Attraversare
2016
L'articolo propone alcune riflessioni sul concetto di "attraversamento dell'architettura" tramite l'implicazione delle arti visuali e del teatro danza. In particolare, è stata approfondito tale concetto realizzando un "attraversamento" della concatenazione spaziale di Palazzo Riso, Museo d'Arte Contemporanea di Palermo, filtrando lo spazio con la scansione temporale della danza. La performance di teatro danza prende avvio in un precedente momento architettonico, cioè nella Piazza Bologni, che costituisce una delle due estremità del percorso teatrale-spaziale. La piazza costituisce il momento della riflessione, dall'esterno verso l’interno, di una serie di avvenimenti attraverso i quali pren…
Surface finish generated in hard turning of quenched alloy steel parts using conventional and wiper ceramic inserts
2006
Abstract Significant progress has already been achieved in green manufacturing including dry and hard, often high-speed, machining technologies. For instance, the demand for higher productivity has resulted in the wider application of ceramic and PCBN tools with special multi-radii (wiper) geometry. This paper reports some important characteristics of the surface roughness produced in the turning of a hardened low-chromium alloy steel using mixed alumina–titanium carbon (TiC) ceramic cutting tools equipped with both conventional and wiper inserts. The characteristic geometrical features of surfaces obtained in both these turning operations have been assessed by means of representative two-d…
Parametric Design of Sailing Hull Shapes
2006
The author presents an original algorithm aimed at automatically generating the hull shape of a sailing yacht starting from an initial set of parameters. The procedure consists of two steps. First one keel line and a Designed Water Line (DWL in the following) are faired according to a set of parameters, say length of water line, canoe body draft, stem angle and some adimensional coefficients. This information is then used to fair the hull surface, which must in turn fulfil more prerequisites (parameters like displaty cement, floatation area and related coefficients). The hull is defined by means of a B-spline surface, the fairing of which is ensured by allowing for all the imposed objective…
Documentación gráfica de la Iglesia de Santa Águeda en Sotillo de la Ribera (España)
2014
The parochial church of Santa Águeda in Sotillo de la Ribera, located in the province of Burgos, Spain is the object of the works of graphical documentation using different methods of survey, which provide a material with different levels of precision, here analysed and confronted. The value of documentation of buildings never surveyed before, enables a much more thorough formal analysis and offers the possibility of contrasting cases with similar features within the territory. The supplementary value added by the knowledge of measures of ancient architectures means a useful tool for their study and, along with formal and historic studies supplies enough elements to obtain a revalorization …
Towards Municipal Environmental Development: Environmental Management Systems for Local Formal Education Establishments
2021
Educational institutions create certain environmental impacts in their operation – these impacts can be grouped into the sectors of waste, water, energy, transport and others. There is a need for educational institutions to adopt effective environmental management systems in order to reduce these impacts, as well as those of the whole municipality. The Eco-Schools programme is one of the most comprehensive and popular models of environmental education and management in the world. In recent years, the Eco-Schools programme has proved its effectiveness in numerous evaluations in several countries. The programme aims to raise awareness about environmental issues. Therefore, this programme enco…
Documentación del Patrimonio Arqueológico mediante el procedimiento del diseño por contacto con las superficies musivas pavimentales y parietales del…
2021
[EN] The archaeological excavations that have been carried out in the Hispano-Roman city of Valeria have exhumed the remains of a thermal complex from the 1st century AD that it was in service for four centuries and that, after its abandonment, it was barely spoiled for its constructive and decorative materials. This circumstance has allowed the conservation of a paving mosaic in a good state of preservation. In this same room has been recovered an important collection of fragments corresponding to the parietal musive decoration that constitutes a unique corpus in the Roman archaeology of the province of Cuenca. Due to the historical-archaeological importance of this type of elements, a met…

Pitfalls in the Development of Agent-Based Models in Social Sciences: Avoiding Them and Learning from Them
2019
The references on the principles and methodology for developing agent-based models of social phenomena usually describe general principles and illustrate the process using worked examples, but seldom focus on the pitfalls and errors that make practical model building a tortuous and difficult task. This chapter contains a discussion of the positive and negative aspects of my personal experience in a PhD work on simulation of large scale social conflict. The purpose will be to describe the process from the initial plan to the final dissertation, analyze the pitfalls and their overcoming in terms of principles of model development, and summarize the ideas that I found useful for practical deve…
Goethe's scenography drawings
2017
[EN] Goethe’s facet of playwright and theater manager guarantee his architectural knowledge on these issues shown in his drawings. In its stage proposals he left the Vitruvian and Palladian models, followed in the typological definition, eliminating the architectural frons scænæ frons and preferring sets painted. Thus, fictitious architecture fit each representation but it differed from building’s architecture appropriateness.
WebGIS Implementation for Dynamic Mapping and Visualization of Coastal Geospatial Data: A Case Study of BESS Project
2021
Within an E.U.-funded project, BESS (Pocket Beach Management and Remote Surveillance System), the notion of a geographic information system is an indispensable tool for managing the dynamics of georeferenced data and information for any form of territorial planning. This notion was further explored with the creation of a WebGIS portal that will allow local and regional stakeholders/authorities obtain an easy remote access tool to monitor the status of pocket beaches (PB) in the Maltese Archipelago and Sicily. In this paper, we provide a methodological approach for the implementation of a WebGIS necessary for very detailed dynamic mapping and visualization of geospatial coastal data
