Architetture del vino. Un disegno per il territorio agricolo
2008
L’attenzione verso le architetture del vino realizzate nel mondo ha sollecitato l’interesse per il paesaggio caratterizzato e disegnato dalla vigna; questo ha comportato l’attenzione per gli architetti contemporanei, capaci di esprimere un nuovo rapporto con il paesaggio. Il libro raccoglie gli esiti della ricerca e della didattica svolta in occasione di un workshop internazionale di progettazione architettonica tenutosi a Menfi (AG) nel 2005. L’obiettivo è stato quello di presentare le numerose esperienze prodotte intorno a tale tema e, nello stesso tempo, esprimere le esplorazioni progettuali sui temi della città attraverso una progettualità che aspira ad un nuovo disegno del territorio.
I vuoti: descrizione e progetti
2008
La srategia dell'intervento di riqualificazione di via della Vittoria, che attraversa tutto il centro urbano di Menfi, prevede di potenziare il ruolo degli spazi aperti, considerandoli materia di connessione tra fatti urbani diversi, sia alla scala generale urbana che a quella del tessuto della città storica. Sono stati descritti alcuni caratteri e condizioni per definire i modi di intervento: le relazioni tra spazi aperti, le possibili permeazioni, mai dirette, tra via della Vittoria e via Garibaldi (asse di fondazione della città), le unità suscettibili di trasformazione. Si sono così individuati alcuni nuclei, secondo l'intento di intervenire per punti: lungo il sistema dei muri di spina…

Photocatalytic nano-composite architectural lime mortar for degradation of urban pollutants under solar and visible (interior) light
2017
Abstract Recent advances in nano-technology and nano-additives can give enhanced properties to natural hydraulic lime (NHL), creating a multifunctional material. We have prepared a novel nanocomposite, made of a commercial mortar with 1 wt% and 5 wt% added titania nanoparticles (NPs). These TiO 2 NPs are themselves doped with 1 mol% silver, to give the material enhanced photocatalytic and antimicrobial properties. The Ag-doped TiO 2 NPs were made from a simple, costs effective, aqueous green nanosynthesis process, and the end material only contains 0.01–0.05% Ag. As this mortar is intended to both combat atmospheric pollution, and create more durable/lower maintenance building facades (plas…
The Large Observatory For x-ray Timing
2014
The Large Observatory For x-ray Timing (LOFT) was studied within ESA M3 Cosmic Vision framework and participated in the final down-selection for a launch slot in 2022-2024. Thanks to the unprecedented combination of effective area and spectral resolution of its main instrument, LOFT will study the behaviour of matter under extreme conditions, such as the strong gravitational field in the innermost regions of accretion flows close to black holes and neutron stars, and the supra-nuclear densities in the interior of neutron stars. The science payload is based on a Large Area Detector (LAD, 10 m 2 effective area, 2-30 keV, 240 eV spectral resolution, 1 deg collimated field of view) and a WideFi…
Hydrogels for Three-Dimensional Ionizing-Radiation Dosimetry
2021
Radiation-sensitive gels are among the most recent and promising developments for radiation therapy (RT) dosimetry. RT dosimetry has the twofold goal of ensuring the quality of the treatment and the radiation protection of the patient. Benchmark dosimetry for acceptance testing and commissioning of RT systems is still based on ionization chambers. However, even the smallest chambers cannot resolve the steep dose gradients of up to 30–50% per mm generated with the most advanced techniques. While a multitude of systems based, e.g., on luminescence, silicon diodes and radiochromic materials have been developed, they do not allow the truly continuous 3D dose measurements offered by radiation-se…
Customer Environmental Values and Their Contribution to Loyalty in Industrial Markets
2016
Concern over the effect of industries on the natural environment is growing on a multitude of levels. This study examines the effects of how perceptions of (a) environmental values, (b) green image and (c) perceived value of industrial customers influence their loyalty towards suppliers in existing relationships, and how the length of B2B relationships may moderate these linkages. A conceptual framework is developed and data are collected from a global sample (N =121) of B2B customers. We find that both green image and perceived value have a direct positive link with customer loyalty and that environmental values are positively linked to the green image of the supplier. Moreover, the effect…
Get up, stand up: Alongside adolescents and young adults with cancer for their right to be forgotten
2022
Adolescent and young adult cancer survivors may experience various forms of social difficulties years or even decades after completing their cancer treatments. This article will hopefully help the Italian national project dedicated to adolescents and young adults with cancer promoting political and legal solutions to stop discrimination and supporting the right to be forgotten.
Systems Approaches in the Enterprise Architecture Field of Research: A Systematic Literature Review
2018
This study explores the use of the systems approaches (systems thinking and systems theories) as the theoretical underpinnings for Enterprise Architecture (EA) research. Both the academic and the practitioner communities have maintained an interest in EA due to its potential benefits, promising for the recent technological and business advances. EA as a research area is, however, characterized by diversified views depicted in different definitions of the concept, and no acknowledged common theoretical foundation. A number of prior studies have noticed this gap in the EA field of research, and called for a strengthening of the theory of EA. Variegated systems approaches have been suggested a…
