Scritti Africani di Antonino Di Vita
2016
Scrivere di una persona cara è impresa difficile, scrivere di una persona di cui sei stato per anni alunno e che consideri un Maestro è compito ancor più arduo. Se poi questa persona è il professore Antonino Di Vita (fig. 1), uomo dai mille interessi, studioso acuto e poliedrico, persona amabile e di raro garbo e affabilità, la missione è quasi impossibile. Sulla sua opera di infaticabile studioso in Sicilia, in Grecia e in Africa sono stati scritti fiumi di inchiostro da persone che certamente meglio di me l’hanno conosciuto e che con lui hanno lavorato per moltissimi anni. Per questo, quando mi è stato chiesto di presentare la raccolta degli Scritti africani del prof. Di Vita e di traccia…
The impact of theatrical experiences on young adults in Spain
2018
This study examines how young adults experience theatre and how this activity impacts their personal development. A total of 305 subjects, between 14 and 29 years old, completed the 'Theatre and me' (T&Y) battery of questions. Correlation and variance analysis were conducted considering age and gender. Older subjects reported that participating in drama activities has a greater impact on their lives, helps them to have a greater proclivity to take risks and to be more open-minded. With respect to gender, girls score higher than boys in 'Tolerance to RiskTaking and Commitment', 'Identity and Consciousness', Expression of Feeling' and 'Escape'
On the use of artificial intelligence tools for fracture forecast in cold forming operations
2006
Abstract The design of cold forming processes requires the availability of a procedure able to deal with the prevention of ductile fracture. In fact, the ability to predict fracture represents a powerful tool to improve the production quality in mechanical industry. In this paper, artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are applied to ductile fracture prediction in cold forming operations. The main advantage of the application of AI tools and in particular, of artificial neural networks (ANN), is the possibility to obtain a predictive tool with a wide applicability. The prediction results obtained in this paper fully demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed approach.

¿Prudencia o Sabiduría? Sinonimia e interacción visual
2020
Tanto la Sabiduría como la Prudencia han sido tratadas como términos sinónimos desde la Antigüedad. Ambos conceptos se personificaban mediante la diosa Atenea/Minerva. Estas correspondencias han dado lugar a un intercambio de papeles, siendo considerada la Sabiduría como una de las Virtudes Cardinales. Asimismo, en las alegorías de la Prudencia y la Sabiduría encontramos atributos idénticos que responden al mismo significado y función, concretamente: el aspecto armado, el libro, la lechuza, la criba o cedazo y la presencia de algún objeto lumínico.
The Theories of Helmholtz in the Work of Varèse
2011
In 1905 Varese discovered the French edition of Die Lehre von den Tonempfindungen als physiologische Grundlage fur die Theorie der Musik [On the Sensations of Tone as a Physiological Basis for the Theory of Music] of Hermann von Helmholtz (1863), the explicit intention of which was to bring together the common frontiers of science and music. This discovery was a revelation for the 22-year-old composer that went on to condition his whole philosophy of sound. The experiences of the German scientist, achieved with the aid of sirens, resonators or tuning forks, caught the imagination of the young composer. This article investigates the importance of the theories of Helmholtz for the Varesian ae…
Effect of Camera Angle on Perception of Trust and Attractiveness
2017
Film theories have long proposed that the vertical camera angle influences how the scene and the character in it are interpreted. An elevated camera (high-angle shot) should diminish the qualities of the actor, whereas a lowered camera (low-angle shot) should elevate the actor in perspective as well as in the viewer’s opinion. We were interested in how this holds up for the impression of trustworthiness and attractiveness that the spectator receives of the actor. We filmed 12 actors in a scenario inspired by a TV show called Split or Steal, which features a one-time version of the prisoner’s dilemma. Subjects had to rate trustworthiness and attractiveness of the actors, and also judge if t…
