A virtual reconfiguration of two destroyed neighborhoods in the Old Town of Palermo

2018

The proposed contribution deals with the topic of virtual three-dimensional reconstructions on an urban scale. The choice was oriented on significant samples of city portions that over the centuries have undergone substantial transformations or distortions: the aim is to reconstruct their history backwards, starting from the current survey and using the tools of virtual representation to reconfigure the forms of the past and tell their events. From here comes the idea to create, for pieces, a hypertextual study of the urban image of Palermo: the theme of the transformation of the city, of change and of complexity, opens up differentiated research paths. The hypertext choice was almost obvio…

Il restauro virtuale dei sistemi decorativi e studio ricostruttivo dell’insula

2018

Il presente contributo rientra nell’ambito di in una più vasta linea di ricerca denominata “Progetto Hierapolis Virtuale”, sviluppata a partire dal 2007 e finalizzata alla ricostruzione tridimensionale degli edifici della città. A differenza di altre ricerche condotte sui monumenti di Hierapolis, l’attuale studio riguarda solamente una singola fase edilizia dell’insula, relativa alla grande stagione monumentale di età protobizantina riferibile a un periodo posto tra il VI e la prima metà del VII secolo. Tale scelta è stata dettata unicamente dalla quantità e dalla qualità dei dati archeologici utili ad uno studio ricostruttivo il più possibile scientifico per contribuire ad una maggiore con…

Restitución 3D de las excavaciones realizadas por Lluis Pericot en Cueva de la Cocina (Dos Aguas, Valencia)

2017

Presentamos en esta comunicación el diseño y desarrollo del trabajo de virtualización 3D de las excavaciones en Cueva de la Cocina (Dos Aguas, Valencia) en el marco de un proyecto integral de invest igación cuyo objetivo es dar a conocer las dinámicas socio-ecológicas de los últimos caza-recolectores y el primer neolítico a partir de la lectura de la interesante secuencia proporcionada por este yacimiento (fig. 1). El proyecto contempla el diseño de un programa de trabajo que integra la información arqueo lógica de las diferentes intervenciones realizadas en el lugar en un entorno 3D (García Puchol et al., 2016). Los resultados ofrecidos corresponden a la reconstrucción de las campañas desa…

The assessment of multicultural strength: Design and validation of an Openness to the Other Affective Domain Inventory

2014

The classification of character strengths and virtues by Peterson and Seligman (2004) includes 24 strengths and 6 virtues. Although the development of this classification was inspired by diverse cultural traditions, no one strength or virtue centrally focused on cultural aspects. Fowers and Davidov (2006) have proposed a new multicultural strength or virtue termed as openness to the other. We developed the Openness to the Other Affective Domain Inventory (OADI), a new 6-item measurement instrument to assess affective attraction to the other, that is, fascination with or attraction to culturally diverse others, and affective aversion to the other, that is, distrust of or disgust with cultura…

Estudios sobre el liderazgo. Teorías y evaluación

2006

The present work has the objective to offer a theoretical-methodological approximation respect of the leadership’s phenomenon. By virtue of the fact that such phenomenon is understood as a complex and multiderminated construct, we will approach the different theoretical schools which have tried to explain it. Also, it is attempted to answer the question about the possibility to evaluate the mentioned construct. To answer this interrogation we will present the different methodologies employed in scientific research and their possible advantages and limitations of their application to the leadership’s evaluation.

Stochastic dynamic analysis of structures with fractional viscoelastic constitutive laws

The main purpose of this thesis is to provide a new way to correctly perform stochastic analysis of structures with viscoelastic constitutive law. The reason for this kind of problem relates the fact that structures with viscoelastic materials are built in many areas of mechanical, civil and aerospace engineering. To perform this kind of stochastic analysis there are two fundamental problems. That is, the mechanical description of the viscoelastic phenomenon, and the correct representation of the external loads. Both of these problems are addressed and solved by the proposed modeling that involves some advanced mathematical tools. The reason to describe materials as viscoelastic is given by…

Testing of a constitutive equation with free volume dependent relaxation spectrum

1979

A model of non-linear viscoelasticity with relaxation times dependent upon free volume is here proposed. The free volume is related to the isotropic part of the stress tensor by means of a simple differential equation. The model predictions are compared with a large amount of experimental results taken on polymeric melts or concentrated solutions and reported in the literature. The single parameter of the model is determined, within each set of data, by fitting of the viscosity curve. A satisfactory agreement is obtained with data taken under both elongation and shear for which also the relaxation behavior after single and double strain steps is considered.

Co-creating Urban Development: A Living Lab for Community Regeneration in the Second District of Palermo

2013

The characterisation of urban ‘smartness’ emerges as a product of social mobilisation, which marks the pathway towards collective technology adoption and policy innovation. This paper highlights the didactic and critical aspects that relate to the use of participatory solutions – namely the electronic Town Meeting and others, such as weblogs and the “Planning for Real” scheme – which start within the dimension of social animation and serious gaming and are only later oriented to urban planning. The Palermo pilot of the PARTERRE ICT-PSP project, based on the Territorial Living Lab approach, documents one possible transition from the stage of a free relationship with scenarios and visions, to…

Ética desde la resistencia: el compromiso político de Vicente Aguilera Cerni

2016

Este artículo se acerca al trabajo del crítico de arte español Vicente Aguilera Cerni (Valencia, 1920-2005), y analiza su compromiso político con el pensamiento de izquierda a lo largo de su vida.

La arquitectura de la portada y retablos de San Miguel Arcángel de Burjassot. Reflejo de los modelos figurativos de A. Pozzo

2005

Friar-architects carried out important projects in the Valencia area. These monks, who combined architectural with spiritual labors, accomplished works in which they knew how to combine tradition with new architectural tendencies. The church of St. Michael Archangel of Burjassot by Friar Francisco de Santa Bárbara, provides the chance to study this constructive phenomenon in relation to its doorway and twin altarpieces at the crossing. Without doubt, these structures demonstrate the direct influence of the Jesuit Andrea Pozzo's treatise <i>Perspectiva Pictorum et Architectorum</i> (1693-1700), which had a broad repercussion in the Valencia region.<br><br>La actividad…
