On the slabbing of stones throughdiamond wire cutting
2010
Diamond wires are usually used in the cutting operations aimed to obtain slabs of stones. This tool consists of a steel cable on which are mounted annular metal–diamond pearls. The use of this technology expanded all over the world because of its advantages on other slabbing techniques as both technical and economical aspects are considered. It should be observed that with this technology wear phenomena must be properly monitored in order to obtain the best process conditions. Inthis article, thediamondwire cutting operation is investigated, highlighting the process mechanics and the wear phenomena occurring in the used tools. Furthermore, a modified version of the tool itself is proposed w…
Stealth dicing with Bessel beams and beyond
2016
In the context of laser cutting of transparent materials, we investigate glass cleaving with Bessel beams and report that a modification of the beam with 3 main lobes drastically enhances cleavability and reduces defects.

Useita pallopelejä luonnehtivat erilaiset nopeat suunnanmuutokset sekä äkilliset kiihdytykset, mitkä altistavat etenkin nuoria urheilijoita akuuteille alaraajavammoille. Aiempien tutkimusten valossa on esitetty, että jalkaterän laskeutumistekniikka saattaisi olla yhteydessä vammariskiin sekä erityyppisiin juoksuvammoihin. Hyvin vähän tiedetään kuitenkin jalkaterän laskeutumistekniikan yhteyksistä alaraajojen kinematiikkaan erityisesti nopeiden suunnanmuutosten aikana. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, onko nopeiden suunnanmuutosten yhteydessä esiintyvällä jalkaterän laskeutumistekniikalla yhteys nuorten palloilijoiden akuutteihin, ilman suoraa kontaktia, tapahtuneisiin nilkan- …
Quando Gilgameš taglia i “cedri”. Gli alberi nell’immaginario mitologico mesopotamico
2021
In the Sumerian and Akkadian mythological literature, the ruler of the city of Uruk, Gilgameš, uproots and/or cuts down trees on several occasions: the ḫalub-tree (mahaleb cherry) linked to the goddess Inanna and the eren (juniper)/erēnu (cedar) trees of the Forest guarded by Ḫuwawa. These trees should be understood as elements of a wider "wilderness", with which they share a powerful and ambiguous ontological otherness, as opposed to the city and the country of Sumer. In order to become useful, this otherness must be conducted in the city and subject to processes of organization. This article illustrates the symbolic implications of the uprooting, cutting down and subsequent transport of t…
