Automated tools for the computation of amplitudes and cross sections have become the backbone of phenomenological studies beyond the standard model. We present the latest developments in MadDM, a calculator of dark-matter observables based on MadGraph5_aMC@NLO. The new ...

Abstract The seasonal energy performance of a cooling system based on an innovative variable-geometry ejector (VGE) is numerically investigated by using TRNSYS. The VGE-based system is mainly driven by solar energy, collected through solar thermal collectors, and is cou...

Abstract The thermal performance of latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) systems considerably depends on thermal conductivity of adopted phase change materials (PCMs). To increase the low thermal conductivity of these materials, pure PCMs can be loaded with metal ...

We present the results and the main findings of SemEval-2020 Task 11 on Detection of Propaganda Techniques in News Articles. The task featured two subtasks. Subtask SI is about Span Identification: given a plain-text document, spot the specific text fragments containing...

The use of contextualised word embeddings allowed for a relevant performance increase for almost all Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications. Recently some new models especially developed for Italian became available to scholars. This work aims at evaluating the ...

On September 2020 a constitutional referendum was held in Italy. In this work we collect a dataset of 1.2M tweets related to this event, with particular interest to the textual content shared, and we design a hashtag-based semi-automatic approach to label them as Suppor...

Abstract We propose an efficient estimation technique for the automatic selection of locally-adaptive Total Variation regularisation parameters based on an hybrid strategy which combines a local maximum-likelihood approach estimating space-variant image scales with a gl...

We describe our participation in the EVALITA 2020 (Basile et al., 2020) shared task on Automatic Misogyny Identification. We focus on task A —Misogyny and Aggressive Behaviour Identification— which aims at detecting whether a tweet in Italian is misogynous and, if so, w...

Abstract After the Fukushima accident, the interest of the public to nuclear safety has growth and the international technical nuclear community has increased his attention in the investigation and the characterization of Severe Accident (SA) scenarios. In order to simu...

Il sito del parco Novi Sad, scavato sotto la direzione della Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici dell'Emilia Romagna (2009-2011) subito a N-W del centro storico di Modena, corrispondente alla zona periurbana della città romana di Mutina, ha permesso di documentare la...
