THE BIA VECTOR IN OBESITY AND DIABETES

2013

Although the assessment of body water compartments is of great diagnostic value, appropriate methods are not readily available for routinely clinical application. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a safe, noninvasive, rapid and highly reproducible procedure that is strongly influenced by body water and intra-/extracellular distribution. Four-hundred-fifty-six adults (224 males and 232 females) were enrolled and divided in subgroups on the basis of the presence of obesity and diabetes (type 1 and type 2). The aim of the study was to investigate if different BIA measurements in terms of resistance (R), reactance (Xc) and phase angle (PA) were associated to these conditions. Plotting t…

Exemple du projet Arena Naterre

2014

L’article traite de façon technique le travail réalisé sur le projet Arena Nanterre (projet de Christian de Portzamparc) à Paris dans le cadre d’une mission de BIM (Building Information Model). Notre engagement était d’aider tous les intervenants à concevoir et construire autrement le bâtiment grâce à la maquette numérique. Celle-ci a évolué et a été mise à jour tout au long des études pour permettre, d’un côté, un partage réel et instantané des informations et, de l’autre, une optimisation du projet en termes techniques, économiques ou encore de gestion. L’organisation mise en place a permis de créer une plateforme collaborative dans laquelle nous étions en charge de la gestion BIM de tout…

Building integrated solar thermal design: assessment of performances of a low cost solar wall in a typical Italian building

2016

Abstract Present work deals with the topic of building integration of solar thermal collector (BIST) as a refurbishment measure. Such equipment, more than its main function as heating generator, plays a specific role as a building component (envelope finishes, thermal insulation layer, roof cover etc). Consequently, from a heat transfer point of view, an integrated component affects twice the global building balance: supporting the thermal plant (i.e. providing heat for final uses) and modifying the wall heat-transfer pattern (i.e. reducing thermal losses). In turn, the collector performance itself is influenced by the wall structure (back losses reduction). Present work proposes a method f…

Il travertino nella costruzione muraria ad Alcamo

2022

This study describes construction features typical of masonry buildings in the historic centre of Alcamo, Sicily. This local context is significant for the extent of the historic building stock and for the large use of travertine as traditional masonry material. The local availability of this rock is a peculiarity of Alcamo, in comparison with the rest of Sicily, and its use explains the originality of several construction details. The analysis exposed in this study is part of a wider research, aimed at developing a Sicilian database of mechanical and hygrothermal data for masonry tipologies. The historic tonewalls of Alcamo have been described by means of four masonry categories, whose mai…

Static Performances of Timber- and Bamboo-Concrete Composite Beams: A Critical Review of Experimental Results

2021

The use of composite beams made with traditional concrete and bio-based materials (such as timber and bamboo) is a valuable solution to reduce the environmental impact of the building sector. Timber-Concrete Composite (TCC) beams have been used for decades in structural applications such as new buildings, refurbishment of old timber structures, and bridges. Recently, different researchers suggested composite beams based on engineered bamboo, commonly named Bamboo-Concrete Composite (BCC) beams. This study presents a systematic comparison of structural performances and connection behavior of TCC and BCC beams under short-term static load. TCCs beams are compared to BCC ones using similar she…
