Il macromodulo Build-Safe del Progetto Europeo DrHouse
No full textNell‟ambito del programma “Civil Protection Preparatory Action on an EU Rapid Response Capability” la Commissione Europea ha finanziato il progetto DrHouse finalizzato alla definizione, preparazione, mantenimento ed eventuale dispiego, fino a 15.000 Km di distanza, di un macro-modulo di protezione civile europea relativo alla valutazione di agibilità e danno di edifici danneggiati da sisma ed alla loro successiva messa in sicurezza. I partners del progetto sono il Dipartimento di Protezione Civile, Eucentre ed il Dipartimento dei Vigili del Fuoco, del Soccorso Pubblico e della Difesa Civile. Il macro-modulo si compone di tre moduli, il primo finalizzato alla valutazione convenzionale, visiva, dell‟agibilità e del danno di edifici, il secondo alla valutazione avanzata numerico-sperimentale ed il terzo alla messa in sicurezza degli stessi. L‟articolo, dopo aver descritto in dettaglio il Meccanismo Comunitario di Protezione Civile, illustra il progetto DrHouse ed i tre moduli di intervento
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Comparison of Model-Based Techniques for Vehicle Sideslip Angle Estimation
No full textIn the automotive industry, on-board vehicle estimation of the side-slip angle plays a fundamental role in applications related to autonomous driving and within the design of active safety systems for controlling vehicle lateral dynamics. To ensure the availability of the real-time monitoring of this quantity, which can only be measured through sophisticated and expensive systems, various virtual sensing techniques have been developed in the literature. In this scenario, it is essential to find a balance between estimation robustness and computational burden to ensure the algorithm to be employable in embedded devices for on-board applications. The current paper proposes analytical and graphical analysis aimed at examining the estimation accuracy of various physical model-based methodologies, differing in terms of numerical complexity and computational cost, but employing equal tire and vehicle modelling formulation. The numerical results have been compared with accurate side-slip angle measurements, acquired during on-track test sessions, which also included the low-end sensors’ signals employed into the proposed estimators
