    No full text
    The aim of this paper is to present the main issues concerning the protection of outdoor workers from UV natural radiation, in order to prevent the UV adverse effects, and to discuss the current measurement tools available for workers, evidencing their deficits. A wearable smart sensor for monitoring the effective exposure of the individual worker is proposed as innovative solution

    Finite-Field Consensus

    No full text
    This work studies consensus networks over finite fields, where agents process and communicate values from the set of integers f0; : : : ; p 1g, for some prime number p, and operations are performed modulo p. For consensus networks over finite fields we provide necessary and sufficient conditions on the network topology and weights to ensure convergence. For instance we show that, differently from the case of consensus networks over the field of real numbers, consensus networks over finite fields converge in finite time, and that properties of the agents interaction graph are not sufficient to ensure finitefield consensus. Finally, we discuss the application of finite-field consensus to distributed averaging in sensor network

    Il campione e l’analisi dei dati

    Nella prima parte vengono descritte la selezione e le caratteristiche del campione delle scuole AE: partendo dai criteri di ammissibilità, vengono illustrate le varie fasi che hanno guidato l’indagine conoscitiva, dalla pura interrogazione del database, all’accertamento dei requisiti attraverso interviste telefoniche ai Dirigenti scolastici fino alla definizione del campione. L’analisi presentata in questo capitolo si basa su dati MIUR e INDIRE e descrive le caratteristiche del campione di scuole considerato nell’indagine facendo, ove possibile, un confronto tra queste e la media a livello nazionale di scuole secondarie di secondo grado sulla base dei seguenti indicatori: la locazione geografica, la tipologia di Istituto, il tasso di abbandono degli studenti, il tasso di studenti disabili, di DSA e di stranieri, il tasso di studenti rimandati e ammessi nel biennio e nel triennio

    Della Borra

    No full text
    Per la prima volta questo vitigno è stato segnalato da Basso in Garfagnana (Basso, 1992) che lo ha introdotto nella collezione 'Vitiarium' dell'Agricola San Felice a Siena (Basso, 1993). Basso suggerisce che questo vitigno possa essere sinonimo del 'Montanino n. di cui al momento si sono perse le tracce. Più recentemente il Della Borra è stato nuovamente censito in Garfagnana, genotipizzandolo e introducendolo in un apposito vigneto collezione in loco (D'Onofrio et al., 2015). Appare essere presente esclusivamente in Garfagnana, dove ha un distribuzione sporadica. Non corrisponde a nessuno dei genotipi presenti nei vari database viticoli, e presenta delle relazioni di parentela di primo grado con 'Barbarossa toscana' ed 'Empano', entrambi vitigni diffusi in Toscana ma non esclusivi della Garfagnana, e il 'Rollo/Pagadebiti', vitigno individuato in Garfagnana ma diffuso anche in altre aree italiane (D'Onofrio et al., 2005). L’uva e’ dolce, di sapore neutro gradevole. Matura entro la fine di settembre

    Effective models and predictability of chaotic multiscale systems via machine learning

    No full text
    Understanding and modeling the dynamics of multiscale systems is a problem of considerable interest both for theory and applications. For unavoidable practical reasons, in multiscale systems, there is the need to eliminate from the description the fast and small-scale degrees of freedom and thus build effective models for only the slow and large-scale degrees of freedom. When there is a wide scale separation between the degrees of freedom, asymptotic techniques, such as the adiabatic approximation, can be used for devising such effective models, while away from this limit there exist no systematic techniques. Here, we scrutinize the use of machine learning, based on reservoir computing, to build data-driven effective models of multiscale chaotic systems. We show that, for a wide scale separation, machine learning generates effective models akin to those obtained using multiscale asymptotic techniques and, remarkably, remains effective in predictability also when the scale separation is reduced. We also show that predictability can be improved by hybridizing the reservoir with an imperfect model

    Optimal collision avoidance in swarms of active Brownian particles

    No full text
    The effectiveness of collective navigation of biological or artificial agents requires to accommodate for contrasting requirements, such as staying in a group while avoiding close encounters and at the same time limiting the energy expenditure for maneuvering. Here, we address this problem by considering a system of active Brownian particles in a finite two-dimensional domain and ask what is the control that realizes the optimal tradeoff between collision avoidance and control expenditure. We couch this problem in the language of optimal stochastic control theory and by means of a mean-field game approach we derive an analytic mean-field solution, characterized by a second-order phase transition in the alignment order parameter. We find that a mean-field version of a classical model for collective motion based on alignment interactions (Vicsek model) performs remarkably close to the optimal control. Our results substantiate the view that observed group behaviors may be explained as the result of optimizing multiple objectives and offer a theoretical ground for biomimetic algorithms used for artificial agents

    Estimation of the sound field at arbitrary positions in distributed microphone networks based on distributed ray space transform

    No full text
    In this paper we propose a parametric sound field reconstruction approach. In particular, the technique is based on the estimation of three parameters for each acoustic source (source position, radiation pattern and source signal) given the signals acquired by few arbitrarily placed microphone arrays. This allows us to synthesize the signal of a virtual microphone placed in any point of the acoustic scene
