Introduzione: Televisionismo. Narrazioni televisive della storia italiana negli anni della seconda Repubblica
Full text linkCon ‘televisionismo’ il presente volume intende la produzione del dramma storico televisivo che, a partire dagli anni Novanta, ha riscritto da un’ottica revisionistica i momenti chiave del passato nazionale che hanno determinato una memoria ‘divisa’ della nazione italiana. La forma popolare e fruibile delle fiction promuove la condivisione del passato, ma potrebbe anche manipolare la verità storica trasmessa. È su quest’ambivalenza che vertono i contributi in cui si analizzano le serie televisive prodotte dalla Rai e da Mediaset

PIDR(s): IDR(s) as a Projection Method
No full textThe Induced Dimension Reduction(s) method (or the IDR(s) method) is an example of an iterative method used for solving systems of linear equations. Projection methods are a special type of iterative method. They find an approximate solution in a subspace (the right subspace) by requiring that the residual is orthogonal to another subspace (the left subspace). In this thesis we investigate how we can implement IDR(s) as a projection method. We call this method IDR(s), which stands for Projected IDR(s).We present an implementation of PIDR(s) for solving systems of linear equations and for solving eigenvalue problems. These implementations are not meant to be optimal, but they are used to show that IDR(s) can indeed be seen as a projection method.Track: educationScience Education and CommunicationApplied Science
Smart Phones for a Smart City: Requirements for Context Aware Mobile Application for Landscape and Urban Planning
No full textTechnologies collecting location-based data in the real world have advantagesover traditional methods for landscape perception research. Thepossibility to relate geo-referenced responses of inhabitants to the physicaland social data in expert GIS databases can lead to new insights into thedifference between laymen and expert opinions and may result in adjustmentsof policy forming. To date, the use of Social Sensing in Landscapeperception and valuing is limited. This research presents the set of requirementsfor a mobile application for landscape and urban planning, discussessome of the main challenges, and concludes that a number of evaluatedexisting mobile applications just partly meet those requirements.Landscape ArchitectureAlgorithmicsInteractive IntelligenceSystem Engineerin

Modelling urban run-off : a quasilinear approach
No full textThe non-linear behaviour of catchments, as ascertained by various investigators, is discussed. Blackbox analysis with Laguerre functions shows non-linear behaviour for a small urban catchment area. Some approaches to non-linear systems for rainfall and run-off are considered. Two quasilinear methods are compared with a theoretical model for their application. Results from an application of the most promising method on an urban catchment area confirm the feasibility of this method. Six conceptual models are compared and an application of the quasilinear method is given with a conceptual model. A satisfactory treatment of losses forms a major problem in modelling urban rainfall and run-off. Hence a chapter is devoted to transformation of rainfall into sewer inflow and concurrent losses. The use of critical sequences of rainfall for modelling is discussed. Evidence suggesting the maximum time interval between samples is given.<p/
Waiting and rebalancing strategies in an urban waterborne transport environment
No full textThis thesis explores waiting and rebalancing strategies in urban waterborne transport, intending to improve the efficiency and operational performance of water transportation systems. The study is based on a review of the literature on waterborne transport and waiting and rebalancing strategies. This is followed by a case study where the found strategies will be implemented for the water taxi case in Rotterdam.The literature review provides an overview of the current state of research on waterborne transport, highlighting its potential as a sustainable and efficient mode of urban mobility. The review also identifies waiting and rebalancing strategies as key factors for improving the performance of water transportation systems. Waiting strategies involve managing the distribution of slack time in the route of the vehicle, while rebalancing strategies aim to optimize the use of resources by redistributing vessels across the service area.The implementation of waiting and rebalancing strategies on the water taxi system in Rotterdam provides a practical example of how waiting and rebalancing strategies can be implemented in a real-world context. This study analyzes the performance of the water taxi system using the actual data provided by Flying Fish. The analysis results in a clear overview of the requirements of the experimental setup that is needed to evaluate the strategies in this specific waterborne transport environment.A detailed description of the simulation model is given. The simulation model is based on a mobility-on-demand simulation model. Multiple modifications needed to be made in order to fit the model to the water taxi scenario. After a working simulation model has been created, a benchmark is created to make a comparison between the strategies.The experiments reveal that waiting and rebalancing strategies can be effective in improving the performance of water transportation systems, but their implementation requires careful planning and coordination. The study identifies several strategies that improve the systems performance in terms of one factor, but deteriorate other performance factors. The trade-off between pick-up delay on one side and the vehicle usage and traveled distance on the other side is a recurring theme when looking at the results of the strategies.Overall, the findings of this research contribute to the growing body of knowledge on innovative solutions for urban mobility and provide a basis for further exploration and implementation of waiting and rebalancing strategies in waterborne transport systems. The study highlights the potential of these strategies to improve the efficiency of urban transport and underscores the importance of considering waterborne transport as a viable and valuable mode of urban mobility.Mechanical Engineering | Multi-Machine Engineerin
