Wannier90 as a community code: new features and applications
2019
Wannier90 is an open-source computer program for calculating maximally-localised Wannier functions (MLWFs) from a set of Bloch states. It is interfaced to many widely used electronic-structure codes thanks to its independence from the basis sets representing these Bloch states. In the past few years the development of Wannier90 has transitioned to a community-driven model; this has resulted in a number of new developments that have been recently released in Wannier90 v3.0. In this article we describe these new functionalities, that include the implementation of new features for wannierisation and disentanglement (symmetry-adapted Wannier functions, selectively-localised Wannier functions, s…
A Coexistence Study of Low-Power Wide-Area Networks based on LoRaWAN and Sigfox
2023
According to IoT Analytics, NB-IoT, LoRaWAN, and Sigfox are today the most popular technologies for low-power wide-area networks (86% of the market), both in terms of end-user adoption as well as ecosystem support. While NB-IoT utilizes licensed bands, LoRaWAN and Sigfox both employ the sub-GHz ISM bands, potentially interfering with each other.In this paper, we present a thorough coexistence study between LoRaWAN and Sigfox, in realistic urban scenarios, with different duty cycles and traffic conditions. The choice of such scenarios and simulation parameters are supported by an in-depth lit-erature review, and simulations are based on the SEAMCAT simulator. The results offer new insights o…
AI for Resource Allocation and Resource Allocation for AI: a two-fold paradigm at the network edge
2022
5G-and-beyond and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are pushing a shift from the classic cloud-centric view of the network to a new edge-centric vision. In such a perspective, the computation, communication and storage resources are moved closer to the user, to the benefit of network responsiveness/latency, and of an improved context-awareness, that is, the ability to tailor the network services to the live user's experience. However, these improvements do not come for free: edge networks are highly constrained, and do not match the resource abundance of their cloud counterparts. In such a perspective, the proper management of the few available resources is of crucial importance to impr…
Integrating psychological and neurobiological considerations regarding the development and maintenance of specific Internet-use disorders: An Interac…
2016
Within the last two decades, many studies have addressed the clinical phenomenon of Internet-use disorders, with a particular focus on Internet-gaming disorder. Based on previous theoretical considerations and empirical findings, we suggest an Interaction of Person-Affect-Cognition-Execution (I-PACE) model of specific Internet-use disorders. The I-PACE model is a theoretical framework for the processes underlying the development and maintenance of an addictive use of certain Internet applications or sites promoting gaming, gambling, pornography viewing, shopping, or communication. The model is composed as a process model. Specific Internet-use disorders are considered to be the consequence …
Internet a zachowania zakupowe nabywców
2016
W rozdziale podjęto próbę wykazania roli Internetu w procesie decyzyjnym klienta. Internet i informacje w nim zawarte wpływają na każdy etap decyzyjny, a opinie i rekomendacje użytkowników często wpływają na zakup produktu lub jego zaniechanie. W rozważaniach wskazano na fakt, że permanentne informowanie się klientów i wzajemne polecanie lub odradzanie produktów stworzyło potrzebę redefinicji klasycznego procesu decyzyjnego i poszerzenia go o tzw. zerowy moment prawdy. Stopień dominacji Internetu w procesie decyzyjnym pokazany został również na przykładzie badań ankietowych.

Tear production and intraocular pressure values in clinically normal eyes of whooper swans (<i>Cygnus cygnus</i>)
2018
The objective of this study was to determine the normal range of tear production and values of intraocular pressure (IOP) in clinically normal eyes of whooper swans (Cygnus cygnus). A total of 86 birds: 81 cygnets (6-10 weeks old) and 5 moulting - adult swans (3-6 years old) were examined in this study. Both eyes of all birds underwent a complete ophthalmic examination, including evaluation of tear production with the phenol red thread test (PRTT) and the assessment of the IOP by rebound tonometry, employing the TonoVet® device. The mean ± standard deviation of PRTT values were as follows: all cygnets (81) 22.59±3.48 mm/15s, male cygnets (45) 22.64±3.54 mm/15s, female cygnets (36) 22.53±3.4…
Predicting lorawan behavior. How machine learning can help
2020
Large scale deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) networks are becoming reality. From a technology perspective, a lot of information related to device parameters, channel states, network and application data are stored in databases and can be used for an extensive analysis to improve the functionality of IoT systems in terms of network performance and user services. LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is one of the emerging IoT technologies, with a simple protocol based on LoRa modulation. In this work, we discuss how machine learning approaches can be used to improve network performance (and if and how they can help). To this aim, we describe a methodology to process LoRaWAN packets a…
Exploratory approach for network behavior clustering in LoRaWAN
2021
AbstractThe interest in the Internet of Things (IoT) is increasing both as for research and market perspectives. Worldwide, we are witnessing the deployment of several IoT networks for different applications, spanning from home automation to smart cities. The majority of these IoT deployments were quickly set up with the aim of providing connectivity without deeply engineering the infrastructure to optimize the network efficiency and scalability. The interest is now moving towards the analysis of the behavior of such systems in order to characterize and improve their functionality. In these IoT systems, many data related to device and human interactions are stored in databases, as well as I…
Demo - A Cell-level Traffic Generator for LoRa Networks
2017
In this demo we present and validate a LoRa cell traffic generator, able to emulate the behavior of thousands of low-rate sensor nodes deployed in the same cell, by using a single Software Defined Radio (SDR) platform. Differently from traditional generators, whose goal is creating packet flows which emulate specific applications and protocols, our focus is generating a combined radio signal, as seen by a gateway, given by the super-position of the signals transmitted by multiple sensors simultaneously active on the same channel. We argue that such a generator can be of interest for testing different network planning solutions for LoRa networks.
