e-Learning : Nuovi strumenti per insegnare, apprendere, comunicare online = New tools to teach, learn, communicate online
Offers an overview of the evolution of online training, focusing both on the possible transformations made by new technologies on teaching, and on the more purely technical aspect, through the analysis of online training systems. The aim is to bring teachers, students and anyone who intends to learn more about a topic that, in many ways, still remains unknown to most of those who work in the world of education, to e-learning. The aim is to provide the opportunity to get in touch with the countless opportunities that new technologies offer to transform, improve and make teaching and learning more accessible, with a look at the future prospects of a sector that presents itself in constant evolution.
Elasticity of Transversely Isotropic Materials
This book aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to the theory and applications of the mechanics of transversely isotropic elastic materials. There are many reasons why it should be written. First, the theory of transversely isotropic elastic materials is an important branch of applied mathematics and engineering science; but because of the difficulties caused by anisotropy, the mathematical treatments and descriptions of individual problems have been scattered throughout the technical literature. This often hinders further development and applications. Hence, a text that can present the theory and solution methodology uniformly is necessary.

Elaborazione dei dati sperimentali
L'analisi statistica dei dati sperimentali, la loro elaborazione ed una corretta stima degli errori sono conoscenze necessarie agli studenti di fisica, biologia, chimica, ingegneria e dei corsi di specializzazione tecnico-scientifici in cui è richiesta pratica di laboratorio. Chi si occupa di problemi tecnici e di misure, per studio o per lavoro, deve possedere gli strumenti matematici di calcolo e di analisi necessari ad una corretta interpretazione dei dati sperimentali. Il testo fornisce in modo sintetico, chiaro ed esaustivo, tutte le nozioni e le conoscenze utili allo scopo. Gli argomenti sono esposti in modo rigoroso ma fluido e vengono introdotti con gradualità. Sono riportati i teoremi e le formule essenziali per una completa comprensione evitando, tuttavia, eccessivi appesantimenti matematici. Il libro è stato pensato per consentire ai docenti di scegliere autonomamente gli esperimenti per l'applicazione delle nozioni studiate.

Eisenstein Series and Applications
Eisenstein series are an essential ingredient in the spectral theory of automorphic forms and an important tool in the theory of L-functions. They have also been exploited extensively by number theorists for many arithmetic purposes. Bringing together contributions from areas that are not usually interacting with each other, this volume introduces diverse users of Eisenstein series to a variety of important applications. With this juxtaposition of perspectives, the reader obtains deeper insights into the arithmetic of Eisenstein series. The exposition focuses on the common structural properties of Eisenstein series occurring in many related applications that have arisen in several recent developments in arithmetic: Arakelov intersection theory on Shimura varieties, special values of L-functions and Iwasawa theory, and equidistribution of rational/integer points on homogeneous varieties.
eIoT : The Development of the Energy Internet of Things in Energy Infrastructure
This book explores the collision between the sustainable energy transition and the Internet of Things (IoT). In that regard, this book’s arrival is timely. Not only is the Internet of Things for energy applications, herein called the energy Internet of Things (eIoT), rapidly developing but also the transition towards sustainable energy to abate global climate is very much at the forefront of public discourse. It is within the context of these two dynamic thrusts, digitization and global climate change, that the energy industry sees itself undergoing significant change in how it is operated and managed. The goal of this book is to provide a single integrated picture of how eIoT can come to transform our energy infrastructure. This book links the energy management change drivers mentioned above to the need for a technical energy management solution. It, then, describes how eIoT meets many of the criteria required for such a technical solution.

E-Government : Towards electronic democracy ; International Conference, TCGOV 2005, Bolzano, Italy, March 2-4, 2005, Proceedings
The TCGOV 2005 international conference on e-government was held at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano during March 2–4, 2005. The conference was initiated by the working group “Towards Electronic Democracy” (TED) of the European Science Foundation and was jointly organized by the Free University ofBozen-Bolzano,theMunicipalityofBozen-Bolzano,theTEDWorkingGroup, and the IFIP Working Group 8.5. The conference addressed a large spectrum of issues that are relevant and have to be investigated for a successful transition from the traditional form of government to a new form known as e-government. The main focus was on the following topics: – improving citizen participation and policy making (e-democracy) – government application integration – semantic Web technologies for e-government – security aspects for e-government services Two sessions were dedicated to e-democracy, an emerging area within- government that seeks to enhance democratic processes and provide increased opportunities for individuals and communities to be involved in governmental decisions.
Egocentric video summarization
Video summarization is defined as the generation of a summary of extensive video content that comes from all kinds of videos including egocentric videos by detecting and presenting the material to potential users which is most informative and contains interesting information. Video summarization has many practical applications and Egocentric video summarization approaches have been proposed to solve various problems in the healthcare industry. This work focuses on Alzheimer. Patients suffering from Alzheimer’s face difficulties in remembering what happened during their day, the identity of persons and medicine they took.
Egg yolk oil hydrogel as treatment for burns
Burns are a global public health problem, and the rate of child deaths from burns is currently over 7 times higher in low- and middle-income countries than in high-income countries. Hydrogels consist of water-containing, water-soluble polymers which are linked to form a three-dimensional network. They are breathable and can be used for different types of burns (closed, open, weeping, or dry). By contrast, occlusive ointments, which often have a fatty base, are considered rather unfavorable for burn and are primarily suitable for use on irritated, unburn skin...
