The Importance of Betting Early
We evaluate the impact of timing on decision outcomes when both the timing and the relevant decision are chosen under uncertainty. Sports betting provides the testing ground, as we exploit an original dataset containing more than one million online bets on games of the Italian Major Soccer League. We find that individuals perform systematically better when they place their bets farther away from the game day. The better performance of early bettors holds controlling for (time-invariant) unobservable ability, learning during the season, and timing of the odds. We attribute this result to the increase of noisy information on game day, which hampers the capacity of late (non-professional) bettors to use very simple prediction methods, such as team rankings or last game results. We also find that more successful bettors tend to bet in advance, focus on a smaller set of events, and prefer games associated with smaller betting odds
Studio e progettazione di una smart camera per la rilevazione del traffico
Questa tesi presenta uno studio per la progettazione di una tecnologia di rilevazione del traffico stradale basata su smart camera. L’hardware utilizzato è la MouseCamera, una smart camera a bassissima risoluzione, basata sul sensore per immagini dei mouse ottici, scelta per i suoi ridotti costi e grandezze. La rilevazione del traffico è effettuata attraverso l’algoritmo di stima 3D-RS, implementato e ottimizzato per l’hardware scelto. Dalla matrice di stima del movimento vengono riconosciuti gli oggetti in movimento attraverso algoritmi implementati ad hoc e classificati a seconda della tipologia di veicolo attraverso i parametri di area, velocità e rapporto altezza/lunghezza. I collaudi effettuati mostrano uno scostamento dal conteggio reale dei veicoli di circa il 10%

Precision and accuracy of robot-assisted technology with simplified express femoral workflow in measuring leg length and offset in total hip arthroplasty
Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and Herpes Simplex Type 1 Infection during Adalimumab Therapy for Crohn's Disease
Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a severe mucocutaneous adverse drug reaction with a relatively high mortality rate. SJS is described during herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) infection and, rarely, even during adalimumab therapy. We report the case of a patient with Crohn’s disease who developed SJS during an HSV1 infection and a contemporaneous anti-TNFα therapy with adalimumab. Remission was achieved with suspension of adalimumab and high doses of intravenous steroids and antivirals. Patients with HSV1 infection and on adalimumab therapy have a combined risk of SJS and should be monitored closely
Diagnostic Accuracy of Magnetic Resonance Arthrography in Detecting Intra-articular Pathology Associated with Femoroacetabular Impingement
Surface X-ray Diffraction Study of a Bi-Layer Junction Based on Cu and Cd Sulfides for Photovoltaic Applications
none9noThis study investigates the crystal structure of thin films of chalcogenides, particularly a junction
with a p-type (Cu2S) and an n-type (CdS) layer deposited one on top of the other on a Ag(111)
substrate, starting from an aqueous solution and by means of electrochemical atomic layer
deposition (E-ALD) (the system is denoted by (Cu2S)60/(CdS)60/Ag(111)).mixedTommaso Baroni; Francesco Di Benedetto; Andrea Giaccherini; Enrico Berretti; Francesca Russo; Annalisa Guerri; Massimo Innocenti; Francesco CarlĂ ; Roberto FeliciBaroni, Tommaso; DI BENEDETTO, Francesco; Giaccherini, Andrea; Berretti, Enrico; Russo, Francesca; Guerri, Annalisa; Innocenti, Massimo; CarlĂ , Francesco; Felici, Robert
