Conservation and valorisation of Giovanni Boccaccio’s house museum in Certaldo Alto
Creators: name: Gennari, Massimo

Publisher: name: TECHNE - Journal of Technology for Architecture and Environment
Year: 2012

description: The architectural restoration and functional redevelopment of Boccacio’s house in Certaldo Alto (Florence), has been carried out between 2006 and 2007 and finalized in 2011, including the reconstruction of the garden next to the house. The program which has been characterized by a strong civic, social and cultural involvement, is lead by the Ente Nazionale G. Boccaccio in partnership whit the local administration and aims at contributing to the valorization of the historical, architectural and cultural heritage of the historic center of Certaldo Alto. Valorization here is intended as a functional integration and synergy between predominantly cultural activities. The aim is to achieve the best results in terms of social development as well as intellectual growth within a virtuous economy, and therefore the construction of a complementary model for cultural assets in general. A model where the single cultural elements (museums, libraries, workrooms, exhibitions, auditorium, etc..) represent only the intersections of a wider net system established through the process of communication and exchange with the institutions, publics or privates, that operate in the sectors of research, experimentation, education and information. This means that the management of cultural assets will now aim mainly at the interaction between its components and nationals as well as international structures of education and research, institutes for the social and economical development and innovative business structures in the fields of communication and cultural and sustainable tourism. This establishes an additional value of his still underestimated significance.

Year: 2012

description: In the present economic context, property development is the most realistic opportunity to give new life to Italy’s rich historic-artistic heritage. This article describes the planning, economic and social implications of the procedures for authorising development, which involve public administrations in an important decision-making process prior to the more typical phases of the actual project. The impossibility of divesting these properties has stimulated legislation that in turn initiates complex operations, which have effects not only for the property, but also in the regional context, involving the urban planning, construction, social and economic sectors.

description: Understanding and controlling the way excitons propagate in solids is a key for tailoring materials with improved optoelectronic properties. A fundamental step in this direction is the determination of the exciton energy-momentum dispersion. Here, thanks to the solution of the parameter-free Bethe- Salpeter equation (BSE), we draw and explain the exciton energy-momentum map of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) in the first three Brillouin zones. We show that h-BN displays strong excitonic effects not only in the optical spectra at vanishing momentum $\mathbf{q}$, as previously reported, but also at large $\mathbf{q}$. We validate our theoretical predictions by assessing the calculated exciton map by means of an inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS) experiment. Moreover, we solve the discrepancies between previous experimental data and calculations, proving then that the BSE is highly accurate through the whole momentum range. Therefore, these results put forward the combination BSE and IXS as the tool of choice for addressing the exciton dynamics in complex materials.

description: AI audits are an increasingly popular mechanism for algorithmic accountability; however, they remain poorly defined. Without a clear understanding of audit practices, let alone widely used standards or regulatory guidance, claims that an AI product or system has been audited, whether by first-, second-, or third-party auditors, are difficult to verify and may exacerbate, rather than mitigate, bias and harm. To address this knowledge gap, we provide the first comprehensive field scan of the AI audit ecosystem. We share a catalog of individuals (N=438) and organizations (N=189) who engage in algorithmic audits or whose work is directly relevant to algorithmic audits; conduct an anonymous survey of the group (N=152); and interview industry leaders (N=10). We identify emerging best practices as well as methods and tools that are becoming commonplace, and enumerate common barriers to leveraging algorithmic audits as effective accountability mechanisms. We outline policy recommendations to improve the quality and impact of these audits, and highlight proposals with wide support from algorithmic auditors as well as areas of debate. Our recommendations have implications for lawmakers, regulators, internal company policymakers, and standards-setting bodies, as well as for auditors. They are: 1) require the owners and operators of AI systems to engage in independent algorithmic audits against clearly defined standards; 2) notify individuals when they are subject to algorithmic decision-making systems; 3) mandate disclosure of key components of audit findings for peer review; 4) consider real-world harm in the audit process, including through standardized harm incident reporting and response mechanisms; 5) directly involve the stakeholders most likely to be harmed by AI systems in the algorithmic audit process; and 6) formalize evaluation and, potentially, accreditation of algorithmic auditors.

Lights and shadows on the management of the dismissed industrial heritage
Creators: name: Vitale, Augusto

Year: 2012

description: The extensive industrial dismissal has opened a strategic issue within the broader public and private housing stock. To reuse and manage this dismissed heritage, after decades of new areas invasion policies, new issues based on areas conversion and buildings recovery are today brought to attention; buildings considered by international critics as witnesses of vital processes in West society over the past two centuries. They are however more vulnerable, for the low value the current opinion still confers to them, while the research world has opened a significant and widespread dispute. Therefore some requests for the «Cultural Heritage and Landscape Act» revision have been advanced ̶ which has trivialized the problem ̶ in order to include the industrial heritage within the cultural heritage, while it is urgent the redefinition of an ad hoc project status.

description: With the advent of the smart energy grid - an energy transportation and distribution network being combined with an IT network for its monitoring and control - information security has gained tremendous importance for energy distribution and energy automa- tion systems. Integrated security functionality is crucial to ensure a reliable and continuous operation of the smart energy grid. Further security related challenges arise from the integration of millions of smart homes into the smart grid. This paper gives an overview of the smart energy grid environment and its challenges. Many future use cases are centered around the smart home, using an ICT gateway. Approaches to protect the access and data exchange are described, preventing manipulation of ICT gateway operation. The paper presents ASIA - an Authentication, Session Invocation, and Authorization component to be used in the smart energy grid, to protect ICT gateways and to cope with problems like ICT gateway discovery and ICT gateway addressing.

description: Synthesizing half-metallic fully-compensated ferrimagnets that form in the inverse Heusler phase could lead to superior spintronic devices. These materials would have high spin polarization at room temperature with very little fringing magnetic fields. Previous theoretical studies indicated that Cr2CoAl should form in a stable inverse Heusler lattice due to its low activation energy. Here, stoichiometric Cr2CoAl samples were arc-melted and annealed at varying temperatures, followed by studies of their structural and magnetic properties. High-resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction revealed a chemically ordered Heusler phase in addition to CoAl and Cr phases. Soft X-ray magnetic circular dichroism revealed that the Cr and Co magnetic moments are antiferromagnetically oriented leading to the observed low magnetic moment in Cr2CoAl.

description: In most spray coating and deposition applications, the target surface may be initially dry but with continuous drop impact a thin layer of liquid film is formed on which further impingement occurs. An experimental study of the process of drop impact on a thin stagnant film of the same liquid and the subsequent drop-film interactions is carried out. The impacting drop results in either liquid deposition or it can cause prompt or delayed splash. Deposition occurs when the drop merges with the liquid film without generating secondary drops. Splash results in the production of secondary drops either at the instant of impact (prompt splash) or through a delayed break-up of the rim of the crown formed as a result of the impact (delayed splash). Experiments are conducted to characterize the phenomena using five different Newtonian liquids and by varying drop impact diameter and velocity. The liquids are chosen so as to cover a wide range of liquid properties (viscosity and surface tension). A high-speed digital camera is used to capture the drop impact dynamics. The threshold of splashing is found to be related to drop size, impact velocity, liquid properties and thin film thickness. Experimental analysis of the significance of inertial, viscous and capillary forces in determining the splash and no-splash (or deposition) boundary helps in establishing an empirical correlation for the same. The splash and no-splash outcomes predicted by the proposed correlation agree well with experimental data available in the literature.

Year: 2017

description: Even in a digitally advanced society, much of our daily lives is based in place, but information behavior research has largely ignored place as theoretically relevant to information behavior. This study explores the implications of a place-based approach to studying information practices, and examines factors that influence information seeking and sharing in place-based communities among parents of individuals with disabilities. Based on qualitative data gathered from 35 parents of individuals with disabilities, it proposes a spatial model of information source preferences based on the theory of information horizons, and discusses implications of the model for future research related to information seeking and places. It also presents substantive place-related findings about local information needs, including discussion of the local parent network as an information seeking system.

description: "The American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA) Task Force on Practice Guidelines regularly reviews existing guidelines to determine when an update or a full revision is needed. This process gives priority to areas in which major changes in text, and particularly recommendations, are merited on the basis of new understanding or evidence. Minor changes in verbiage and references are discouraged. The ACC/AHA/American College of Physicians–American Society of Internal Medicine (ACP-ASIM) Guidelines for the Management of Patients With Chronic Stable Angina, which were published in June 1999, have now been updated. The full-text guideline incorporating the updated material is available on the Internet (www.acc.org or www.americanheart.org) in both a track-changes version showing the changes in the 1999 guideline in strike-out (deleted text) and highlighting (new text) and a “clean” version that fully incorporates all the changes. This summary article describes the 4 most important areas of change reflected in the update in a format that we hope can be read and understood as a stand-alone document. Interested readers are referred to the full-length version on the Internet to completely understand the location of these changes within the full-length guideline, as well as their proper context. The full-length guideline includes some additional changes that are not reflected in this summary article. All new references appear in bold-faced type; all original references appear in normal type. Although the primary focus of this guideline is on symptomatic patients, asymptomatic patients with known or suspected coronary disease are included in this update and are described in Section V."

description: The presented research work proposes a study about the ≪flexibility≫ requirement, aiming to define its role in social housing requalification. For the Preturo A.T.E.R. settlement, characterized by considerable lack of technological units and performance gaps, we propose systems adaptable as for the variability of the dwelling, working and socialization needs for settled or to be settled users. The originality of the work consists in the identification of the flexibility as sustainable functional requalification strategy, also aware that the post-industrial buildings predisposition to transformation, given by their deterioration conditions, and the performance fitting possibilities are directly proportional.

description: The mass angle distribution shows a strong correlation between mass and angle when quasifission events are dominant. Therefore, as long as quasifission events are dominant, the mass angle distribution is characterized in that a diagonal correlation appears. This diagonal correlation could not be reproduced in our previous model that is before introducing $f_\text{ina}$ and $γ_\text{t}^{0}$ model parameters. In this study, we clarify the indeterminate parameters included in the model to reproduce the diagonal correlation appearing in the mass angle distribution in the $^{48}$Ti + $^{186}$W reaction system. As a result, $f_\text{ina}$ and $γ_\text{t}^{0}$ of model parameters were found to be key parameters for MAD. it was also found that the balance between $f_\text{ina}$ and $γ_\text{t}^{0}$ parameter values is important for the strong correlation between mass and angle.

description: The essay reconstructs some important ideas of Wilhelm Dilthey’s historical-philosophical conception starting from the narration of a dream he himself planned for the celebrations for his seventieth birthday. The essential value of his Weltanschauungslehre is highlighted, i.e. the complex and prospective sense of every form of knowledge and the essentially historical meaning that characterizes them all. The party thus becomes an occasion for a narrative in which imagination and reality continually overlap to celebrate the complexity of life, understood in its essential historical connotation and within which the philosophical truth takes on a strongly renewed, critical and problematic meaning.

description: This study investigates secrecy in daily life. We are interested in growing a better understanding of which specific aspects of secret mind-wandering are responsible for the psychological costs of secrecy. In doing so, this project aims to expand on preliminary findings that link secret mind-wandering to negative emotions experienced about secrets. In addition to better understanding the nature of mind-wandering and emotions in the context of secrecy, this project aims to explore the role of emotion regulation in these processes. Identifying which emotion regulation strategies people use to manage emotions about their secrets is a necessary step in understanding how to improve personal well-being for those practicing secrecy. In doing so, this project will add to the scientific literature on secrecy, linking it to the emotion regulation literature for the first time. Finally, this project also represents an innovative methodological shift in the study of secrecy by capturing secrecy processes in daily life. We will conduct a study using daily diary methodology, which involves asking people about their experiences with secrecy once per day for 14 days. This method will allow us to examine psychological processes as they unfold over time. Furthermore, this method maintains good ecological validity by studying secrecy processes as they play out in people’s real lives, rather than in the laboratory as attempted in prior secrecy literature. A better understanding of the everyday contexts in which secrecy is practiced will not only advance theory in the field of secrecy, but also improve understanding of how to improve the well-being of people struggling with their secrets.

description: As the number of sensors becomes massive in Internet of Things (IoT) networks, the amount of data is humongous. To process data in real-time while protecting user privacy, federated learning (FL) has been regarded as an enabling technique to push edge intelligence into IoT networks with massive devices. However, FL latency increases dramatically due to the increase of the number of parameters in deep neural network and the limited computation and communication capabilities of IoT devices. To address this issue, we propose a semi-federated learning (SemiFL) paradigm in which network pruning and over-the-air computation are efficiently applied. To be specific, each small base station collects the raw data from its served sensors and trains its local pruned model. After that, the global aggregation of local gradients is achieved through over-the-air computation. We first analyze the performance of the proposed SemiFL by deriving its convergence upper bound. To reduce latency, a convergence-constrained SemiFL latency minimization problem is formulated. By decoupling the original problem into several sub-problems, iterative algorithms are designed to solve them efficiently. Finally, numerical simulations are conducted to verify the effectiveness of our proposed scheme in reducing latency and guaranteeing the identification accuracy.

However, the BS is merely responsible for aggregating local updates during the training process, which incurs a waste of the computational resource at the BS. To tackle this issue, we propose a semi-federated learning (SemiFL) paradigm to leverage the computing capabilities of both the BS and devices for a hybrid implementation of centralized learning (CL) and FL. Specifically, each device sends both local gradients and data samples to the BS for training a shared global model. To improve communication efficiency over the same time-frequency resources, we integrate over-the-air computation for aggregation and non-orthogonal multiple access for transmission by designing a novel transceiver structure. To gain deep insights, we conduct convergence analysis by deriving a closed-form optimality gap for SemiFL and extend the result to two extra cases. In the first case, the BS uses all accumulated data samples to calculate the CL gradient, while a decreasing learning rate is adopted in the second case. Our analytical results capture the destructive effect of wireless communication and show that both FL and CL are special cases of SemiFL. Then, we formulate a non-convex problem to reduce the optimality gap by jointly optimizing the transmit power and receive beamformers. Accordingly, we propose a two-stage algorithm to solve this intractable problem, in which we provide the closed-form solutions to the beamformers. Extensive simulation results on two real-world datasets corroborate our theoretical analysis, and show that the proposed SemiFL outperforms conventional FL and achieves 3.2% accuracy gain on the MNIST dataset compared to state-of-the-art benchmarks.

description: Architecture involves measurable (tangible) and immeasurable (intangible) elements, which makes the pursuit of good architecture a constant challenge for all project contributors. It is often the immeasurable aspects, the intuition and feel for a project and the way in which actors interact, which help to bring about exciting, creative and functional buildings that reflect the best of humanity, time and place. In this article the author explores the role of technological design within an environmentally responsible age. The narrative moves through the sustainable vernacular to the constructive link between design and construction, concluding with some reflections on the shape of things to come.

description: In this paper, we propose and study a multi-functional reconfigurable intelligent surface (MF-RIS) architecture. In contrast to conventional single-functional RIS (SF-RIS) that only reflects signals, the proposed MF-RIS simultaneously supports multiple functions with one surface, including reflection, refraction, amplification, and energy harvesting of wireless signals. As such, the proposed MF-RIS is capable of significantly enhancing RIS signal coverage by amplifying the signal reflected/refracted by the RIS with the energy harvested. We present the signal model of the proposed MF-RIS, and formulate an optimization problem to maximize the sum-rate of multiple users in an MF-RIS-aided non-orthogonal multiple access network. We jointly optimize the transmit beamforming, power allocations as well as the operating modes and parameters for different elements of the MF-RIS and its deployment location, via an efficient iterative algorithm. Simulation results are provided which show significant performance gains of the MF-RIS over SF-RISs with only some of its functions available. Moreover, we demonstrate that there exists a fundamental trade-off between sum-rate maximization and harvested energy maximization. In contrast to SF-RISs which can be deployed near either the transmitter or receiver, the proposed MF-RIS should be deployed closer to the transmitter for maximizing its communication throughput with more energy harvested.

description: Although reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) can improve the performance of wireless networks by smartly reconfiguring the radio environment, existing passive RISs face two key challenges, i.e., double-fading attenuation and dependence on grid/battery. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a new RIS architecture, called multi-functional RIS (MF-RIS). Different from conventional reflecting-only RIS, the proposed MF-RIS is capable of supporting multiple functions with one surface, including signal reflection, amplification, and energy harvesting. As such, our MF-RIS is able to overcome the double-fading attenuation by harvesting energy from incident signals. Through theoretical analysis, we derive the achievable capacity of an MF-RIS-aided communication network. Compared to the capacity achieved by the existing self-sustainable RIS, we derive the number of reflective elements required for MF-RIS to outperform self-sustainable RIS. To realize a self-sustainable communication system, we investigate the use of MF-RIS in improving the sum-rate of multi-user wireless networks. Specifically, we solve a non-convex optimization problem by jointly designing the transmit beamforming and MF-RIS coefficients. As an extension, we investigate a resource allocation problem in a practical scenario with imperfect channel state information. By approximating the semi-infinite constraints with the S-procedure and the general sign-definiteness, we propose a robust beamforming scheme to combat the inevitable channel estimation errors. Finally, numerical results show that: 1) compared to the self-sustainable RIS, MF-RIS can strike a better balance between energy self-sustainability and throughput improvement; and 2) unlike reflecting-only RIS which can be deployed near the transmitter or receiver, MF-RIS should be deployed closer to the transmitter for higher spectrum efficiency.

Evidence-Based Guidelines for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention in Women

description: Significant advances in our knowledge about interventions to prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD) have occurred since publication of the first female-specific recommendations for preventive cardiology in 1999.1 Despite research-based gains in the treatment of CVD, it remains the leading killer of women in the United States and in most developed areas of the world.2–3 In the United States alone, more than one half million women die of CVD each year, exceeding the number of deaths in men and the next 7 causes of death in women combined. This translates into approximately 1 death every minute.2 Coronary heart disease (CHD) accounts for the majority of CVD deaths in women, disproportionately afflicts racial and ethnic minorities, and is a prime target for prevention.1–2 Because CHD is often fatal, and because nearly two thirds of women who die suddenly have no previously recognized symptoms, it is essential to prevent CHD.2 Other forms of atherosclerotic/thrombotic CVD, such as cerebrovascular disease and peripheral arterial disease, are critically important in women. Strategies known to reduce the burden of CHD may have substantial benefits for the prevention of noncoronary atherosclerosis, although they have been studied less extensively in some of these settings.
Enhancement and knowledge

description: Many issues related to enhancement strategies emerge nowadays both from the scenario offered by public real estates and from the current processes of conveyance of public assets to local authorities. On one hand it is still difficult, from a strategic point of view, to approach in the medium-long term the chronic problems of the public estates due to deterioration, obsolescence and organizational inadequacy. On the other hand there is the risk that inadequate levels of knowledge lead on one side to a prevalence of the binomial enhancement-alienation and on the other side to a lack of full comprehension of the actual potentialities of the existing assets. In this direction it is possible to analyze the topic of enhancement through, among many, the key of knowledge during the lifecycle of a building.

description: PURPOSE: To compare the speed and accuracy of the interpretations of digital mammograms by radiologists by using printed-film versus soft-copy display. MATERIALS AND METHODS: After being trained in interpretation of digital mammograms, eight radiologists interpreted 63 digital mammograms, all with old studies for comparison. All studies were interpreted by all readers in soft-copy and printed-film display, with interpretations of images in the same cases at least 1 month apart. Mammograms were interpreted in cases that included six biopsy-proved cancers and 20 biopsy-proved benign lesions, 20 cases of probably benign findings in patients who underwent 6-month follow-up, and 17 cases without apparent findings. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (Az), sensitivity, and specificity were calculated for soft-copy and printed-film display. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the speed of interpretation, but interpretations with soft-copy display were slightly faster. The differences in Az, sensitivity, and specificity were not significantly different; Az and sensitivity were slightly better for interpretations with printed film, and specificity was slightly better for interpretations with soft copy. CONCLUSION: Interpretation with soft-copy display is likely to be useful with digital mammography and is unlikely to significantly change accuracy or speed.
