Islands of biogeodiversity in arid lands on a polygons map study: Detecting scale invariance patterns from natural resources maps.
2016
Many maps (geology, hydrology, soil, vegetation, etc.) are created to inventory natural resources. Each of these resources is mapped using a unique set of criteria, including scales and taxonomies. Past research indicates that comparing results of related maps (e.g., soil and geology maps) may aid in identifying mapping deficiencies. Therefore, this study was undertaken in Almeria Province, Spain to (i) compare the underlying map structures of soil and vegetation maps and (ii) investigate if a vegetation map can provide useful soil information that was not shown on a soil map. Soil and vegetation maps were imported into ArcGIS 10.1 for spatial analysis, and results then exported to Microsof…

Incluye: Correction: Burden of injury along the development spectrum: associations between the Socio-demographic Index and disability-adjusted life year estimates from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017. Inj Prev. 2020 Oct;26(Supp 1):i164. doi: 10.1136/injuryprev-2019-043296corr1. Epub 2020 Sep 28. PMID: 32989004 Background: The epidemiological transition of non-communicable diseases replacing infectious diseases as the main contributors to disease burden has been well documented in global health literature. Less focus, however, has been given to the relationship between sociodemographic changes and injury. The aim of this study was to examine the association between disability-adjuste…

Dantisti, dantofili, dantologi, dantomani e dantofobi nel dibattito estetico (e politico) nell’Italia di primo Novecento
2019
« Dantofobi », « dantisti » et « dantomani » étaient au début du XXe siècle trois mots clés moins d’un discours sur la fortune ou réception de Dante que d’un débat esthétique décisif en Italie : celui qui avait lieu entre les adeptes de la méthode historique, l’avant-garde crocienne et le leader de la culture italienne, B. Croce. Dantomani et dantofobi, risquaient vraiment de troubler les eaux dantesques encore plus que ne l’avaient fait les dantisti. Encore une fois, dans l’histoire culturelle italienne.
Mantrana. Un gioco
2020
Mantrana è una collezione di aforismi che costituisce una “magica enciclopedia” del sapere. Ciascun Mantra – in sé autonomo – è ordinato tematicamente insieme ad altri a formare diverse raccolte. Mantrana, però, è anche una sorta di domino in cui ogni giocatore può disporre i Mantra a proprio piacimento. Può dare agli uni la precedenza nei tempi rispetto agli altri, trovare nuove relazioni tra i Mantra e allinearli diversamente. È come cercare conchiglie sulla spiaggia, disporle secondo motivi e scompigliarle di nuovo: il gioco vive proprio di questo.
From an epoxide monomer toolkit to functional PEG copolymers with adjustable LCST behavior.
2011
The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior of novel poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based copolymers bearing multiple functional groups, obtained by anionic ring-opening (co)polymerization (AROP), has been investigated. Variable comonomer ratios of ethylene oxide (EO) and the corresponding oxiranes isopropylidene glyceryl glycidyl ether (IGG), ethoxyl vinyl glycidyl ether (EVGE), allyl glycidyl ether (AGE), or N,N-dibenzyl amino glycidyl (DBAG), particularly designed to implement functional groups at the PEG backbone, were found to influence the LCST behavior. Sharp transitions from translucent to opaque solutions, comparable to other well-established stimuli-responsive polymers, w…
The Event Structure of Motion Perception
2004
Motion perception on the basis of optic flow is often studied using purely perceptual response paradigms such as forced choice preferences, and using straightforward motor responses such as simple stereotypical reaction times. Here we argue for a more complex perspective that takes into account the event structure of ecological motion perception. In particular, we hope to convince the reader that the would-be perceptual response to a motion stimulus is noticeably modified be the type of response that is required from the actor. We will argue that our actions modify our perception and more precisely, that the planning component of intended actions influence processing of time critical motion…
Has palaeontology answers for some current environmental problems?
2021
History as an irreversible process has no role from a uniformitarian point of view in geology and palaeobiology. Contingency is another trait of history and particle palaeontology has its foundation on such principles. However, new approaches in physics and the theory of systems point out the need to consider a time arrow. Moreover, chance and necessity are interwoven in synergetics and self-organization theory and there may be some possibility of prediction. The global biota has a history resulting from a process of self-organization. A rich fossil record was produced during the Phanerozoic times and this fossil record shows us how life overcame several important crisis. A clear understand…

The authors regret errors were present in the published article. Counts of some of the adverse events were erroneous. Changes to the text include. Last sentence of the abstract should read. Adverse effects of PPE included heat (1266, 51%), thirst (1174, 47%), pressure areas (1088, 44%), headaches (696, 28%), Inability to use the bathroom (661, 27%) and extreme exhaustion (492, 20%). All but pressure areas were associated with longer shift durations. Last sentence of the results section of the manuscript should read. All but pressure areas were associated with longer duration of shifts wearing PPE (Table 4). Table 1 the total number of community/urban type of hospital should read 740 instead…
Del fantastico architettonico
2012
L’interesse di Caillois per il fantastico è stato declinato nella sua opera in moltissime varianti: da quello più tradizionale dell’arte e della letteratura a quello del mondo animale e minerale, fino a quello urbano La mitologia della città di Parigi ritorna con forza maggiore nelle due tarde opere cailloisiane, Petit guide du XVe arrondissement à l’usage des fantomes (1977) e Apprentissage de Paris (1978), nella forma di una scrittura non più meramente saggistica ma romanzesca e/o autobiografica. L’architettura destinata ad accogliere i fantasmi è dunque espressione del fantastico architettonico, per i suoi oggetti, per la sua modalità di presentazione e per lo sguardo che su di essa vi e…
