The paper illustrates the Information System for Air Pollutants Emissions Inventories on Local Level in some Italian provinces. The system features the storage, management, printing and representation on the territory of data regarding air pollutants emissions. After a short description of the methodology for the realization of emissions inventories on local level, the paper discusses the topic...

Due to the growing traffic volume in the Internet, new technical solutions are being developed. The three SAIL technologies, i.e. Network of Information (NetInf), Open Connectivity Services (OConS) and Cloud Networking (CloNe), aim at improving the scalability and performance of the Internet, as well as to increase the quality of experience for end users. The changing technical structure also c...

The goal of this document is to provide a computationally practical guide to game-theoretic problems. We discuss the current intractibility of finding Nash Equilibria exactly, and of even specifying a game in normal form for a large number of players. But hope is not lost. Efficiently computable solution concepts are presented as alternatives to Nash Equilibria, with a corresponding notion of P...

Manufacturing performances tend to produce defects due to various reasons which can be improved by identifying and eliminating them using six sigma. In the present work, DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) has been used to reduce the number of vehicle engine rejection. In define phase problem was defined by selecting the core issues concerned. In the measure phase data was col...

ultrafiltration (uf) was used for decolorization of an industrial iranian date syrup. experimental results were obtained by using two different concentrations of the date syrup (40 and 50 °brix) and two different membrane pore sizes (15-20 and 30-50 kda molecular weight cut-off values) under different trans-membrane pressures (tmp: 40, 70, 110 and 150 psi). the membrane with a pore size of 15-2...

In this trial effects of feeding pistachio by-product silage with date waste (PBSD) on dry matter intake (DMI), live weight gain and blood parameters of lambs were studied. Ensiling of pistachio by-products (PBP) with date waste increased dry matter (DM) and metabolizable energy (ME), but decreased the percentages of crude protein (CP), total tannins and phenolic compounds (P

The potential use of date syrup, for the production of carotenoids by Rhodotorula glutinisin batch fermentation process, was investigated during 7 days. The results revealed that carbon (glucose or date syrup) and nitrogen sources [yeast extract, (NH4)2SO4 and NH4NO3] had a significant influence on biomass and carotenoid production. Maximum yield of total carotenoid production (7.94 mg/L) with ...

Spatiotemporal human representation based on 3D visual perception data is a rapidly growing research area. Based on the information sources, these representations can be broadly categorized into two groups based on RGB-D information or 3D skeleton data. Recently, skeleton-based human representations have been intensively studied and kept attracting an increasing attention, due to their robustne...

We propose a method for music classification based on the use of convolutional models on symbolic pitch–time representations (i.e. piano-rolls) which we apply to composer recognition. An excerpt of a piece to be classified is first sampled to a 2D pitch–time representation which is then subjected to various transformations, including convolution with predefined filters (Morlet or Gaussian) and ...
