Technological Imagination in the Green and Digital Transition
This open access book addresses the pressing need for sustainability in urban development and the use of technology, with cities to serve as the main stage for strategies that seek to meet the targets and the cross-sector priorities indicated in the EU’s Next Generation program, all in pursuit of a solid recovery on the part of the European economy, along lines of ecological transition, digitalization, competitiveness, training, and inclusion to overcome social, territorial, and gender differences. The international study encounter is meant to promote visions shared by architectural technology and other disciplines, which, though they may appear to differ, are closely interconnected, with the aim of achieving an open, interdisciplinary integration capable of proposing concrete projects regarding topics held to be of strategic importance to the future of the built environment. These are identified to draw up evolving scenarios of architecture and cities suited to reflection, at various levels, on innovative models of process and product.
Simulations of RF Beam Manipulations Including Intensity Effects for CERN PSB and SPS Upgrades
The LIU program at CERN is of paramount importance at international level. The program foresees a significant upgrade of the LHC injector chain to increase the luminosity of the LHC beam by a factor of ten after 2024, when the HL-LHC era will start. This thesis deals with longitudinal beam dynamics studies for two LHC injectors (PSB and SPS), the main goal being the analysis of beam instabilities in the HL-LHC scenario.
Theory and History of Conservation
The book aims to provide the ability to approach restoration of historic architecture in a methodical way starting from basic concepts in terminology. In the different chapters will be addressed the theoretical aspects of restoration: stylistic restoration, Anti-Restoration, Historic Restoration, Scientific/Philological Restoration (in the first volume), the Critical Restoration, the Critical-Conservative Restoration, the Pure Conservation, maintenance/repair and currents trends (in the second volume). The history of conservation will be studied in different historical periods, countries, in different conceptions and through its main protagonists. The Charters of Restoration will be described and studied. The next volume will present the current trends in restoration. With contributions by Susana Mora Alonso-Muñoyerro and Ignacio Mora Moreno
Reconsidering Archaeology and Architecture. Book of abstracts
Abstract collection of the International Summer School "ENRICO GUIDONI", City and Territory: Archaeology and Architecture, Castel Madama (RM), Castello Orsini; Rome, Parco Regionale dell'Appia Antica, Italy, September 2-11, 2016, organized by the Proloco Castel Madama and the International Centre for Heritage Studies of Girne American University.
Metalinguistic Awareness: Recomposing Cognitive, Linguistic and Cultural Conflicts
This volume is dedicated to Maria Antonietta Pinto’s research across the past five decades. The title reflects not only the dominance of metalinguistic awareness in Pinto’s work but also the pathway through which this construct has been elaborated over the years. Under the influence of two great mentors, Jean Piaget for the cognitive aspects, and Renzo Titone for the psycholinguistic aspects, Pinto created an original construct of metalinguistic awareness and instruments to measure it at different developmental stages. The volume pays tribute, among other aspects, to the heuristic value of this construct and its use in international research.
Adaptation as a Transmedial Process
This miscellaneous volume aims at offering a fresh and updated view of adaptation and transmedial practices. In the wake of Linda Hutcheon’s groundbreaking study, A Theory of Adaptation (2006), it discusses theories and exemplary case studies from different critical perspectives and points of view assessing past and present trends, and envisioning future prospects. The volume is divided in three macro-sections: Theories explores some methodological and theoretical facets of adaptation; Practices I includes analyses of literary, cinematographic and theatrical texts; Practices II discusses transmedial examples relating to arts. The book ends with the interview with the Czech-German artist Michael Bielický, a pioneer in the use of multiple media (especially digital ones).

Mixing Accounting Regulation and Corporate Accountability in the Era of Non-Financial Information, Intangibles and Digitalization
This book aims to explore some perspectives on corporate non-financial information, intangibles, and digitalization offering primary studies, research perspectives, and upcoming studies presented by scholars who also participated in the 2023 To.Su. Workshop mainly based on the results of the research project “Mixing Accounting Regulation and Corporate Accountability in the Era of Non-Financial Information, Intangibles, and Digitalization: Tornado or Sunshine?”. The edited book addresses issues related to non-financial and sustainability information, as well as intangibles and digitalization from a business administration perspective.
Towards Recognizing New Semantic Concepts in New Visual Domains
Despite being the leading paradigm in computer vision, deep neural networks are inherently limited by the visual and semantic information contained in their training set. In this thesis, we aim to design deep models operating with previously unseen visual domains and semantic concepts. We first describe different solutions for generalizing to new visual domains, applying variants of normalization layers to multiple challenging settings e.g. where new domain data is not available but arrives online or is described by metadata. In the second part, we incorporate new semantic concepts into pretrained deep models. We propose specific solutions for different problems such as multi-task/incremental learning and open-world recognition. Finally, we merge the two challenges: given images of multiple domains and categories, can we recognize unseen concepts in unseen domains? We propose an approach that is the first, promising step, towards solving this problem. Winner of the Competition “Prize for PhD Thesis 2020” arranged by Sapienza University Press.
Kant and Culture
Kant and Culture. Studies on Kant’s Philosophy of Culture is a collective volume focusing on the figure of Kant as Kulturphilosoph. The challenge of this volume, which gathers scholars who differ in language, method, approach and perspective, is to shed light from different angles on the relevance and complexity of a subject – Kant and culture – that has often been confined to the margins of the Kantforschung and has only recently received the attention it deserves. Yet, on closer inspection, the issues related to the notion of culture in Kant are so varied and at the same time so pervasive and transversal that they allow for important connections between his philosophical reflection...
