Finte Pietre. Architettura dell'apparire e conservazione dei valori culturali
2012
Il volume presenta gli esiti di una ricerca incentrata sulla conoscenza delle finiture architettoniche di pietra artificiale, con particolare attenzione agli intonaci brevettati nel 1901 dai fratelli Li Vigni. Le attività di studio sono condotte attraverso la ricognizione dei documenti conservati presso l’Archivio Centrale dello Stato a Roma, e compiono una rigorosa selezione e analisi dei brevetti con l’obiettivo di tracciare il percorso evolutivo dei metodi d’intonacatura ed evidenziare i legami che s’instaurano tra le ricerche in corso nei diversi paesi. Nel XIX secolo i ricercatori di molte nazionalità avviano una selezione critica delle ricette tramandate dal passato e perfezionano pro…
DIAGNOSIS FOR ARCHITECTURAL CONSERVATION. A synthetic report of a campaign of non-destructive and minimally invasive diagnostic tests performed in th…
2014
The paper presents the results of a campaign of non-destructive and minimally invasive tests that were conducted in the church of Santa Maria delle Stelle in Comiso (Ragusa, Sicily), which is the larger church in the Diocese of Ragusa. It includes a summary of the reflections that arose during the preliminary surveys and instrumental tests, and reasons that supported the choice of investigations to be performed and methods to be specifically applied for the consolidation of the architectural structures and plaster layers.
THE ROLE OF THERMOGRAPHY IN THE NON-DESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION OF HISTORICAL ARCHITECTURAL SURFACES. Some observation about the method and its purpose
2014
Infrared-Thermography (IRT) has become a supporting tool for the investigation of historical structures and facades. Using the non-destructive testing method for the detection can give a profound knowledge about the current status of the object and the state of decay, about different kinds of discontinuities at historical facades, of construction details and of thermal bridges in the facades. Different case studies of thermographic surveys on some Sicilian monuments are presented and discussed to illustrate how the method can offer applicable information about the investigated objects and demonstrate its reasonable integration into conservation projects.

Statistical issues in the development of an automotive on-board diagnostics
2008
The automotive on-board diagnostics (OBD) is a complex system whose aim is to monitor the state-of-health of another complex system, i.e. the vehicle engine. OBD aimed at the containment of polluting exhaust emissions is nowadays compulsory on every vehicle model introduced into the market. Increasingly stringent regulations and ever more demanding customers push from opposite sides towards a perfect working of OBD systems. Therefore manufacturers are globally interested in the high robustness and reliability of such critical systems. The aim of this presentation is to give an insight into the main statistical problems arisen during an extensive research project carried out in collaboration…
Salivary inflammatory proteins in patients with oral potentially malignant disorders
2019
Cytokines are a group of small proteins involved in the regulation of infection, immune responses and inflammation. Since altered cytokine responsiveness has been linked to Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC), research to date indicates the possibility of using salivary pro- and anti-inflammatory proteins for screening of oral disorders. OSCC is a multistep neoplasia in which many genetic and epigenetic changes have been correlated to cancerous transformation of oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) such as oral leukoplakia, erythroplakia and lichen planus. The goal of the innovative salivary diagnostics is the identification of a single or multiple biomarkers that will serve as a cli…
Genomic Epidemiology of Salmonella Infantis in Ecuador: From Poultry Farms to Human Infections
2020
Salmonella enterica is one of the most important foodborne pathogens around the world. In the last years, S. enterica serovar Infantis has become an important emerging pathogen in many countries, often as multidrug resistant clones. To understand the importance of S. enterica in the broiler industry in Ecuador, we performed a study based on phenotypic and WGS data of isolates from poultry farms, chicken carcasses and humans. We showed a high prevalence of S. enterica in poultry farms (41.4%) and chicken carcasses (55.5%), but a low prevalence (1.98%) in human samples. S. Infantis was shown to be the most prevalent serovar with a 98.2, 97.8, and 50% in farms, foods, and humans, respectively,…
