Alle radici del senso di Sé Proposte per uno studio sull’emergere della consapevolezza corporea nella prima infanzia by Alfonso Davide Di Sarno, Vania Costa, Rita Di Gennaro, Giuseppina Di Leva, Irene Fabbricino, Daniela Iennaco, Teresa Longobardi, Martina Messina, Enrico Moretto, Lucia Luciana Mosca

“…To define the Self is extremely complex, because the same nature of the object that we propose ourselves to study, if it is relatively difficult to say what is not, the task to explain it becomes extremely arduous if we try to define what it is. The more developed and known field of the neuroscience is in fact the one that studies the phenomenon of the conscience and the sense of himself on the pathological depositor, when as a result of cerebral lesions, degenerative diseases and/or incidents events some part of the brain, as a result of the damage, become inactive, creating a structural change of the cerebral functions, the emotional management and the identity. …”

Jeu et fiction dans un jeu de cartes à collectionner : le cas de Magic : l’Assemblée by Pierre Cuvelier

“…The different elements of a single card, and those of the cards between them, function as fragments that, in combination, allude to a fictional reality which, although conceived by the publisher on a model of highly coherent license universes (notably recent transmedia fictions), leaves players to dream through the gaps and ambiguities inherent in this relationship between game and fiction. …”

Capacity analysis for MISO-UWOC systems over GGD weak turbulence with zero boresight pointing error by Yueheng LI, Yining XU, Meiyan JU, Ping HUANG

“…Generalized Gamma distribution (GGD) was chosen to describe the weak oceanic turbulence, and a new hybrid fading channel model that integrated the GGD weak turbulence, the zero boresight pointing error, and the implicit path loss plus multipath propagation characterized by the fading free impulse response (FFIR) was proposed.Subsequently, mathematical expressions for the ergodic capacity and outage capacity of the multiple-input single-output underwater wireless optical communication (MISO-UWOC) systems were derived through the Meijer-G function under a selective transmission (ST) diversity scheme especially while inter-symbol interference (ISI) effects were considered or not.Finally, the correctness of the theoretical formulas derived above was verified by some numerical results.The simulation results show that with the introduction of the ST diversity, the ergodic capacity of the MISO-UWOC systems, taking the transmission ports N=2 as an example, is at least 1.3 times better than that of the conventional point-to-point (P2P) transmission under the same channel condition and system parameters, while the maximum outage capacity decreases is also more than 60% compared with the conventional P2P one.However, the introduction of the ISI will severely reduce this performance improvement.…”
