Technology and human sciences: A dialogue to be constructed or a common tread to be rediscovered?
2013
In this contribution we begin to discuss the thesis that an analysis of the similarities and differences of typical methodologies of human sciences, technology and hard sciences show some unforeseen but strong similarities between human sciences and technologies. In this context fuzzy sets ideas provide useful tools which help to render the analysis more quantitative but without loosing the connection with a purely descriptive analysis. These kinds of considerations would have been hardly conceivable in the setting of XIX Century conception of science. It is the development of Information sciences that has allowed these problems to emerge. In this paper we shall then briefly outline the gen…
A New Methodological Approach to Correlate Protective and Microscopic Properties by Soft X-ray Microscopy and Solid State NMR Spectroscopy: The Case …
2021
Hydrophobic treatment is one of the most important interventions usually carried out for the conservation of stone artefacts and monuments. The study here reported aims to answer a general question about how two polymers confer different protective performance. Two fluorinated-based polymer formulates applied on samples of Cusa’s stone confer a different level of water repellence and water vapour permeability. The observed protection action is here explained on the basis of chemico-physical interactions. The distribution of the polymer in the pore network was investigated using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray microscopy. The interactions between the stone substrate and the protective…
Technologies supporting vision screening: a protocol for a scoping review
2021
Introduction Vision problems affect academic performance, social and mental health. Most traditional vision screening methods rely on human expert assessments based on a set of vision tests. As technology advances, new instruments and computerised tools are available for complementing vision screening. The scoping review based on this protocol aims to investigate current technologies for vision screening, what vision tests can be complemented by technologies, and how these can support vision screening by providing measurements. Methods and analysis The planned review will utilise the PRISMA extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) tool. Electronic search will be performed in databases, i…
Market scope of vendors in the OSS software market
2007
This paper studies the market scope of vendors that produce software for telecommunications operators, i.e. the Operations Support Systems (OSS) market. The aim is to find out the strategies used by vendors in the OSS market. The market scope is studied on two dimensions: 1) the breadth of the scope in the OSS market; and 2) focus on the telecommunications industry. The breadth of market scope is divided into four categories: niche, vertical, layer and broad scope. We examine empirical vendor data from the years 2002 and 2005. Results show that all hypothesized strategies are present in the market. Most of the firms have either a niche, a vertical or a broad market scope, and they are speci…

In vivo evaluation of three-dimensional of volumetric changes using a CAD/CAM chair-side system : technical procedure
2017
An intraoral digital scanner in combination with specialized three-dimensional surface analysis software monitors volumetric changes to soft tissues or dental restorations. This technology can evaluate the success of a specific technique or medium- or long-term clinical outcomes in both clinical and research situations. This article describes how this technology was used to provide immediate chair-side data analysis without the help of specialized laboratory support. Key words:Intraoral scanner, CAD-CAM, best fit-method, surface tessellation language.
FISICA QUANTISTICA E FUNZIONI MENTALI SUPERIORI III
2010
Questo saggio riprende alcuni concetti di anatomia comparata e di fisiologia, sviluppati in una mia precedente ricerca dal titolo Termodinamica, campi quantici e funzioni mentali. Il fine è di chiarire alcuni punti controversi posti dall’analisi scientifica, in riguardo a teoremi di neuro anatomia e di neurofisiologia. Il filosofo Heiddegger H. riteneva che il pensiero umano non può affidarsi interamente all’indagine scientifica, traducendo in schemi ed in formule la vivente realtà della natura, sia fisica che biologica. La ricerca scientifica si basa su un sapere rigoroso e preciso, altamente dimostrativo che può competere con la matematica, ritenuta la scienza delle scienze. Nonostante ci…
FISICA QUANTISTICA E FUNZIONI CEREBRALI SUPERIORI (II)
2010
Data una semplice perturbazione, il processo lineare tende a rimanere leggermente alterato. Data la stessa perturbazione, un processo non lineare tende a tornare al suo punto di partenza. Huygens C. (fisico olandese del XVI sec.) inventò l’orologio a pendolo e la disciplina classica della dinamica. S’imbatté in uno dei grandi esempi di questa forma di regolazione. Huygens notò che vari orologi a pendolo, appoggiati contro una parete stavano oscillando in modo perfettamente sincronizzato. Sapeva che gli orologi non potevano essere così precisi. Huygens ipotizzò che gli orologi fossero coordinati da vibrazioni trasmesse attraverso la parete. Al presente, il fenomeno è definito agganciamento d…
