Il Gran Caffè di Giuseppe Damiani Almeyda
2015
Il testo affronta lo studio di un’opera giovanile di Giuseppe Damiani Almeyda (1834-1911), figura di spicco del panorama architettonico in Sicilia tra la seconda metà dell’Ottocento ed i primi del Novecento. Il progetto del Gran Caffè, vincitore di prestigiosi riconoscimenti, anche se realizzato quando Damiani non era ancora trentenne, risulta molto maturo e segna una tappa importante nella formazione dell’architetto. Se ne ritroveranno richiami progettuali nel Politeama, edificio a cui il suo nome è legato, e in una grandiosa opera didattica, la Scuola Italiana di Architettura Civile, che, purtroppo, non è mai stata pubblicata. I disegni originali, a matita, inchiostro ed acquerello su car…
Un progetto non realizzato: il Gran Cimitero di Giuseppe Damiani Almeyda. Dai disegni di archivio alla ricostruzione tridimensionale.
2016
L’obiettivo di questo studio è la ricostruzione e l’analisi di un progetto non realizzato: il Gran Cimitero di Giuseppe Damiani Almeyda (1834-1911), a partire dai suoi disegni originali, realizzati a matita, inchiostro e acquerello su cartoncino. Il progetto ha vinto la medaglia d’oro sia alla Prima Mostra Nazionale di Belle Arti di Firenze, nel 1861, sia alla Mostra di Sicilia di Belle Arti, nel 1863. La ricostruzione del modello tridimensionale è servita per dedurre elementi di interpretazione, quali l’impostazione modulare dell’intera composizione, e viste prospettiche, ombreggiate o renderizzate, elaborate cercando rendere visibili gli spazi immaginati nei disegni originali in proiezion…
The Thin bilateral and bipedicled DIEAP flap for axillary reconstruction in hidradenitis suppurativa
2019
Reconstruction after resection of advanced stage hidradenitis suppurativa is currently performed with pedicled perforator flaps, that allow functional reconstruction and preservation of shoulder function. Skin availability is limited by the possibility of closing the donor site primarily. Bilateral cases need to be treated in two stages, since the operation is carried out in the lateral decubitus. In this manuscript the application of bilateral and bipedicled DIEAP flaps to bilateral and extensive cases is presented.Between October 2008 and October 2018, 39 patients were treated for axillary hidradenitis suppurativa. Of these, 11 patients had bilateral reconstruction with bilateral DIEAP fl…
Multiwavelet Frames Originated From Hermite Splines
2015
The chapter presents a method for the construction of multiwavelet frame transform for manipulation of discrete-time signals. The frames are generated by three-channel perfect reconstruction oversampled multifilter banks. The design of the multifilter bank starts from a pair of interpolating multifilters, which originate from the cubic Hermite splines. The remaining multifilters are designed by factoring polyphase matrices. Input to the oversampled analysis multifilter bank is a vector-signal, which is derived from an initial scalar signal by one out of three pre-processing algorithms. The post-processing algorithms convert the vector output from the synthesis multifilter banks into a scala…
The Nymphaeum of the Tritons at Hierapolis of Phrygia (Turkey) from excavations to 3D-virtual reconstruction: an example of integrated methods in the…
2011
The Nymphaeum of the Tritons at Hierapolis of Phrygia is a monumental fountain of the Roman period with an imposing marble façade. Within the activities of the Italian Archaeological Mission the Nymphaeum is currently being studied by a team from the University of Messina with the goal of understanding its original layout and its history. The starting point of the study is the wealth of data provided by stratigraphic excavation of the building, particularly by the extensive archaeological deposits formed by the blocks of the façade collapsed into the pool of the fountain following an earthquake in the 7th century AD. The need to process a large amount of data required the creation of a comp…
Rilievo e ricostruzione virtuale del Ponte Sud di Hierapolis di Frigia (Turchia)
2015
[ES] El artículo se refiere al levantamiento topográfico y la reconstrucción en 3D de un puente-acueducto romano situado inmediatamente al sur de Hierápolis, en Frigia (suroeste de Turquía), a lo largo del antiguo camino dirigido a Colosas, en el interior de Anatolia. Actualmente sólo se conservan su pilar sur y escasos restos del pilar norte. Se encuentra en una situación muy difícil, en el interior de un valle estrecho y profundo, y nunca se ha estudiado antes. Durante la campaña de trabajo de campo de 2011 de la Misión Arqueológica Italiana, fue examinado con un diferencial de alta precisión del sistema GPS (para la documentación del plan y su posicionamiento en el mapa digital arqueológ…
The plant landscape of the Sicilian archaeological areas through the iconographic documentation of travellers and naturalists
2018
The landscape is commonly defined as the set of physical and historical-anthropological characters expressed by a territory. Our re-elaboration defines the landscape as the set of perceivable characters of a territory expressed in relation to the stratification of the occurred natural and cultural processes. The Grand Tour reports are one of the most effective means to fix at least one stage of evolution from the Sicilian landscape, before its further transformation. These reports provide often a stereotypical image of the landscape of the Island, in particular as regards the major archaeological areas subjected to particular attention by the cultured travellers. The authors summarize the c…
Rational vs historical reconstructions. A note on Blaug
2003
The paper focuses on Blaug's distinction between rational and historical reconstruction within the historiography of economics. Blaug's distinction is shown to be sterile and misleading and his definitions of no avail to clear thinking. Historical reconstruction (as defined by Blaug) is en empty box for reasons which are basically theoretical and not simply practical (as Blaug seems to hold). Moreover, Blaug's primary polemical target is Whig historiography and not rational reconstruction: the two concepts coincide only by means of an ad hoc definition. Blaug's criticism does not apply to other uses of the concept of rational reconstruction such as that proposed by Lakatos.
Il terremoto del 1542 in Val di Noto: i casi di Lentini e Siracusa, dalla gestione dell'emergenza al rinnovamento urbano
2012
All’interno del più generale quadro delle distruzioni e ricostruzioni di interi centri urbani o significative parti degli stessi conseguente al terremoto che nel 1542 colpì violentemente il Val di Noto, questo contributo analizza due casi studio di particolare interesse e chiaramente esemplificativi delle problematiche in campo, nonché delle strategie e modalità di intervento e dei processi di rinnovamento attivati dall’evento distruttivo. Nel caso di Lentini, le vicende conseguenti al terremoto agevolano la formulazione di un progetto di ricostruzione dell’intera città in altro sito che avrebbe soddisfatto anche esigenze di natura difensiva. Le opposizioni incontrate a livello locale fanno…
Event reconstruction algorithms for the ATLAS trigger
2007
The ATLAS experiment under construction at CERN is due to begin operation at the end of 2007. The detector will record the results of proton-proton collisions at a centerof- mass energy of 14 TeV. The trigger is a three-tier system designed to identify in real-time potentially interesting events that are then saved for detailed offline analysis. The trigger system will select approximately 200 Hz of potentially interesting events out of the 40 MHz bunch-crossing rate (with 109 interactions per second at the nominal luminosity). Algorithms used in the trigger system to identify different event features of interest will be described, as well as their expected performance in terms of selection…
