As classical definitions of correlation give rise to counterintuitive statements when extreme probability events are involved, we introduce enhanced notions of positive and negative correlation in the general framework of coherent conditional probability. These notions allow to handle extreme probability events in a principled way by accommodating the different levels of strength of the zero probabilities involved (namely, zero layers).

The aim of this article is to show the factorial and confirmatory structure of a questionnaire on well-being/ill-being in a lower secondary school in Italy and some of the results. This questionnaire was built in 2013 as a collaboration between the “Sapienza” University of Rome and the University of Moscow and St. Petersburg. This questionnaire was correlated in 2015 with a questionnaire on perception of educational context. The aim of the analysis was to understand how the educational context can change the state of students’ well-being and ill- being.

This paper describes the multivariate statistical model of the structure-related modelling uncertainty, developed with reference to reinforced concrete, masonry, steel, and seismically isolated buildings, within the framework of the RINTC project. The model describes the variability of material properties as well as the uncertainty associated with the adopted response models. Specific aspects of each structural typology are also discussed, with a focus on the statistical dependence of the random variables in the model.

he principal aim of the present research has been to check if any correlation exists between the total antioxidant capacity (TAOC) value and the total polyphenols content (TPC) of several food, or beverages and feed samples based vegetables. The research was also extended to several food supplements currently sold as pharmaceutical integrators. © Springer International Publishing AG 2018.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between the microbial air contamination values obtained by active sampling (colony-forming units per cubic metre, CFU/m3) and by passive sampling (Index of microbial air contamination, IMA) and to calculate the corresponding equations. Air sampling was performed in ten dental clinics (DC), before (T0), during (T1) and after (T2) the clinical activity, for five consecutive days, once a month for a period of three months, for a total of 450 air samplings.

In his late text "Vertauschte Fronten" Franz Rosenzweig analyzes the Davos Disputation and underlines an apparently surprising continuity between the Heideggerian interpretation of Kant and the thinking of Hermann Cohen. Rosenzweig dwells in particular on the Cohenian concept of « correlation » and on Heidegger’s Dasein. Many scholars have already stressed many elements of proximity between Heidegger and the « New Thinking » : finitude, temporality, language. But still unexamined has remained the question of the body.

We consider the problem of controlling the rate of failures triggered by fatigue processes of Base Stations (BSs) in cellular networks subject to Sleep Modes (SMs). Specifically, the increase of time spent in SM tends to decrease the BS failure rate by following, e.g., the Arrhenius law. However, the transitions between the power states tend to increase the BS failure rate, which can be predicted by the Coffin- Manson model. In this context, the energy savings triggered by SMs would not be economically useful if the BS failure rate were increased too much.
