4Ts Game was born in ITD in 2017 to indicate a board game for teacher training, which aims to develop skills in designing collaborative learning activities. The game was originally conceived as a 'tangible' game, consisting of a board and 4 decks of paper cards which contain inputs that guide the teachers/players' design process. Subsequently the game evolved and was developed in its digital version. In this version, developed in Unity and with an underlying knowledge base in Prolog, the game is able to provide feedback to teachers regarding the design/game choices made.

Time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) is regarded as the “gold-standard” method for fluorescence lifetime measurements. However, TCSPC requires using highly sensitive detectors, not suitable for measurements under bright light conditions, thereby making the use impractical in clinical settings. The invention described here solves this problem by synchronizing the fluorescence detection with an external light source.
The present invention relates to the biomedical sector of the treatment of lung diseases and related symptoms. In particular, the present invention provides compositions and methods based on the use of selected polymeric biomaterials, in combination with stem cells and/or their secretome, capable of synergistically improving the development, regeneration and repair of chronic lung injuries and related symptoms.
The containers for plants and the like have different shapes, an open top to facilitate irrigation and material supply; a base that includes one or more holes to facilitate proper water drainage and to ensure ventilation for the rooting apparatus. An inconvenience of these containers is related to their placement in outdoor environments without roofs: in the presence of "unfavorable" climatic conditions, excessive exposure to rain water rather than excessive exposure to the sun, these containers expose plants to a series of problems.
CPIAbot is a conversational assistant supporting the learning of Italian L2 for migrants. It has been tested in particular in the context of CPIA - Centri Provinciali per l'Istruzione degli Adulti - MIUR.
The present invention relates to a gamma camera for intracavitary use, which is widely used in the field of radio-guided surgery (intra-operative and laparoscopic and robotic-assisted) for the localisation of lymph nodes and tumours and/or other pathologies. The aim of the present invention is to make available an intraoperative tool able to overcome the drawbacks of the present known art.
The assessment of bio-humoral markers beyond clinical evaluation would allow a more comprehensive pheno/endotyping of patients affected by chronic inflammatory diseases. Therapy personalization would require a profile of the mediators that are relevant in the disease pathogenesis and that well correlate with prognosis. Currently, the measurement of multiple biomarkers is not included in patient evaluation because it has high costs, requires centralized laboratories, experienced personnel and bulky equipment and is time-consuming.
This technology is an e-health application. The DragONE application is inspired by the global guidelines for the management of asthma, which promote the opportunity to implement a multidimensional assessment of pediatric asthma using innovative systems. DragONE allows to record data on the subjective control of asthma, by using easy-to-understand colors and icons for children (red, yellow or green dragon), to keep track to the patient’s of perceived state.
We propose an optical technique for the fast check of the presence, on the exposed surfaces of persons and objects, of explosives and their precursors, or drugs, or in general materials which are not allowed in restricted environments: airports, courts, places of worship, etc. The technique yields bi-dimensional pictures, with exposure time of < 1 sec, reporting the target substances, and their locations and quantities. The technique already provided laboratory preliminary results, to be completed, and fully validated for sensitivity and selectivity.
The development of functional foods is often limited by industrial manufacturing processes, for example, for the production of baked foods, the use of high cooking temperatures causes denaturation of proteins, destruction of vitamins, alteration of fatty acids, etc. The protection of these components is essential in the production of gluten-free foods as they are generally poor in proteins and vitamins.
The platform HistoPlat implies the development and validation of a mathematical algorithm, potentially combinable with an image analysis software, that, through a multiparametric approach including the immunohistochemical analysis of both expression and localization of multiple markers, allows the histopathologist or oncologist to optimize the diagnosis and prognosis, and to predict the clinical response to therapies directed towards validated and/or innovative molecular targets, also taking into account the individual variability of each pati
The herein described technology aims at the development of a platform of injectable hydrogels for application as drug carriers for localized delivery or in the regenerative medicine field. The use of ad-hoc synthesized poly(ether urethane)s (PEUs) as hydrogel forming materials is a common property which characterizes all the systems belonging to this platform.
Detection devices for the presence of molecules of interest (analytes) enjoyed a renewed burst with the introduction of biological components (biosensors). Their high specificity is often used in various fields, from environmental monitoring and biomedicine to the protection and promotion of agri-food products. However, the high cost of production and the lack of compatibility with mass sampling (high-throughput) sometimes limit their use.
At IFN-CNR, in collaboration with Politecnico di Milano-Department of Physics, we have developed Raman microscopy approaches compatible with the study and characterization of biological and industrial samples. In detail, our facility houses a self-built spontaneous confocal Raman microscope with the following characteristics: two excitation lasers (660nm and 785nm), inverted microscope (Olympus IX-73) and Princeton spectrometer / CCD.
The development of new materials with near-infrared emission (NIR, 700 – 1000 nm) represent an important target in the technological progress of innovative active components for OLED devices (including flexible ones), surveillance systems, autonomous driving, night vision sensors, fiber optic telecommunications and medical systems. In all these fields it still lacks a commercial NIR-OLED technology.
