    Le mura di Ariminum in Palazzo Agolanti-Pedrocca.Indagine archeologica e restauro architettonico. Il restauro scientifico di Palazzo Agolanti-Pedrocca a Rimini (2008-2013)

    No full text
    Il libro tratta dell'indagine archeologica e del restauro scientifico del Palazzo Agolanti-Pedrocca, edificio storico seicentesco situato nel centro della città di Rimini. La sua caratteristica saliente è l'inclusione di un tratto di mura urbiche romane del III secolo d.c.. Il contributo firmato dagli autori Alessandro Mori e Rossella Roversi, che hanno effettuato l'intervento in qualità di progettisti e direttori lavori, ricostruisce la storia del palazzo, ne analizza il degrado, descrive i criteri di intervento, le tecniche e le tecnologie adottate nel consolidamento e nel restauro scientifico dell'edificio e delle strutture rinvenute negli scavi archeologici. Si è curata anche la rassegna fotografica che chiude il volume

    Impact of Interference Subtraction on Grant-Free Multiple Access with Massive MIMO

    The design of highly scalable multiple access schemes is a main challenge in the evolution towards future massive machine-type communications, where reliability and latency constraints must be ensured to a large number of uncoordinated devices. In this scenario, coded random access (CRA) schemes, where successive interference cancellation algorithms allow large improvements with respect to classical random access protocols, have recently attracted an increasing interest. Impressive performance can be potentially obtained by combining CRA with massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO). In this paper we provide an analysis of such schemes focusing on the effects of imperfect channel estimation on successive interference cancellation. Based on the analysis we then propose an innovative signal processing algorithm for CRA in massive MIMO systems

    Effects on the quality and nutritional traits of wood strawberry fruits in Sicily.

    In Sicily, the common woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca) is spontaneous in the Madonie Mountains (554 m a.s.l.), Nebrodi Mountains (850 m) and Mount Etna (900 m). In this region, the main clone cultivated is ‘Fragolina di Sciacca e Ribera’, named after the towns where the crop originally developed. It is a Junebearing genotype and it is characterized by very small fruits, globose-conical shape, deep red colour, very soft flesh, strong aroma and flavor. Also ever-bearing clones are cultivated in Sicily where they are cropped for many months. Solid soluble content, total titratable acidity, total antioxidant capacity, total polyphenols and anthocyanins content were quantified in berry samples of ‘Fragolina di Sciacca e Ribera’ and ‘Regina delle Valli’ (ever-bearing) grown in two production sites in Sicily (Bronte-Etna mount and Marsala) characterized by different soils, climatic conditions and altitudes (890 and 24 m a.s.l., respectively)

    Cold-storage effects on strawberry fruit quality traits and bioactive compounds

    No full text
    The results of a three-year trial designed to determine cold-storage effects on the stability of quality traits and bioactive compounds of ripe strawberry fruit indicate that soluble solids, sugars, acids and skin colour scored higher at harvest than after storage. Of the health-promoting compounds, storage affected only total polyphenols, leaving vitamin C, TAC and total anthocyanins without significant alterations

    THE TRANSITING PLANETARY SYSTEM WASP-86/KELT-12: TESS PROVIDES THE CASTING VOTE

    A transiting planetary system was discovered independently by two groups, under the names WASP-86 (Faedi et al.1) and KELT12 (Stevens et al.2). The properties of the system determined in these works were very different, most tellingly a variation of a factor of three in the measured radius of the planet. We suggest that the system be named WASP-86 / KELT-12 to better apportion the credit for discovery between the two groups. We analyse the light curve of this system from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, which observed it in two sectors, following the Homogeneous Studies approach. We find properties intermediate between the two previous studies: the star has a mass of 1.278 ± 0.039 M? and a radius of 2.02 ± 0.12 R?, and the planet has a mass of 0.833 ± 0.049 MJup and a radius of 1.382 ± 0.089 RJup. The discrepancy in the two previous sets of measured properties of the system arises from a disagreement over the transit depth and duration, caused by the transit being long and shallow so not well suited to follow-up photometry from ground-based telescopes. We also update the orbital ephemeris to aid future work on this system, which is a good candidate for characterising the atmosphere of a planet through transmission spectroscopy
