Electrical Safety Analysis in the Presence of Resonant Grounding Neutral

2019

The resonant grounding is one of the possible methods of the system neutral grounding for the medium voltage distribution. IEEE standards do define this grounding configuration, but important advantages and drawbacks of the resonant grounding might not be fully known, due to its rather uncommon application in North America. On the other hand, resonant grounding in Europe is imposed by the increased requirements for power quality, especially for medium-voltage (MV) industrial users, imposed to electric utilities by regulatory authorities, with the purpose to protect the interests of users and consumers. Level of the continuity of the service, magnitude and phase of ground-fault currents, mag…

I derivati over the counter tra diritto dei privati e la teoria ecologica del contratto. Premesse per uno studio

2022

Lo scritto intende porre alcune premesse per uno studio critico dei derivati over the counter. Condotta in riferimento ai dibattiti italiani e nordamericani, l’analisi di questi strumenti finanziari e del loro regime giuridico consente di sottolineare alcune implicazioni che la loro diffusione ha avuto sulla teoria generale del contratto. In questo senso, i derivati over the counter sono una manifestazione contemporanea di “diritto dei privati”. Tuttavia è illusorio pretendere un loro perfetto isolamento giuridico ed economico. Valorizzando una concezione ecologica del contratto, e facendo attenzione al rischio sistemico, occorre adottare un approccio rimediale capace di mettere in discussi…

Modeling ontologies for robotic environments

2002

On the basis of a multiple abstraction levels specification process, we developed a representational model for environmental robotic knowledge through the definition of a set of ontologies using a multi perspective approach. A general ontological model for typical indoor environments has been first developed, followed by its specialization using an implementation perspective. Actual software implementation of the ontology has been obtained via a XML-based markup language, used to build a repository for robotic environmental knowledge. Copyright 2002 ACM.

Rilkean Memories and the Self of a Robot

2019

This paper discusses the concept of Rilkean memories, recently introduced by Mark Rowlands, to analyze the complex intermix of hardware and software related to the self of a robot. The Rilkean memory of an event is related to the trace of that episode left in the body of the individual. It transforms the act of remembering into behavioral and bodily dispositions, thus generating the peculiar behavioral style of the individual, which is at the basis of her autobiographical self. In the case of long-life operating robots, a similar process occurs: the software of the robot has to cope with the changes that happened in the body of the robot because of damaging events in its operational life. T…

The contribution of AI to enhance understanding of Cultural Heritage.

2013

The Artificial Intelligence & Cultural Heritage (AI & CH) working group was born in 1999 with the aim at promoting various scientific activities to increase a more active collaboration between the sectors of cultural assets and artificial intelligence. The many events (workshops and schools) organized over the years have shown the validity of this group for exchanging ideas and gathering researchers and practitioners from different fields. New applications of informatics and artificial intelligence have provided the opportunity to produce innovative tools for documenting, managing and communicating cultural heritage. For this anniversary we intend to show how some of the most important meth…

Poczucie jakości życia a rozbieżność w systemie „ja”– różnice między studentami kierunków społecznych i technicznych

2020

Głównym celem badań jest ustalenie predyktorów osobowościowych odnoszących się do nowego modelu poczucia jakości życia w zróżnicowanej grupie studentów. Badania oparto na teorii rozbieżności w systemie „ja” E. T. Higginsa oraz Modelu Osobowościowo-Aksjologicznym B. Mróz. Metoda. Przebadano 64 studentów pedagogiki i 62 studentów elektrotechniki. W badaniach zastosowano Test Przymiotnikowy ACL, Zmodyfikowany Kwestionariusz Poczucia Jakości Życia oraz wywiad i obserwację. Wyniki. Osoby z niską rozbieżnością w systemie „ja” osiągały znacząco wyższe wyniki w Kompetencjach, Relacjach i Autonomii, będącej elementami Modelu Osobowościowo-Aksjologicznego. Analiza regresji krokowej wskazała, że najsi…

Forensic Analysis of Fire in a Substation of a Commercial Center

2020

In this article, the authors discuss the legal liabilities of the professional engineer as both the engineer of record of a project and the construction site manager. In particular, this article analyzes the case of a fire at the end-user medium voltage–low-voltage (MV–LV) substation of a shopping center in Italy, which occurred a few years after the maintenance works on the electrical installation. The professional engineer who had designed and overseen the construction of the substation was accused of professional negligence. The authors through the examination of applicable technical standards, as well as of safety regulations, demonstrate that the professional engineer had acted diligen…

Homophobic bullying and preventive actions at school: from laws to gender studies in Italy

2019

The evolution of thought relating to sexual orientation and the greater visibility of gay and lesbian people, at media level also, haven’t been efficient for the revisiting of homosexual rendering from public acceptance and for a cultural transformation. The violent events on young homosexual students urge to reflect on the need that trainers should introduce educational models capable of providing different models of gender identification, fighting the stereotype that tries to substitute the reality itself. The homophobic bullying is intended as a fight to safety and well-being of young students. A multi-disciplinary and network approach seems to be for health practitioners a valid startin…

The myth of cognitive agency: subpersonal thinking as a cyclically recurring loss of mental autonomy

2013

This metatheoretical paper investigates mind wandering from the perspective of philosophy of mind. It has two central claims. The first is that, on a conceptual level, mind wandering can be fruitfully described as a specific form of mental autonomy loss. The second is that, given empirical constraints, most of what we call “conscious thought” is better analyzed as a subpersonal process that more often than not lacks crucial properties traditionally taken to be the hallmark of personal-level cognition - such as mental agency, explicit, consciously experienced goal-directedness, or availability for veto control. I claim that for roughly two thirds of our conscious life-time we do not possess …
