    LA LAVAGNA INTERATTIVA MULTIMEDIALE (LIM) A SUPPORTO DEGLI STUDENTI DISLESSICI

    No full text
    L'Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia offre pari opportunità di formazione a tutti gli studenti, compresi quelli con DSA. Gli strumenti adottati per favorire l'apprendimento di questi ultimi sono, innanzitutto, l'utilizzo di ausili dispensativi e la concessione di misure compensative. In particolare, tra i possibili ausili utilizzati per la didattica universitaria l'Ateneo di Modena e Reggio Emilia ha impiegato un numero consistente di Lavagne interattive Multimediali (LIM) all'interno di un progetto valutato positivamente dal MIUR. Scopo di tale progetto era quello di adottare una nuova serie di strumenti informatici che favorissero l'apprendimento di alunni con DSA

    VISION IN THE NEONATE (FULL TERM AND PREMATURE): PRELIMINART RESULT OF THE APPLICATION OF SOME TESTING METHODS

    No full text
    Little information is avaible on the functionally of the visual system in neonates,. Comparison was made between neonates born at full term and prematures equated for conceptional age, using two methods of investigation: the visual evoked potential (VEP) and the "forced preferential lookun" (FPL). The results obtained by the FPL method indicate a grater visual acuity in premature subjects, whereas the results obtained by the VEP method point to non significant difference of implicit time between the two groups

    High Resolution Numerical Simulations of Harbour Oscillations

    No full text
    In this paper we investigate the so-called harbour oscillations problem by means of efficient time-domain high-resolution numerical simulations. The method proposed here is able to handle an arbitrary geometry of the docks/piers and variable water depth, so that reflection, diffraction and refraction effects are taken into account simultaneously. Partial absorption from selected walls/protections can also be introduced and tuned locally. A very efficient technique for the absorption of outgoing waves is also implemented. Due to the specific parallel implementation of the code according to the Message Passing Interface (MPI), the numerical scheme is able to handle quite large physical domains with extremely good computing performances (e.g. 600m x 600m on a 20 CPU’s cluster with 40 Gb of RAM) with high resolution grids the allow the analysis with cells size of approximately 1mx1m in full scale. Some “academic” test cases are presented first, comparing the results to analytical and experimental data available in the literature. As a practical case study, the method has been applied to the harbour of Trieste (Italy-North Adriatic Sea) with actual sea spectra from North-West to South-West

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
