This article describes the evolutionary process and the state of the art of podcasting from a theoretical and analytical perspective. This work integrates the main results of several researches carried out by the author in different countries, whose main conclusions show that podcasting has acquired a transmedia narrative texture that goes beyond the monomedia model from its beginnings, giving way to a new medium, transpodcast, which presents complex structural systems characterized by a specific multiplatform grammar and a high diversity of contents. Transpodcast is supported by the development of robust affinity communities, users and fans. These communities are built as peer-to-peer communication spaces and algorithmic environments where an evident automation of the fandom takes place.

This work discusses recent developments in sharing economy concepts and collaborative co-design technology platforms applied in districts and cities. These developments are being driven both by new technological advances and by increased environmental awareness. The paper begins by outlining the state of the art in smart technology platforms for collaborative urban design, highlighting a number of recent examples. The case of peer-to-peer trading platforms applied in the energy sector is then used to illustrate how sharing economy concepts and their enabling technologies can accelerate efforts towards more sustainable urban environments. It was found that smart technology platforms can encourage peer-to-peer and collaborative activity, and may have a profound influence on the future development of cities. Many of the research and development projects in this area to date have focused on demonstrations at the building, neighbourhood, and local community scales. Scaling these sharing economy platforms up to the city scale and beyond has the potential to provide a number of positive environment impacts. However, significant technical and regulatory barriers to wider implementation exist, and realising this potential will require radical new approaches to the ownership and governance of urban infrastructure. This paper provides a concise overview of the state of the art in this emerging field, with the aim of identifying the most promising areas for further research.

This paper is a general description of the state-of-the-art on the European and colonial building techniques found in wooden buildings that currently exist. The description of the use and diffusion of the wooden structures is made by a brief explanation of the relative structural systems, as well as the peculiarities of the elements that compose it, its operating principles, the points of weakness and the joints used. Thus, the English and German techniques of structural timber frameworks are described in detail. On the other hand, other structural techniques and their evolution are presented through a review of works and documents that describe them accurately.

State of the art unimodal dialogue agents lack some core aspects of peer-to-peer communication—the nonverbal and visual cues that are a fundamental aspect of human interaction. To facilitate true peer-to-peer communication with a computer, we present Diana, a situated multimodal agent who exists in a mixed-reality environment with a human interlocutor, is situation- and context-aware, and responds to the human's language, gesture, and affect to complete collaborative tasks.

Nowadays peer-to-peer (p2p) technologies are widely adopted and used for building even more sophisticated services: from ubiquitous file-sharing systems to the even more popular Internet telephony. In addition, the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) has been used for different purposes. Due to its intrinsic generality and flexibility, it could be adopted to build and manage also p2p applications. Moreover, the p2p philosophy could be applied to the existing SIP architecture, to cope with issues such as Denial of Service (DoS). In this paper, we survey the state of the art of the joint use of p2p and SIP. Some hints and examples in using SIP as a core technological component of the p2p world are also presented.

The purpose of this paper is to provide a review and an assessment of the state-of-the-art in the area of statistical and equivalent linearization in the analysis of nonlinear stochastic systems. Included in the discussion are systems subjected to stationary and nonstationary excitations as well as parametrically excited systems. A variety of linearization criteria are discussed together with accuracy associated with these procedures. This review also includes some applications of equivalent linearization to the study of dynamics of mechanical and structural systems subjected to environmental loads such as wave loads and earthquake excitations. Limitations of current procedures of equivalent linearization are mentioned and suggestions for areas of further research are made.

Various authors have emphasized the spatial information resident in an electron micrograph taken with adequately coherent radiation. In view of the completion of at least one such instrument, this opportunity is taken to summarize the state of the art of processing such micrographs. We use the usual symbols for the aberration coefficients, and supplement these with £ and 6 for the transverse coherence length and the fractional energy spread respectively. He also assume a weak, biologically interesting sample, with principal interest lying in the molecular skeleton remaining after obvious hydrogen loss and other radiation damage has occurred.
