Ernesto Basile e il ritratto. Percorsi tematici ed espositivi.
2012
La mostra, che ha inizio il 29 settembre a Palermo per la durata di nove giorni, ha luogo in un posto d’elezione, opera d’arte a sua volta e recentemente restaurata, il Villino Florio all’Olivuzza progettato dallo stesso Basile per Vincenzo Florio; dimora che la nota famiglia di imprenditori aveva scelto quale luogo di rappresentanza per ostentare la “modernità” di Palermo che stava vivendo i suoi anni più gloriosi. Sono previste quattro parti tematiche (Il disegno dal vero e la figura umana; L’album giovanile inedito; Il buen retiro; Studi di nudo), quattro percorsi all’interno del tema più ampio su “Ernesto Basile e il ritratto” (di cui sono presentate alcune letture in M. Marafon Pecorar…
Calcification is not the Achilles'heel of cold-water corals in an acidifying ocean
2015
Ocean acidification is thought to be a major threat to coral reefs: laboratory evidence and CO2 seep research has shown adverse effects on many coral species, although a few are resilient. There are concerns that cold-water corals are even more vulnerable as they live in areas where aragonite saturation (Omega ara) is lower than in the tropics and is falling rapidly due to CO2 emissions. Here, we provide laboratory evidence that net (gross calcification minus dissolution) and gross calcification rates of three common cold-water corals, Caryophyllia smithii, Dendrophyllia cornigera, and Desmophyllum dianthus, are not affected by pCO2 levels expected for 2100 (pCO2 1058 µatm, Omega ara 1.29),…
DSL Based Platform for Business Process Management
2014
Currently nearly all commercial and open source BPMS are based on BPMN as a process notation. In contrast, the paper proposes to build a BPMS based on a domain specific language (DSL) as a process notation – DSBPMS. In such a DSBPMS a specific business process support could be created by business analysts. A platform for creating such DSBPMS with feasible efforts is described. This platform contains a Configurator for easy creation of graphical editors for the chosen DSL and a simple mapping language for transforming processes in this DSL to a language directly executable by the execution engine of this platform. The engine includes also all typical execution support functions so no other t…

The new 5- or 6-azapyrimidine and cyanuric acid derivatives of L-ascorbic acid bearing the free C-5 hydroxy or C-4 amino group at the ethylenic space…
2011
Abstract We report on the synthesis of the novel types of cytosine and 5-azacytosine (1–9), uracil and 6-azauracil (13–18) and cyanuric acid (19–22) derivatives of l -ascorbic acid, and on their cytostatic activity evaluation in human malignant tumour cell lines vs. their cytotoxic effects on human normal fibroblasts (WI38). The CD spectra analysis revealed that cytosine (5 and 6), uracil (14–16), 6-azauracil (17) and cyanuric acid (21) derivatives of l -ascorbic acid bearing free amino group at ethylenic spacer existed as a racemic mixture of enantiomers, whereas L-ascorbic derivatives containing the C-5 substituted hydroxy group at the ethylenic spacer were obtained in (4R, 5S) enantiomer…
Il Disegno sostenibile ante litteram dell’architettura: la “Casa a ville sovrapposte” di Figini e Pollini a Milano
2022
Can drawing be taken as an exploratory key to study a symbolic building of Italian Rationalism? This paper will attempt to do so on the Casa a ville sovrapposte in Via dell'Annunciata in Milan, designed by Figini and Pollini in the 1930s. This famous building could constitute the reversal of the established paradigm according to which rationalist buildings are always detached from the urban context of which they are part. The use of drawing as a cognitive tool can help us decode the complex of different instances underlying the design of this emblematic building of the early 20th century in Italy, including the designers’ intention to integrate nature into living, almost in an ante litteram…
Rosalia La Franca: Thought and Practice
2017
The study proposes an iconographic apparatus with sketches, annotations, schemes and geometric matrices which often accompanies the critical and pragmatic approach of Rosalia La Franca. These graphic and conceptual elements determine the graphic skeleton of her research, through which it is possible to outline the path that from time to time Rosalia La Franca follows to recognize the ‘questionable value of knowledge’.
Traduire le flou, même en droit ? Les composantes sémantiques et pragmatiques du texte juridique en vue de sa traduction
2018
La conférence trouve classiquement son point de départ dans les liens intrinsèques entre le droit et la langue. Instanciés au niveau terminologique, ils conduisent à présenter la terminologie juridique comme n’étant soluble que dans un système et un contexte juridiques donnés, et définissent la traduction juridique comme reposant sur une comparaison et une traduction des systèmes conceptuels sous-jacents. Dans ce contexte, la reconnaissance de « standards juridiques », entendus comme concepts indéterminés a priori (Bernard, 2010) est venue troubler cette mécanique bien huilée : le principe de subsidiarité (Joyeux, 2016) en est un exemple de premier plan.Il s’agira donc, à partir de la discu…
Cue combination in a combined feature contrast detection and figure identification task
2006
AbstractTarget figures defined by feature contrast in spatial frequency, orientation or both cues had to be detected in Gabor random fields and their shape had to be identified in a dual task paradigm. Performance improved with increasing feature contrast and was strongly correlated among both tasks. Subjects performed significantly better with combined cues than with single cues. The improvement due to cue summation was stronger than predicted by the assumption of independent feature specific mechanisms, and increased with the performance level achieved with single cues until it was limited by ceiling effects. Further, cue summation was also strongly correlated among tasks: when there was …
A novel methodology for accelerating bitstream relocation in partially reconfigurable systems
2012
International audience; Xilinx Virtex FPGAs offer the possibility of Partial Reconfiguration (PR). Arbitrary tasks can be allocated and de-allocated onto FPGA without system interruption. However, mapping a task to any available PR region requires a unique partial bitstream for each partition, hence reducing memory storage requirements. In recent years, an interest on overcoming this problem has lead to the concept of Partial Bitstream Relocation (PBR). The principle is to perform bitstream modification to map it to different regions. However, PBR consumes scarce resources in hardware implementations, and introduces a prohibitive time overhead when done in software. In order to find the bes…
