The theory of the 3D multipole probability tomography method (3D GPT) to image source poles, dipoles, quadrupoles and octopoles, of a geophysical vector or scalar field dataset is developed. A geophysical dataset is assumed to be the response of an aggregation of poles, dipoles, quadrupoles and octopoles. These physical sources are used to reconstruct without a priori assumptions the most probable position and shape of the true geophysical buried sources, by determining the location of their centres and critical points of their boundaries, as corners, wedges and vertices. This theory, then, is adapted to the geoelectrical, gravity and self potential methods. A few synthetic examples using simple geometries and three field examples are discussed in order to demonstrate the notably enhanced resolution power of the new approach. At first, the application to a field example related to a dipole–dipole geoelectrical survey carried out in the archaeological park of Pompei is presented. The survey was finalised to recognize remains of the ancient Roman urban network including roads, squares and buildings, which were buried under the thick pyroclastic cover fallen during the 79 AD Vesuvius eruption. The revealed anomaly structures are ascribed to wellpreserved remnants of some aligned walls of Roman edifices, buried and partially destroyed by the 79 AD Vesuvius pyroclastic fall. Then, a field example related to a gravity survey carried out in the volcanic area of Mount Etna (Sicily, Italy) is presented, aimed at imaging as accurately as possible the differential mass density structure within the first few km of depth inside the volcanic apparatus. An assemblage of vertical prismatic blocks appears to be the most probable gravity model of the Etna apparatus within the first 5 km of depth below sea level. Finally, an experimental SP dataset collected in the Mt. Somma-Vesuvius volcanic district (Naples, Italy) is elaborated in order to define location and shape of the sources of two SP anomalies of opposite sign detected in the northwestern sector of the surveyed area. The modelled sources are interpreted as the polarization state induced by an intense hydrothermal convective flow mechanism within the volcanic apparatus, from the free surface down to about 3 km of depth b.s.l..

Questo studio, che è stato realizzato in collaborazione con Hera, è un'analisi della gestione dei rifiuti a Bologna. La ricerca è stata effettuata su diversi livelli: un livello strategico il cui scopo è quello di identificare nuovi metodi per la raccolta dei rifiuti in funzione delle caratteristiche del territorio della città, un livello analitico che riguarda il miglioramento delle applicazioni informatiche di supporto, e livello ambientale che riguarda il calcolo delle emissioni in atmosfera di veicoli adibiti alla raccolta e al trasporto dei rifiuti. innanzitutto è stato necessario studiare Bologna e lo stato attuale dei servizi di raccolta dei rifiuti. È incrociando questi componenti che in questi ultimi tre anni sono state effettuate modifiche nel settore della gestione dei rifiuti. I capitoli seguenti sono inerenti le applicazioni informatiche a sostegno di tali attività: Siget e Optit. Siget è il programma di gestione del servizio, che attualmente viene utilizzato per tutte le attività connesse alla raccolta di rifiuti. È un programma costituito da moduli diversi, ma di sola la gestione dati. la sperimentazione con Optit ha aggiunto alla gestione dei dati la possibilità di avere tali dati in cartografia e di associare un algoritmo di routing. I dati archiviati in Siget hanno rappresentato il punto di partenza, l'input, e il raggiungimento di tutti punti raccolta l'obiettivo finale. L'ultimo capitolo è relativo allo studio dell'impatto ambientale di questi percorsi di raccolta dei rifiuti. Tale analisi, basata sulla valutazione empirica e sull'implementazione in Excel delle formule del Corinair mostra la fotografia del servizio nel 2010. Su questo aspetto Optit ha fornito il suo valore aggiunto, implementando nell'algoritmo anche le formule per il calcolo delle emissioni.

In the era of the Internet of Everything, a user with a handheld or wearable device equipped with sensing capability has become a producer as well as a consumer of information and services. The more powerful these devices get, the more likely it is that they will generate and share content locally, leading to the presence of distributed information sources and the diminishing role of centralized servers. As of current practice, we rely on infrastructure acting as an intermediary, providing access to the data. However, infrastructure-based connectivity might not always be available or the best alternative. Moreover, it is often the case where the data and the processes acting upon them are of local scopus. Answers to a query about a nearby object, an information source, a process, an experience, an ability, etc. could be answered locally without reliance on infrastructure-based platforms. The data might have temporal validity limited to or bounded to a geographical area and/or the social context where the user is immersed in. In this envisioned scenario users could interact locally without the need for a central authority, hence, the claim of an infrastructure-less, provider-less platform. The data is owned by the users and consulted locally as opposed to the current approach of making them available globally and stay on forever. From a technical viewpoint, this network resembles a Delay/Disruption Tolerant Network where consumers and producers might be spatially and temporally decoupled exchanging information with each other in an adhoc fashion. To this end, we propose some novel data gathering and dissemination strategies for use in urban-wide environments which do not rely on strict infrastructure mediation. While preserving the general aspects of our study and without loss of generality, we focus our attention toward practical applicative scenarios which help us capture the characteristics of opportunistic communication networks.
