“Allouì? Mezus mortu mortu!” Processi identitari, retoriche del passato e mercato culturale in Sardegna
2014
In Europa, e segnatamente in Italia, Halloween continua a dividere ogni anno favorevoli e contrari. Ma quali sono le ragioni che stimolano il rifiuto del festival d’importazione statunitense? Una ma non unica motivazione è il ricordo delle questue infantili tradizionali che in passato scandivano i calendari cerimoniali di numerosi centri della penisola. Scomparse quasi dappertutto, le questue infantili si conservano diffusamente in Sardegna. Qui Halloween convive in alcuni casi con le questue tradizionali, in altri le ha sostituite, ma nella maggior parte dei paesi non si è ancora diffuso. Piuttosto, più o meno recentemente, altre comunità isolane, in risposta ad Halloween, hanno riproposto…
From Arithmetic to Logic based AI: A Comparative Analysis of Neural Networks and Tsetlin Machine
2020
Neural networks constitute a well-established design method for current and future generations of artificial intelligence. They depends on regressed arithmetic between perceptrons organized in multiple layers to derive a set of weights that can be used for classification or prediction. Over the past few decades, significant progress has been made in low-complexity designs enabled by powerful hardware/software ecosystems. Built on the foundations of finite-state automata and game theory, Tsetlin Machine is increasingly gaining momentum as an emerging artificial intelligence design method. It is fundamentally based on propositional logic based formulation using booleanized input features. Rec…

Testing for goodness rather than lack of fit of an X–chromosomal SNP to the Hardy-Weinberg model
2019
The problem of checking the genotype distribution obtained for some diallelic marker for compatibility with the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) condition arises also for loci on the X chromosome. The possible genotypes depend on the sex of the individual in this case: for females, the genotype distribution is trinomial, as in the case of an autosomal locus, whereas a binomial proportion is observed for males. Like in genetic association studies with autosomal SNPs, interest is typically in establishing approximate compatibility of the observed genotype frequencies with HWE. This requires to replace traditional methods tailored for detecting lack of fit to the model with an equivalence test…
Overionization in X-ray spectra: a new paradigm for Mixed-Morphology SNRs
2011
Mixed-morphology SNRs are characterized by a shell-like radio emission, a centrally peaked X-ray morphology, and by interaction with molecular clouds. Many models have been proposed to explain these peculiar remnants, but their physical origin is still unclear. The recent discovery of over-ionized (i. e. recombining) ejecta in 3 mixed-morphology SNRs has dramatically challenged all the previous models and opened up new, unexpected scenarios. I review the main properties of these remnants and their peculiar X-ray spectral properties. I also discuss the hydrodynamic model developed to explain the presence of over-ionized ejecta in W49B and present a list of open issues that still need to be c…
Relations between the cohesive energy, atomic volume, bulk modulus and sound velocity in metals
2011
By analysing the experimental data available in the literature, it has been found that the bulk modulus B of metals is proportional to the cohesive energy density Ec/V. For metals which start to melt having the close packed structure A1 or A3 the proportionality factor in the forementioned correlation is distinctly greater than that for metals melting from the A2 type structure. The existence of the correlation between the bulk modulus and the cohesive energy density leads to another, hitherto unrevealed correlation between the sound velocity, cohesive energy and the molar mass of metals: u2 ~ Ec/μ.
Problemi di giurisdizione nel contrasto al traffico di migranti via mare
2018
I trafficanti di esseri umani si avvalgono con sempre più insistenza di ben collaudati protocolli operativi. Questi ultimi consentono loro di sottrarsi alla giurisdizione penale italiana che non si radica qualora – in ossequio ai criteri di cui all’art. 6 c.p.ed in conformità alla Convenzione sull’Alto Mare– l’azione illecita avvenga in acque internazionali.Così, premesse alcune linee concettuali sui limiti spaziali alla efficacia della legge penale, l’indagine si sofferma sulla soluzione ermeneutica offerta dallaCassazione che, apparentemente in modo sbrigativo e per esigenze di effettività della risposta punitiva, ha fatto ricorso alla controversa figura dell’autore mediato per sanzionare condott…
Electrochemical Monitoring of Compartmentalization Effects in the Stability of Meisenheimer Anions Supported in Hydrotalcite and X and Y Zeolites
2005
Meisenheimer anions (MS - ) derived from 2,4-dinitroaniline are stabilized into Li + - and Na + -exchanged zeolites X and Y forming alkali ion-MS ion pairs. Upon attachment of the zeolites to polymer film electrodes immersedinto Et 4 N + /MeCN and Li + /MeCN electrolytes, boundary-associated MS - ions display two oxidation processes at +0.40 and +0.65 V vs. AgCl/Ag. This response sharply contrasts with that recorded for MS - in solution and incorporated within hydrotalcite, for which a unique oxidation peak at +0.35 V is recorded. The electrochemistry of zeolite-associated MS - can be described in terms of an unusual electron-transfer/ chemical reaction/electron-transfer/comproportionation …
A Tsetlin Machine with Multigranular Clauses
2019
The recently introduced Tsetlin Machine (TM) has provided competitive pattern recognition accuracy in several benchmarks, however, requires a 3-dimensional hyperparameter search. In this paper, we introduce the Multigranular Tsetlin Machine (MTM). The MTM eliminates the specificity hyperparameter, used by the TM to control the granularity of the conjunctive clauses that it produces for recognizing patterns. Instead of using a fixed global specificity, we encode varying specificity as part of the clauses, rendering the clauses multigranular. This makes it easier to configure the TM because the dimensionality of the hyperparameter search space is reduced to only two dimensions. Indeed, it tur…
Die intraoperative Hyperpyrexie bei Osteogenesis imperfecta-Betroffenen
2000
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different types of anesthesia upon the intra- and postoperative body temperature in osteogenesis imperfecta patients. The development of an intraoperative hyperpyrexia of unknown origin is a typical phenomenon in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta. Body temperatures of up to 40 degrees C are known to complicate the operation. Therefore, in a retrospective study, the pre-, intra- and postoperative body temperature curves of 45 operations under different anaesthesias were measured. Group A underwent a common balanced anaesthesia with the volatile anaesthetic Enfluran in combination with Fentanyl, while group B was operated on under tot…
