Expert appraisal of criteria for assessing gaming disorder: An international Delphi study
2021
Background and aims Following the recognition of ‘internet gaming disorder’ (IGD) as a condition requiring further study by the DSM‐5, ‘gaming disorder’ (GD) was officially included as a diagnostic entity by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the eleventh revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD‐11). However, the proposed diagnostic criteria for gaming disorder remain the subject of debate, and there has been no systematic attempt to integrate the views of different groups of experts. To achieve a more systematic agreement on this new disorder, this study employed the Delphi expert consensus method to obtain expert agreement on the diagnostic validity, clinical util…

Intrecci preziosi Arti Decorative Siciliane a Malta 1565-1798
2016
Il volume indaga opere e artisti siciliani quasi totalmente inediti attivi sull'Isola dei Cavalieri nel periodo compreso tra il 1565, anno della fondazione di La Valletta, e il 1798, allorché Malta fu conquistata da Napoleone Bonaparte. Interessanti figure di orafi e argentieri emerse da un’approfondita ricerca archivistica, e superbi manufatti quali argenti, coralli, alabastri, avori e ceroplastiche parte di collezioni pubbliche e private maltesi vengono studiati in relazione al più ampio contesto riguardante gli scambi artistici e culturali tra le due isole del Mediterraneo. The book deals with Sicilian artifacts and artists almost entirely unpublished active on the Island of Knights in t…
Digital Soil Mapping in the Irish Soil Information System
2009
Harmonised soil data across Europe with a 1:250 000 geo-referenced soil database will allow for exchange of data across member states and the provide the information needed by the European Commission and European Environment Agency for reporting on issues relating to soil quality under a fu-ture Soil Framework Directive. Within this context, the Environmental Protection Agency of the Republic of Ireland commissioned a project run by Teagasc to produce a 1:250 000 soil map of the Republic of Ire-land. Delivery of this map and associated database is a collaborative effort between Teagasc, the National Soil Resources Institute at Cranfield in the UK and University College Dublin. Environmental…
THERMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERIZATION OF A LANDFILL TROUGH AN UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE
2019
The use of the thermal imaging camera for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) survey is to date very common for environmental analysis, especially if high spatial resolution images are required. Some analyses require images to be acquired close to sunrise, to avoid the influence of the incident solar radiation on the surface temperature, as in the case of a landfill survey. Indeed, thermal anomalies due to generated landfill biogas can be characterized once other heat sources are excluded. In this framework, thermal images need to be processed similarly to optical images by typical photogrammetric workflows producing both a Digital Surface Model (DSM) and an ortho-image. The low spatial resolutio…

UAV Systems for Photogrammetric Data Acquisition of Archaeological Sites
2012
The use of UAV systems for surveying archaeological sites is becoming progressively more common due to the considerable potential in terms of rapidity of survey, costs and accuracy. The paper presents the first results of the photogrammetric survey of the archaeological site of Himera in Sicily (Italy) using by UAV systems. A complete documentation of the site through the production of a DSM and an ortho image were carried out. The research further evaluated two different image processing workflows: a typical photogrammetric approach and a computer vision approach. An ortho image of the archaeological site with a very high resolution was obtained. Dept. of Civil, Environmental, Aerospace an…
Ostensori architettonici in Sicilia tra suggestioni iberiche e rinascimentali
2022
Through the analysis of six architectural monstrances housed in churches and museums in Sicily, the formal and compositional languages that, between Iberian and Renaissance suggestions, characterize these masterpieces of sacred art are analyzed. They are small silver architectures, produced between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, which are influenced by the Catalan Gothic influences and the Italian Renaissance, in a peculiar Sicilian synthesis.
Understanding Addiction Using Animal Models
2019
Drug addiction is a neuropsychiatric disorder with grave personal consequences that has an extraordinary global economic impact. Despite decades of research, the options available to treat addiction are often ineffective because our rudimentary understanding of drug-induced pathology in brain circuits and synaptic physiology inhibits the rational design of successful therapies. This understanding will arise first from animal models of addiction where experimentation at the level of circuits and molecular biology is possible. We will review the most common preclinical models of addictive behavior and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each. This includes non-contingent models in whi…
