A Highly Linear Super-Resolution Mixed-Signal Doherty Power Amplifier for High-Efficiency mm-Wave 5G Multi-Gb/s Communications
(2019)2019 IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC)As the millimeter-wave (mm-wave) spectrum is believed to drive the next wireless communication revolution, there is a growing need for architectural research on advanced transmitter (TX) or power amplifier (PA) that can radically push the performance envelope of mm-wave power amplification to the next level [1]. This is especially true for future mm-wave 5G deployment that extensively employs high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) waveforms ...Other Conference Item -

Suburbanization and Ugliness: The Aesthetic Appropriation of the Postwar Urban Reality in the Work of Aldo Rossi, Bruno Zevi and Ludovico Quaroni
(2019)This presentation will unfold Tendenza and Neorealist architecture’s debates around the notion of ugliness, taking as main actors Ernesto Nathan Rogers and Aldo Rossi, for the former, and Ludovico Quaroni, for the latter. It will shed light on their respective positions regarding post-war city and will explain how they perceived the relation of post-war (sub)urbanization to city’s “uglification.” It will also present how ugliness was ...Other Conference Item -
The abandonment of ‘nuova dimensione’ and ‘urban renewal’ in a transatlantic perspective: the 1968 effects on the perception of urban conditions
(2019)Proceedings of the International Conference on Changing Cities IV: Spatial, Design, Landscape & Socio-economic DimensionsThe paper scrutinizes the effects of 1968 student protests on architectural education and epistemology within the European and American contexts. It shows how the concepts of urban renewal and ‘nuova dimensione’ were progressively abandoned, shedding light on the differences of how the “real” was treated in the American and the Italian context and on the impact that the student protests had on the models of urban evolution. Even if urban ...Other Conference Item -
OMA's Parc de La Villette and Perpetual Transcoding: The Diagram as Osmosis between Program and Territory
(2019)Conference Abstracts for 12th Annual Deleuze & Guattari Studies ConferenceGilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, in A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, shed light on the disjunction between code and territory. They sustain that “[t]he territory arises in a free margin of the code, one that is not indeterminate but rather is determined differently” and draw a distinction between milieu and territory. They also explain how “perpetual transcoding between milieus”, which each one is characterised by its ...Other Conference Item -
Real-time train rescheduling in high-frequency metro systems during partial blockages
(2019)With high frequency and unavoidable disruptions, metro systems are nowadays undertaking great emphasis on disruption management. This paper proposes a mixed integer programming model for train rescheduling in high-frequency metro systems during partial blockages. Several train rescheduling strategies are formulated into the model that considers station capacity and rolling stock circulation. The model is applied to a busy line of the ...Other Conference Item -
