Developmental pathways of language development : a longitudinal predictive study from prelinguistic stage to outcome at school entry
2017
This research focused on the pathways of development during the prelinguistic stage and from prelinguistic development to later language ability. The first goal was to follow and describe the development of several prelinguistic communication skills during the first two years of life (Studies I and II). The second goal was to examine the predictive relations between this development and language ability and difficulties, as well as memory, up to school age (Studies I, II, and III). The third goal evaluated the feasibility of parental screening in identifying children at risk for language and communication difficulties (Studies I, II, and III). Prelinguistic skills were followed with a paren…
ALTERAZIONI. Introduzione alle sociologie delle omosessualità
2012
Il volume mira ad arricchire la produzione editoriale e le riflessioni, assai limitate, sul tema delle omosessualità nel contesto italiano, presentando gli svariati temi e i percorsi nonché le diverse prospettive di ricerca di un campo semantico assai complesso definito sociologie delle omosessualità. Il testo attraverso il contributo di studiosi, di attivisti e di ricercatori di fama internazionale, per la prima volta tradotti in lingua italiana, pluralizza gli sguardi su un settore di ricerca (le omosessualità), trascurato dall'accademia e spesso appiattito su rappresentazioni monolitiche e stereotipate. Rivolto al pubblico vasto ed eterogeneo di studenti, studiosi, operatori sociali, ess…
Il sex work maschile (omosessuale): rappresentazioni, mondi sociali e analisi
2012
Il saggio prende in considerazione il sex working maschile omosessuale evidenziandone il carattere di fenomeno complesso, sottostimato e trascurato non solo dalla ricerca scientifica, ma anche dall’intervento e dalle politiche sociali. I mondi sociali che esso implica e gli stessi sex workers spesso sono stati stereotipati e confusi con una serie di altri fenomeni (tra cui l’abuso infantile; la pedofilia; la tratta e lo sfruttamento; la dipendenza e il consumo di droghe, ecc.) che, seppure possono esservi talvolta contigui, hanno allontanato il focus della ricerca dalle dimensioni e dalle caratteristiche che lo contraddistinguono. Un altro aspetto, non secondario, che ha fortemente ostacola…
Image inpainting using directional wavelet packets originating from polynomial splines
2020
The paper presents a new algorithm for the image inpainting problem. The algorithm is using a recently designed versatile library of quasi-analytic complex-valued wavelet packets (qWPs) which originate from polynomial splines of arbitrary orders. Tensor products of 1D qWPs provide a diversity of 2D qWPs oriented in multiple directions. For example, a set of the fourth-level qWPs comprises 62 different directions. The properties of the presented qWPs such as refined frequency resolution, directionality of waveforms with unlimited number of orientations, (anti-)symmetry of waveforms and windowed oscillating structure of waveforms with a variety of frequencies, make them efficient in image pro…
A Telemetry, Tracking, and Command Antennas System for Small-Satellite Applications

Circularly polarized (CP) antennas are used in space applications for telemetry tracking and command (TT&
Vuorovaikutusosaamisen yhteisyys työelämän tiimeissä
2018
Teams are a very common way to organize work within a variety of fields. The role of competent communication in high-quality and successful teamwork is emphasized in both research and in working life discourse. However, research on communication competence in working life teams is scarce. Extant research lies heavily in the study of communication situations in short-term groups. The reality of working life teams differs from such groups. Teams work on varied, overlapping tasks, often over long periods of time. Moreover, extant research primarily has focused on competence as an individual quality. The objective of this study is to describe and understand the sharedness of communication compe…
On the use of composite indicators for mobile communications network management in smart sustainable cities
2020
Beyond 5G networks will be fundamental towards enabling sustainable mobile communication networks. One of the most challenging scenarios will be met in ultra-dense networks that are deployed in densely populated areas. In this particular case, mobile network operators should benefit from new assessment metrics and data science tools to ensure an effective management of their networks. In fact, incorporating architectures allowing a cognitive network management framework could simplify processes and enhance the network&rsquo
Characterization of IP-Based Communication for Smart Grid Using Software-Defined Networking
2018
The smart grid (SG) approach is based on a strong interaction between the network communication infrastructure and the power grid. Usually the management of the infrastructure is done by the distribution system operators (DSOs) that are worried about the increasing managing complexity due to the presence of increasing number of distributed energy resources and electrical vehicles. The use of software-defined networking (SDN) may simplify the network configuration and management for DSO, as highlighted from previous research works. The objective of this paper is to introduce and characterize an internet protocol (IP)-based communication architecture with specialized SDN bridges operating als…
The Smart Land Paradigm in the Sicani Territorial Archipelago
2017
With the aim to identify the specific identities of the Sicani territory, to interpret them in a perspective of innovative development and to define strategies capable of intercepting programming in progress, it has been deepened the “territorial archipelago” theoretical framework , recognizing it into the Sicani territory and trying to use it as the base of a possible development of a Smart Land, as a “non-gravitational” paradigm able to recognize and to direct the new relations of the rur-urban local systems.
Enhancing the Iterative Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Method
2021
Motivated by recent research on the iterative approach proposed for the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (ISPH) method, some ideas to improve the process are introduced. The standard procedure is enhanced iterating on the residuals preserving the matrix-free nature of the process. The method is appealing providing reasonable results with disordered data distribution too and no kernel variations are needed in the approximation. This work moves forward with a novel formulation requiring a lower number of iterations to reach a desired accuracy. The computational procedure is described and some results are introduced to appreciate the proposed formulation.
