Replication Data for: LeftVentricle.exe
No full textThis program makes an objective reading of contrast ventriculograms starting from the end-diastolic and end-systolic silhouettes of the left ventricle. It calculates a contraction curve and processes a differential diagnosis, an analytical, verbal diagnosis, and a synthetic oral diagnosis, directly comparable with the reading of experienced angiographers

Osservazioni sull’indipendenza dell’esperienza immediata: da Frege alla «fenomenologia sperimentale» di Paolo Bozzi
No full textPaolo Bozzi developed his «experimental phenomenology» from the Gestalt psychology tradition, particularly from Gaetano Kanizsa’s method. The distinction between «phenomenal description» and «causal explanation» of the «perception» springs up from the analysis of Bozzi’s «S-D psychophysical scheme». What Frege, who was well-known by Bozzi, deals with in paragraph 71 of The Thought theoretically mirrors what is outlined in the Scheme and could also be intended as its source. The juxtaposition between a «science of observable things» or «experimental phenomenology» – conceived as a science which is autonomous from what happens in the brain – and logics, which is set up autonomously from the thinking processes, is a programmatic element that is openly indicated by the author. Frege’s anti-psychologism and realism are both widely shared by Bozzi. The realism and the «naïve physics» Bozzi was a pioneer of lie at the basis of the so-called «New Realism». The following essay aims to localize and highlight some theoretical implications – up to their phenomenological origins – which can be detected particularly in paragraph 71 of The Thought. The present work tries to sketch out the boundaries and the autonomy of the «first person» perceptive experience and to define the scientific explanation that we can give of it. The distinction between science and experience, and the autonomy of experience from science and of the immediate experience of the content of consciousness from neuroscience, entail the impossibility of a naturalization of the phenomenological experience. In the examples taken from Frege can be found a theoretical bridge which connects the Gestalt perceptological tradition, Wittgenstein’s investigations of the philosophy of psychology, and the so called «New Realism».</p
The pressure of experience pushes language into poetry. Fact, fistion, autofiction, and surfiction in Herta Müller's work
No full textOver the last fifteen years, the emergence of groundbreaking work on trauma in literature and critical theory has made a profound impact both within and beyond the field of literature. Müller surely represents and reflects upon the traumatic events of twentieth-century Europe, as well as the cultural diversity of East Central Europe; she feels compelled to write about them and to show her aversion to all forms of authoritarian rule. There is no doubt that Müller’s all-pervading concern with totalitarianism; her commitment to uncover political and cultural “truths” distinguishes her as an author for whom personal integrity is everything. In fact, Müller’s work is not only structured by a narrative of trauma, articulated with increasing directness, but also by a remarkable lyrical intensity, that manages to preserve a substantial, enriching imaginative space for the reader within such unremitting anger. Thus the reader is not only confronted with “autofiction,” as Müller herself suggests, but also with something akin to “surfiction,” a term coined by American author and critic Raymond Federman. I argue that this characteristic feature is not only a mark of her aesthetic achievement or her consummate artistry, but also the key to her convincing critical voice

Platooning-based control techniques in transportation and logistic
No full textThis thesis explores the integration of autonomous vehicle technology with smart manufacturing systems. At first, essential control methods for autonomous vehicles, including Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs), Linear Quadratic Regulation (LQR)/Linear Quadratic Tracking (LQT), PID controllers, and dynamic control logic via flowcharts, are examined. These techniques are adapted for platooning to enhance coordination, safety, and efficiency within vehicle fleets, and various scenarios are analyzed to confirm their effectiveness in achieving predetermined performance goals such as inter-vehicle distance and fuel consumption. A first approach on simplified hardware, yet realistic to model the vehicle's behavior, is treated to further prove the theoretical results.
Subsequently, performance improvement in smart manufacturing systems (SMS) is treated. The focus is placed on offline and online scheduling techniques exploiting Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) to model the shop floor and Model Predictive Control (MPC) to adapt scheduling to unforeseen events, in order to understand how optimization algorithms and decision-making frameworks can transform resource allocation and production processes, ultimately improving manufacturing efficiency.
In the final part of the work, platooning techniques are employed within SMS. Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are reimagined as autonomous vehicles, grouping them within platoon formations according to different criteria, and controlled to avoid collisions while carrying out production orders. This strategic integration applies platooning principles to transform AGV logistics within the SMS. The impact of AGV platooning on key performance metrics, such as makespan, is devised, providing insights into optimizing manufacturing processes.
Throughout this work, various research fields are examined, with intersecting future technologies from precise control in autonomous vehicles to the coordination of manufacturing resources. This thesis provides a comprehensive view of how optimization and automation can reshape efficiency and productivity not only in the domain of autonomous vehicles but also in manufacturing
