Introducing Pseudo-Singularity Points for Efficient Fingerprints Classification and Recognition
2010
Fingerprint classification and matching are two key issues in automatic fingerprint recognition. Generally, fingerprint recognition is based on a set of relevant local characteristics, such as ridge ending and bifurcation (minutiae). Fingerprint classification is based on fingerprint global features, such as core and delta singularity points. Unfortunately, singularity points are not always present in a fingerprint image: the acquisition process is not ideal, so that the fingerprint is broken, or the fingerprint belongs to the arch class. In the above cases, pseudo-singularity-points will be detected and extracted to make possible fingerprint classification and matching. As result, fingerpr…

Striking a Balance among Security, Privacy and Competition. The Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act 2014 (DRIP)
2015
Following the ECJ decision that declared the Data Retention Directive invalid, the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act 2014 (DRIP) has been enacted. It is not indisputable whether the DRIP gives more powers to the intelligence services at the detriment of both citizens’ privacy and freedom of enterprise or whether it simply clarifies the nature and extent of obligations that can be imposed on telecommunications service providers based outside the UK under Part 1 of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA). The article provides news also on Data Retention Regulations 2014, R (David Davis MP and Tom Watson MP) v Secretary of State for the Home Department and the proposed…
Riflessioni a margine dell’ordinanza cautelare del 26 novembre 2021 del Tribunale di Gorizia: greenwashing tra concorrenza sleale e diritto del consu…
2022
La pubblicizzazione sul mercato di prodotti ecofriendly non di rado si è rivelata frutto di pratiche scorrette di c.d. greenwashing, ciò consistendo in ipotesi di concorrenza sleale capaci di alterare i sistemi competitivi del libero mercato e ledere il diritto dei consumatori all’acquisto consapevole. Simili atti sono oggi sanzionati ricorrendo ad inibitorie e a comunicazioni pubbliche in cui l’impresa infedele informa i propri consumatori circa l’ingannevolezza dei comportamenti posti in essere. In tale ambito, che in primo luogo interessa il settore agroalimentare, si inserisce l’ordinanza cautelare del 26 novembre 2021 del Tribunale di Gorizia. Il ricorso a disciplinari di produzione ba…

Paolo Sylos Labini Vindicated
2017
In the first part of our chapter we critically discuss i) Modigliani’s 1958 interpretation of Sylos Labini’s Oligopolio e Progresso Tecnico (1957), ii) the following debate concerning the Sylos Postulate −the assumption according to which “potential entrants behave as though they expected existing firms to adopt the policy most unfavourable to them, namely, the policy of maintaining output while reducing the price (or accepting reductions) to the extent required to enforce such an output policy” − and iii) the incumbent’s choice of productive capacity to install as strategic entry deterrence. In the second part of the chapter we develop a model in which, as in Dixit (1980), there are three …
