Platone e gli Eleati (II)
2017
Si cerca di mostrare che le tendenze eleatiche erano molto diffuse nell´ Atene del IV secolo, probabilmente nella stessa Accademia e che Platone ha scritto Sofista e Parmenide essenzialmente contro i Megarici Plato gives two constrasting accounts of Zeno's philosophical purposes in the Phaedrus and Parmenides. The Parmenides is more accurate in detail, and consequently it is more probable that Zeno intended to defend Parmenides' teaching, as he is represented as doing in this dialogue, than to accumulate eristic contradictions for their own sake, as he is represented as doing in the Phaedrus. Plato seems to be aware that one of the main features of Socratism, dialectic reasoning, originates…
Photovoltaic plant array reconfiguration: Design of a new device
2014
An efficient strategy to improve unequally irradiated PV plants performances is based on the reconfiguration of the connections between the modules. In this paper, an algorithm, for this purpose conceived, is presented. Moreover, the design, realization and finally also the set up of a new reconfiguration system device is fully shown and discussed. The algorithm conceived simulates several possible series-parallel connections under varying irradiation conditions, and determines the optimal modules connection in order to get the maximum output power. In this way, the reconfiguration system may set up the reconfiguration strategy. The reconfiguration system prototype set up, basically consist…

Is globalization a fair process? Globalizers vs. globalized
2018
Globalization means that domestic economies are becoming more and more intertwined and mutually dependent on each other. Unfortunately these globalization processes are asymmetrical. This determines that there are different groups of participants of globalization - globalizers, active participants and marginalized. It seems quite obvious that globalizers are doing better economically than the others. But is this really true? The aim of this paper is to answer the question, if more globalized countries are really doing better economically than less globalized. To do this there was an analysis of relations between globalization and chosen economic indexes (inflation, unemployment, GDP per cap…
Monozygote, weibliche Zwillingsfrühgeborene diskordant für das seltene, schwere Fehlbildungssyndrom einer fetalen Megazystis mit Kloakenfehlbildung n…
2016
Monozygote Zwillinge gelten gemeinhin als „identische Klone“. Es gibt jedoch eine zunehmende Anzahl an Fallberichten uber diskordante eineiige Zwillinge und Ursachen fur Diskordanz werden vermehrt untersucht. Wir berichten uber monozygote Zwillingsfruhgeborene, diskordant fur die seltene fetale Megazystis bei Kloakenfehlbildung. Durch Konzeption mittels intrazytoplasmatischer Spermieninjektion entstand nach Transfer von 2 Embryonen ein monochoriales, diamniales Zwillingspaar. Im ersten Trimenon wurde eine diskordante fetale Megazystis mit konsekutivem Oligohydramnion und Lungenhypoplasie bei unauffalligem Karyotyp diagnostiziert. Das betroffene Kind wurde bei 25+3 SSW geboren, palliativ beh…
Optimal selection of touristic packages based on user preferences during sports mega-events
2022
Sport mega-events, such as the Soccer World Cup or Olympic Games, attract many visitors from all over the world. Most of these visitors are also interested in, besides attending the sports events, visiting the host nation and the neighboring countries. In this paper, we focus on the upcoming FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. As per the schedule of the tournament, a national team can play 7 matches at most. Therefore, a supporter will have six short breaks (of three to five days) between consecutive matches in addition to two longer ones, immediately before and after the tournament, during which they can plan some touris- tic trips. We study the problem faced by a touristic trip provider who wants …
MACROCEPHALY FROM A NORMAL VARIANT TO A THREATENING CONDITION. A SINGLE CENTER RETROSPECTIVE STUDY ON 189 SUBJECTS
2020
Introduction: Macrocephaly, defined as a head circumference more than two standard deviations from the normal distribution, is among the most frequently requested neuropediatric consultations. Materials: we conducted a retrospective study on 189 subjects with macrocephaly, from birth to 18 years old, enrolled from October 2001 to December 2019, for diagnostic definition and/or neurodevelopmental assessment. Brain sonography has been performed in all infants and CT or MR in selected patients. Results: macrocephaly was prevalent in males (62.4%), a head circumference >3SD (8.5%) has been associated with a neurodevelopmental impairment. A genetic and/or concomitant malformation were present…
RECUPERARE L’INFRASTRUTTURA :L’HIGH LINE DI NEW YORK, 1929 - 2009.
2010
Designed by James Corner – Field Operation with Diller & Scofidio + Renfro, the High Line elevated Park is set on top of a forsaken elevated railroad structure in the old Manhattan’s meatpacking district. In over 20 years of abandonment, a lush urban wilderness has converted the High Line's tracks into a spontaneous greenway, whose unexpected beauty inspired the new park design, now matching with the huge regeneration of the Hudson Riverfront. The reuse of this abandoned infrastructure, claimed and partnered by the association Friends of the High Line, lean on some characteristic of the former viaduct which passes through buildings and runs nearly 30 feet in the air. Embodying the hybrid be…
Toxic megacolon and human Cytomegalovirus in a series of severe ulcerative colitis patients
2015
Abstract Background Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection has been reported to be a cause of refractory ulcerative colitis (UC). Toxic megacolon (TM) is a rare but severe complication of an acute attack of UC. Objectives Aim of this study is to evaluate in a case-control study the association between HCMV and TM. Study design All patients who were admitted at Medicine Department of V. Cervello Hospital in Palermo (tertiary referral center) for a severe UC flare-up complicated by the onset of TM (diameter of the transverse colon > 6 cm) between January 1990 and November 2011 were identified through the electronic database. A total of 24 consecutive patients (16 male/8 female) with TM were i…
