Italian Intellectuals and International Politics, 1945–1992
Italian intellectuals played an important role in the shaping of international politics during the Cold War. The visions of the world that they promulgated, their influence on public opinion and their ability to shape collective speech, whether in agreement with or in opposition to those in power, have been underestimated and understudied. This volume marks one of the first serious attempts to assess how Italian intellectuals understood and influenced Italy’s place in the post–World War II world. The protagonists represent the three key post-war political cultures: Catholic, Marxist and Liberal Democratic. Together, these essays uncover the role of such intellectuals in institutional networks, their impact on the national and transnational circulation of ideas and the relationships they established with a variety of international associations and movements.
Pervasive Computing Paradigms for Mental Health
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on Pervasive Computing Paradigms for Mental Health, MindCare 2016, held in Barcelona, Spain, in November 2016, and the Second International Conference of Future Access Enablers of Ubiquitous and Intelligent Infrastructures, Fabulous 2016, Belgrade, Serbia, October 24-26, 2016, and the Third International Conference on Interoperability in IoT, IIoT 2015, Rome, Italy, October 26-27, 2015. The 24 papers were selected from 32 submissions. MindCare presents technologies in favor of maintaining and improving psychological well-being. Fabulous presents broad areas of future wireless networks, ambient and assisted living and smart infrastructures in order to interact, exchange ideas, expertise, experience and know-how. And finally IIoT presents tools and services in home automation and industrial service.
Applications in Electronics Pervading Industry, Environment and Society
This book provides a thorough overview of cutting-edge research on electronics applications relevant to industry, the environment and society at large. A wide spectrum of application domains are covered, from automotive to space and from health to security and special attention is devoted to the use of embedded devices and sensors for imaging, communication and control. The book is based on the 2013 APPLEPIES Conference, held in Rome, which brought together researchers and stakeholders to consider the most significant current trends in the field of applied electronics and to debate visions for the future. Areas covered by the conference included information communication technology, biotechnology and biomedical imaging, space, secure, clean and efficient energy, the environment, smart, green and integrated transport. As electronics technology continues to develop apace, constantly meeting previously unthinkable targets, further attention needs to be directed toward the electronics applications and the development of systems that facilitate human activities. This book, written by industrial and academic professionals, will hopefully contribute in this endeavor.
Synaptic Circuits and Functions in Bio-inspired Integrated Architectures
Based upon the most advanced human-made technology on this planet, CMOS integrated circuit technology, this dissertation examines the design of hardware components and systems to establish a technological foundation for the application of future breakthroughs in the intersection of AI and neuroscience. Humans have long imagined machines, robots, and computers that learn and display intelligence akin to animals and themselves. To advance the development of these machines, specialised research in custom-built hardware designed for specific types of computation, which mirrors the structure of powerful biological nervous systems, is especially important. This dissertation is driven by the quest ...
Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks
This edited book presents the results of the 5th Workshop on Real-world Wireless Sensor Networks (REALWSN). The purpose of this workshop was to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the area of sensor networks, with focus on real-world experiments or deployments of wireless sensor networks. Included were, nonetheless, emerging forms of sensing such as those that leverage smart phones, Internet of Things, RFIDs, and robots. Indeed, when working with real-world experiments or deployments, many new or unforeseen issues may arise: the network environment may be composed of a variety of different technologies, leading to very heterogeneous network structures; software developmen...
Rome
Rome has long held an attraction as one of the world's great cultural, religious, and intellectual centers. In this classic study, surveying the city's life from Christian Antiquity through the Middle Ages, Richard Krautheimer focuses on monuments of art and architecture as they reflect the historical events, the ideological currents, and the meaning Rome held for its contemporaries. Lavishly illustrated, this book tells an intriguing story in which the heritage of antiquity intertwines with the living presence of Christianity. Written by one of the great art historians of our time, it offers a profile of the Eternal City unlike any drawn in the past or likely to be drawn in the future.
Generalizing from Limited Resources in the Open World
This book presents the proceedings from the Third International Workshop on Generalizing from Limited Resources in the Open World (GLOW) 2025 held in conjunction with the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, IJCAI 2025, in Montreal, Canada, during August 16-22, 2025. The 12 full papers in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 27 submissions. These papers focus on the academic exploration of efficient methodologies within the realm of artificial intelligence models. We concentrated on both data-efficient strategies, such as zero/few-shot learning and domain adaptation, as well as model-efficient approaches like model sparsification and compact model design.
Future Access Enablers for Ubiquitous and Intelligent Infrastructures
This book constitutes the proceedings of the First International Conference on Future Access Enablers for Ubiquitous and Intelligent Infrastructures, FABULOUS 2015, held in Ohrid, Republic of Macedonia, in September 2015. The 39 revised papers cover the broad areas of future wireless networks, ambient and assisted living, smart infrastructures and security and reflect the fast developing and vibrant penetration of IoT technologies in diverse areas of human live.
