella De Marco propone un saggio sulla centralità dell'istituzione biblioteca nella società contemporanea. Il contributo, che prosegue alcuni precedenti progetti di ricerca avviati dall'autrice sin dai primi anni duemila, è centrato sullo spazio abitabile e sul potenziale identitario di un edificio. Punto di partenza del suo ragionamento è il presupposto che lo spazio misurabile è anche spazio mentale. Ciò attiva una serie di considerazioni legate al rapporto tra il tempo della storia e il tempo del fruitore. Un edificio, pertanto, e nello specifico una biblioteca sia pubblica o privata sia nazionale o di quartiere, si percepisce ed esiste anche nel tempo soggettivo di chi la fruisce.

Gabriella De Marco proposes an essay on the centrality of the library institution in contemporary society. The contribution which takes up some of the author's previous research projects since the early 2000s focuses on living space and the identity potential of a building. The starting point of his reasoning is the assumption that measurable space is also mental space. From this arises a series of considerations related to the relationship between the time of history and the time of the user. Therefore a building specifically a library both public and private both national and local also exists in the subjective time of those who use it.Settore M-STO/08 - Archivistica Bibliografia E BiblioteconomiaSettore L-ART/03 - Storia Dell'Arte Contemporanea

Crescere in IPM. Il trattamento dei giovani adulti autori di reato

2017

Il trattamento dei giovani adulti all’interno delle strutture penitenziarie minorili, in seguito all’emanazione del D.L. 92/14 convertito in legge nel mese di agosto dello stesso anno, impone una riflessione e un’analisi sulle opportune modalita trattamentali non solo per i soggetti minorenni ma anche per giovani adulti tra i 18 e i 25 anni. Confrontarsi, infatti, con l’esigenza di rispondere in modo adeguato ai bisogni di una nuova tipologia di utenza e il principale compito dell’educatore penitenziario che necessita di programmi di formazione per acquisire competenze specifiche e costruire idonei percorsi trattamentali. Questi, se dotati di senso e rispondenti alle necessita di crescita d…

General MedicineThe young adult treatment within juvenile penitentiary facilities following the Decree Law No. D.L. 92/14 converted into law in August of the same year requires us to reflect and analyse on the appropriate treatments not only for minors but also for those between 18 and 25 years of age. Reviewing the necessity to respond adequately to a new type of category in the main commitment of a prison worker who needs special training to acquire specific competence and to create suitable treatment paths. These if linked to a steady and necessary growth of the minors can influence the detention period as a path aimed to social reintegration and a full citizenship.Settore M-PSI/05 - Psicologia Sociale
