The Renaissance Nomenclature of the Fasti Consulares
No full textIn 1546 one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the Renaissance took place, the so-called Fasti consulares, panels upon which were engraved the succession of Roman magistrates. These epigraphs were named in several ways, reflecting how they were understood by the scholarly community and what their reception would be, given the growing sensitivity to artefacts from antiquity. Their nomenclature was problematic from the very beginning. Only the thorough cross-referencing of textual and material sources could provide a term which eventually expressed their real essence. The purpose of this study is to reconstruct the phases that brought this find to acquire the denomination of fasti in early modern times, and to discover what precisely contributed to this choice

Il Valore Pedagogico della Gamification: una Revisione Sistematica - The Pedagogical Value of Gamification: a Systematic Review
No full textThis paper aims to analyse the emerging methodology of gamification, defined as “the use
of game design elements in non-game contexts” (Dertending et al., 2011). In particular, we
focus on the pedagogical dimension of the methodology. Given the origin of the term in
the informatics sector, the major part of the empirical studies that involve gamification developed
in the field of Human-Computer Interaction and Psychology. These researches
mainly analysed the efficacy of the methodology, and its relationship with some factors of
influence on learning such as motivation and attention. In this context, it is not clear how
the Educational Sciences approached the concept, and how they contributed to the contemporary
debate around it.
The aim of this work is to discuss the contribution of the Educational Science to the literature
through a systematic analysis (Pettigrew and Roberts, 2006) of the pedagogical dimensions
of the researches in which gamification was involved in either an empirical or
theoretical way. Results show a limited pedagogical elaboration that appears only tangential
to the psychological dimension. Furthermore, a number of criticisms emerged. Future
work will fill this gap through a systematic pedagogical elaboration of the methodology of
gamification, combining pedagogical tradition and technological innovation while integrating
ICT in didactics
Implementation of Depth-based routing and its enhancement in Aqua-Sim Next Generation for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks
No full textIn the last decade, Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks have been widely studied because of their peculiar aspects that distinguish them from common wireless terrestrial networks. Their applications range from environmental monitoring to military defense. The definition of efficient routing protocols in underwater sensor networks is a challenging topic of research because of the intrinsic characteristics of these networks, such as the need of handling the node mobility and the difficulty in balancing the energy consumed by the nodes. Depth-Based Routing protocol is an opportunistic routing protocol for Underwater Sensor Networks which provides good performance both under high and low node mobility scenarios. The main contribution of our work is presenting a novel simulator for studying Depth-Based Routing protocol and its variants as well as novel routing protocols. Our simulator is based on AquaSim-Next-Generation which is a specialized tool for studying underwater networks. With our work, we improve the state of the art of underwater routing protocol simulators by implementing, among other features, a detailed cross-layer communication and an accurate model of the
operational modes of acoustic modem and their energy consumption. The simulator is open source and freely downloadable. Moreover, we propose a novel and completely distributed routing protocol, named Residual energy-Depth based routing. It takes into account the residual energy at the
nodes’ batteries to select the forwarder nodes and improves the network lifetime by providing a more uniform energy consumption among them. We compare its performance with that of Depth-Based Routing protocol and a receiver-based routing protocol implementing a probabilistic opportunistic forwarding scheme
Benchmarking fully analytic DFT force fields for vibrational spectroscopy: A study on halogenated compounds
No full textThis work presents an investigation of the theoretical predictions yielded by anharmonic force fields having the cubic and quartic force constants are computed analytically by means of density functional theory (DFT) using the recursive scheme developed by M. Ringholm et al. (J. Comput. Chem. 35 (2014) 622). Different functionals (namely B3LYP, PBE, PBE0 and PW86x) and basis sets were used for calculating the anharmonic vibrational spectra of two halomethanes. The benchmark analysis carried out demonstrates the reliability and overall good performances offered by hybrid approaches, where the harmonic data obtained at the coupled cluster with single and double excitations level of theory augmented by a perturbational estimate of the effects of connected triple excitations, CCSD(T), are combined with the fully analytic higher order force constants yielded by DFT functionals. These methods lead to reliable and computationally affordable calculations of anharmonic vibrational spectra with an accuracy comparable to that yielded by hybrid force fields having the anharmonic force fields computed at second order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) level of theory using numerical differentiation but without the corresponding potential issues related to computational costs and numerical errors
