¿Quién está buscando su mejor versión? Coaching y psicología deportiva en el proceso de terapeutización de (y desde) el golf
2020
This article asks about the expansion of psychological, therapeutic and self-enhancement ethos through the networks and devices that configures middle and upper-middle classes, and about the ways in which this process is singled out starting from the encounter between coaching and psychology paradigms with golf fans, in contemporary Argentina. The empirical materials that support the analysis have been ethnographically produced from the interaction with golf players and coaches.
Charge Transport Mechanisms in Heavy-Ion Driven Leakage Current in Silicon Carbide Schottky Power Diodes
2016
Under heavy-ion exposure at sufficiently high reverse bias voltages silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky diodes are observed to exhibit gradual increases in leakage current with increasing ion fluence. Heavy-ion exposure alters the overall reverse current-voltage characteristics of these diodes, leaving the forward characteristics practically unchanged. This paper discusses the charge transport mechanisms in the heavy-ion damaged SiC Schottky diodes. A macro model, describing the reverse current-voltage characteristics in the degraded SiC Schottky diodes is proposed. peerReviewed
Sistemi di comunicazione e dispositivi di interfaccia per l'integrazione della generazione distribuita nelle smart grids
2014
L'integrazione della generazione distribuita (GD) nelle reti elettriche di distribuzione a media e bassa tensione uno degli elementi chiave per il pieno sfruttamento delle fonti energetiche rinnovabili (FER). Ci implica un ripensamento della gestione e del controllo delle reti elettriche , che devono passare da sistemi " passivi ", con flussi di potenza unidirezionali e un numero limitato di funzioni di monitoraggio e automazione, a reti attive e intelligenti (Òsmart gridsÒ). In tali sistemi, i flussi di potenza possono essere bi-direzionali e, se non correttamente gestiti, possono causare situazioni critiche, quali ad es. problemi di stabilit e di controllo della rete o funzionamento i…
Mobile Apps and Social Media
2017
1The increasing penetration of smartphones among global population, especially among youth and children, has define a mobile and interactive media use without any precedent. A global connected world is the context in where our offspring are developing self-competences in media literacy because they manage technological devices at very early ages. This context is the state of affairs of this article in which we present two different steps: firstly, a theoretical study, showing the impact of mobile devices, focusing on smartphones and mobile applications where the question arisen is: What are children and young doing while online? Media literacy is also described in order to apply its dimensi…
Towards Seamless IoT Device-Edge-Cloud Continuum:
2021
In this paper we revisit a taxonomy of client-side IoT software architectures that we presented a few years ago. We note that the emergence of inexpensive AI/ML hardware and new communication technologies are broadening the architectural options for IoT devices even further. These options can have a significant impact on the overall end-to-end architecture and topology of IoT systems, e.g., in determining how much computation can be performed on the edge of the network. We study the implications of the IoT device architecture choices in light of the new observations, as well as make some new predictions about future directions. Additionally, we make a case for isomorphic IoT systems in whic…
Organizational identity and competition : a study of US semiconductor industry
2017
Organisationaalinen identiteetti ja kilpailu : tutkielma puolijohdeteollisuudesta. Tutkimuksen tehtävänä on selvittää, miten kaksi samalla puolijohdesektorilla kilpailevaa yritystä, Intel Corporation ja Advanced Micro Devices, kuvailee itseänsä ja kenttäänsä suhteessa kilpailijoihinsa ja siten rakentaa ja ylläpitää organisationaalista identiteettiään. Tutkimuksen teoreettisena näkökulmana on tarkastella markkinoita sosiaalisesti rakentuneena kenttänä jota kilpailu ylläpitää. Analyysimenetelmänä on käytetty koneoppivaa tekstin mallinnusmenetelmää nimeltä Latentti Dirichlet Allokaatio (LDA), jolla …
The Dawn of the Human-Machine Era: A forecast of new and emerging language technologies
2021
New language technologies are coming, thanks to the huge and competing private investment fuelling rapid progress; we can either understand and foresee their effects, or be taken by surprise and spend our time trying to catch up. This report scketches out some transformative new technologies that are likely to fundamentally change our use of language. Some of these may feel unrealistically futuristic or far-fetched, but a central purpose of this report - and the wider LITHME network - is to illustrate that these are mostly just the logical development and maturation of technologies currently in prototype. But will everyone benefit from all these shiny new gadgets? Throughout this report we …
On the structural optimization in presence of base isolating devices
2012
The minimum volume design of plane frames constituted by elastic perfectly plastic material and subjected to appropriate combinations of fixed, cyclic and dynamic loads is studied. The influence on the design, in terms of cost (volume) and behavioural features, of seismic protecting devices is particularly focused. The considered protecting device is a lead rubber bearing base isolation system. Two optimal design problem formulations are proposed for the structure with or without the protecting device, both based on the so-called statical approach. The minimum volume frame is reached accounting for three different resistance limits: the purely elastic limit, the (elastic) shakedown limit an…

Synchronizing Two Superconducting Qubits through a Dissipating Resonator
2021
A system consisting of two qubits and a resonator is considered in the presence of different sources of noise, bringing to light the possibility of making the two qubits evolve in a synchronized way. A direct qubit–qubit interaction turns out to be a crucial ingredient, as well as the dissipation processes involving the resonator. The detrimental role of the local dephasing of the qubits is also taken into account.
