Il corpo delle emozioni. Una prospettiva antica sull’intreccio tra menti, corpi e parole

2022

In this paper we propose a reflection on the intertwining of mind, body, and words in ancient Greek thought, with specific reference to Gorgias and Aristotle. In particular, we believe that it was the reflection developed within rhetoric – though not the only one – that played a central role in the first articulation of the conceptual framework where the relationship between soul and body, in a very peculiar and specific way, takes place. There are at least two salient features of this rhetorical perspective, which will be investigated here with specific reference, as mentioned, to Gorgias and Aristotle: the insistence on the close interrelationship between body and soul, an interrelationsh…

What epistemological status for technai stochastikai? Plato and Aristotle on conjectural knowledge

L'eroico, il meraviglioso e la scultura immaginifica lungo l'asse di via Toledo a Palermo (XVI-XVIII secolo)

2017

Lungo la via Toledo (oggi corso V. Emauele) e sul suo prolungamento extra moenia (stradone di Monreale, attuale corso Calatafimi) si snoda un itinerario immaginifico che si rivela nell'iconografia delle fontane, dei monumenti e degli apparati architettonico-scultorei nei quali temi eroici, cavallereschi e fantastici si intrecciano e si sovrappongono, veicolando valori ideologici , politici, civici . Sul percorso della rinnovata strada del Cassaro, il nuovo asse rappresentativo della città e luogo deputato a "teatro"di ogni manifestazione civile e religiosa, si dispiega il "meraviglioso" che si incontrava nei libri di cavalleria, e la fantasia, i miti, le leggende risvegliati dai romanzi amo…

Functions definable by numerical set-expressions

2011

A "numerical set-expression" is a term specifying a cascade of arithmetic and logical operations to be performed on sets of non-negative integers. If these operations are confined to the usual Boolean operations together with the result of lifting addition to the level of sets, we speak of "additive circuits". If they are confined to the usual Boolean operations together with the result of lifting addition and multiplication to the level of sets, we speak of "arithmetic circuits". In this paper, we investigate the definability of sets and functions by means of additive and arithmetic circuits, occasionally augmented with additional operations.

Elementi di psicologia empirica in Aristotele e Pomponazzi

2017

Pietro Pomponazzi is an author who never gained prominence in the history of philosophical thought. He lived between the late 15th and early 16th centuries, and is one of the most significant figures in the Italian philosophy of the Renaissance. His main work De immortalitate animae, published in 1516, witnesses the “rebirth” of human sciences in the wake of the Aristotelian tradition established at the University of Padua. Thanks also to his work, while Florence was the seat of Platonism, Padua was the seat of Aristotelianism, confirming the rediscovery of a classical culture that was the foundation of modern culture. In the case of Pomponazzi, it should be emphasized that the return to Ar…

Hardware-efficient matrix inversion algorithm for complex adaptive systems

2012

This work shows an FPGA implementation for the matrix inversion algebra operation. Usually, large matrix dimension is required for real-time signal processing applications, especially in case of complex adaptive systems. A hardware efficient matrix inversion procedure is described using QR decomposition of the original matrix and modified Gram-Schmidt method. This works attempts a direct VHDL description using few predefined packages and fixed point arithmetic for better optimization. New proposals for intermediate calculations are described, leading to efficient logic occupation together with better performance and accuracy in the vector space algebra. Results show that, for a relatively s…

A genome‐wide comparison between selected and unselected Valle del Belice sheep reveals differences in population structure and footprints of recent …

2023

About three decades of breeding and selection in the Valle del Belìce sheep are expected to have left several genomic footprints related to milk production traits. In this study, we have assembled a dataset with 451 individuals of the Valle del Belìce sheep breed: 184 animals that underwent directional selection for milk production and 267 unselected animals, genotyped for 40,660 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Three different statistical approaches, both within (iHS and ROH) and between (Rsb) groups, were used to identify genomic regions potentially under selection. Population structure analyses separated all individuals according to their belonging to the two groups. A total of fo…

Magnien, Rennes, Presses Universitaires de Rennes, 2020, pp. 508. Il volume accoglie gli atti del Colloquio Internazionale dedicato all’umanista friulano Francesco Robortello (1516-1567), svoltosi a Rennes fra il 6 e l’8 ottobre 2016. Apparso nel 2020, a quattro anni di distanza dalla sua celebrazione, il volume comprende complessivamente 23 interventi di studiosi francesi, italiani, tedeschi e statunitensi – tutti pubblicati in lingua francese, a eccezione di cinque in italiano. Review to Francesco Robortello. Réception des Anciens et const…

Fuzziness: Came for the View, Stayed for the Same

2013

The first time I came across Fuzzy Sets, my first point of contact with Soft Computing, I was a young and inexperienced student of Computer Science in my hometown University. I had just completed the first semester, and as an aside of an image processing curriculum a loud-spoken, very kinetic lecturer spent a couple of hours introducing us to the mysteries of the idea of degree and Fuzzy arithmetic. The whole thing had a sort of secret sect bent, something like the secret tools that the powers to be don’t want you to know and use – a probably unwitting attitude I have seen many times in the community and that has harmed more than helped, but that on an unexperienced and young student as mys…

Le «31 biblioteche più belle del mondo». Dalla Real Biblioteca del Monasterio de San Lorenzo de El Escorial di Madrid al trasferimento, nella nuova s…

2021

Gabriella De Marco propone un saggio sulla centralità dell'istituzione biblioteca nella società contemporanea. Il contributo, che prosegue alcuni precedenti progetti di ricerca avviati dall'autrice sin dai primi anni duemila, è centrato sullo spazio abitabile e sul potenziale identitario di un edificio. Punto di partenza del suo ragionamento è il presupposto che lo spazio misurabile è anche spazio mentale. Ciò attiva una serie di considerazioni legate al rapporto tra il tempo della storia e il tempo del fruitore. Un edificio, pertanto, e nello specifico una biblioteca sia pubblica o privata sia nazionale o di quartiere, si percepisce ed esiste anche nel tempo soggettivo di chi la fruisce.
