The Mediterranean Sea is a semi-enclosed sea, connected to the Atlantic Ocean through the Gibraltar Strait and subdivided in two different regions by the Sicily Strait. The geographical extension of the basin, the surface heat flux, and the water inflow from the Gibraltar Strait are some of the basic factors determining its horizontal and vertical circulation. In the Mediterranean strong salinity and temperature zonal gradients contribute to maintain the zonal-vertical circulation, while meridional-vertical cells are equally forced by winds and deep water mass formation in three regions, the Gulf of Lyon, the southern Adriatic and the Cretan Sea areas. The objective of this thesis is to study how these cells combine together to form the Mediterranean conveyor belt system. This has never been attempted before so the conclusions are necessarily preliminary. In the first part we discuss the vertical zonal and meridional circulation by reconstructing the Wust Mediterranean vertical salinity and temperature structures in an attempt to evaluate the water mass structure consistent with modern data. Our results confirm that Wust depicted vertical circulation from scarce data is reproduced by the past 27 years observations. The structure of both meridional and zonal circulations was discussed using velocity vertical streamfunctions with two different methods. The first one, eulerian, allowed us to observe vertical structures that were already reported in the literature. Recent studies in the Atlantic Ocean have shown that gyres and eddies have an important influence in the isopycnal vertical circulation. This is called the residual circulation which was computed in this study for the first time. A possible interpretation of horizontal connection between the meridional and zonal cells was discussed using horizontal streamfunction. In the last part of the thesis we have been developing an idealized numerical model to study the vertical circulation in the Mediterranean.

La tesi nasce dalla volontà di agire sull’area della Darsena di Ravenna, strategica in quanto via d’acqua navigabile che congiunge il mare con il centro città ma dal potenziale ancora poco sfruttato. Il progetto è studiato per essere inserito come catalizzatore urbano, creando spazi di interazione attraverso elementi modulari galleggianti e riconfigurabili per adattarsi a programmi d’uso flessibili; tali elementi si aggregano formando un sistema che ristruttura lo spazio dell’attuale banchina, cambiandone la percezione da barriera a waterfront urbano. La necessità di ottenere una struttura con capacità di crescita e flessibilità programmatica sfocia in un approccio modulare seguendo il principio massima variazione/minimo numero di elementi i cui principi aggregativi si basano sulla tassellazione “Cairo”. Vengono studiate le possibilità di incorporare variazione ed eterogeneità all’interno del sistema senza comprometterne la modularità fino ad integrare percorsi multilivello. La definizione delle morfologie delle parti che compongono i moduli si basano sullo studio dei principi di galleggiamento, stabilità e yacht design: a partire dalla forma dello scafo adatta ai principi di tiling definiti in precedenza, tutte le parti che compongono le varie tipologie di modulo sono progettate cercando continuità e integrazione tettonica (geometrica, strutturale, funzionale e percettiva). Vengono proposte soluzioni integrate sia per le problematiche tipiche delle strutture galleggianti sia per l’inserimento di attività all’interno della soluzione architettonica. Vengono prototipati di una serie di moduli, scelti in modo da dimostrare i principi di ricombinazione, continuità, modularità e tiling.

Lo scopo di questa tesi è introdurre in breve le prime proprietà delle curve modulari e delle forme modulari, per poi mostrarne alcune applicazioni archetipiche. Per farlo, dopo aver richiamato alcune nozioni utili nel primo capitolo, sviluppiamo, nel secondo capitolo, la teoria di base delle curve modulari compatte come superfici di Riemann, calcolandone il genere nel caso dei sottogruppi principali di congruenza. Dunque, nel terzo capitolo, dopo un estesa trattazione dell'esempio delle forme modulari rispetto al gruppo modulare, viene calcolata la dimensione degli spazi delle forme intere e delle forme cuspidali rispetto a un sottogruppo di indice finito del gruppo modulare. Questo capitolo si conclude con tre esempi di applicazione della teoria esposta, tra i quali spiccano la dimostrazione del Grande Teorema di Picard e del Teorema dei quattro quadrati di Jacobi.

Electric vehicles and electronic components inside the vehicle are becoming increasingly important. The software as well starts to have a significant impact on modern high-end cars therefore a careful validation process needs to be implemented with the aim of having a bug free product when it is released. The software complexity increases and thus also the testing phases is more demanding. Test can be troublesome and, in some cases, boring and easy. The intelligence can be moved in test definition and writing rather than on test execution. The aim of this document is to start the definition of an automatic modular testing system capable to execute test cycles on systems that interacts with the CAN networks and with DUT that can be touched with a robotic arm. The document defines a first version of the system, in particular the hardware interface part with the aim of taking logs and execute test in an automated fashion with the test engineer can have a higher focus on the test definition and analysis rather than execution.

Robotic Grasping is an important research topic in robotics since for robots to attain more general-purpose utility, grasping is a necessary skill, but very challenging to master. In general the robots may use their perception abilities like an image from a camera to identify grasps for a given object usually unknown. A grasp describes how a robotic end-effector need to be positioned to securely grab an object and successfully lift it without lost it, at the moment state of the arts solutions are still far behind humans. In the last 5–10 years, deep learning methods take the scene to overcome classical problem like the arduous and time-consuming approach to form a task-specific algorithm analytically. In this thesis are present the progress and the approaches in the robotic grasping field and the potential of the deep learning methods in robotic grasping. Based on that, an implementation of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) as a starting point for generation of a grasp pose from camera view has been implemented inside a ROS environment. The developed technologies have been integrated into a pick-and-place application for a Panda robot from Franka Emika. The application includes various features related to object detection and selection. Additionally, the features have been kept as generic as possible to allow for easy replacement or removal if needed, without losing time for improvement or new testing.
