In the history of education, college represented an alternative to family life. At college, children and adolescents were separated from the care of their parents and integrated into a religious or secular community for their civic or professional educatio ...
This text, accompanied by a ‘gospel’ that I made by montaging the US-recorded captions, is an attempt for re-narrating Marshall Plan’s discourse on the working class, aka the so-called ‘free labor’ of the US against the ‘communist labor’ of the “Soviet thr ...
The essay attempt to trace the history of architecture as built ideology. The article follows the steps of Manfredo Tafuri’s famous essay ‘Per un critica dell’ideologia architettonica’, published’ in 1969, in the journal Contropiano, the article understand ...
Functional data are typically modeled as sample paths of smooth stochastic processes in order to mitigate the fact that they are often observed discretely and noisily, occasionally irregularly and sparsely. The smoothness assumption is imposed to allow for ...
In recent years, we have been witnessing a paradigm shift in computational materials science. In fact, traditional methods, mostly developed in the second half of the XXth century, are being complemented, extended, and sometimes even completely replaced by ...
This chapter looks at the intertwined evolution of two different ideas throughout the past century: that of ‘territory’, that has been reshaped and redefined in the field of architecture and urbanism, and that of ‘digital’, that while becoming dominant, ha ...
The accurate investigation of many geophysical phenomena via direct numerical simulations is computationally not possible nowadays due to the huge range of spatial and temporal scales to be resolved. Therefore advances in this field rely on the development ...
The goal of this article is to compute the Gerstenhaber bracket of the Hochschild cohomology of the Fomin–Kirillov algebra on three generators over a field of characteristic different from 2 and 3. This is in part based on a general method we introduce to ...
The field of synthetic data is more and more present in our everyday life. The transportation domain is particularly interested in improving the methods for the generation of synthetic data in order to address the privacy and availability issue of real dat ...
Electrostriction is a property of dielectric materials whereby an applied electric field induces a mechanical deformation proportional to the square of that field. The magnitude of the effect is usually minuscule (
