The Heart of the City: Temporary Experience in Architecture

2022

The rapid and profound transformation to which the city is subjected leads to the urgency of restarting a debate on the relationship between habitat and public space in order to provide the community with answers to guide the choices of future urban transformations and redevelopments. This debate - widely investigated during the second half of the 20th century, with an approach aimed at the potential of public space in terms of connection, interaction and exchange with the community - has given rise to new projects open to the unexpected and capable of triggering creative processes, formal or informal, in urban contexts that are often disused. In the last decades, issues related to social i…

Alla base del processo: scientificità del progetto e attualità dei fondamenti teorici

2020

Di fronte a kaos e kosmos, ordine e disordine, teorizzazione generale e pensiero “debole”, modernità, postmodernità, surmodernità… l'uomo oggi non è in grado di formarsi un'opinione assoluta su nulla. Fare una scelta può creare problemi, forse anche disperazione, essere costretti a optare per più scelte conseguenti, come accade nel processo progettuale, può diventare davvero un dramma insolubile. Considerati questi aspetti, riteniamo sia necessario soffermarsi per fare alcune considerazioni (anche se relative e parziali) sulla disciplina, sui suoi fondamenti scientifici e sulla loro effettiva concretizzazione nel progetto architettonico. Possibili considerazioni sui fondamenti dell'architet…

Terahertz electrical writing speed in an antiferromagnetic memory

2018

The speed of writing of state-of-the-art ferromagnetic memories is physically limited by an intrinsic gigahertz threshold. Recently, realization of memory devices based on antiferromagnets, in which spin directions periodically alternate from one atomic lattice site to the next has moved research in an alternative direction. We experimentally demonstrate at room temperature that the speed of reversible electrical writing in a memory device can be scaled up to terahertz using an antiferromagnet. A current-induced spin-torque mechanism is responsible for the switching in our memory devices throughout the 12-order-of-magnitude range of writing speeds from hertz to terahertz. Our work opens the…

Terracruda in Sicilia: dal Patrimonio Architettonico alle potenzialità contemporanee

2013

La terra cruda in Sicilia si collega ad una continuità tecnologica comune all'intera area mediterranea. Fino a pochi anni fa, si conoscevano soltanto i mattoni crudi in contesti archeologici, databili fino all'età ellenistica. Alcuni recenti studi hanno confermato l'esistenza di questa tecnica costruttiva in età moderna a Cefalu', nella costa settentrionale della Sicilia. Anche se quasi evanescenti queste tracce possono dar forza all'idea di attualizzare la terra cruda nella contemporanea produzione edilizia siciliana. Earth architectures in Sicily can be linked to a technological continuity common to the whole Mediterranean basin. Until few years ago, we knew only examples of adobe buildin…

Industrial Scaled Automated Structural Testing with the Evolutionary Testing Tool

2010

Evolutionary testing has been researched and promising results have been presented. However, evolutionary testing has remained predominately a research-based activity not practiced within industry. Although attempts have been made, such as Daimler's Evolutionary Structural Test (EST) prototype, until now, no such tool has been suitable for industrial adoption. The European project EvoTest (IST-33472) team has been working from 2006 till2009 to improve this situation. This paper describes the final version of the Evolutionary Testing Framework (ETF) resulting from the EvoTest project. In specific we will present the EvoTest Structural Testing tool for fully automatic structural testing that …

Acceptability of dual HIV/syphilis rapid test in community- and home-based testing strategy among transgender women in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

2021

Background: Little is known of acceptability and feasibility of dual HIV and syphilis rapid tests in community- and home-based provider-initiated strategies among transgender women (TGW), in Latin America. Objectives were (1) to assess the acceptability of this strategy and, (2) to determine the percentage of positive results of HIV and syphilis, analyze the correlates of HIV or syphilis positive results, and measure the rates of effective referral and treatment completion among TGW. Methods: A multidisciplinary team tested 89 TGW in Buenos Aires. An acceptability survey was administered after the HIV/syphilis Duo test was used. All confirmed cases were referred for treatment initiation. R…
