L’inedito antependium d’argento di Salvatore Castronovo a San Mauro Castelverde
2021
Tra i diversi e ricchi Tesori siciliani, indagati a partire dagli anni Trenta del secolo scorso da Maria Accascina, si inserisce quello, pressoché inedito, di San Mauro Castelverde. A conclusione del processo di rinnovamento stilistico che interessò la chiesa di san Mauro del centro madonita nel corso del XVIII secolo, venne commissionato, nel 1778, l’inedito paliotto architettonico in argento, con la figura del Patrono al centro, oggetto di questo studio One of the many rich Sicilian treasures investigated since the 1930s by Maria Accascina is the almost unpublished altarpiece from San Mauro Castelverde. At the end of the process of stylistic renovation that affected the church of San Maur…
Il monastero e la chiesa del Carmine Maggiore di Palermo: gli argenti sacri
2019
Il saggio esamina la statua lignea rivestita in lamine d’argento della Madonna del Carmelo e alcune suppellettili liturgiche custodite nella chiesa del Carmine Maggiore di Palermo. Si tratta di opere realizzate da artisti siciliani tra il Settecento e l’Ottocento. Collocato nell’antico mercato storico di Ballarò, la chiesa, con annesso convento dei PP. Carmelitani, custodisce opere che testimoniano la raffinata committenza dell’Ordine. Tra queste le tavole dello smembrato polittico in cui vi lavorarono Pietro Ruzzolone e Antonello Crescenzo , la Madonna del Carmelo firmata dal pittore Tommaso De Vigilia e altre opere eseguite da Antonello Gagini, Pietro Novelli, Giacomo e Giuseppe Serpotta.…
Design and development of a Java-based graphical user interface to monitor/control a meteorological real-time forecasting system
2010
A regional forecasting system based on the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) is being run at the CEAM Foundation. The operational model involves several processes running in the background at specified times and executing a set of systematic steps. This system is being used as a support for a heat-wave warning system, a wind forecasting system for fire warning and prevention, and for general forecasting tasks. However, it is relatively difficult to use by researchers and forecasters without sophisticated information technology (IT) skill. In this paper, we report an effort to develop a tool to facilitate the monitoring of the system. This tool is based on the client-server archite…
Inspiration, interaction, efficiency and simplicity : 4 values that can be mobilized in store to improve the customer experience
2020
The development of e-commerce is both a source of unprecedented competition for physical stores but also an opportunity to think about their commercial proposition. Creating a unique and memorable experience for their customers has become the major challenge for retailers today. Based on a literature review and customer interviews, this paper suggests four major values of shopping experience -simplicity, efficiency, inspiration and interaction -and their variations. Implications and guidelines are address to retailers willing to develop easily their experience offer.
Automatische Anästhesieprotokollsysteme
1997
The introduction of electronic anaesthesia documentation systems was attempted as early as in 1979, although their efficient application has become reality only in the past few years. The advantages of the electronic protocol are apparent: Continuous high quality documentation, comparability of data due to the availability of a data bank, reduction in the workload of the anaesthetist and availability of additional data. Disadvantages of the electronic protocol have also been discussed in the literature. By going through the process of entering data on the course of the anaesthetic procedure on the protocol sheet, the information is mentally absorbed and evaluated by the anaesthetist. This i…
PATRONAGE E CLIENTELISMO: UNA RILETTURA
2015
Nel lessico colloquiale il termine patronage – tradotto in italiano esclusivamente, e spesso equivocamente, come “padronato” o “padronaggio”, cioè come potere di disposizione fondato sull’asimmetrico “dominio patrimoniale” esercitato da qualcuno su qualcun’altro o sulla possibilità di esercitare la “protezione” di qualcuno da parte di qualcun altro – assume in realtà molti significati, spesso in funzione dell’orientamento valoriale che se ne vuole attribuire. Così, può significare appoggio, protezione o favore; ma anche, nella forma declinatasi nel rinascimento italiano, “mecenatismo”; o, ancora, e in senso dispregiativo, favoritismo, che rinvia ad un sistema di clientelismo basato, ad esem…
Value co-creation and satisfaction in b2b context: a triadic study in the furniture industry
2020
Research on Value co-Creation (VcC) has been more extensive in B2C (business-to-consumer) than in B2B (business-to-business) and mainly for service contexts, under dyadic approaches (supplier&ndash
A Distributed approach to the Remote Control and Programming Improvement
2006
The remote control of industrial plants through networks is becoming very important nowadays but it involves several issues that can degrade the performance and usability of the remote plant. This paper presents a distributed architecture improving a remote programming system which allows users to control and to program a plant remotely. The control system is based on a client/server architecture with many user interfaces that control the plant. The remote programming language is a mix of Java and client/server protocol in order to simplify the developing and to avoid the protocol/language translation. In order to obtain more efficiency, the program is developed in the client side and it is…
Effect of partner–agent model practice on microinsurance client value: Insight from microfinance institutions in Tanzania
2018
In absence of formal microinsurance to protect low-income people against natural and man-made disasters, the partnership between insurance companies and microfinance institutions (MFIs), also known as the Partner–Agent Model (PAM), is gaining global recognition from governments, practitioners, and donors for its potential role to deliver microinsurance. Although the model is still nascent in Tanzania, it has significantly increased microinsurance outreach. However, while the microinsurance landscape has been extensively studied, the effect of PAM practice on mandatory microinsurance client value has not received much attention. Therefore, this study examines how the PAM practice affects mic…
A Java 3D Talking Head for a Chatbot
2008
Facial animation is referred to all those systems per- forming the speech synchronization with an animated face model. This kind of systems are called ”Talking Head” or ”Talking Face”. In this paper a Talking Head oriented to the creation of a Chatbot is presented. It requires an in- put query and an answer is generated in form of text. The answer is transduced into a facial animation using a 3D face model whose lips movements are synchronized with the sound produced by a speech synthesis module. Our ”Talk- ing Head” explores the naturalness of the facial animation and provides a real-time interactive interface to the user. The WEB infrastructure has been realized using the Client- Server m…
