In recent years, many studies have revealed the increasing rate of hospital obsolescence. This fact is a reflection of the fast pace at which contemporary society and medicine evolve. Therefore, each part of the hospital should be designed to adapt to fast changes without having a big impact on the daily routine of patients and […]

Thermal, acoustic and lighting comforts are fundamental aspects in the design of sustainable or resource efficient buildings. The need for low-impact structures is compelling in a world dominated by power demand and threatened by energy shortage. In order to respond to this need, our work has focused on a performative, environment-responsive structure that exploits rigid

The Additive Manufacturing technology is one of the agents responsible for the 4th industrial revolution for at least three reasons. First, it offers the possibility to produce complex parts without the design constraints of traditional manufacturing routes. Second, scrap rates for AM parts are usually below 5%, compared to scrap rates of more than 90%
Main purpose of the project has been the synthesis of a new nanogel based on a PEG-PEI copolymer decorated with a modified guanidino-glycoside compound. This nanogel should then offer the possibility to embody an antitumoral drug which did not need to undergo any previous chemical modification. The great strength of this nanogel is its ability
The Active Pedal is an innovative accelerator pedal developed by Robert Bosch GmbH which applies haptic stimuli (vibration, counterforce or knocking) under certain situations; the commercial target of the pedal is the automotive market, aiming to reduce the fuel consumption and to improve the safety during driving. The objective of this Alta Scuola Politecnica multidisciplinary

Technology allows people employed in certain jobs to work everywhere, as long as they have a laptop, a phone and internet connection. However, this does not mean that offices are no longer needed, especially in environments where creativity and problem-solving are daily activities. Human interaction is often the key to address such issues and come
This project focus on the evaluation of the memristive technology applied to a specific pattern recognition problem. In particular, we selected as pattern recognition problem the arrhythmia detection and we compared the memristive technology performance with the currently used one based on classical technology. The memristor is a newly discovered electronic component that can be

Water resources are the core of any sustainable development, but they have been highly affected by unsustainable development and lack of appropriate government policies, and that brought the constantly increasing demand for fresh water. If the balance between demand and availability of a limited resource will not be restored, the world will have to cope

3D food printing integrates the technology and techniques of 3D printing and additive manufacturing, together with gastronomy. Alongside Dutch research institution TNO (The Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research), the Italian pasta goliath, Barilla S.p.A., has developed a prototype 3D printer dedicated to the food market. Although the possibilities for this type of novel device

Seeing the need to have more communication skill training done in the academic sector, gave birth to this project being recommended by IBM and further harnessed by the Alta Scuola Politecnica advisors. To explore the transition for this work, a multi-criteria analysis is performed. The first step is the Stakeholder analysis, necessary to deeply investigate
