Design d'un iprodione-MIP (molecularly imprinted polymer) : application à la pré-concentration des fongicides dans le vin

2014

The aim of this study was the synthesis of a MIP (molecularly imprinted polymer) specific for a fungicide that is found in the majority of the french wine: iprodione. The challenge for extracting iprodione from wine medium was that the hydoralcoholic solution is a dipolar solvent, whereas the interaction between the MIP and iprodione is based on dipolar interactions. The first extraction study of iprodione was made on a MIP synthesized by bulk polymerization using methacrylamide and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA). The MIP was found to be more efficient than the NIP (non-imprinted polymer) in hydroalcoholic solutions which demonstrates that the molecular imprinting was successful. Th…

VERSO UN’ARCHITETTURA RESPONSABILE ED ADATTIVA

2022

L’intento è quello di analizzare le affinità e differenze che contribuiscono il passaggio concettuale per gestire la complessità del progetto tecnologico attraverso le sue realizzazioni di nuova concezione, che ad oggi dovranno esser ripensate nel loro atto realizzativo con le conseguenti ricadute responsabili verso l’ambiente ed il territorio. A tal proposito è risultato utile introdurre la “Direttiva Europea 85/384” con i suoi undici punti che delinea la figura dell’architetto. Il progettista dovrà esser una figura consapevole di un sapere trasversale fondato su ‘conoscenze’ e ‘capacità’ ormai dedite al risparmio delle risorse e lontano dalla velleità da palcoscenico. The intent is to ana…

Innovative Tools for Sound Sketching Combining Vocalizations and Gestures

2016

International audience; Designers are used to produce a variety of physical and digital representations at different stages of the design process. These intermediary objects (IOs) do support the externalization of ideas and the mediation with the different stakeholders. In the same manner, sound designers deliver several intermediate sounds to their clients, through iteration and refinement. In fact, these preliminary sounds are sound sketches representing the intermediate steps of an evolving creation. In this paper we reflect on the method of sketching sounds through vocalizations and gestures, and how a technological support, grounded in the understanding of the design practice, can fost…

Organizing a sonic space through vocal imitations

2016

A two-dimensional space is proposed for exploration and interactive design in the sonic space of a sound model. A number of reference items, positioned as landmarks in the space, contain both a synthetic sound and its vocal imitation, and the space is geometrically arranged based on the acoustic features of these imitations. The designer may specify new points in the space either by geometric interpolation or by direct vocalization. In order to understand how the vast and complex space of the human voice could be organized in two dimensions, we collected a database of short excerpts of vocal imitations. By clustering the sound samples on a space whose dimensionality has been reduced to the …

Sounding objects in Europe

2014

Sound design has been shifting and enlarging its scope to those contexts and applications where interactivity is of primary importance. A chain of research projects funded by the European Commission has been playing a driving role in the definition of the new discipline of sonic interaction design. Such projects are briefly reviewed in order to outline a research thread that is expected to continue nourishing sound science and design.

Bill2d - a software package for classical two-dimensional Hamiltonian systems

2015

Abstract We present Bill2d , a modern and efficient C++ package for classical simulations of two-dimensional Hamiltonian systems. Bill2d can be used for various billiard and diffusion problems with one or more charged particles with interactions, different external potentials, an external magnetic field, periodic and open boundaries, etc. The software package can also calculate many key quantities in complex systems such as Poincare sections, survival probabilities, and diffusion coefficients. While aiming at a large class of applicable systems, the code also strives for ease-of-use, efficiency, and modularity for the implementation of additional features. The package comes along with a use…

Manifesto del design meridiano

2021

Utopian - First, let's get it out of our heads that there are no alternatives; rather, let's start dreaming and imagining a different world. At the basis of every change, in fact, there is a vision - the conditio sine qua non of design (project) - which becomes reality when we move from idea to action. However, the world does not always change as someone would like to design it. In fact, it almost never happens. More often, major changes are the direct or indirect consequence of technical advances that are initially irrelevant and then prove to be socially overwhelming. The germ of change, for example, may be contained in one pill, or perhaps two: the birth control pill and the power pill.

From This Side of Pyrenees: An Overview of Autoethnography in Spain

2022

In recent years, we have witnessed a growing interest in autoethnography in Spain. However, the visibility of Spanish autoethnography within and beyond our borders continues to be limited. In this article, I have examined autoethnographic texts written by Spanish authors for the first time. I based this examination on a traditional bibliographic review of texts published in Spanish and English up to 2020. I organized texts according to my proposal for three stages of the development of Spanish autoethnography: its emergence, its dissemination from anthropology to other academic fields, and its consolidation and diversification. In these, I address the description of the content, the discipl…
