No full textThe dataset contain the data related to the simulation of a new model-based manipulation technique for reshaping a DLO employing a sequence of grasping and releasing primitives performed by a single-armed robot equipped with a gripper. A decision process selects the optimal grasping point exploiting an error minimization approach and chooses the related releasing point. This decision process performs a spline interpolation between the error values obtained from candidate grasping points and chooses the optimal point that owns a minimum error. The multivariate dynamic spline model of the DLO is exploited to select the optimal grasping point and predict the DLO behavior during the manipulation process. Because of its advantages over other integration methods, the symplectic integrator is utilized for iteratively solving the DLO dynamic model. The simulations are executed with a DLO lying on a table and illustrate the intermediate deformation steps which lead the DLO from its starting state to the desired one. They demonstrate that our proposed technique can efficiently manipulate the DLO into various shapes in few steps. The data are presented in the publication:

Noi per Genova. The coordination of volunteers in the Genoa flood of 2014 / Noi per Genova. Il coordinamento dei volontari durante l’alluvione di Genova del 2014
Get PDFVolunteers represent a valuable asset during emergencies caused by natural phenomena. A recent flurry of contributions has underscored the capabilities of so-called digital volunteers to provide effective contributions by providing useful information, helping mitigate the damage and supporting the recovery in the aftermath of disasters. Social media have been identified as specific enablers of volunteer work, as they provide a bottom-up coordination tool. We contend that albeit useful for broadcasting information and corroborating other sources of information, the use of social media by a vast network of volunteers cannot substitute for the highly contextual knowledge developed locally on the scene. We explore the issue by analyzing volunteer work – both digital and physical – occurring during the Genoa flood of 2014

collegArti 1/2022
Get PDFAvviato nell’anno accademico 2016-2017, il progetto collegArti giunge alla pubblicazione del quinto volume dedicato alla raccolta degli articoli scritti dagli studenti nel 2021 e nel primo semestre del 2022 per raccontare le iniziative organizzate dal Dipartimento delle Arti e dalla Fondazione Federico Zeri.
CollegArti si conferma uno strumento di didattica partecipativa versatile, capace di riflettere la varietà delle numerose proposte culturali del DAR e della Fondazione Zeri, ma anche in grado di rinnovare se stesso: rispetto agli articoli delle edizioni precedenti, che si caratterizzavano per il taglio reportistico nel racconto delle iniziative del Dipartimento, da quest’anno abbiamo invitato gli autori a fare propria una più esplicita dimensione critica con l’obiettivo di rendere collegArti sempre più occasione e strumento di formazione, di collaborazione e di confronto tra gli studenti dei corsi di Laurea Magistrale in Arti Visive e AMaC – Arts, Museology and Curatorship
SPARTEVs. Gene expression data of cumulus cells in response to seminal extracellular vesicles subsets during in vitro maturation of porcine oocytes
No full textExtracellular vesicles (EVs), nano-sized (30-to-1000 nm) membrane vesicles secreted by all functional cells, are essential intercellular mediators, modulating several physiological and pathological processes. According to their size and biogenic pathway, EVs released by living cells are classically categorized into exosomes (small EVs) and microvesicles (large EVs). EVs has been isolated from all biofluids, including seminal plasma (SP), a fluid composed by secretions from accessory sex glands that accompanies sperm during and after ejaculation. Seminal EVs modulate several sperm physiological processes, and female reproductive tract immune environment, which is required for successful embryo development. Evidence supports that SP may also affect ovarian function. This study evaluated the potential effect of supplementing with two SP-EVs subsets (small (S-EVs) and large (L-EVs)) during in vitro maturation (IVM) of porcine oocytes on gene expression of cumulus cells. Four pathways were investigated using a total of nine genes: i) cell apoptosis using B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) and BCL2 Associated X (BAX); ii) cell proliferation using Cyclin B1 (CCNB1); iii) oocyte maturation through Connexin 43 (CX43), Hyaluronan Synthase 2 (HAS2) and Stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1); and iv) steroidogenesis using Cytochrome P450 Family 11 Subfamily A Member 1 (CYP11A1), Hydroxy-Delta-5-Steroid Dehydrogenase 3 Beta (HSD3B1) and aromatase (CYP19A1). All genes, including housekeeping 60S Ribosomal Protein L18 (RPL19), were selected based on previous literature. The mRNA levels were assessed by quantitative real-time PCR
SPARTEVs. Characterization of seminal extracellular vesicles subsets used for supplementing in vitro maturation medium of porcine oocytes
No full textResearch on extracellular vesicles (EVs), membrane-delimited nanoparticles (30-to-1000 nm) released by functional cells is currently a challenge for scientific community since they act as essential messengers in pathological and physiological processes, including those related to reproduction. Based on differences in size and biogenesis pathways, EVs released by healthy living cells are classically categorized into exosomes (small EVs) and microvesicles (large EVs). These EVs has been isolated from all reproductive fluids, including seminal plasma (SP), a complex and heterogeneous fluid composed mainly by secretions from accessory sexual glands that accompanies sperm during and after ejaculation. Bearing in mind that SP is beneficial for sperm-oocyte interaction and embryo development and that it contains EVs, which are involved in several sperm functions, the hypothesis of SPARTEVs project was that seminal EVs may play a key role in the in the successful development of the above-mentioned reproductive events. This data set contains the raw data of the characterization of EVs subsets (small (S-EVs) and large (L-EVs)) isolated from pig SP (by a combination of centrifugation, size-exclusion chromatography and ultrafiltration) and used for supplementing in vitro maturation medium of porcine oocytes. The characterization was conducted following MISEV2018 guidelines, and this data set included the raw data obtained from dynamic scattering, nano tracking particle and flow cytometry analyses
Laboratorio di ristorazione sostenibile. Rilevazione nelle scuole. Protocollo di ricerca per l’implementazione di uno studio controllato randomizzato nelle scuole primarie dell’Emilia-Romagna
Get PDFIl Laboratorio di Ristorazione Sostenibile è un tavolo di lavoro partecipato con l’obbiettivo di migliorare la sostenibilità integrata nel servizio di ristorazione collettiva ed in particolare quella scolastica. Il Laboratorio si occupa di definire pasti più sostenibili a livello di consumo e di scelta delle forniture, ridurre lo spreco alimentare e incentivare la donazione delle eccedenze nelle mense collettive attraverso una serie di interventi. Il Laboratorio si pone dunque l’obiettivo di valutare l’efficacia di un intervento nelle mense scolastiche regionali, per ridurre lo spreco alimentare degli alunni e delle alunne delle classi terze che frequentano il servizio. Capire quali interventi possono portare a una diminuzione dello spreco, in particolare quello di verdure, può infatti portare il duplice beneficio da una parte di aumentare la sostenibilità generale dei servizi e all’altra, influenzare positivamente il profilo nutrizionale del pasto. L’intervento consisterà in una modifica di servizio del pasto, cioè nell'anticipare il contorno di verdura inserendolo come prima portata. Questo documento contiene il protocollo di ricerca per l’implementazione di uno studio controllato randomizzato
