Using an Object-Oriented Approach for Scalable Flexibility in Manufacturing
2012
In this paper, it is briefly explained how to configure the different resource modules that actually control the tasks of the physical device and put together a work cell consisting of other FMS resources. Finally, an example on building a workcell using a hierarchical approach is presented.
General and flexible methodology and architecture for CAPP: GF-CAPP system
2003
Although all researchers insist on the need to develop computer-aided process planning (CAPP) systems, they agree that one of its most significant shortfalls is the low level of generality and flexibility present in current proposals. One of the outcomes of this low level of generality--apart from its limited application domain--is the low level of integration achieved with CAD, CAM and PP&C systems. To ensure optimized running of the production system, it is also important to stress the need to develop alternative process planning that enables it to adapt to disruptions in production. Several factors play an important role in implementing these features, among which the following may be hi…
Life-Cycle Costing Decision-Making Methodology and Urban Intersection Design: Modelling and Analysis for a Circular City
2021
The importance of being circular reflects one of the key concepts of the life-cycle thinking that promotes the sustainable production of goods and services. If it is true that the analysis of the product life-cycle is fundamental to optimize the use of resources and to plan for the future reduction of adverse effects on urban environment, it is also true that there are still several barriers covering conceptual and practical issues which hinder the building of shared approaches for the economic evaluation of infrastructure projects. The chapter presents a case study where the Life-Cycle Cost methodology is used to compare three alternative intersection projects based on their total life-cyc…
Impacto de la enfermedad de Huntington en la familia
2012
Se describen las alteraciones estructurales y emocionales de las familias con uno o más miembros enfermos de Huntington, en función de los diferentes síntomas, del afectado (descendientes, progenitores) y de las diferentes etapas. Consideramos que los servicios de ayuda a la familia deben estar compuestos por profesionales expertos en las necesidades específicas de esta enfermedad y que deben ayudar a planificar y diseñar las ayudas de manera individual, adecuada y flexible. Esta ayuda debe centrarse en superar el impacto de la enfermedad, en proporcionar información relevante, en buscar soluciones prácticas, en dar apoyo emocional, en diseñar los cuidados necesarios en cada caso y etapa, y…
Francesco Fichera e il Palazzo delle Poste per Noto: studio grafico su un edificio mai realizzato
2022
Si può parlare di dialogo in architettura? Il disegno può essere considerato come la traduzione in forma grafica dei rapporti dialogici in architettura e tra architettura e città? Con questo scritto si tenterà si rispondere ai due quesiti appena formulati attraverso lo studio del caso di un edificio non realizzato dell’architetto catanese Francesco Fichera (1881-1950) per la città emblema del barocco siciliano, Noto: il Palazzo delle Poste e Casa Littoria nella centralissima piazza del Municipio. L’approfondimento sulla documentazione progettuale ritrovata e la successiva fase di ridisegno critico restituiscono una possibile chiave di lettura su un metodo compositivo fortemente ancorato a r…
Metamodeling editor as a front end tool for a CASE shell
1992
Customizable Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools, often called CASE shells, are penetrating in the market. CASE shells provide a flexible environment to support a variety of information systems development methods. CASE shells are often cumbersome to use and in practice few people can model and implement methods in them. To overcome these problems we have developed a graphical metamodeling environment called MetaEdit and a method modeling interface to the CASE shell RAMATIC. Using this interface the methodology engineer can develop graphical models in RAMATIC's model definition language and then easily generate the resource files that control the operations of RAMATIC. MetaEdit…
Egle Renata Trincanato. Unbuilt
2016
In the spring of 1947, the ‘Venetian’ architect took part in the competition, organized by the Municipality of Venice, for a series of houses to be built in the north and south estuary of the Venetian lagoon, obtaining the first and second prize, both ex aequo, with projects for residences proposals in Burano and Pellestrina. In these two unbuilt works, we can trace some important methodological aspects about the approach to the project by the architect who will make Venice the city subject of her later studies.
Digitizing maps procedure for scientific forestry administration by GIS database. Case study: Rasinari forestry administration
2019
This study aims to detail the computerization and digitization process of forest management of Rasinari forest district, Sibiu county. The study focuses on the transition from the printed design of management plans, which includes forest management plans and forest maps, in digital format. The digital model of management plans was originally tested on a single management plan and then extended to all management plans and is now implemented in a GIS database that can be viewed online as well.
Il Gran Caffè di Giuseppe Damiani Almeyda
2015
Il testo affronta lo studio di un’opera giovanile di Giuseppe Damiani Almeyda (1834-1911), figura di spicco del panorama architettonico in Sicilia tra la seconda metà dell’Ottocento ed i primi del Novecento. Il progetto del Gran Caffè, vincitore di prestigiosi riconoscimenti, anche se realizzato quando Damiani non era ancora trentenne, risulta molto maturo e segna una tappa importante nella formazione dell’architetto. Se ne ritroveranno richiami progettuali nel Politeama, edificio a cui il suo nome è legato, e in una grandiosa opera didattica, la Scuola Italiana di Architettura Civile, che, purtroppo, non è mai stata pubblicata. I disegni originali, a matita, inchiostro ed acquerello su car…
The development of children's perception of hierarchical patterns : an investigation across tasks and populations
2011
The thesis investigated the development of children’s global/local processing hierarchical patterns introduced by Navon (1977). The objectives were to understand more comprehensively the developmental characteristics of children’s perception through their global and local processing of hierarchical patterns, by considering the effects of age, stimuli properties, duration of exposure to the stimuli and gender in a perceptual task and a drawing task. These effects were tested in 3 different populations: typically developing children, children with mental retardation and early blind children. The results revealed that typically developing children attended to both the local and global level of…
