Social housing in Italy: Critical issues and prospects = L'affitto sociale in italia: Criticità e prospettive
(Societa Editrice il Mulino, 2018)Social housing in Italy is at its moment of truth, with new models of intervention such as the integrated system of fluids (SIF) - involving public and private investors - and the non-profit initiatives being tested. ... -
Flexible InGaZnO TFTs With f(max) Above 300 MHz
(IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 2018)In this letter, the AC performance and influence of bending on flexible IGZO thin-film transistors, exhibiting a maximum oscillation frequency (maximum power gain frequency) f(max) beyond 300 MHz, are presented. Self-alignment ... -
Strategies and systems towards grids and clouds integration: A DBMS-based solution
(Elsevier B.V., 2018)Cloud and Grid computing share some essential driving ideas although the computing and economic models are very different. In this paper, we propose different strategies for the Batch-oriented and Service-oriented computing ... -
A three-dimensional framework for multi-tier sustainable supply chain management
(2018)Purpose: This study aims to investigate the under-researched role of the sub-supplier’s direct environment in achieving compliance with multi-tier sustainable supply chain management (MT-SSCM) objectives. Design/methodol ... -
Flexible IGZO TFT SPICE Model and Design of Active Strain-Compensation Circuits for Bendable Active Matrix Arrays
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ({IEEE}), 2018)The detailed measurement and characterization of strain-induced performance variations in flexible InGaZnO thin-film transistors (IGZO TFTs) resulted in a SPICE TFT model able to simulate tensile and compressive bending. ... -
Improvement of contact resistance in flexible a-IGZO thin-film transistors by CF4/O-2 plasma treatment
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2018)In this work, we analyze the effect of CF4/O-2 plasma treatment on the contact interface between the amorphous Indium-Gallium-Zinc-Oxide (a-IGZO) semiconductor and Titanium-Gold electrodes. First, the influence of CF4/O-2 ... -
Multilevel parallelism for the exploration of large-scale graphs
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018)We present the most recent release of our parallel implementation of the BFS and BC algorithms for the study of large scale graphs. Although our reference platform is a high-end cluster of new generation NVIDIA GPUs and ... -
A Stochastic Latent Moment Model for Electricity Price Formation
(INFORMS, 2018)The wide range of models needed to support the various short-term operations for electricity generation demonstrates the importance of accurate specifications for the uncertainty in market prices. This is becoming increasingly ... -
Dynamic merging of frontiers for accelerating the evaluation of betweenness centrality
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2018)Betweenness Centrality (BC) is a widely used metric of the relevance of a node in a network. The fastestknown algorithm for the evaluation of BC on unweighted graphs builds a tree representing information about the shortest ... -
Sustainability tensions in supply chains: A case study of paradoxes and their management
(2018)The comprehensive coverage of sustainability issues in a supply chain incurs goal conflicts-i.e., sustainability tensions-and is often limited by market characteristics, such as the availability of sustainable materials ... -
Industry 4.0 Fostering Construction Supply Chain Management: Lessons Learned From Engineer-to-Order Suppliers
(2018)Industry 4.0 will certainly transform the manufacturing industry but it will also have an impact on the construction industry and its connected supply chains. However, construction faces different problems than manufacturing. ... -
Research Directions for Principles of Data Management (Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop 16151)
(2018)The area of Principles of Data Management (PDM) has made crucial contributions to the development of formal frameworks for understanding and managing data and knowledge. This work has involved a rich cross-fertilization ... -
Understanding greening supply chains: Proximity analysis can help
(2018)Supply chain management seeks efficiency. Inefficiencies cause various types of waste and commensurate costs. Supply chain actors differ resulting in proximity issues. Proximity is introduced here as distances on four ... -
Natural language and “mathematics languages”: Intuitive models and stereotypes in the mathematics classroom
(2018)Through episodes taken from various research studies in mathematics education carried out over the years by one of the authors, we bring evidence of the interference between natural language and specific language. Within ... -
Copula-based clustering methods
(Springer International Publishing, 2017)We review some recent clustering methods based on copulas. Specifically, in the dissimilarity-based clustering framework, we describe and compare methods based on concordance or tail-dependence concept. An illustration is ... -
Antimicrobial effect of Picea abies extracts on E. coli growth
(2019)This study aims to investigate the e ect of essential oils extracted from wood residues of Picea abies on the growth of Escherichia coli. The essential oils were extracted by supercritical carbon dioxide, leading to a yield ... -
Eddy covariance raw data processing for CO2 and energy fluxes calculation at ICOS ecosystem stations
(2018)The eddy covariance is a powerful technique to estimate the surface-atmosphere exchange of different scalars at the ecosystem scale. The EC method is central to the ecosystem component of the Integrated Carbon Observation ... -
A Methodology for Improving Vegetation Representation and Health Exploiting a Semantic Robotic System and Its Dynamic Stability Control
(2018)Precision farming technologies have been increasingly recognized for their potential ability for improving agricultural productivity, reducing production cost, and minimizing damage to the environment. In this context, the ... -
Water requirements of short rotation poplar coppice: Experimental and modelling analyses across Europe
(2018)Poplars are among the most widely used short rotation woody coppice (SRWC) species but due to their assumed high water use, concerns have been raised with respect to large-scale exploitation and potentially detrimental ... -
Modeling time, probability, and configuration constraints for continuous cloud service certification
(ELSEVIER ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY, 2018)Cloud computing proposes a paradigm shift where resources and services are allocated, provisioned, and accessed at runtime and on demand. New business opportunities emerge for service providers and their customers, at a ...
