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…
Multidisciplinary Approaches to Study Ancient Cities in a Seismic Region
2022
The paper focuses on the strong connections between natural resources, environment, and urban development in the Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine city of Hierapolis of Phrygia (Pamukkale, Turkey). The ancient city was founded on a travertine terrace crossed by an active fault, responsible for impressive geothermal phenomena, i.e., flowing of thermal water, emission of gases, and frequent earthquakes, while the surrounding territory offered various stone qualities (travertine, alabaster, marbles, etc.). These environmental features affected the cultural identity of Hierapolis and its urban layout, conditioning also the construction techniques and the monumentalization of the city. In recent…
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…
Rice protoplasts isolated directly from mature-embryo-derived calli
1996
Mature-embryo-derived calli of japonica rice (Oryza sativa L) Taipei 309 were used for replicated protoplast isolation experiments. Six out of nine callus lines produced protoplasts with satisfactory yield of 5.20×106–8.96×106 protoplasts/g FW (fresh weight). The remaining three callus lines initiated from seeds of cryopreserved-callus-derived plants had rooty calli, resulting in low yield of protoplasts and a large number of isolated banana-shape intact cells. Viability of protoplasts ranged 87.46%–94.15%. The average size of protoplasts was 207.49–379.04 μm2 in different callus lines. Comparitive experiments were also carried out using both calli and suspension culture cells for protoplas…
Robust Ergonomic Virtual Design
2009
Since early development phases of a new industrial product, realistic simulations can be performed in virtual environment to study the human-machine interaction. In a virtual lab it is possible to make experiments to assess the ergonomics of the new product with manikins simulating the human body, and dealing with the problem of anthropometrical variation. Although such sophisticated tools are available, there is still need of a methodo-logical framework aimed at efficiently organizing the experiments in virtual lab. This paper provides an overview of the Robust Ergonomic Virtual Design (REVD), a methodology developed by the authors in the course of the last years. It allows obtaining produ…
Riflessioni e traiettorie di ricerca interdisciplinari sulla transizione digitale
2022
The contribution introduces the topic covered by vol. 12 of AGATHÓN through essays, studies, research and projects on Innovability©® | Digital Transition to investigate the current widespread transformation that unites dichotomies (analogue and digital), enhances oxymorons (artificial intelligence), creates paradoxes (materiality of the intangible), while indiscriminately involving architecture, humanities and social sciences, anthropology, sociology, ecology, biology, physical-mathematical sciences and neurosciences, with impacts that – while already visible today and accelerated in part by the extraordinary global health emergency – will become even more evident in the medium and long ter…

Promuovere negli uomini la scelta di prepararsi all’esercizio della professione di maestro di scuola primaria
2022
The sixth principle of the Charte de la Ligue Internationale de l’Education Nouvelle of 1921 emphasizes the concept of coeducation. The definition of this concept provides interesting insights to launch a proactive debate on the need to increase the male presence in primary school teaching staff. First of all, some results of empir- ical research that support the request to increase the number of male teachers in the primary school are displayed. Secondly, the most significant measures adopted by some States to promote the figure of the male primary school teacher are described. Finally, a few proposals are made on what could be done in Italy.
Riflessi dell'etnomusicologia in Sicilia: la "Due canzoni natalizie etnee trascritte dalla memoria per 11 strumenti" (1982-83) di Francesco Pennisi
2022
The text starts from some reflections on ethnomusicological research in Sicily and on the relationship between cultured composers and music of oral tradition. In particular, the genesis and compositional structure of the "Two Etna Christmas Songs transcribed from memory" of 1982-83 is reconstructed.
