For a design transition – Green composition and design for the contemporary city by Claudia Pirina, Giovanni Comi, Vincenzo d’Abramo

“… The paper addresses the issue of energy transition through the regeneration and reuse of abandoned urban spaces. While the theme of re-naturalisation of soils and preservation of natural environments is a familiar one in contemporary architectural culture, the need to rethink the systematisation of individual interventions in order to arrive at a transcalar approach to design seems to be a reflection that still requires the necessary critical investigation. …”

Giveaway. Per un’etnografia del dono nelle communities on line by Federica Scrimieri

“…The genesis of the research is connected to the growth of YouTube from a video platform to an extraordinary detonator of cultural phenomena demonstrated, since its inception in Italy in 2007, by the growing importance of social networking in the opening of new market niches almost contemporary to the new aggregative spaces represented by online communities. The latter are investigated not only through You Tube, but also through the reality of the Facebook groups "I'll give it to you if you come and get it" and similar, that seem to represent the future prospects of the gift on line.…”

A study of value iteration and policy iteration for Markov decision processes in Deterministic systems by Haifeng Zheng, Dan Wang

“…In the context of deterministic discrete-time control systems, we examined the implementation of value iteration (VI) and policy (PI) algorithms in Markov decision processes (MDPs) situated within Borel spaces. The deterministic nature of the system's transfer function plays a pivotal role, as the convergence criteria of these algorithms are deeply interconnected with the inherent characteristics of the probability function governing state transitions. …”
