English. This paper studies the relationship between the valence, one of the psycholinguistic variables in the Italian version of ANEW (Montefinese et al., 2014), and emotive scores calculated by exploiting distributional methods (Passaro et al., 2015). We show two methods to infer valence from fine grained emotions and discuss their evaluation. Italiano. Questo lavoro studia la relazione tra l...

I processi cooperativi prevedono l’esecuzione di attività da parte di entità differenti allo scopo di perseguire un obiettivo comune. Considerando il contesto dei distretti produttivi, attraverso il progetto VISPO si propone una serie di modelli abilitanti all’esecuzione dinamica di tali processi in cui le attività sono svolte da servizi.

This was an in vitro and in vivo study to develop a novel artificial cervical vertebra and intervertebral complex (ACVC) joint in a goat model to provide a new method for treating degenerative disc disease in the cervical spine. The objectives of this study were to test the safety, validity, and effectiveness of ACVC by goat model and to provide preclinical data for a clinical trial in humans i...
