Non-Desarguian geometries and the foundations of geometry from David Hilbert to Ruth Moufang

2004

Abstract In this work, we study the development of non-Desarguian geometry from David Hilbert to Ruth Moufang. We will see that a geometric model became a complicated interrelation between algebra and geometry.

A Non-Local Two Dimensional Foundation Model

2012

Classical foundation models such as the Pasternak and the Reissner models have been recently reformulated within the framework of non-local mechanics, by using the gradient theory of elasticity. To contribute to the research effort in this field, this paper presents a two-dimensional foundation model built by using a mechanically based non-local elasticity theory, recently proposed by the authors. The foundation is thought of as an ensemble of soil column elements resting on an elastic base. It is assumed that each column element is acted upon by a local Winkler-like reaction force exerted by the elastic base, by contact shear forces and volume forces due, respectively, to adjacent and non-…

Implementation of the quality training program in Spain.

2019

e18296 Background: The ECO Foundation is a collaboration of experts representing the major Spanish hospitals in the pursuit of excellence in cancer treatment. Since 2015, ECO has been collaborating with ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology) in quality initiatives in cancer care, like the QOPI (Quality Oncology Practice Initiative) program and the QOPI Certification Program (QCP). The Quality Training Program (QTP) is a 6-month program with 3 in-person learning sessions that prepares oncology teams to design implement and lead successful quality improvement activities in their practices. In 2018, ECO reached a new agreement with ASCO to implement this program in Spain. Methods: The Q…

Metafisica si dice in molti modi. Sulla recente Storia della metafisica a cura di Enrico Berti

2020

Is it possible to recount the history of metaphysics? And what image of metaphysics can emerge from this historyand from the narration of such a history? The recent volume Storia della metafisica, edited by Enrico Berti and at the coreof the analysis of the present essay, helps us to answer these questions,confirming that metaphysics is said in many ways.

Indentation of rigidly supported sandwich beams with foam cores exhibiting non-linear compressive behaviour.

2011

A generalized analytical approach to investigate the indentation of sandwich beams under concentrated loads is presented, based on the Winkler foundation theory. A segment-wise model is implemented to the case of fully backed sandwich beams with polymeric foam cores exhibiting generic non-linear compressive behaviours. Closed-form analytical solutions of the indentation curve are obtained for simplified foam compression behaviours: elastic-perfectly-plastic, bilinear and bilinear-perfectly-plastic. Analytical predictions are compared with experimental data from sandwiches employing foam cores with peculiar non-linear behaviours. The proposed models are found to give a better match of the e…

Prediction of Early Death and Severe Infections during Novel Agent-Based Induction Therapy in Newly-Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma: An Intergroup Analysi…

2021

Abstract Background: During the past decade, prognostic tools and outcomes of patients with newly-diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) markedly improved. Data from clinical trials evaluating early morbidity and mortality including patients with transplant-eligible NDMM treated with novel agents are scarce. Thus, we aimed to analyze early morbidity and mortality in this patient cohort, devise and validate a predictive score to identify patients at risk. Patients and methods: Between July 2005 and January 2018, 1333 patients with transplant-eligible NDMM from three subsequent phase III trials, HD4, MM5 and HD6 from the German-speaking Myeloma Multicenter Group (GMMG), received a novel agent-base…

Silesian Texans – przyczynek do relacji o stanie zachowania muzycznej kultury

2019

Śląscy Teksańczycy, od ponad 150 lat mieszkający w okolicach San Antonio w Teksasie, to dziś grupa szacowana przez niektórych badaczy na ok. 200 tysięcy (1%) mieszkańców tego stanu. Osie-dlali się zwykle grupowo, w przeciwieństwie do tzw. emigrantów brazylijskich z podobnego czasu. Tak powstały i istnieją do dziś osady o nazwach: Panna Maria (tu się wszystko zaczęło), Cesto-chowa, St. Hedwig, Kościuszko, Bandera i inne. Historię osadnictwa, losów rodzin, zachowania języka i kultury materialnej ujmują publikacje, niejednokrotnie niezwykle szczegółowe. Trudno podobny sąd wyrazić o badaniach stanu zachowania kultury muzycznej. Jednocześnie szczątkowe dane, zebrane niejednokrotnie niejako przy …
