The co-evolution of ecosystem and university’s roles: a focus on the integration of technologies and cultural heritage.
No full textInnovation and entrepreneurial ecosystems’ viability is related to knowledge creation, exchange, and re-combination, and the pivotal role of universities in these contexts is widely recognised. Recently, scholars have directed attention to their role as entrepreneurial universities, with a focus on the propelling activities of their technology transfer offices. However, a clear analysis of universities’ roles in ecosystems is still missing. To fill this gap, we conduct a qualitative case study to investigate the different roles universities play during the emergence and development of an ecosystem, focusing on their co-evolution. As cultural industries are cogent examples of contexts where technologies are used with a more human-centric approach, we selected the high-technology district for the cultural heritage of Campania, a region in Southern Italy. The longitudinal and retrospective perspectives adopted allow us to highlight how the participants’ roles and the relationships among them are promoted and encouraged by universities. During the ecosystem emergence, universities co-evolve their roles, acting as initiators, facilitators, coordinators, and stimulators. This co-evolution is further supported by technology that develops solutions for collaboration and knowledge exchange
An appraisal on adaptation to xeric environments of tree and shrub species through wood anatomical and chemical traits
No full textOmni-channel communication in cultural services.
No full textThe research aims to underline the increasing importance of digital communication in stimulating service experience in museums (Siu et al., 2013; Di Pietro et al., 2014). The museums’ need to attract audience is an emerging issue, especially as the European Union has launched different funding programmes on the audience development (Bamford and Wimmer, 2012).
Museums challenges to develop new communication strategies and the innovative initiatives cultural managers are experimenting to attract visitors seem to be increasingly related to the already known concept of omnichannel communication in retailing (Verhoef et al., 2015). These features are even more relevant for the twenty autonomous public museums in Italy, as the autonomy in the resource management has been the driving force for the development of new initiatives, especially concerning communication.
This research analyses the impacts of the different communication initiatives of the National Archaeological Museum of Naples (MANN) through the lens of omnichannel strategies

No full textA-B Droplets for a Two-Dimensional antiferromagnetic Ising Model in External Field H
No full textThe A-B site-bond percolation in the antiferromagnetic Ising model in an external field H is studied with the infinitesimal Migdal-Kadanoff renormalisation group. It is shown that for H=0 the clusters of holes and particles diverge at the Ising critical point K=Kc with the bond concentration pB in the range 1-exp(- mod Kc mod /2)<or=PB<or=1 as in the Coniglio-Klein model. For H not=0 the thermal antiferromagnetic critical line coincides with the percolation lines for a wider range of pB, i.e. pBmin(K)<or=pB(K)<or=1 where pBmin(K)<1-exp(- mod K mod /2)
Comparative Analysis of the Effect of Carbon- and Titanium-Ions Irradiation on Morpho-Anatomical and Biochemical Traits of <i>Dolichos melanophthalmus</i> DC. Seedlings Aimed to Space Exploration
No full textThe realization of manned missions for space exploration requires the development of Bioregenerative Life Support Systems (BLSSs) to make human colonies self-sufficient in terms of resources. Indeed, in these systems, plants contribute to resource regeneration and food production. However, the cultivation of plants in space is influenced by ionizing radiation which can have positive, null, or negative effects on plant growth depending on intrinsic and environmental/cultivation factors. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of high-LET (Linear Energy Transfer) ionizing radiation on seed germination and seedling development in eye bean. Dry seeds of Dolichos melanophthalmus DC. (eye bean) were irradiated with two doses (1 and 10 Gy) of C- and Ti-ions. Seedlings from irradiated seeds were compared with non-irradiated controls in terms of morpho-anatomical and biochemical traits. Results showed that the responses of eye bean plants to radiation are dose-specific and dependent on the type of ion. The information obtained from this study will be useful for evaluating the radio-resistance of eye bean seedlings, for their possible cultivation and utilization as food supplement in space environments
