Hardware implementation of a robust adaptive filter: Two approaches based in High-Level Synthesis design tools
2009
Abstract Adaptive filters are used in a wide range of applications. Impulsive noise affects the proper operation of the filter and the adaptation process. This noise is one of the most damaging types of signal distortion, not always considered when implementing algorithms. Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) are widely used for applications where timing requirements are strict. Nowadays, two main design processes can be followed, namely, Hardware Description Language (HDL) and a High Level Synthesis (HLS) design tool for embedded system design. This paper describes the FPGA implementation of an adaptive filter robust to impulsive noise using two approaches based in HLS and the implementati…
A description model for regeneration through urban tourism in rural towns with underused historic real estate
2016
Il presente contributo propone un modello di descrizione (description model) che trova applicazione in una situazione reale di aiuto alla decisione posto dall'urbanista per lo sviluppo turistico delle città rurali nelle zone dell'entroterra siciliano. Il problema decisionale riguarda la città di Cianciana (AG), che negli ultimi anni si è resa protagonista di un particolare fenomeno di turismo internazionale. In particolare, proponiamo un quadro valutativo multicriteriale per la riqualificazione fisica ed economica del centro storico della città attraverso lo sviluppo del turismo. Il modello presentato, relativo a un problema decisionale di tipo descrittivo, è orientato a supportare i deciso…
Exploring FPGA‐Based Lock‐In Techniques for Brain Monitoring Applications
2017
Functional near‐infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) systems for e‐health applications usually suffer from poor signal detection, mainly due to a low end‐to‐end signal‐to‐noise ratio of the electronics chain. Lock‐in amplifiers (LIA) historically represent a powerful technique helping to improve performance in such circumstances. In this work a digital LIA system, based on a Zynq® field programmable gate array (FPGA) has been designed and implemented, in an attempt to explore if this technique might improve fNIRS system performance. More broadly, FPGA‐based solution flexibility has been investigated, with particular emphasis applied to digital filter parameters, needed in the digital LIA, and its …
Glossing wind names in Low German in Salisbury? A newly discovered text in London, British Library, Cotton Vitellius A.xii
2018
It's an essay investigating a text on the names of the winds in ms London, British Library, Cotton Vitellius A.xii (s. xi), where both Latin and vernacular names are given. The text may ultimately derive from Einhard's Life of Charlemagne (ch. 29), but it appears as a self-contained text in the form of a Class Glossary. Although inserted in a manuscript copied in England at Salisbury, the vernacular words of the text are not in Old English. The essay makes a case for a possible connection with Flanders, with the text being one of the very rare surviving specimen of the Old Low Franconian language.

Specification of modelling languages in a flexible meta-model architecture
2010
Originally, meta-models were used to specify the structure (abstract syntax) of modelling languages. This is reflected both in meta-languages like MOF and Ecore, and the four-layer meta-model architecture. Presently, meta-modelling is used for specification of complete languages. In this situation, it turns out that the traditional meta-languages are not always expressive enough to capture all language aspects. This usually implies the use of more than one metalanguage in the meta-model architecture to cover the different language aspects. There are many approaches to address this challenge. In this paper, we analyze these approaches, and based on this analysis, we re-think the meta-model a…
Entrepreneurs, the Self-employed and Employees amongst Young European Higher Education Graduates
2007
We shall analyse the different characteristics of entrepreneurs, the self-employed, and employees in public, private and non-profit organisations, based on a sample of young European higher education graduates. Using graduates’ self-assessment from a survey, several sets of characteristics such as social-demographic traits, educational and occupational experiences and levels of competences are considered. A descriptive analysis shows, first, that graduates who start their own business have different profiles in relation to elements leading to their occupational decision after graduation; and, second, that labour market status achieved by entrepreneur graduates implies relatively more demand…
Diagnóstico y políticas de promoción del emprendimiento en estudiantes
2015
La cada vez más saliente necesidad de contar con medidas tanto socio-económicas como educativas para desarrollar una cultura del emprendimiento hace imprescindible contar con una definición detallada del constructo, así como con una medida que permita disponer de una línea base del emprendimiento en estudiantes que facilitaría la evaluación de las intervenciones que desde el marco europeo y el gobierno estatal se propongan. El objetivo del estudio es proporcionar un conocimiento de las actitudes emprendedoras en el contexto educativo español, a partir del cual podrán realizarse implementaciones y evaluaciones de programas dedicados al fomento de la cultura y la educación emprendedora. 524 e…
Is there sustainable entrepreneurship in the wine industry? Exploring Sicilian wineries participating in the SOStain program
2016
Abstract Global climate change and the accelerating depletion of natural resources have contributed to increase discussions about the role of private enterprises in reversing negative environmental trends. Rather than focusing on profit maximization, policy makers and consumers pressure groups expect firms to meet a triple-bottom line of economic, environmental and social value creation. Hence sustainable entrepreneurship has received recently increasing interest as a phenomenon and a research topic. More recently, the concept of sustainability has been taken seriously in the Italian wine industry. The organizational challenge for entrepreneurship is to better integrate social and environme…
Evaluation of entropies of fusion of polychlorinated naphthalenes by model congeners: A DSC study
2006
Abstract Thirteen congeners of polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCN) were synthesized and studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Melting points (Tm) were obtained for all thirteen, and enthalpies of fusion (ΔHf) were obtained for nine congeners. Melting points of other PCNs, except for five, were found in literature. In addition, experimental ΔHf values determined by DSC were found only for 1- and 2-mono-chloronaphthalenes in the literature. The missing or uncertain values of the eight melting points and 64 enthalpies of fusion were estimated by multiple linear regressions using a set of thirteen molecular descriptors as candidates for independent variables. The stepwise model of …
