Non-linear multi-block partial least squares via uni-variate and bivariate B-splines
No full textIn the last decade much effort has been spent modelling dependence among variables to probe the relationships between response variables and predictor ones observed at different occasions/spaces/times. In this paper we propose a non-linear generalization of mult-block Partial Least Squares using multivariate additive splines. We show the method performance on real sensory data sets
L’ACIMO-PLS e i Modelli Strutturali per la valutazione multi-modulo della Customer Satisfaction:un approccio integrato
No full textTensorial Co-Structure Analysis for the Full Multi Modules Customer Satisfaction Evaluation
No full textIn letteratura sono state proposte differenti tecniche per la valutazione della Customer Satisfaction (CS), spesso basate sul concetto di gap. In questo contributo, nel caso di più rilevazioni sulle stesse unità statistiche, viene proposta una strategia di analisi integrata che consente di scomporre l’analisi del gap tra qualità percepita ed attesa in ulteriori componenti da analizzare ai fini di un miglioramento del servizio

No full textImmunoreactivity for substance P (SP-LI) and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP-LI) in the stomach, duodenum, jejunum and ileum of young (3-month-old), adult (12-month-old) and old (28-month-old) male Wistar rats were determined by radioimmunoassay. SP-LI and VIP-LI did not show changes in the stomach or in the small intestine portions investigated in adult in comparison with young rats. In old rats SP-LI levels were unchanged in the stomach and in the duodenum, reduced in the jejunum and increased in the ileum. VIP-LI concentrations were unchanged in the stomach, and remarkably reduced in the duodenum, jejunum and ileum of old rats. Since the two neuropeptides investigated are localized primarily within different intrinsic gastrointestinal neurons, the present findings suggest that the various populations of gastrointestinal neurons are affected in a different manner during aging
From Wastescapes Towards Regenerative Territories. A Structural Approach for Achieving Circularity
No full textIn this chapter, the understanding of circularity goes beyond material resource management, deepening the spatial implications of a more circular management and use of wastescapes, investigated at the urban and metropolitan scale. Besides the health (care) related challenges presented by the current outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, additional ones related to our living environment have been—and will continue to be—an urgent call for academic researchers, designers and policymakers to find (eco)innovative solutions and strategies for enhancing the quality of life of all and the availability of more and more safe public (open) spaces and facilities to sustain this. In this situation, the spaces most at risk of urban and peri-urban areas could be found in the unresolved places which are defined as wastescapes, since they are in general still poorly used and valued. Building on the European H2020 research project REPAiR, the definition of wastescapes, provided in this study, builds upon work for two main cases: the metropolitan areas of Amsterdam (The Netherlands) and Naples (Italy). Wastescapes are discarded territories, however, they can also be understood as opportunities to realize regenerative concepts and support strategies related to environmental, spatial and social challenges of the territories and their surroundings. Core is then to improve the socio-ecological values of such territories. Wastescapes are different case by case, being affected by site-specific challenges and characterized by high complexity. The research presented in this chapter shows that the route towards a Circular Economy requires the consideration of wastescapes as ‘spatial resources’ important to be included in strategies of transition. It represents a fundamental step to overcome problems related to both resource (and land) scarcity, land use in general and spatial fragmentation, while providing opportunities to include through eco-innovative services other values than just the monetary ones to society. The spatial regeneration of wastescapes in the built environment involves a re-thinking of the structure of these areas in a larger (metropolitan) context. Within such metropolitan settings, in particular peri-urban territories, also referred to as the areas in-between urban and rural landscapes, are most affected and characterized by this problem of wastescapes.Environmental Technology and Desig
