Oltre Gibilterra. il Mediterraneo di Brodskij e di Walcott
2021
I temi e le immagini del Mediterraneo in due poeti non mediterranei.
Il cinema nel Trapanese, dalla tradizione alle nuove prospettive
2022
Le potenzialità cineturistiche di uno spazio emergono quando sono evidenziati e valorizzati quegli elementi paesaggistici, storici, culturali e della popolazione locale che possono rendere unici e distintivi i territori, riportando uno sfondo esclusivo, o per lo meno di interesse particolare per l’ambientazione di un’opera filmica. In questo contributo si focalizza l’attenzione sul territorio, sui beni culturali e sul paesaggio della provincia di Trapani. The film tourism potential of a space emerges when those landscape, historical, cultural and local population elements that can make the territories unique and distinctive are highlighted and valued, bringing back an exclusive background, …
Beneficence and equity: how the covid-19 pandemic exposed our weaknesses in Italy
2020
How did Italy face the issue of allocating beds in Intensive Care Units and ventilators during the COVID-19 outbreak? At the beginning of the epidemic, the Italian Society of Anesthesia Analgesia Resuscitation and Intensive Care issued recommendations that sparked a heated debate. Later, the National Bioethics Committee, the ethical advisory board of the Government, has issued a document, which recognizes that the only admissible criterion to employ in a "pandemic emergency triage" is a clinical criterion. The document actually doesn’t address some core ethical issues, leaving many unanswered questions.
DYSMICROBISM, INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE AND THYROIDITIS: ANALYSIS OF THE LITERATURE
2015
The human body is colonized by a large number of microbes that are collectively referred to as the microbiota. They interact with the hosting organism and some do contribute to the physiological maintenance of the general good health thru regulation of some metabolic processes while some others are essential for the synthesis of vitamins and short-chain fatty acids. The abnormal variation, in the quality and/or quantity of individual bacterial species residing in the gastro-intestinal tract, is called dysmicrobism. The immune system of the host will respond to these changes at the intestinal mucosa level which could lead to Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD). This inflammatory immune respo…
A Proposal to estimate the roaming–dog Total in an urban area through a PPSWOR spatial sampling with sample size greater than two

Un Modello di Massima Copertura della Domanda per l’Allocazione Ottima delle Ciclostazioni di AMAT
2018
AMAT Palermo S.p.A. is the public transport company of the municipality of Palermo. AMAT manages the bike sharing system and within a sustainable mobility project has involved the DSEAS and four secondary schools to the research project “GoToSchool”, a project whose main aim is to foster the use of the bike by the students in getting to the school.The project developed in two phases: the first phase was devoted to the estimate of the demand of bike sharing service from the students; the second phase was committed to the study of an optimal facility allocation problem in order to maximize the demand of bike sharing service arising from students.The optimization model can be easily customized…
A case of bilateral luxatio erecta
2008
AbstractLuxatio erecta is an uncommon form of glenohumeral dislocation. Cases of bilateral inferior shoulder dislocation (luxatio erecta) are very rare, and only ten cases have been described in literature. We describe a case of a woman with bilateral luxatio erecta of the shoulders treated with close reduction, immobilization and rehabilitation. The patient had fallen downstairs while clinging to both lateral banisters.
Multi-disciplinary analysis to construct a crustal model of the Sicily Channel using geological and geophysical techniques (data): impacts on geologi…
2023
To understand the dynamics of crustal deformation and earthquakes in active orogenic systems, it is essential to have a detailed view of the lithospheric structures in three dimensions (3D). Several studies in the literature explain how 3D visualization can enable the recognition of tectonic structures or to be able to establish connections between intraplate volcanoes (Wu et al., 2016; Lei & Zhao, 2016; Tan et al., 2019). This work aims to define and discretize a 1D-velocity model of the Sicily Channel; create a detailed 3D lithospheric model of the Sicily Channel using a multidisciplinary approach to evaluate the geological hazard elements that affect the Iblean foreland integrating bathy…
Deep Completion Autoencoders for Radio Map Estimation
2022
Radio maps provide metrics such as power spectral density for every location in a geographic area and find numerous applications such as UAV communications, interference control, spectrum management, resource allocation, and network planning to name a few. Radio maps are constructed from measurements collected by spectrum sensors distributed across space. Since radio maps are complicated functions of the spatial coordinates due to the nature of electromagnetic wave propagation, model-free approaches are strongly motivated. Nevertheless, all existing schemes for radio occupancy map estimation rely on interpolation algorithms unable to learn from experience. In contrast, this paper proposes a…
Channel Gain Cartography via Mixture of Experts
2020
In order to estimate the channel gain (CG) between the locations of an arbitrary transceiver pair across a geographic area of interest, CG maps can be constructed from spatially distributed sensor measurements. Most approaches to build such spectrum maps are location-based, meaning that the input variable to the estimating function is a pair of spatial locations. The performance of such maps depends critically on the ability of the sensors to determine their positions, which may be drastically impaired if the positioning pilot signals are affected by multi-path channels. An alternative location-free approach was recently proposed for spectrum power maps, where the input variable to the maps…
