No full textMetodologia per la valutazione della massima risalita plano-altimetrica del moto ondoso su spiaggia per via fotogrammetrica e GPS
No full textThe present work shows the survey and the analysis of the results of a measurement campaign for the calculation of the maximum planimetric and altimetric lift of the wave motion on the beach in particular marine situations with respect to the mean sea level condition. The run-up measurement was carried out through different surveying techniques, to integration and verification: stereoscopic and monoscopic photogrammetry, GPS satellite positioning. The 3D model of the beach, the orthophotos and the GPS tracks related to both the reference line of the shoreline in normal conditions and the line of maximum expansion of the wave on the beach have been so obtained. The integration of the survey techniques has allowed a satisfactory assessment of the maximum planimetric and altimetric lift of the wave
Melting of italian glaciers: analysis of the phenomenon in GIS environment
No full textItalian glaciers began to melt in the second half of the 19th century. The quantification of melting over time has been described in Glaciers Inventories. The present research aims to contribute to the understanding of the dynamics governing glacier melting as a function of different glacier types and geomorphological parameters analysed in GIS environment. The extent variation of 13 Italian glaciers from 1958 was evaluated by means of automatic classification of aerial images in the Free and Open-Source software GRASS GIS. On-site inspections were carried out too, to identify portions of the glaciers not identifiable by image classification, as well as any peculiarities and boundary conditions. Moreover, the influence of geomorphological parameters and boundary conditions were investigated, extending the analysis to 15 additional glaciers. The results showed that glaciers have undergone different area reductions, which can be correlated with different geographical and geomorphological features. A higher tendency to melt was found in those glacial masses that had an initial size less than 1 km2, located in the western sector of the Alps, at medium-low altitudes and facing south. Moreover, the lack of feeding from the surrounding slopes and from glacial masses located at higher altitudes, the lack of snow cover or thick debris during the summer season and a dark geological bedrock increase the phenomenon
The GNSS for Meteorology (G4M) Procedure and Its Application to Four Significant Weather Events
No full textThe authors conceived the GNSS for Meteorology (G4M) procedure to remote-sense the Precipitable Water Vapor (PWV) content in atmosphere with the aim to detect severe meteorological phenomena. It can be applied over an orographically complex area, exploiting existing networks of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Permanent Stations (PSs) and spread meteorological sensors, not necessarily co-located. The results of a posteriori analysis of four significant meteorological events are here presented, also in comparison with rain gauge data, to show the effectiveness of the method. The potentiality of G4M to detect and locate in space and time intense rainfall events is highlighted. The upcoming application of G4M in near-real time could provide a valuable support to existing Decision Support System for meteorological alerts
Paris and Popular Theatre in Robert Michels La foule and the Audience in the Years of Classical Sociology
No full textMichels’ analysis was aimed not only at la foule per se, but, above all,
the audience. In his readings of the popular theatre experience and of the
everyday life of the café concerts, created by the spread of the popular press
as a medium, he hunted for the relevance of the audience, in whom the imi-
tative faculties of social actors found an unprecedented development toward
a sacralization process. If la foule could therefore be defined within the conceptual frame of Gabriel Tarde’s work

Innovations in geomatics teaching during the COVID-19 emergency
No full textThe approach in the teaching process is changing, thanks to the increased awareness that a higher students’ involvement
leads to a better quality of their learning. The aim is to make the students more participative, avoiding a unidirectional lesson
and encouraging their wish to keep updated on the course advancements. However, innovative teaching methodologies are
not yet widespread, mainly in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) disciplines. At the University
of Genoa, the experimentation of innovative teaching techniques has been significant and worthy especially because it was
planned before the COVID-19 emergency and applied in the scenario of forced remote teaching. Thanks to the introduc-
tion of novel technological instruments, several techniques have been exploited to realize interactive lessons and promoting
students’ involvement. The present work discloses the employed techniques and frames them within the state of the art of
innovative teaching, highlighting their contribution in the teaching activities related to the Geomatics field of knowledge.
The acquired experiences in Geomatics dissemination and a critical analysis, including teachers’ and students’ perception
about the tested innovative teaching/learning tools, are also reported. In general, the innovations introduced in teaching and
learning processes during the COVID-19 sanitary emergency were warmly received by the entire community, including
teachers, students, and teaching assistants
Data of cost-optimal solutions and retrofit design methods for school renovation in a warm climate
No full textAbstract"Efficient Solutions and Cost-Optimal Analysis for Existing School Buildings" (Paolo Maria Congedo, Delia D’Agostino, Cristina Baglivo, Giuliano Tornese, Ilaria Zacà) [1] is the paper that refers to this article. It reports the data related to the establishment of several variants of energy efficient retrofit measures selected for two existing school buildings located in the Mediterranean area. In compliance with the cost-optimal analysis described in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and its guidelines (EU, Directive, EU 244,) [2,3], these data are useful for the integration of renewable energy sources and high performance technical systems for school renovation. The data of cost-efficient high performance solutions are provided in tables that are explained within the following sections.The data focus on the describe school refurbishment sector to which European policies and investments are directed. A methodological approach already used in previous studies about new buildings is followed (Baglivo Cristina, Congedo Paolo Maria, D׳Agostino Delia, Zacà Ilaria, 2015; IlariaZacà, Delia D’Agostino, Paolo Maria Congedo, Cristina Baglivo; Baglivo Cristina, Congedo Paolo Maria, D’Agostino Delia, Zacà Ilaria, 2015; Ilaria Zacà, Delia D’Agostino, Paolo Maria Congedo, Cristina Baglivo, 2015; Paolo Maria Congedo, Cristina Baglivo, IlariaZacà, Delia D’Agostino,2015) [4–8]. The files give the cost-optimal solutions for a kindergarten (REF1) and a nursery (REF2) school located in Sanarica and Squinzano (province of Lecce Southern Italy). The two reference buildings differ for construction period, materials and systems.The eleven tables provided contain data about the localization of the buildings, geometrical features and thermal properties of the envelope, as well as the energy efficiency measures related to walls, windows, heating, cooling, dhw and renewables. Output values of energy consumption, gas emission and costs are given for a financial and a macro-economic analysis.This data article provides 288 and 96 combinations for REF1 and REF2, respectively. The output values are obtained using the software ProCasaClima 2015v.2.0
