Positron Emission Tomography (PET)-based molecular imaging represents one of the most powerful tools to measure tumor biology variations and tumor microenvironment heterogeneity, which are major factors impacting cancer treatment failure. In this respect, Spatiotemporal Distribution Models based on Partial Differential Equations can provide an informative picture of in vivo cancer biology, ultimat...Show More
In this article, we describe an optimal control strategy for shaping a large-scale swarm of particles using boundary global actuation. This problem arises as a key challenge in many swarm robotics applications, especially when the robots are passive particles that need to be guided by external control fields. The system is large-scale and underactuated, making the control strategy at the microscop...Show More
The X-WALD project was launched to run ad hoc airborne measurements finalized to investigate the potentials of polarimetry in weather radars for civil aircrafts. In this contribution, the outcome of the project will be presented, and in particular the results of two measurements campaigns, carried out in The Netherlands and in Italy, using a low-power X-band fully polarimetric radar mounted in the...Show More
For the last decades satellite communication systems have been moving towards higher and higher frequencies; rain attenuation along the Earth-satellite path can be an important limiting factor for the system availability, especially in tropical regions where rain events can be particularly intense. One of the possible countermeasures is site diversity. In this paper we evaluate the performance of ...Show More
In this paper we report the use of a microwave link network to perform the reconstruction of space-time rainfall field distribution over a limited area at ground level. This is possible through the use of a real time tomographic technique which makes use of the relations between the rainfall intensities and the attenuation measured on the links. Here we show how a commercial network operating at K...Show More
In this letter, we show how an operational microwave link network can be used to reconstruct 2-D fields of accumulated rainfall over a limited area at ground level. To this purpose, we use a tomographic technique that exploits the relation between rainfall rate and the attenuation experienced by the microwave links of the network. The links located in Italy operate at K-band and are managed by an ...Show More
This paper investigates the possibility of estimating the path averaged rainfall by means of single frequency microwave links. Microwave link attenuation measurements can supplement data gathered in the air (e.g. radars) or on the ground (e.g. raingauges), providing useful information about the rainfall on a virtually continuous time scale. We present here the results of a theoretical analysis con...Show More
Summary form only given. Data exchange in many underwater applications such as oceanographic data collection, scientific ocean sampling, pollution and environmental monitoring, disaster prevention, underwater system maintenance, recreational scuba diving, is an exciting task. Due to the reduced visibility (for optical) or high attenuations (for radio) link, in most of the cases the communication b...Show More
