Influence of Prey Size on the Capture of Social Wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) by the Orb-Web Spider Nephilengys cruentata

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the plasticity of the hunting behavior of the spider Nephilengys cruentata (Araneae: Nephilidae) facing different species of social wasps. Considering that wasps can consume various species of spiders and that their poison can be used as defense against many predators, the effect of the corporal size of the prey was evaluated in the behavior of N. cruentata. Predation experiments were conducted using three species of social wasps of different sizes and the data registered in this research were compiled through annotations and filming of the hunting behavior of each spider, in relation to the offered prey. The results revealed that the size of the wasp and the sequential offer of prey change the hunting behavior of the spider, and prey of large size have high influence on this behavior.

Social Media Marketing: acquisire clienti con gli strumenti del web 2.0

Obiettivo dii questo elaborato è cercare di dimostrare come il Web e i Social Media non sono solo dei nuovi canali di comunicazione ma costituiscono una testimonianza del radicale cambiamento che modifica la comunicazione aziendale per come è stata concepita fino ad oggi. Nascita e sviluppo del Web e passaggio dal marketing tradizionale al web marketing saranno temi centrali nella parte introduttiva. Frutto di un’analisi approfondita sarà il tema del Social media marketing, ponendo particolare attenzione ai social media più utilizzati, all’impatto che le aziende hanno con questi, i canali di comunicazione utilizzati dalle aziende e quali sono i leader del settore, quindi, le aziende, che hanno attuato ottime campagne nei social networks. In un ultima parte verranno esaminati gli strumenti attraverso i quali è possibile monitorare i comportamenti degli utenti, come ascoltarli nei social media per entrare in relazione con loro e misurare i risultati delle attività di comunicazione (Web analytics, Social media monitoring); verranno inoltre analizzati gli aspetti per una buona strategia di comunicazione aziendale nel web quindi dando uno sguardo ad un buon piano di comunicazione e alla web & brand reputation.

Metadati e integrazioni social nel web odierno

Il presente progetto di tesi è stato sviluppato per presentare un esempio concreto di come sia possibile sfruttare le potenzialità ottenibili inserendo, all'interno di un sito web, il markup Open Graph Protocol per la definizione, tramite l’utilizzo di metadati, di concetti semanticamente ricchi e interpretabili dai principali Social Network ed integrando le Graph API Facebook per interrogare questi dati e sfruttarli per il funzionamento stesso del sito.

Demo Abstract: Disseminating WMSN Data by Using Social Network and Web

For smart cities applications, a key requirement is to disseminate data collected from both scalar and multimedia wireless sensor networks to thousands of end-users. Furthermore, the information must be delivered to non-specialist users in a simple, intuitive and transparent manner. In this context, we present Sensor4Cities, a user-friendly tool that enables data dissemination to large audiences, by using using social networks, or/and web pages. The user can request and receive monitored information by using social networks, e.g., Twitter and Facebook, due to their popularity, user-friendly interfaces and easy dissemination. Additionally, the user can collect or share information from smart cities services, by using web pages, which also include a mobile version for smartphones. Finally, the tool could be configured to periodically monitor the environmental conditions, specific behaviors or abnormal events, and notify users in an asynchronous manner. Sensor4Cities improves the data delivery for individuals or groups of users of smart cities applications and encourages the development of new user-friendly services.

A fuzzy grassroots ontology for improving social semantic web search

The web is continuously evolving into a collection of many data, which results in the interest to collect and merge these data in a meaningful way. Based on that web data, this paper describes the building of an ontology resting on fuzzy clustering techniques. Through continual harvesting folksonomies by web agents, an entire automatic fuzzy grassroots ontology is built. This self-updating ontology can then be used for several practical applications in fields such as web structuring, web searching and web knowledge visualization.A potential application for online reputation analysis, added value and possible future studies are discussed in the conclusion.

Applying Fuzzy Ontologies to Implement the Social Semantic Web

Because the knowledge in the World Wide Web is continuously expanding, Web Knowledge Aggregation, Representation and Reasoning (abbreviated as KR) is becoming increasingly important. This article demonstrates how fuzzy ontologies can be used in KR to improve the interactions between humans and computers. The gap between the Social and Semantic Web can be reduced, and a Social Semantic Web may become possible. As an illustrative example, we demonstrate how fuzzy logic and KR can enhance technologies for cognitive cities. The underlying notion of these technologies is based on connectivism, which can be improved by incorporating the results of digital humanities research.
