Special Section on ITS Services to Smart City Context [Guest Editorial]

2018

The seven articles in this special section focus on new trends and developments in the intelligent transportation markets. Since the earliest of times, transportation has changed and revolutionized society and industry. Many of technology advances were focused on transportation and their means (road, rail, air, water, etc.) even, today there exist several areas of the knowledge that are focused on it. As time goes by, new terms have been established where technology is present as well, for instance, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), Smart Cities, Smart Territory, Blockchain, Internet of Things, virtualization, Cloud computing, Intelligent Vehicles, embedded computing, Deep learning,…

Tecniche avanzate per il rilevamento e la valorizzazione dei beni culturali. La chiesa rupestre di San Nicolò a Modica (RG)

2011

La Geomatica mette oggi a disposizione degli operatori che a vario titolo si occupano di beni culturali (storici, tecnici delle Soprintendenze, specialisti del recupero e del restauro, o anche solo studiosi) tecniche e strumentazioni di rilevamento sempre più veloci, accurate, affidabili. Spesso, la complessità della geometria dei manufatti da rilevare richiede l’uso di metodologie differenti ma integrate fra loro. Questo è, ad esempio, il caso del rilevamento della chiesa rupestre di San Nicolò a Modica per il quale si è fatto ricorso all’impiego di tecniche laser-scanning e fotogrammetriche digitali integrate. Questa integrazione ha permesso di ottenere un modello 3D virtuale foto realist…

Luoghi reali e luoghi virtuali della filosofia: il Mosè di Michelangelo

2018

La storia della cultura è legata ai luoghi e al divenire della storia umana, nella duplice connotazione sincronica e diacronica secondo le categorie suggerite dall’antropologia e dalle scienze umane dell’età contemporanea. In tal senso non esiste una dimensione culturale astratta; giacché ogni espressione dell’uomo va correlata allo spazio e al tempo nella dimensione della geografia digitale. In effetti la geografia, posta a confronto con la storia, ad inizio del XXI secolo, è da esporre nel rispetto delle nuove e recenti esperienze del web. Di conseguenza anche la filosofia risulta essere una forma peculiare di geografia legata alla storia o di storia legata alla geografia. Un esempio embl…

Deploying Virtual MAC Protocols Over a Shared Access Infrastructure Using MAClets

2013

Network virtualization has been extensively researched in the last years as a key enabler for improving the network performance. However, virtualization in wireless networks pose some unique challenges: first, the usual over-provisioning approach for providing isolation between multiple virtual entities is not viable; second, the partitioning criteria are often ambiguous, since the actual resources perceived by each entity depend on many external (and time-varying) factors. In this demo, we show an effective virtualization solution for wireless local area networks, solving the problem of isolation and flexible resource paritioning, based on the concept of MAClets. MAClets are software progr…

Concept of virtual machine based high resolution display wall

2014

This paper presents the scalability and hardware dependency problems found in existing solutions in the high resolution display wall domain and proposes a new solution. Authors propose hosting the system that provides the visual content for the display wall inside a virtual machine. In such way any needed configuration of displays and resolutions can be applied to the graphics processing unit simulated by the virtualization system. The frame buffer content of the virtual graphics processing unit is then split, encoded with H.264 and sent over gigabit Ethernet as an RTP stream to the display wall. The display wall is driven by Raspberry Pi embedded devices that receive the stream, decode it …

Distributed medical images analysis on a Grid infrastructure

2007

In this paper medical applications on a Grid infrastructure, the MAGIC-5 Project, are presented and discussed. MAGIC-5 aims at developing Computer Aided Detection (CADe) software for the analysis of medical images on distributed databases by means of GRID Services. The use of automated systems for analyzing medical images improves radiologists’ performance; in addition, it could be of paramount importance in screening programs, due to the huge amount of data to check and the cost of related manpower. The need for acquiring and analyzing data stored in different locations requires the use of Grid Services for the management of distributed computing resources and data. Grid technologies allow…

Geografia e game studies. Convergenze e opportunità

2021

L’interesse della Geografia verso le potenzialità disciplinari del videogioco si è manifestato più tardi rispetto alle altre scienze, ma ciò è coerente proprio con lo sviluppo e l’irruzione sulla scena di quegli elementi ritenuti interessanti proprio per l’analisi geografica. Il contributo intende valorizzare tutti gli elementi di interesse scientifico per la disciplina. Geography's interest in the disciplinary potential of the video game manifested itself later than in other sciences, but this is consistent with the development and the eruption on the scene of those elements considered interesting precisely for geographical analysis. The contribution intends to enhance all the elements of …

Exploring the SARS-CoV-2 Proteome in the Search of Potential Inhibitors via Structure-based Pharmacophore Modeling/Docking Approach

2020

To date, SARS-CoV-2 infectious disease, named COVID-19 by the World Health Organization (WHO) in February 2020, has caused millions of infections and hundreds of thousands of deaths. Despite the scientific community efforts, there are currently no approved therapies for treating this coronavirus infection. The process of new drug development is expensive and time-consuming, so that drug repurposing may be the ideal solution to fight the pandemic. In this paper, we selected the proteins encoded by SARS-CoV-2 and using homology modeling we identified the high-quality model of proteins. A structure-based pharmacophore modeling study was performed to identify the pharmacophore features for each…
