Il Fatto Quotidiano: La ricercatrice e la figlia, la giovane assegnista, l’ex studente e i due istruttori: chi sono i 5 italiani morti alle Maldive

Erano tutti grandi appassionati di mare e immersioni. Molti ne avevano fatto una professione. A iniziare da Monica Montefalcone, 51 anni, docente in Ecologia all’università di Genova. Con lei c’era anche la figlia, Giorgia Sommacal, 23 anni, studente della stessa università. E ancora Muriel Oddenino di Poirino, ricercatrice dell’ateneo genovese e originaria del Torinese. Insieme alle tre donne c’erano gli istruttori subacquei Gianluca Benedetti di Padova e Federico Gualtieri di Omegna, che si era laureato pochi mesi con una tesi seguita proprio da Montefalcone. Si era immersi nell’atollo di Vaavu, alle Maldive, per esplorare una grotta a circa 50 metri di profondità. Ma non sono riusciti a risalire per cause ancora da accertare.
Montefalcone era la più esperta del gruppo. Professoressa associata in Ecologia all’Università di Genova, volto noto anche in tv, ricercatrice e studiosa dell’ambiente marino, la docente – che aveva quattro corsi di riferimento – lavorava presso il Distav, Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra, ed era nota per il suo grande amore per il mare e per essere responsabile di alcuni importanti progetti in ambito marino quali Talassa, GhostNet e MER “A16-A18”. Aveva 51 anni.
Con lei c’era la figlia Giorgia Sommacal, che avrebbe compiuto 23 anni tra pochi giorni e condivideva la passione per le immersioni con la mamma. Anche Oddenino, 31enne di Poirino, era una ricercatrice all’ateneo genovese, mentre Benedetti e Gualtieri erano istruttori subacquei. Il primo era il capobarca: originario di Padova, dopo una lunga esperienza nel mondo delle banche e della finanza, aveva deciso di esplorare nuove strade e di trasformare la subacquea, passione di lunga data ed impegno lavorativo già svolto da molti anni part-time in Italia, in un’attività a tempo pieno. Gualtieri, 31 anni, era stato uno studente di Montefalcone, con la quale si era laureato a marzo scorso in Biologia ed Ecologia Marina.

The researcher and her daughter, the young scholarship student, the former student, and the two instructors: who are the 5 Italians who died in the Maldives?

They were all great sea and diving enthusiasts. Many had made it a profession. Starting with Monica Montefalcone, 51 years old, a professor of Ecology at the University of Genoa. She was accompanied by her daughter, Giorgia Sommacal, 23 years old, a student at the same university. There was also Muriel Oddenino of Poirino, a researcher at the Genoa university and originally from Turin. Together with the three women were the diving instructors Gianluca Benedetti of Padua and Federico Gualtieri of Omegna, who had graduated a few months earlier with a thesis followed by Montefalcone. They had immersed themselves in the Vaavu atoll, in the Maldives, to explore a cave at a depth of about 50 meters. But they were unable to surface due to causes still to be determined.

Montefalcone was the most experienced of the group. Associate Professor of Ecology at the University of Genoa, she was also a well-known figure on television, a researcher and scholar of marine environments. The professor – who had four reference courses – worked at the Distav, Department of Earth Sciences, and was known for her great love of the sea and for being responsible for several important projects in the marine field, such as Talassa, GhostNet, and MER “A16-A18”. She was 51 years old.

With her was her daughter Giorgia Sommacal, who would have turned 23 in a few days and shared her passion for diving with her mother. Oddenino, a 31-year-old from Poirino, was also a researcher at the Genoa university, while Benedetti and Gualtieri were diving instructors. The first was the head of the boat: originally from Padua, after a long experience in the banking and finance world, he had decided to explore new paths and transform scuba diving, a lifelong passion and part-time work already undertaken for many years in Italy, into a full-time activity. Gualtieri, 31 years old, had been a student of Montefalcone, with whom he graduated last March in Biology and Marine Ecology.

Nach dem wunderbaren und sehr deprimierenden Vortrag über den Zustand der Ostsee habe ich mir (endlich) ein Armband von #bracenet bestellt. Heute ist es angekommen.

Danke für die schnelle Lieferung und dafür, dass Ihr einen Teil des Kaufpreises an #seashepherd spendet.

Real-time-распознавание лиц: методы обучения быстрых и точных моделей для работы на мобильных девайсах

Привет, Хабр! Меня зовут Вадим Селютин, я старший исследователь в компании VisionLabs. Наши решения по распознаванию лиц можно встретить в офисных центрах, московском метро и кассах самообслуживания супермаркетов. Во всех этих кейсах мы используем нейросети, которые адаптируем специально для мобильных устройств. В этой статье я расскажу про постановку задачи распознавания лиц, подходящие мобильные архитектуры, обучение распознаванию лиц на больших объемах данных и способы повысить точность маленькой архитектуры.

Kann mir jemand sagen, warum mein #Speedtest mir anzeigt mein #Anbieter sei #GhostNet?!?
Hat das was mit dem Verstecken der IP vom #iPhone zu tun?
Alles was ich online zu GhostNet finde ist ein Hacker-Angriff auch China 2010...
Was bored last night and poking my nose into trouble. Turns out the #GhostNet guy has a Gab account (yikes). And sure enough, it didn't take long to find the chuds singing the praises of the whole thing.

Productive weekend on the beaches with #SeaShepherdUK

Saturday, three of us digging and dragging off #ghostnet plus assorted tyres and lobster pots up in Northumberland.

Sunday, Blast Beach at Seaham, with a great turn out. 29 bags taken off, along with the usual weird industrial stuff, and a tractor tyre to haul to the top of a 30m cliff, and then 3/4 of a mile along the top, managing not to skittle any members of the public on the way which would have been a bit awkward.
