Costruire in pietra, pratica e storia. Laboratorio di stereotomia - Palermo 2016
2016
Il volume raccoglie i contributi presentati in occasione del seminario introduttivo al Laboratorio di stereotomia, tenutosi presso il Dipartimento di Architettura dell'Università degli studi di Palermo nel mese di aprile del 2016, e un contributo che illustra quest'ultima esperienza. Nel complesso, i diversi saggi ruotano intorno al tema della costruzione in pietra nell'ambito dell'architettura tardogotica, con particolare attenzione alle volte, osservata da diversi punti di vista e ambiti disciplinari che spaziano dalla storia, al disegno, alla storia della costruzione. Ricerca e didattica si intrecciano e concorrono a fare nuova luce su esperienze costruttive di primo piano nella storia d…
Il duomo di San Giorgio a Ragusa-The Cathedral of St. Giorge in Ragusa
2015
Il volume ripercorre la storia di una grande fabbrica dell'architettura siciliana del Settecento, opera dell'architetto Rosario Gagliardi: il duomo di San Giorgio a Ragusa. Le “due raguse” dopo il terremoto del 1693; la chiesa di San Giorgio e il suo architetto; i frammenti della chiesa cinquecentesca: la tribuna di Antonino Gagini; la ricostruzione del duomo dopo il terremoto del 1693; un nuovo progetto per la cupola sono gli argomenti approfonditi dalla ricerca. The volume traces the story of a large religious factory of the eighteenth century in Sicily, a work of the architect Rosario Gagliardi: the cathedral of St. George in Ragusa. The two Raguse after the earthquake of 1693; the churc…
La chiesa di Santa Maria della Catena a Palermo come exemplum
2016
Realizzata entro il terzo decennio del XVI secolo, la chiesa di Santa Maria della Catena a Palermo mostra una gamma di soluzioni linguistiche, di impianto, spaziali e costruttive di grande interesse, che coniugano sapientemente tradizione e "modernità". Il saggio propone una riflessione critica sul ruolo di exemplum svolto da questa architettura nel contesto artistico culturale nel quale si inserisce, con riferimento in particolare alla soluzione di copertura della crociera con una volta costolonata a cinque chiavi.

Impact of supplier-specific investments in inter-organisational information systems on strategic electronic coordination: the moderation effect of bu…
2018
Abstract This paper examines the factors which influence sharing of the strategic information (in other words, electronic coordination) in a buyer–supplier dyad. The antecedents of this coordination are examined rather well in the transaction cost economics (TCE) theory and resource-dependency theory (RDT), while the supply chain management perspective is contemplated. The mentioned frameworks are used in the analysis. However, the research focus is narrowed down to the exploration of the antecedents of information exchange conducted via inter-organisational information systems (IOS). The empirical analysis is based on 198 observations of Norwegian companies operating in different types of …
A regional GIS-based model for reconstructing natural monthly streamflow series at ungauged sites
2016
Several hydrologic applications require reliable estimates of monthly runoff in river basins to face the widespread lack of data, both in time and in space. The main aim of this work is to propose a regional model for the estimation of monthly natural runoff series at ungauged sites, analyzing its applicability, reliability and limitations. A GIS (Geographic Information System) based model is here developed and applied to the entire region of Sicily (Italy). The core of this tool is a regional model for the estimation of monthly natural runoff series, based on a simple modelling structure, consisting of a regression based rainfall-runoff model with only four parameters. The monthly runoff i…
Influence of the Resin Layer Thickness at the Interface of Hybrid Metal-composite Co-cured Joints
2011
As discussed in literature, the accurate analysis of the modern co-cured joints between composite materials or between a metal and a composite material (hybrid joints) is complicated by the influence of the interface resin layer on the interface singular stress field. In such joints, in fact, there is not a proper adhesive layer and the thickness of the resin layer, that plays the role of the adhesive, is not constant due to the presence of the reinforcing fibers in the composite adherent. For this reason several authors assume that a generic co-cured joint can not be studied as a simple bi-material joint, without considering the particular characteristics of the actual resin layer. This pr…

Productivity dynamics and the productivity trap: problems and solutions in Latvia
2019
By analysing changes in productivity and labour costs in Latvia from 2013 till 2017, we can see that growth of labour costs exceeds the growth of productivity by more than 2 times in both, tradable sector and total economy. Slow growth in productivity compared with the labour and other production expenses lead to an increase in the price of final goods and services, which negatively corresponds with producers’ competitiveness in both internal and external market. Furthermore, this leads to a drop-in consumption of domestic production and inefficient production facility usage, resulting in declining economic growth rates. The rapid growth in labour costs is mainly associated with the tight s…
