On the Energy Scaling Behaviour of Singular Perturbation Models with Prescribed Dirichlet Data Involving Higher Order Laminates

description: Motivated by complex microstructures in the modelling of shape-memory alloys and by rigidity and flexibility considerations for the associated differential inclusions, in this article we study the energy scaling behaviour of a simplified $m$-well problem without gauge invariances. Considering wells for which the lamination convex hull consists of one-dimensional line segments of increasing order of lamination, we prove that for prescribed Dirichlet data the energy scaling is determined by the \emph{order of lamination of the Dirichlet data}. This follows by deducing (essentially) matching upper and lower scaling bounds. For the \emph{upper} bound we argue by providing iterated branching constructions, and complement this with ansatz-free \emph{lower} bounds. These are deduced by a careful analysis of the Fourier multipliers of the associated energies and iterated "bootstrap arguments: based on the ideas from \cite{RT21}. Relying on these observations, we study models involving laminates of arbitrary order.

description: Edward Burnett Tylor (1832-1917) fu uno dei padri fondatori dell’antropologia culturale. Per primo evidenziò il valore sociale della cultura, che definì «quel complesso insieme che comprende conoscenze, credenze, arte, valori morali, leggi, costumi, e ogni altra capacità e atteggiamento acquisiti da un uomo in quanto membro di una società». Durante la riunione del 14 marzo 1879 alla Royal Institution of Great Britain, Tylor fece un’insolita relazione del proprio lavoro. Il famoso antropologo era stato colpito dal fatto che il gioco del patolli, praticato dagli aztechi già prima della conquista spagnola, fosse molto simile al pachisi indiano. Ciò gli fece supporre che fossero fondate le teorie che ritenevano che la civilizzazione delle Americhe fosse avvenuta dall’Asia. Per questo, durante l’incontro con i colleghi della Royal Institution, Tylor espose le sue riflessioni sull’importanza del gioco come fattore culturale, sostenendo che la diffusione geografica delle attività ludiche è una testimonianza fondamentale dell’incontro tra civiltà e del processo di civilizzazione dell’ecumene. Aggiunse pure che i giochi resistono spesso nel tempo, anche in seguito a cambiamenti linguistici, religiosi o “dinastici”. Per questo sono rivelatori di interessanti indizi sulla storia dei popoli.

Educational attainment as a pathway to poor mental health in single parents : Exploring the mediating effect of food insecurity
Creators: name: Liu, Kyara Jiayen
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Adverse child experiences have been found to be strongly associated with chronic health problems, mental illness, and substance use in adulthood (CDC, 2021; Steele et al., 2016). The quality and stability of parenting as a result can impact the occurrence of adverse childhood experiences (Steele et al., 2016). As such, parental health is a particularly important area to study, due to the impacts it can have on household stability and thus the development of their children. The relationship between mental health and food insecurity has also been indicated by many studies, thus making the food security status of parents a particularly important area of study with reference to child health (Huddleston-Casas et al., 2009; Tarasuk & Mitchell, 2020). Educational attainment has stood out as a predictor of parental relationships, poverty and subsequently health (Braveman et al., 2011). This study will examine three hypotheses; (a) less educated single parents experience worse mental health mediated by food insecurity than highly educated partnered parents, (b) within less educated single parents, women have the worst mental health mediated by food insecurity and (c) highly educated single mothers have better food security and mental health than less educated single mothers. Analyzing the 2017/2018 cycle of the Canadian Community Health survey, I implemented binary logistic regression to find that less educated single parents were most likely to be food insecure and subsequently have the worst mental health. Furthermore, single mothers were more likely to be food insecure than single fathers (regardless of educational attainment) and among single mothers, education decreased the likelihood of food insecurity. Finally, gay/bisexual and Indigenous parents were more likely to be food insecure and have worse mental health, highlighting the impacts of systems of inequality on marginalized families. Policy should aim to address issues in racial and LGBTQ+ equity around food insecurity. Furthermore, support for single parents in the workforce and child care are necessary to close disparities in food insecurity and mental health.

Ludonimia, logonimia ed espressività nel linguaggio:su alcuni usi di gr. παίζω

description: La parola e il gioco: il binomio che unisce attività ludica e atto linguistico è al centro di ogni riflessione sulla ludicità nel linguaggio, nella prospettiva sia dell’indagine lessicologica e lessicografica sulle parole che ne designano gli aspetti (ludonimi), sia dell’analisi rivolta ai giochi di parole, in cui l’atto linguistico diviene performativamente atto ludico.
Entrambe le prospettive conducono a un’attenzione all’espressività nel linguaggio, vale a dire a quei fatti di lingua che sono «intesi a comunicare un sovrappiù di informazione emotiva, una connotazione in più rispetto a un ideale livello neutro del messaggio».

Securing Edge System Accelerators : A Design Evaluation Using ARM Fast Models
Creators: name: Kamal, Kasra
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Edge computing is a new computing paradigm that performs computations at the edge of the network and is now being used for GPU-accelerated applications due to real-time application constraints. Securing GPU-accelerated applications running on edge devices is necessary to obtain data confidentiality and integrity. However, edge devices are vulnerable to various threats (e.g, malware) due to being distributed and having a large attack surface. The key primitive for protecting applications running on an untrusted platform stack are Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). Existing TEEs however have focused on securing CPUs without securing GPUs. We design a TEE for ARMv8-based devices with TrustZone security extensions and integrated GPUs. The TEE provides an isolation environment built in Normal World (NW) and provides secure request-level GPU access. We utilize the TrustZone provided TrustZone Address Space Controller (TZASC) to securely partition memory regions. We demonstrate the applicability of our design by evaluating the overheads present using ARM Fast Models.

Jährlich werden 40% der Nachfrage nach tertiärgebildeten Fachkräften der Schweiz aus dem Ausland importiert. Vor diesem Hintergrund muss die Verknappung des gymnasialen Angebots legitimiert werden. Die vorliegende Untersuchung wendet sich dem Fall Basel-Stadt zu, wo im Mai 2018 Massnahmen kommuniziert wurden, um die Übertrittsquote ans Gymnasium zu senken. Nachfolgend gab es darüber eine öffentliche Auseinandersetzung in der Basler Zeitung, die mit Hilfe einer Wissenssoziologische Diskursanalyse rekonstruiert wurde. Gefunden wurden zum Beispiel stereotypisierende Deutungen und widersprüchliche Narrationen, die, indem sie bestimmte Lesarten der Wirklichkeit nahelegen, die verschärfte Selektion ans Gymnasium legitimieren.
Investigating adolescents’ historical reasoning skills when analyzing and interpreting an image

Subjects: subject: 370 - Erziehung, Schul- und Bildungswesen

description: This study investigated adolescents’ (secondary school students, N = 145, M age 13.9 years) historical reasoning skills when analyzing and interpreting an image. Presumably, historical reasoning can be fostered when engaging in inquiry-based writing. However, in past research using inquiry-based writing tasks, textual sources rather than images prevailed. The present research investigated students’ writing skills when interpreting a historical image. Participants were presented with a historical photograph and were asked to write a structured text about their analysis and interpretation of this image. A scoring rubric was developed to assess the quality of students’ historical reasoning skills, specifically: (1) asking and answering historical questions, (2) reasoning about images, and (3) reasoning with images. Findings show that the factor structure of the scoring rubric largely overlaps with theoretically distinguished components of historical reasoning. Students were able to ask historical questions and write a well-structured text. However, most students did not describe and analyze the source of the image and did not refer to the main message of the image. Further, many students could not identify the image’s relevance for the present. Importantly, the findings imply that students’ methodological competencies to critically analyze and interpret the used image were not elaborated. Possibly, they do not receive sufficient training addressing these skills. This seems problematic, not only in history education but also when deriving meaning from images in everyday life.

description: For a vertex operator algebra $V$, we construct an explicit isomorphism between the space of genus-0 conformal blocks associated to permutation-twisted $V^{\otimes n}$-modules and the space of conformal blocks associated to untwisted $V$-modules and a branched covering C of the Riemann sphere. As a consequence, when V is CFT-type, rational, and C2 cofinite, the fusion rules for permutation-twisted modules are determined. We also relate the sewing and factorization of permutation-twisted $V^{\otimes n}$-conformal blocks and untwisted $V$-conformal blocks. Various applications are discussed.

Spazi di gioco nella tragedia: il mondo “altro” in attesa dell’orrore
Creators: name: Cavalli, Marina
Publisher: name: ACME
Year: 2016

description: Già il pensiero antico aveva identificato l’attitudine elementare al gioco come necessità primaria di incanalare l’energia fisica esuberante e disordinata, che caratterizza ogni creatura giovane. L’impulso all’agitazione, al movimento scomposto, eccessivo e improvvisato, si traduce in un infantile contatto col mondo basato su attività destrutturate e prive di scopo, in cui l’essenziale è il movimento stesso, l’azione in sé, ben più che non l’effettivo giungere a un risultato dell’azione. Proprio dall’obbligo di contenere e normare questo flusso incontrollato della fisicità infantile nascono, secondo Aristotele, le diverse forme di controllo pedagogico: «I fanciulli devono avere qualcosa da fare, e per questo è perfetto il sonaglio di Archita, che si dà ai più piccoli perché, occupati con esso, non rompano niente delle cose di casa: i bambini infatti non possono stare mai fermi. Per i più grandicelli, il sonaglio di Archita è l’educazione» (Politica, 8, 6, 1340b, 23-31). Ed è questa necessità incontenibile di movimento che già Platone aveva posto come origine prima non solo di ogni atto coreutico, ma anche della gioia stessa dello spettatore (Leggi, 2, 653d-657d): «Ogni creatura giovane non può star ferma col corpo o in silenzio con la voce, e sempre ha l’istinto di muoversi e gridare […] ma per noi anziani è più decoroso starli a guardare, i giovani, lieti del loro gioco e della festa, perché la nostra agilità ormai è perduta. E non è forse per nostalgia di quella agilità, che mettiamo in palio premi per chi meglio risveglia in noi il ricordo della giovinezza?».

description: A popular machine-learning model for regression tasks, including stock-market prediction, weather forecasting and real-estate pricing, is the classical support vector regression (SVR). However, a practically realisable quantum SVR remains to be formulated. We devise annealing-based algorithms, namely simulated and quantum-classical hybrid, for training two SVR models and compare their empirical performances against the SVR implementation of Python's scikit-learn package for facial-landmark detection (FLD), a particular use case for SVR. Our method is to derive a quadratic-unconstrained-binary formulation for the optimisation problem used for training a SVR model and solve this problem using annealing. Using D-Wave's hybrid solver, we construct a quantum-assisted SVR model, thereby demonstrating a slight advantage over classical models regarding FLD accuracy. Furthermore, we observe that annealing-based SVR models predict landmarks with lower variances compared to the SVR models trained by gradient-based methods. Our work is a proof-of-concept example for applying quantum-assisted SVR to a supervised-learning task with a small training dataset.

“Giocare alla città”. Discorsi e pedine nella «Repubblica»
Creators: name: Capra, Andrea
Publisher: name: ACME
Year: 2016

description: ciottoli-pedine (pessoi), presenta a mio avviso uno statuto del tutto particolare. Se le fonti erudite ne trattano insieme a una serie di altri giochi e quindi ne certificano la natura ludica, va però detto subito che in età classica autori del calibro di Gorgia, Platone e Alcidamante ne associano l’invenzione a quella di attività apparentemente molto più “serie” e prestigiose: il calcolo, la guerra, le leggi, le lettere dell’alfabeto, e così via. Su una linea un po’ diversa, che ne riconosce a un tempo stesso la serietà e il carattere giocoso, si pone un frammento di Sofocle: la pesseia vi compare come «piacevole cura dell’ozio», posta fra le «sapientissime attività» (διατριβὰς σοφωτάτας) che occupano i tempi morti della guerra. Queste parole rimandano immediatamente a un tema iconografico molto diffuso in età tardo-arcaica: due guerrieri, spesso alla presenza di Atena, sono raffigurati nell’atto di sfidarsi con le pedine e appaiono di solito completamente assorbiti dal gioco, come avviene nella celebre coppa di Exechias che rappresenta la sfida fra Achille e Aiace armati di tutto punto e concentratissimi. Le testimonianze iconografiche e letterarie concordano quindi nel rimandare a un “gioco serio”, degno della massima considerazione e patrocinato dalla stessa dea della sapienza. Negli studi, questo punto è rimasto sostanzialmente in ombra, almeno fino al volgere del millennio. A partire da un passo della Repubblica di Platone, cercherò qui di cogliere alcune caratteristiche importanti e inesplorate di questo “gioco serio”, che si rivela importante per la definizione stessa della dialettica platonica.

We compute the rarefaction and shock solutions of the hydrodynamic equations of the model, showing that these equations form a Temple class system. We solve completely the Riemann problem and compare the theoretical prediction to Monte Carlo simulations.

description: Dopo un’ampia e articolata trattazione sul tema del vino, sul modo di berlo e sugli effetti dell’ubriachezza, Ateneo di Naucrati, istituendo una connessione non casuale, dedica la seconda parte del decimo libro dei suoi Deipnosofisti al tema degli indovinelli: ὥρα ἡμῖν, ἄνδρες φίλοι, ζητεῖν τι καὶ περὶ γρίφων. Al di là delle scelte lessicali, su cui si avrà modo di ritornare, colpisce l’informazione secondo cui alcuni versi di Simonide, definiti «enigmatici» (γριφώδη), fossero incisi (ἐπιγεγράφϑαι) su un’antica offerta votiva a Calcide o, secondo un’altra tradizione, su uno strumento musicale: uno psaltérion epigóneion. Sorvolando sulla dubbia attendibilità di questi dati, compresa l’effettiva attribuzione al poeta di Ceo, è comunque interessante il riferimento alla dimensione epigrafica e dunque al fatto che un testo di questo tipo fosse messo in relazione con un supporto materiale, sia esso ex voto o instrumentum.

description: This paper concerns the discrete version of the Painlevé identification problem, i.e., how to recognize a certain recurrence relation as a discrete Painlevé equation. Often some clues can be seen from the setting of the problem, e.g., when the recurrence is connected with some differential Painlevé equation, or from the geometry of the configuration of indeterminate points of the equation. The main message of our paper is that, in fact, this only allows us to identify the configuration space of the dynamic system, but not the dynamics themselves. The refined version of the identification problem lies in determining, up to the conjugation, the translation direction of the dynamics, which in turn requires the full power of the geometric theory of Painlevé equations.
 To illustrate this point, in this paper we consider two examples of such recurrences that appear in the theory of orthogonal polynomials. We choose these examples because they get regularized on the same family of Sakai surfaces, but at the same time are not equivalent, since they result in non-equivalent translation directions. In addition, we show the effectiveness of a recently proposed identification procedure for discrete Painlevé equations using Sakai's geometric approach for answering such questions. In particular, this approach requires no a priori knowledge of a possible type of the equation.

Transition to the viscoelastic regime in the thinning of polymer solutions

description: In this study, we investigate the transition between the Newtonian and the viscoelastic regimes during the pinch-off of droplets of dilute polymer solutions and discuss its link to the coil-stretch transition. The detachment of a drop from a nozzle is associated with the formation of a liquid neck that causes the divergence of the local stress in a vanishingly small region. If the liquid is a polymer solution, this increasing stress progressively unwinds the polymer chains, up to a point where the resulting increase in the viscosity slows down drastically the thinning. This threshold to a viscoelastic behavior corresponds to a macroscopic strain rate $\dot{\varepsilon}_{\rm c}$. In the present study, we characterize the variations of $\dot{\varepsilon}_{\rm c}$ with respect to the polymer concentration and molar weight, to the solvent viscosity, and to the nozzle size, i.e., the weight of the drop. We provide empirical scaling laws for these variations. We also analyze the thinning dynamics at the transition and show that it follows a self-similar dynamics controlled by the time scale ${\dot{\varepsilon}_{\rm c}}^{-1}$. This characteristic time is different and always shorter than the relaxation time of the polymer.

description: We prove a highly uniform version of the prime number theorem for a certain class of $L$-functions. The range of $x$ depends polynomially on the analytic conductor, and the error term is expressed in terms of an optimization problem depending explicitly on the available zero-free region. The class contains the Rankin-Selberg $L$-function $L(s,π\times π')$ associated to cuspidal automorphic representations $π$ and $π'$ of $\mathrm{GL}_{m}$ and $\mathrm{GL}_{m'}$, respectively. Our main result implies the first uniform prime number theorems for such $L$-functions (with analytic conductor uniformity) in complete generality.

description: Negli studi dedicati al rapporto tra scuola primaria e questione della lingua nel secondo Ottocento, è poco indagato il contributo del medium ludico. Del resto le stesse voci dell’Italia bambina, Cuore e Pinocchio, non palesano indizi che marchino questo sentiero. Anzi, in Cuore la componente ludica è soffocata dalla tensione pedagogica (e forse non a caso in De Amicis sono perlopiù gli adulti a rifugiarsi nei giochi), mentre nelle Avventure del burattino essa è implicitamente condannata, confinandosi nel paese dei balocchi. Per di più il variegato centone dei giochi, forieri di una socialità bestiale (nel paese si aggirano infatti «branchi di monelli»), è incalzato da un florilegio esemplare di sgrammaticature.

L’invenzione della realtà. I giochi di Useppe ne «La storia» di Elsa Morante
Creators: name: Neri, Laura
Publisher: name: ACME
Year: 2016

description: Una precisa divisione etica e ideologica si delinea nelle pagine del Mondo salvato dai ragazzini, che Elsa Morante pubblica nel 1968: «i Felici Pochi sono indescrivibili», «E chi sono gli Infelici Molti? Sono tutti gli altri». Nomi, storie, identità, frammenti di vicende personali e drammatiche emergono dai versi: è certamente un libro difficile, che abbandona momentaneamente la narrativa, e ritrova nella sperimentazione poetica l’espressione di una crisi morale. All’impossibilità di identificare la felicità sui volti e nei gesti di pochi individui, corrisponde la maggioranza degli altri, degli infelici che non hanno «segni» di riconoscibilità né di distinzione, ma prevalgono numericamente in uno spazio e in un tempo che rischia di far diventare i Felici Pochi «sempre più pochi / e sempre più infelici».

description: We extend our previous results of solving the inverse problem of quantum scattering theory (Marchenko theory, fixed-$l$ inversion). In particular, we apply an isosceles triangular-pulse function set for the Marchenko equation input kernel expansion in a separable form. The separable form allows a reduction of the Marchenko equation to a system of linear equations for the output kernel expansion coefficients. We show that in the general case of a single partial wave, a linear expression of the input kernel is obtained in terms of the Fourier series coefficients of $q^{1-m}(1-S(q))$ functions in the finite range of the momentum $0\leq q\leqπ/h$ [$S(q)$ is the scattering matrix, $l$ is the angular orbital momentum, $m=0,1,\dots,2l$]. Thus, we show that the partial $S$--matrix on the finite interval determines a potential function with $h$-step accuracy. The calculated partial potentials describe a partial $S$--matrix with the required accuracy. The partial $S$--matrix is unitary below the threshold of inelasticity and non--unitary (absorptive) above the threshold. We developed a procedure and applied it to partial-wave analysis (PWA) data of $NN$ elastic scattering up to 3 GeV. We show that energy-independent complex partial potentials describe these data for single $P$-waves.

Using CHIME Observations to Time Pulsars Discovered by Arecibo and Green Bank Surveys
Creators: name: Allen, Bryce
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: This study presents phase-coherent timing solutions for three normal pulsars and a phase-connected timing solution from limited observations for one millisecond pulsar using the CHIME interferometric radio telescope. All were discovered by recent surveys taken with the Arecibo and Green Bank telescopes. Two of the normal pulsars, designated J1945+1740 and J1859+7654, were found to have relatively low spin-down rates of P ̇=0.031(11)×10−15s and P ̇=0.03892(94)×10−15s respectively,leading to substantial characteristic ages of 307(107) Myr and 565(13) Myr. The third normal pulsar, called J0747+6646, was found to have a slightly above average characteristic age of 9.4875(50) Myr, but is overall typical in spin-down rate and period. The millisecond pulsar, designated J1935+11, exhibited deviations in its period, suggesting the presence of a companion with minimum mass MC ≥ 0.003M⊙. An isolated timing model was used to obtain a solution with χR2 = 12.8, which indicates further observations will be required to obtain a better solution and to fully determine the binary status.
Building a System for Automated Question Generation and Evaluation to Assist Students Learning UML Database Design

description: With the increase of online learning, the importance of online systems that support continuous learning and provide immediate feedback has grown. Building database diagrams is a key concept taught in computer science courses; however, those questions are time-consuming for instructors to develop, mark and provide feedback. The AutoER system supports automatic generation and marking of database design questions for student practice and course assessments. The unique approach of students interacting with question text directly and building the diagram iteratively guarantees unambiguous marking and helps students recognize and learn key database design concepts. Adding submission restrictions to AutoER proves to be an effective strategy to prevent system exploitation and undesired user behaviour. The analysis of student performance on the course examinations under submission restrictions revealed that although students demonstrate some undesired behaviour under regression penalty, the distribution within student behaviour profiles shows a major improvement compared to student performance under no submission restrictions.

So, we perform speech so greetings via gestures are normal word as that has been proven of it paper.
title: An Investigation Into Sex/Gender Equity And Inclusion In Corporate Training And Development Programmes
Creators: name: Kroese, Ingeborg
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2022

description: This study aimed to understand the role of sex/gender in corporate training. Despite significant progress, women are still underrepresented at more senior levels in organisations. The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionally impacted women and deepened this pre-existing inequality. Relevant and inclusive learning and development is crucial for career progression, and the main aim of the study was to understand whether current training practices are sex/gender equitable. A review of training theory and conceptual models highlighted that these do not recognise the role of sex/gender in training. In addition, training practice assumes that treating everybody the same, or so-called gender-neutrality of training, equals sex/gender equity. However, a multidisciplinary literature review of 78 empirical studies on sex/gender in training from across the world, revealed that sex/gender impacts access to training, how training is experienced and the outcome of training, in significant ways. Based on the literature review, I developed a sex/gender-sensitive model of training. A case study was conducted, consisting of three training programmes, designed, and delivered in a multinational corporation. A critical sociocultural research lens was adopted, approaching training as an enculturation in the company’s ways of working. The research methodology was qualitative, using semi-structured interviews with female and male training participants, training organisers, and trainers, and training document analyses. In the interviews, reflection statements were introduced to critically interrogate common-sense ways of working. Thematic analysis and a gender subtext analysis highlighted how the discourse of sex/gender-neutrality of training not only risks maintaining the status quo of the underrepresentation of women, but actually produces sex/gender inequity. Based on the case study, the sex/gender-sensitive model of training was further developed to guide how future training research and practice can become more sex/gender equitable. In addition, recommendations for future research are discussed, and a training programme for training organisers and providers is introduced to enable and empower practitioners to bring sex/gender equity into their training.

description: This paper makes progress towards learning Nash equilibria in two-player zero-sum Markov games from offline data. Specifically, consider a $γ$-discounted infinite-horizon Markov game with $S$ states, where the max-player has $A$ actions and the min-player has $B$ actions. We propose a pessimistic model-based algorithm with Bernstein-style lower confidence bounds -- called VI-LCB-Game -- that provably finds an $\varepsilon$-approximate Nash equilibrium with a sample complexity no larger than $\frac{C_{\mathsf{clipped}}^{\star}S(A+B)}{(1-γ)^{3}\varepsilon^{2}}$ (up to some log factor). Here, $C_{\mathsf{clipped}}^{\star}$ is some unilateral clipped concentrability coefficient that reflects the coverage and distribution shift of the available data (vis-à-vis the target data), and the target accuracy $\varepsilon$ can be any value within $\big(0,\frac{1}{1-γ}\big]$. Our sample complexity bound strengthens prior art by a factor of $\min\{A,B\}$, achieving minimax optimality for the entire $\varepsilon$-range. An appealing feature of our result lies in algorithmic simplicity, which reveals the unnecessity of variance reduction and sample splitting in achieving sample optimality.

La ballata E5 e le sue varianti nel codice degli abbozzi

Publisher: name: ACME
Year: 2016

description: La ballata petrarchesca Amor, che ’n cielo e ’n cor gentile alberghi (E5), composta per il musico Confortino e destinata alla definitiva esclusione dal Canzoniere, è un componimento profondamente complesso, oltre che caratterizzato da un’intrigante vicenda redazionale. E5 appare infatti imperniata sull’ambiguità tra due poli opposti, amoroso e religioso, in un gioco di contrapposizioni che rende difficile scegliere in via definitiva tra un’interpretazione sentimentale ed una lettura morale o addirittura penitenziale. La ballata è inoltre caratterizzata dall’evidente ed esteso riuso della tradizione lirica ed in particolare dei modelli stilnovistici, non solo e non tanto sul piano degli stilemi e delle immagini, quanto in termini di concezione amorosa. Il rapporto con queste fonti risulta problematico, tra ripresa e negazione, e rappresenta un ulteriore nodo significativo rispetto all’interpretazione del componimento. La graduale evoluzione della ballata, di cui possono essere identificate per lo meno tre versioni distinte, sembra accentuare gli elementi di complessità e le sovrapposizioni semantiche. Infine, l’analisi formale e contenutistica di E5 favorisce la formulazione, pur senza pretesa di certezza, di ipotesi sulle ragioni della sua sorte extravagante

A Unified Filter for Fusion of Multiple Inertial Measurement Units

description: Navigation plays a vital role in the ability of autonomous surface and underwater platforms to complete their tasks. Most navigation systems apply a fusion between inertial sensors and other external sensors, such as global navigation satellite systems, when available, or a Doppler velocity log. In recent years, there has been increased interest in using multiple inertial measurement units to improve navigation accuracy and robustness. State of the art examples include the virtual inertial measurement unit (VIMU) and the federated extended Kalman filter (FEKF). However, each of those approaches has its drawbacks. The VIMU does not improve the sensor biases, which constitute a significant source of error, especially in low-cost inertial sensors. While the FEKF does improve accuracy, it models uncertainty propagation empirically. If not modeled correctly, this can cause the global solution to diverge. To cope with those shortcomings, we propose and derive a new filter structure for multiple inertial sensors data fusion: the unified extended Kalman filter (UEKF). In addition, to cope with the multiple equal bias variance estimation problem we offer the bias variance redistribution algorithm. Our filter design enables bias estimation for each of the inertial sensors in the system, improving its accuracy and allowing the use of a varying number of inertial sensors. We show that our UEKF performs better than other state of the art, multiple inertial sensor filters using real data recorded during sea experiments.
Sublime giocatore e guastafeste. Una lettura de «Il nipote di Rameau»

Year: 2016

description: Il gioco non viene distrutto da colui che bara, ma da chi denuncia l’assurdità delle regole e la loro natura puramente convenzionale. Un’inedita lettura del Nipote di Rameau di Diderot mette in evidenza il gioco della pantomima quale sinonimo di sottomissione alle regole sociali e prima ancora ai bisogni. È il modo di stare in società, di conquistare un ruolo, tanto più falso quanto più lo sforzo della mimica ha il suo effetto. Prendere posizione non significa affatto affermare se stessi, le proprie idee; è adeguarsi ai bisogni e alle necessità di una società che rende schiavi. Rameau è un abilissimo giocatore, il migliore fino a quando non decide di mettere in ridicolo le regole del gioco che sta interpretando e chi le ha inventate: i nuovi borghesi.
