| "Energy Demand in Buildings" |
| "Building design strongly influences the quantity of heating, cooling and electricity needed during building operation. Therefore, a correct thermal design is essential to achieve low energy and low carbon buildings, with good indoor air quality. This course will enable you to understand the basic principles of the energy chain: demand, supply and distribution; and how they relate to design principles for sustainable and energy-efficient buildings. Second, you will discover what type of heat losses and gains take place in buildings’ operations. You will learn how to estimate these flows using simple meteorological data and construction properties. You will acquire knowledge on how to estimate heat transfer through construction, ventilation, solar radiation or caused by internal sources or heat storage in the construction. Third, you will learn to make estimates of buildings’ energy needs on an hourly basis by using simple static energy balances: how much energy comes in and out and which air temperature is needed? When is there heating or cooling? How much electricity is needed? Fourth, you will discover how to extend your estimates to yearly energy demand, which is essential to make sure that a building is energy efficient and to estimate energy savings and energy costs. You will then also be able to determine the size of the needed heating and cooling equipment (which determines the costs of equipment). Finally, you will learn how to optimize building design and will be able to find out the optimal window size or the optimum insulation thickness for your building. You will know why putting windows on the south façade is not always energy-efficient. You will understand the thermal interactions between building components and be able to make informed decisions on how to increase the energy efficiency of new and existing buildings. This course is part of the PCP Buildings as Sustainable Energy Systems. In the other courses in this program you can learn how to choose low carbon energy supply, how to create a comfortable indoor environment, and how to control and optimize HVAC systems."

| "Energy Supply Systems for Buildings" |
| "In this course, you will discover the supply side of buildings’ energy chain. The first step is to consider how to convert natural resources into the energy needed by buildings: what are the options to create heat, cold and electricity? You will learn about efficiency and use this concept to estimate building’s primary energy use and carbon emissions. This concept is widely used in many national and international policies and building regulations, and is essential to counteract climate change. You will study the performances of single heating systems like electrical heating, gas, or renewables like biomass, solar boilers and geothermal heat, followed by single cooling systems like evaporative cooling and environmental cold. We will also examine the systems that concurrently produce heat and cold. Do you know for instance that a heat pump and a cooling machine are identical devices? You will learn about the basic working principles of heat pumps and how to make sure they achieve high performance levels. After this course you will know how an Aquifer Thermal Storage makes smart use of the ground to deliver cold in summer and heat in winter. Diverse electricity generation methods using turbines (wind, hydro), photovoltaics or hydrogen fuel cells will also be examined. You will learn how cogeneration of heat and power works and why this is important for the rational use of energy resources. You will also know why heat pumps are often combined with boilers or to which extent it is worth to invest in batteries for your solar panels. By the end of the course you will be able to decide on how to combine energy conversion systems at building level in order to match buildings’ energy demand while keeping costs acceptable, using a minimum of natural resources and producing a minimum of carbon emissions. This course is part of the PCP Buildings as Sustainable Energy Systems.

| "Thermal Comfort in Buildings" |
| "Even in the well-accepted indoor temperature range of 20-24°C (68-75°F), people can experience thermal discomfort. Complaints about the indoor thermal environment are one of the major complaints building and facility managers have to deal with, and they spend a large amount of their time and money to solve them. People spend more than 80% of their time in buildings. Therefore a good thermal comfort and quality of the indoor environment are essential for their wellbeing, health and productivity. In this course you will learn how to ensure good indoor thermal comfort and air quality, and how these factors relate to building design and to buildings’ energy systems. Comfort complaints mean user dissatisfaction, which in turn means delays and resistance to accept technologies needed for low carbon emission buildings. So if you want to discover what to pay attention to in your energy designs, or in designing new concepts for sustainable buildings, this course is for you. First you will discover the two main theories of thermal comfort, learning which measurable physical parameters and combinations of parameters impact people’s comfort. Second, you will understand why it is so difficult to create indoor environments satisfying everyone and which main parameters to tune to make buildings comfortable. Third, you will discover how to measure, analyze and solve existing comfort complaints, and finally you will find out what determines a healthy indoor air quality. This course is part of the PCP Buildings as Sustainable Energy Systems. In the other courses in this program you can learn how to design buildings with low energy demand, how to choose low carbon energy supply, and how to control and optimize HVAC systems."

| "Efficient HVAC Systems" |
| "In this course you will start by identifying the different steps a HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) engineers need to follow to come to a proper design while collaborating with the architect. You will then learn how to distribute heat and cold using air and water systems, what temperature levels to use in both and how that relates to the type of energy supply and to the thermal quality of the building construction. You will further deepen your knowledge on air handling units and how to humidify and dehumidify air when needed and what that does mean for the energy consumption. As ventilation systems are often responsible for local thermal discomfort, you will also discover how different distribution systems lead to different comfort experiences and different indoor air qualities and you will know which simple control techniques can be applied. Finally you will study a modern complex system consisting of an aquifer thermal storage, heat pump, boiler, solar collector, PV-cells, air handling unit, water and air distribution systems. This will allow you to develop skills to catch the complexity of such HVAC systems and to understand the basic rules of how to control them to get the best out of them and how to use data from the Building Energy Management System to help you in this task. This course is part of the PCP Buildings as Sustainable Energy Systems. In the other courses in this program you can learn how to design buildings with low energy demand, how to choose low carbon energy supply and how to determine if this will lead to a comfortable indoor environment."

| "Cosmic Rays, Dark Matter, and the Mysteries of the Universe" |
| "In the Universe, high-energy cosmic rays are violently propagating in space. While we know these cosmic rays come from outside of the solar system, exactly how and where they originate is a mystery. Professor Shoji Torii from Waseda University and many researchers from around the world, believe that understanding about their origin will help resolve the mysteries of the Universe, such as, supernova remnants, dark matter, and even the Universe’s evolution. The most widely accepted theory is that high-energy cosmic rays are created by supernova explosions, but there are many other possibilities. Professor Torii hypothesis that these mysterious cosmic rays originate by the annihilation or decay of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPS). That is, they are candidates of dark matter. To examine this theory and to truly understand where high-energy cosmic rays originate and propagate, Professor Torii, along with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and in collaboration with NASA and the Italian space Agency (ASI) have developed the Calorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET), now onboard the international space station. Join us on this course on high-energy cosmic rays and get the latest research findings from the International Space Station to help unravel some of our greatest mysteries."

| "Japanese Business Management" |
| "The Japanese economy was once described as the “rising sun,” overcoming all odds to become an economic superpower. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, many of the largest companies in the world with the highest capitalization were Japanese. Often, the key to Japan's success was attributed to its unique business model, strategies and practices. However, Japan no longer enjoys strong growth. Since the infamous “burst of the bubble”, Japanese companies have slipped from dominance and lost their competitive edge to companies in America, China and other regions. Japan's once highly acclaimed business management has been critiqued, judged, and brought into question. Japan is now in a transitional phase. Some companies are cementing their traditional business practices, others are transforming their strategies entirely, while still others are unsure how to adapt to the new times. This course is essential for anyone aiming to be a global leader. Ithelpsthem understand the basics of Japanese business, Japan's rise (including its successes and failures), and allows them to seefuture potential. The course takes a holistic approach.

| "Archeoastronomia e Orologi Solari" |
| "Il corso affronta lo studio di due discipline solo apparentemente lontane da loro. La prima, la più giovane per codificazione scientifica, avvenuta solo nel XIX secolo, è stata denominata “Archeoastronomia”, ovvero la scienza che studia gli allineamenti astronomici di alcuni particolati edifici del passato e il loro significato. Si registra oggi una crescente importanza di tale disciplina da quando architetti, archeologi e studiosi di astronomia si sono resi conto che l’archeoastronomia fornisce una chiave di lettura spesso nuova e inaspettata della forma e della funzione di molti monumenti del passato. Dopo una parte propedeutica di introduzione alla astronomia, in particolar modo ai modelli geometrici usati per lo studio dei suoi fenomeni connessi alle due discipline oggetto del corso, quali ad esempio il movimento apparente del Sole e delle stelle, vengono affrontati alcuni esempi come casi studio. In particolare il corso propone tre ricerche innovative e inedite sul circolo di pietre megalitico di Callanish in Scozia, sulla chiesa Rupestre di San Nicola di Myra nelle vicinanze della citta pugliese di Mottola e sull’osservatorio astronomico Maya di Cichen Itza, dal 1988 patrimonio dell’umanità UNSECO. La seconda parte del corso è dedicata alla gnomonica, ovvero la scienza per la costruzione degli orologi solari, che si basa sui medesimi processi geometrici analizzati per il moto apparente del Sole. Il corso ne illustra il funzionamento di una larga gamma di diverse tipologie di orologi solari e fornisce quelle conoscenze indispensabili per poter nuovamente leggere la misura del tempo grazie a questi sofisticati strumenti artistici e, al contempo scientifici, del passato. Vengono inoltre descritte alcune meridiane monumentali della città di Napoli, costruite entrambe nel XVII secolo ad opera di eminenti studiosi operanti in quei tempi nel fiorente clima culturale della corte del Borboni, la prima collocata nella Certosa di San Martino e la seconda nel Gran Salone del Museo Archeologico Nazionale_MANN. This course combines two independent subjects whose distance from each other is only apparent. The first, archeoastronomy, was scientifically codified in the XIXth century and it is the study of the astronomical alignments of some peculiar buildings from the past along with their meaning. This discipline has been gaining more and more attention since architects, archeologists and astronomy scholars realized that archeoastronomy permits to have a new and unexpected perspective on the shape and functions of many monuments. After a preparatory introduction to astronomy and to the geometrical models used to study the phenomena connected to these two disciplines such as the apparent motion of the sun and the stars, the students will be presented with three innovative and unpublished researches on the circle of megalithic stones in Callanish (Scotland), on Saint Nicholas from Myra rock church near Mottola (Apulia) and on the Mayan astronomical observatory of Cichen Itza (Unesco World Heritage Site since 1988). The second part of this course is dedicated to gnomonics, i.e. the study of the sundials construction which is based on the same geometrical processes analyzed in the apparent motion of the sun. This MOOC will then show how several types of sundials work so as to enable the students to read the time through these sophisticated artistic and scientific tools from the past. Moreover, the users will also be introduced to two monumental sundials in Naples that were built in the XVIIth century by the eminent scholars that were then active in the thriving court of the Bourbons: the Charterhouse of Saint Martin’s sundial and the one kept in the Great Hall of the National Archaelogical Museum (MANN)."

| "Il Teatro e le sue illusioni prospettiche" |
| "Il corso intende fornire allo studente i basilari principi geometrici per la progettazione e la gestione del progetto di quelle scene teatrali, che fondano la propria espressività sugli effetti prospettici delle architetture e degli spazi illusori allestiti sul palcoscenico. La scenografia teatrale è una disciplina caratterizzata da un insieme complesso di fasi, che mirano ciascuna a ricreare un voluto effetto illusorio, ideato in prima istanza dallo scenografo con la creazione del bozzetto della scena. Il bozzetto, realizzato in prospettiva, è una immagine pittorica che contiene tutte le indicazioni necessarie all'allestimento della scena, di cui deve essere garantita l'esatta trasposizione nello spazio del palcoscenico. Lo strumento di progettazione, controllo e di realizzazione della voluta illusione progettata nel bozzetto una particolare scena è da secoli la prospettiva. Il corso fornisce alcuni indispensabili principi geometrici per la progettazione della prospettiva solida accelerata, metodo illusorio di costruzione di uno spazio fisico che simula agli occhi degli spettatori profondità maggiori di quelle realmente esistenti nello spazio del palco teatrale. Attraverso un sintetico percorso tra le tappe storiche fondamentali toccate dalla scenografia dal XVI secolo ad oggi e grazie all'acquisizione di alcuni cenni di scenotecnica, il corso si propone di guidare lo studente nella gestione dei processi geometrici che intervengono nella trasposizione scenica del bozzetto, dall’immagine dipinta, e dunque bidimensionale, alla tridimensionalità dello spazio del palcoscenico teatrale. Si presentano infine i lavori di tre tesi di laurea, allo scopo di mostrare allo studente come un uso consapevole della dei processi prospettici applicati alle illusioni della scena teatrale ha reso possibile tre proposte di allestimento di alcune tra le principali e più famose opere liriche: l’Aida, la Tosca e la Madama Butterfly. The scope of this course is to provide the students with the basic geometrical principals on the planning and management of those theatrical scenes characterized by the stage’s architecture and illusion spaces’ perspective effects. Theatrical scenography is made of several complex phases aiming at recreating an intended illusory effect firstly sketched by the scenographer. The sketch is made in perspective and it consists in a painting containing all the instructions needed for its exact implementation on the stage. In fact, the planning, control and reproduction of a specific desidered illusion on a scene has been granted for centuries now, by perspective. This MOOC will present some of the essential geometric principles on the accelerated solid perspective, i.e. an illusory method used for the construction of a physical space tricking the audience with greater depths than there actually are on the stage. Moreover, the students will master the geometry behind the scenic reproduction of the sketch: from the two-dimensional painting to the three-dimensional space of the stage, by going on a short journey through the historical phases of scenography from the XVIth century to today and through the acquisition of fundamental concepts of this discipline. This course will finally show how the conscious use of the perspective processes applied to the theatrical scene has led to the stage implementation of three graduation thesis proposals in three famous operas: Aida, Tosca and Madama Butterfly."

La sociologia ci spinge ad esaminare le realtà prossime, la vita di tutti i giorni: come la gente lavora, viaggia, vive, si muove e come partecipa, quali sono i collegamenti tra questioni pubbliche e problemi personali. La sociologia è un “punto di vista” dal quale osservare i fenomeni sociali, non l’unico, ma utile ed indispensabile per dar conto della complessità della realtà sociale. Le dieci lezioni tratteranno i diversi ambiti e/o aspetti di fenomeni sociali (demografici, normativi, spaziali, culturali, religiosi, educativi, economici, politici), dedicando particolare attenzione al tema delle disuguaglianze che per molti aspetti è un oggetto privilegiato della considerazione sociologica. This aim of this MOOC is to study past and current societies. Through sociology, we get to examine aspects of everyday life such as the way people work, travel, live, commute, take part in the civil society and how they link public and private issues. Sociology is a “point of view” from which to observe the social phenomena. Although it is not the only one, it certainly is useful and essential to comprehend how complex social realities are. This course will deal with the several aspects of the social phenomena (demographic, normative, spatial, cultural, religious, educational, economical and political ones) and focus on inequality, being this topic one the privileged subjects of sociology."

| "Programmazione I" |
| "Questo corso si occupa della programmazione orientata agli oggetti (classi, oggetti, ereditarietà, polimorfismo, le altre relazioni tra classi), la memoria dinamica, lo sviluppo di alcuni contenitori quali pile e code, la gestione delle eccezioni. Imparerai a progettare un algoritmo e i concetti fondamentali di programmazione utilizzando come linguaggio di riferimento il linguaggio C++. Per sviluppare gli esempi e gli esercizi presentati durante il corso è possibile utilizzare un qualsiasi compilatore C++ (Standard). Si segnalano: l'ambiente di sviluppo DevC++ (GNU General Public License) per Windows, Xcode per Mac OS X, il compilatore GNU C++ su Linux, l'ambiente C++ per piattaforma Eclipse. The aim of this course is to illustrate the object-oriented programming (classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism and other relationships between classes), the dynamic memory, the development of other containers such as piles and queues and the management of the exceptions. Moreover, the students will learn how to design algorithms and other fundamental programming concepts in C++ language. All the examples and exercises of this course can be developed with any C++ (Standard) compiler: the environment development DevC++ (GNU General Public License) for Windows, Xcode for Mac OS X, GNU C++ for Linux and the environment C++ for Eclipse."

| "Storia Economica" |
| "La storia non si ripete, la storia è solo una lente raffinata di osservazione della realtà. Con questo corso ripercorreremo attraverso una prospettiva globale quelli che sono i temi classici della storia economica: dal mercantilismo, alla rivoluzione industriale, le grandi guerre fino alla fase della globalizzazione attuale e alla crisi economica. L’obiettivo formativo è di valutare fatti, processi, interpretazioni e approcci differenti rilevanti, per acquisire una visione ampia e stimolare una considerazione critica delle più attuali problematiche economiche. Su argomenti ritenuti fondamentali, lo scenario storico viene disegnato comparativamente: a) come tradizionale descrizione di fenomeni sistemici o di successioni per fasi e transizioni da un sistema all’altro; b) secondo le tendenze più recenti, all’interno di precisi paradigmi economici, coincidenti con schemi teorici (commercio internazionale, convergenza) integrati con posizioni di mainstream economico. History doesn’t repeat itself. History is just a refined observation lens of reality. This course will retrace the steps of the history of economics in a global perspective: mercantilism, the industrial revolution, the world wars, globalization and the financial crisis. Its aim is to evaluate facts, processes, interpretations and different relevant approaches so as to get a wide, critical perspective on the current financial issues. Essential historic events will be described comparatively: • traditionally, as systematic phenomena or as facts made of phases and transitions from one system to another; • contemporarily, as events comprehended in precise financial paradigms coinciding with theoretical schemes (international trade, convergence) and integrated with economical mainstream positions."

| "Algorithms: Design and Analysis, Part 2" |
| "Welcome to the self paced course, Algorithms: Design and Analysis, Part 2! Algorithms are the heart of computer science, and the subject has countless practical applications as well as intellectual depth. This course is an introduction to algorithms for learners with at least a little programming experience. The course is rigorous but emphasizes the big picture and conceptual understanding over low-level implementation and mathematical details. After completing this course, you will have a greater mastery of algorithms than almost anyone without a graduate degree in the subject. Specific topics in Part 2 include: greedy algorithms (scheduling, minimum spanning trees, clustering, Huffman codes), dynamic programming (knapsack, sequence alignment, optimal search trees, shortest paths), NP-completeness and what it means for the algorithm designer, analysis of heuristics, local search. Learners will practice and master the fundamentals of algorithms through several types of assessments. There are 6 multiple-choice problem sets to test your understanding of the most important concepts. There are also 6 programming assignments, where you implement one of the algorithms covered in lecture in a programming language of your choosing. The course concludes with a multiple-choice final. There are no assignment due dates and you can work through the course materials and assignments at your own pace."

| "El cerebro y las emociones en el lenguaje" |
| "La emoción tiene una influencia sustancial en los procesos cognitivos de los seres humanos, incluida la percepción, la atención, el aprendizaje, la memoria, el razonamiento y la resolución de problemas; pero también en la construcción de las relaciones con el entorno social. Cada vez se suma más evidencia sobre los procesos cognitivo-comunicativos y lingüísticos que promueven el comportamiento social; como por ejemplo, reconocer emociones en el lenguaje del otro, su asociación con aspectos concretos de la comunicación y el hecho de entender que no necesariamente piensa y siente igual a nosotros. Este curso de inteligencia emocional ayuda a entender cómo se procesa el lenguaje emocional y así darnos pistas sobre como producir, modular e interpretar el lenguaje emocional. Este curso en línea se suscribe en el campo de la neurociencia cognitiva y social; es decir, sobre el origen biológico de los procesos que suponen la interacción con nuestros propios congéneres."
