Alesa Arconidea (Tusa): proposta ricostruttiva dell’agora tardo ellenistica
2022
In the second half of the second century BC, in the wake of the building renovation that affected the most important urban centers of northern Sicily, even the ancient city of Alesa Arconidea remodeled its monumental structure. The agora/forum, in particular, was restructured in a scenographic system, acquiring the architectural characteristics of a typical Hellenistic monumental complex, similar to those of Greece and Asia Minor, by which it was influenced. In planimetric terms, to date up to the present time, the agora represents a unicum in Sicily because of its Π shape with deep double columns of the arcade, which enclose a large square excluded to vehicular traffic. Recent researches a…
Much more than a clasp : evolutionary patterns of amplexus diversity in anurans
2020
The evolution and diversification of animal reproductive modes have been pivotal questions in behavioural ecology. Amphibians present the highest diversity of reproductive modes among vertebrates, involving various behavioural, physiological and morphological traits. One such feature is the amplexus, which is the clasp or embrace of males on females during reproduction and is found almost universally in anurans. Hypotheses about the origin of amplexus are limited and have not been tested thoroughly, nor have they taken into account evolutionary relationships in most comparative studies. However, these considerations are crucial to an understanding of the evolution of reproductive modes. Her…
Data for: Refining the temperature dependence of the oxygen and clumped isotopic compositions of structurally bound carbonate in apatite
2020
Compilation of all measured and calculated data from equilibrated gases and empirical transfer functions (I.), standard (II.) and sample (III.) measurements including δ47 and raw Δ47 values. Comparison of [Brand] processed Δ47 values of ETH-1, ETH-2, and ETH-3 with Δ47 values from prior studies (IV.).The sample materials (III.) are: Synthetic hydroxyapatites, tooth enamel(oid) and dentine from African elephant (Loxodonta africana) and Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus), sand tiger shark tooth dentine (Carcharias taurus), and megatooth shark tooth enameloid (Carcharodon megalodon). THIS DATASET IS ARCHIVED AT DANS/EASY, BUT NOT ACCESSIBLE HERE. TO VIEW A LIST OF FILES AND ACCESS THE F…
Ancestral Reconstruction and Investigations of Genomic Recombination on some Pentapetalae Chloroplasts
2019
Abstract In this article, we propose a semi-automated method to rebuild genome ancestors of chloroplasts by taking into account gene duplication. Two methods have been used in order to achieve this work: a naked eye investigation using homemade scripts, whose results are considered as a basis of knowledge, and a dynamic programming based approach similar to Needleman-Wunsch. The latter fundamentally uses the Gestalt pattern matching method of sequence matcher to evaluate the occurrences probability of each gene in the last common ancestor of two given genomes. The two approaches have been applied on chloroplastic genomes from Apiales, Asterales, and Fabids orders, the latter belonging to Pe…
Ipotesi di ricostruzione virtuale della piazza maggiore a Noto Antica
2019
Today ancient Noto is a medieval archaeological site, yet to be discovered. After the 1693 earthquake, the ancient city of Noto, in the middle of the Baroque period, was rebuilt in another place and the ancient city was abandoned. The first excavation campaign in ancient Noto by Paolo Orsi dates back to the period between 1894 and 1896. In the following years there will be other excavation campaigns, in which other architectural and sculptural relics will be found. They are today part of the collection of the Civic Museum. The contribution focuses on the study of the piazza Maggiore (Main Square) site, the center of the ancient city and on the surrounding buildings. After analyzing the limi…
Muon track reconstruction and data selection techniques in AMANDA
2004
The Antarctic Muon And Neutrino Detector Array (AMANDA) is a high-energy neutrino telescope operating at the geographic South Pole. It is a lattice of photo-multiplier tubes buried deep in the polar ice between 1500m and 2000m. The primary goal of this detector is to discover astrophysical sources of high energy neutrinos. A high-energy muon neutrino coming through the earth from the Northern Hemisphere can be identified by the secondary muon moving upward through the detector. The muon tracks are reconstructed with a maximum likelihood method. It models the arrival times and amplitudes of Cherenkov photons registered by the photo-multipliers. This paper describes the different methods of r…
How preconditioning and pretensioning of grafts used in ACLigaments surgical reconstruction are influenced by their mechanical time-dependent charact…
2021
Abstract Purpose Consensus about a pre-implant preparation protocol adaptable to any graft used in Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction is still lacking. In fact, there is not agreement on reliable metrics that consider both specific graft dimensional characteristics, such as its diameter, and the inherent properties of its constitutive material, i.e. ligaments or tendons. Aim of the present study was to investigate and propose the applied engineering stress as a possible metrics. Methods Preconditioning and pretensioning protocol involved groups of grafts with different section (10 or 32 mm2) and materials (i.e. human patellar and hamstring tendons, and synthetic grafts). A 140 N load…
Ricostruzione virtuale dei resti archeologici: sperimentazione di approcci integrati innovativi per lo studio e la valorizzazione dell’area sacra del…
2022
Il progetto di cui si presentano i risultati è rivolto all’ambito delle Scienze applicate al Patrimonio culturale e, nella fattispecie, all’applicazione di metodologie e tecnologie innovative di ricostruzione virtuale di supporto allo studio, alla valorizzazione e alla fruizione innovativa dei beni archeologici. Esso ha richiesto, per l’acquisizione delle competenze necessarie alla sua conduzione, lo svolgimento di uno stage presso la Virtutim srl in Roma, per la formazione all’uso delle tecniche di rilievo 3D e dei software di grafica e modellazione virtuale con cui sono stati realizzati i contenuti multimediali presentati di seguito, nonché un periodo di studio all’estero, presso l’Instit…
