This research investigates the development of integrated knowledge systems for built heritage located in Italian Inner Areas, marginal territories characterised by socio-economic fragility and the progressive weakening of traditional settlement systems. Within these contexts, bui...

A Smart, Sensor-Augmented Probe Card for Wafer-Level Photonic Testing of Co-Packaged Optics Devices

The transition from electrical to optical interconnects, enabled by the adoption of co-packaged optics (CPO) in advanced processors, is accelerating the scale-up to high volumes and redefining wafer-level test requirements. As optical interfaces migrate closer to the compute die,...

Not just alignment: body shape influences adult spinal deformity biomechanics

Abstract Purpose Adult spinal deformity (ASD) alters sagittal alignment and trunk centre of mass location, increasing spinal loading. Current clinical assessment of ASD primarily focuses on alignment parameters disregarding patient’s body shape variability. This study aimed to ev...

Why involvement remains fragile: a qualitative comparison of principal investigators’ and patient organisations’ perspectives in Italy

Patient Public Involvement is increasingly promoted to enhance the relevance, feasibility, and ethical grounding of clinical research, particularly in oncology, where trials can be demanding, and quality-of-life trade-offs are substantial. Despite this, involvement often remains...
