Analysis, Conservation, and Restoration of Tangible and Intangible Cultural Heritage.

The book could be a set of examples and experiences in various fields of Cultural Heritage (Architecture,
archaeology, historical centers, small artefacts, but also frescoes, paintings, sculptures, etc.). In the
book will be also a tool to present the most advanced examples and applications of new technologies on
cultural heritage. The scientific content will concern: architectural representation (included modelling
and rendering), in its broadest sense of knowledge mean, of instrument for values understanding, of

From survey, to 3D modelling, to 3D printing. Bramante's nymphaeum Colonna at Genazzano

Today, new computer techniques are increasingly employed in archaeology. Such techniques, organised according to a proper
pipeline, allow a fuller knowledge of archaeological assets. In the study of the Nympheum Colonna at Genazzano, attributed to
Bramante, an integrated approach to technologies like photogrammetric survey, 3D modelling, virtual tour and 3D printing, enables
a scale reproduction of the image of the Nymphaeum at the beginning of the 16th century. First, data are acquired through

Survey and representation of the City Walls of Orbetello

Ripercorrere la storia delle mura cittadine di Orbetello attraverso il disegno e il rilievo consente di apprezzarne meglio la struttura, le dimensioni e la forma e di acquisire consapevolezza attraverso un'attenta analisi degli elementi di dettaglio e dei diversi materiali da cui sono costruite le mura cittadine. Porta anche ad un confronto diretto con il loro stato di conservazione al fine di pensare alla loro gestione e, soprattutto, alla loro valorizzazione.

Diary of an Artistic Monument with Its Aura in a State of Decay

Old fountains, once they have lost their original function of providing drinking water, today often represent a problem for the public administrations that often own them, but they also constitute an excellent opportunity for revitalising the areas in which they are situated. This occurs because in the past this type of structure played an important role in the definition of the urban plan, a role that now seems to have been reinstated after a period of obscurity due to attempts to force the plan to conform to the necessities of contemporaneity.

What do students expect from learning? A research on skills as a bridge between school and university.

Which competencies do students expect to achieve by attending University? How deep is the gap between School and University concerning skills and competencies provided and requested? Are school programs and usual methodologies able to prepare them properly to enter Higher Education studies? Which role can play Informal learning in Formal education to reduce this gap? Answering these questions firstly means focusing on both the main competencies students should have acquired and the learning paths they have to follow for improving and developing them.

Prevalence survey of healthcare-associated infections in a large teaching hospital

Healthcare-associated infection (HAI) is the most frequent adverse event in healthcare settings. It is associated with increased mortality and antimicrobial resistance, leading to prolonged hospital stays and consistent financial loss for healthcare systems. The objective of this study was to estimate the burden of HAIs and antimicrobial use in the Teaching Hospital Policlinico Umberto I (THPUI) of Rome and to identify the most critical areas for intervention.

The Knowledge Acquisition Bottleneck Problem in Multilingual Word Sense Disambiguation

Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) is the task of identifying the meaning of a word in a given context. It lies at the base of Natural Language Processing as it provides semantic information for words. In the last decade, great strides have been made in this field and much effort has been devoted to mitigate the knowledge acquisition bottleneck problem, i.e., the problem of semantically annotating texts at a large scale and in different languages. This issue is ubiquitous in WSD as it hinders the creation of both multilingual knowledge bases and manually-curated training sets.
