"VIVI" Opere di Massimo Palumbo
2013
In occasione della Mostra, a cura di Cristina Costanzo, “VIVI” Opere di Massimo Palumbo - promossa dalla Presidenza del Consiglio Comunale di Palermo e dall'Assessorato alla Cultura di Palermo e ospitata presso i Cantieri Culturali alla Zisa di Palermo - viene presentato l’omonimo catalogo, pubblicato da Palladino Editore. Il catalogo “VIVI” Opere di Massimo Palumbo si offre come guida all’esposizione e utile strumento scientifico per la lettura del lavoro dell’artista. Il catalogo, a cura di Cristina Costanzo, si avvale dei contributi critici di Marcella Cossu, Cristina Costanzo e Massimo Palumbo. Massimo Palumbo presenta nella sede dei Cantieri Culturali alla Zisa, oggi al centro di un am…
Stiffer, Stronger and Centrosymmetrical Class of Pentamodal Mechanical Metamaterials
2019
Pentamode metamaterials have been used as a crucial element to achieve elastical unfeelability cloaking devices. They are seen as potentially fragile and not simple for integration in anisotropic structures due to a non-centrosymmetric crystalline structure. Here, we introduce a new class of pentamode metamaterial with centrosymmetry, which shows better performances regarding stiffness, toughness, stability and size dependence. The phonon band structure is calculated based on the finite element method, and the pentamodal properties are evaluated by analyzing the single band gap and the ratio of bulk and shear modulus.

Are AuPdTM (T = Sc, Y and M = Al, Ga, In), Heusler Compounds Superconductors without Inversion Symmetry?
2019
Heusler compounds with 2:1:1 stoichiometry either have a centrosymmetric Cu 2 MnAl structure or an Li 2 AgSb structure without a centre of inversion. The centrosymmetry is always lost in quaternary Heusler compounds with 1:1:1:1 stoichiometry and LiMgPdSn structure. This presents the possibility of realizing non-centrosymmetric superconductors in the family of Heusler compounds. The objective of this study is to search for and investigate such quaternary derivatives of Heusler compounds, particularly with respect to superconductivity. Several compounds were identified by carrying out calculations from first principles and superconductivity was observed in experiments conducted on AuPdScAl a…
Evolution towards centrosymmetry of the nonlinear-optical materialRbTiOPO4in the temperature range 293–973 K: Alkaline displacements and titanyl defo…
1998
The crystal structure of rubidium titanyl phosphate, ${\mathrm{RbTiOPO}}_{4}$ (space group ${\mathrm{Pna}2}_{1}$), has been refined at room temperature, and at 473, 673, 873, and 973 K, by using single-crystal x-ray-diffraction techniques. The data show a large anharmonic motion of the rubidium ions increasing with temperature. To describe the importance of this motion in the phase-transition procedure and in the ionic conductivity phenomenon, two models are developed. The study of the deviation to the centrosymmetric structure (space group Pnan) shows that the change towards centrosymmetry of the titanyl groups correlates directly with the observed variation of the second-harmonic generati…
Revista electrónica de investigación y evaluación educativa
2018
Prevenir la deserción escolar requiere de un trabajo interprofesional que aborde de manera coordinada los múltiples factores individuales, escolares y estructurales que llevan a un joven a dejar la escolarización formal. Este estudio examina la configuración del trabajo interprofesional que se diseña e implementa en dos Departamentos Municipales de Educación en Chile para abordar la inasistencia y deserción de estudiantes en la educación secundaria creciendo en situación de vulnerabilidad social. Los datos fueron producidos a través de entrevistas en profundidad con la participación de 63 personas, incluyendo a profesionales, apoderados y estudiantes. El modelo del primer caso está orienta…
Los Centros de Internamiento Españoles para Adolescentes en Conflicto con la Ley: Principio de Resocialización desde la Perspectiva del Trabajo Social
2014
A pesar que la medida de privación de libertad exige una atención especial por ser la más restrictiva de derechos y dirigirse a uno de los colectivos de mayor vulnerabilidad, los menores de edad, son escasos los estudios sobre estos centros. Los centros de internamiento de medidas judiciales en España donde los adolescentes en conflicto con la ley cumplen una medida privativa de libertad no poseen un único registro donde localizarlos, son de difícil acceso y existen escasos estudios sobre ellos. En este estudio se visualizan y mapifican los recursos actuales para ejecutar la privación de libertad de menores de edad en relación al principio de resocialización que marca la Ley Orgánica 5/2000…

Allozyme Similarity in Two Morphologically Distinguishable Populations ofParacentrotus Lividus(Echinodermata) From Distinct Areas of the Mediterranea…
1998
Allozymes ofParacentrotus lividusfrom Palermo Gulf in the northern Sicilian coast (Italy) and from a small body-size population in the western Greek coast (Ionian Sea) were investigated by PAGE. Five of the twenty examined loci were polymorphic(AAT*, ADH*, ME*, PGI*andPGM*)over each population with a polymorphism value of 0–25. Average heterozygosity was equal to 0081 in the Sicilian sample and 0084 in the Greek. Deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were significant inME*andPGI*loci (as calculated byy).Nei's (1978) genetic distance (D=0–0025) index described a close identity between the two samples. FSTvalue of polymorphic loci ranged from 0001 to 0029, its mean value (0–008) resultin…
Macroalgal assemblage type affects predation pressure on sea urchins by altering adhesion strength.
2010
In the Mediterranean, sea breams are the most effective Paracentrotus lividus and Arbacia lixula predators. Generally, seabreams dislodge adult urchins from the rocky substrate, turn them upside down and crush their tests. Sea urchins may respond to fish attacks clinging tenaciously to the substratum. This study is the first attempt to investigate sea urchin adhesion strength in two alternative algal assemblages of the rocky infralittoral and valuated its possible implication for fish predation. We hypothesized that (1) sea urchin adhesion strength is higher in rocky shores dominated by encrusting macro-algae (ECA) than in erected macro algae (EMA); (2) predation rates upon sea urchins are …
Hydrodynamism and its influence on the reproductive condition of the edible sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus
2013
Despite the large body of work published in the last two decades on the reproduction of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus, the reproductive aspects linked to hydrodynamic conditions and their influence on gonad production remain poorly understood. The present paper aims to evaluate the effect of hydrodynamism on the reproductive cycle of P. lividus. Variability in the gonadosomatic index (GSI) of P. lividus was estimated seasonally from 2007 to 2008 at two shallow sub-littoral flat basaltic areas at Ustica Island (Western Mediterranean). GSI was higher in the sites characterized by low hydrodynamism than in those with high hydrodynamism. Results also suggest a possible role for hydrodyna…
