No full textSentient Spaces: Intelligent Totem Use Case in the ECSEL FRACTAL Project
No full textThe objective of the FRACTAL project is to create a novel approach to reliable edge computing. The FRACTAL computing node will be the building block of scalable Internet of Things (from Low Computing to High Computing Edge Nodes). The node will also have the capability of learning how to improve its performance against the uncertainty of the environment. In such a context, this paper presents in detail one of the key use cases: an Internet-of-Things solution, represented by intelligent totems for advertisement and wayfinding services, within advanced ICT-based shopping malls conceived as a sentient space. The paper outlines the reference scenario and provides an overview of the architecture and the functionality of the demonstrator, as well as a roadmap for its development and evaluation

Seismic waves and acoustic waves: from earthquake to music
No full textINGV is currently the largest European scientific institution dealing with Earth Sciences research and real-time
surveillance, early warning, and forecast activities in geophysics and volcanology. The Laboratorio Didattica e
Divulgazione Scientifica of INGV organizes every year rich educational and outreach activities with schools of
different levels and with general public to convey scientific knowledge and to promote research on science and
nature, focusing on volcanic and seismic hazard. The activities encompass a wide variety of formats, such as the
opening of our labs to schools for guided visits, contributing to national (e.g., the Italian “Week of the Scientific
Culture”, launched by the Ministry of Education and Research) and international (e.g., the European “Night of the
Researchers”) events, editing educational videos, creating multimedia tools also available on the Web. Moreover,
we contribute to expositions and science festivals organizing exhibitions with experiments, models, and exhibits
designed to teaching and learning geophysics. Finally, we offer guided visits to the control rooms run by our
Institute, which ensures the round-the-clock volcanic and seismic surveillance of the whole Italian territory.
During the Week of the Scientific Culture and the Night of the Researchers we opened our Institute to the general
public, in order to show our laboratories, to talk about new researches on Earth Sciences and to explain the
volcanic and seismic risk and the related surveillance activities. These initiatives are widely appreciated by the
community and we organized special events with the aim to inspire curiosity toward scientific research, and to
facilitate the approach of the general public to science and nature. The special event of the 2010 programmes
was a scientific-musical format: Seismic waves and acoustic waves, from earthquake to music. The aim of this
project was to involve the public in scientific events offering happening where the scientific language is mediate
through the language of the music. In this way, scientific phenomenon are brought in using emotion, making
easier the understanding of the scientific themes. The format started with short lectures on earthquake and seismic
wave propagation to move on the comparison between the seismic waves and the acoustic waves. We used
seismograms, acoustic instruments, the voice, and the Earth sounds to explain the relation between earthquake
waves and music. The scientific talks were organized to create a trail that, through emotion and curiosity, guides
the public to the discovery and comprehension of the scientific phenomenon. The final part of the event was
devoted to classical/jazz/blues live concerts performed by groups and ensembles, some of them arranged by INGV
researchers. As a general result, thanks to this project we joined science and community, merging the INGV
mission with the public expectation. This scientific-musical format represented an experimental outreach project,
new, stimulating, and appreciated by the audience that can be used as good practice of scientific divulgation.PublishedVienna- Austria5.9. Formazione e informazioneope

INFORMAZIONE E FORMAZIONE IN EMERGENZA: INTERVENTI A SEGUITO DEL TERREMOTO DELL’AQUILA DEL 6 APRILE 2009
No full textQuesto lavoro descrive tutte le attività di informazione, a seguito del terremoto dell’Aquila del 6 aprile 2009, rivolte al Dipartimento della Protezione Civile (DPC), agli operatori coinvolti nell’emergenza,
alla popolazione colpita dal terremoto e agli insegnanti delle scuole che hanno ripreso l’attività scolastica subito dopo il terremoto e in settembre. Si tratta di iniziative nate dall’incontro
di diverse esperienze e professionalità maturate in questi ultimi anni nell’ambito di progetti di riduzione del rischio sismico e nel settore dell’informazione e della gestione delle emergenze.PublishedTrieste5.9. Formazione e informazioneope

Esperimento di sismica passiva per lo studio di dettaglio dei vulcani di fango nella Riserva Naturale Regionale delle Salse di Nirano (Modena)
No full textI vulcanelli di fango rappresentano l’espressione superficiale di sistemi geologici spesso caratterizzati da elevate pressioni dei fluidi in profondità che deviano dalle condizioni idrostatiche e che determinano la fuoriuscita di fluidi e fango. Morfologicamente un vulcano di fango è rappresentato da una piccola collina, alta da pochi decimetri a parecchi metri, che erutta argilla mista ad acqua, unita a sostanze saline come acque salso-bromo-iodiche, ed anche metano e idrocarburi (bitume). I vulcani di fango sono presenti in tutto il mondo e sono noti anche in Italia, dove sono spesso saliti alla ribalta in occasioni di sequenze sismiche importanti come in Emilia nel 2012 o nel centro Italia nel 2016 [EMERGEO, 2016]. Tra il 2012 e il 2013 sono stati svolti degli studi multidisciplinari per testare gli effetti pre- e post-sismici generati dai terremoti lontani ed è stata usata come laboratorio naturale la Riserva Naturale Regionale delle Salse di Nirano presso il comune di Fiorano Modenese (Modena), nota fin dall’antichità per tale fenomeno geologico [Lupi et al., 2016]. A seguire, nella primavera del 2016, per far luce sui segnali sismici associati all’attività di emissione di fango, è stata implementata una piccola rete sismica temporanea composta da 7 stazioni all’interno della Riserva. Lo scopo dell’esperimento era l’acquisizione continua per un periodo sufficiente da poter identificare i diversi tipi di segnali generati da questo sistema attivo e caratterizzarlo da un punto di vista sismologico. L’esperimento è frutto di una collaborazione internazionale tra il Dipartimento di Scienze della terra dell’Università di Ginevra (Université De Genève, Section of Earth and Environmental Sciences Section of Earth and Environmental Sciences UNIGE) e l’Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV). In questo rapporto tecnico, viene descritto l’esperimento di sismica passiva, ovvero la progettazione ed l’implementazione della rete temporanea che ha acquisito in locale dall’inizio del mese di aprile sino a fine giugno.Published1-282V.

The Central Apennines Teleseismic Transect (1995)
No full textIn the summer of 1995 a teleseismic transect was deployed across the
central Apennines. It is the second of a series of passive seismic field
experiments (Figure 1) planned for inferring information on the crust and
the upper mantle beneath the Italian region.
These studies on the deep structure are part of a m u l t i d i s c i p l i n a ry
two years project "Geodynamic Modeling of an active Region of the
Mediterranean: The Apennines" funded by the European Community
(contract EV5V-0464), whose final goal is the definition of a g e o d y n a m i c
model of the Apennines based on a variety of geological and geophysical
studies. For more details on the project see the Report on the Northern
Apennines teleseismic transect (Amato et al., 1995).Published1IT. Reti di monitoraggio e OsservazioniN/A or not JCRope
