Computing Subdivision Surface Intersection
2003
Computer surface intersections is fundamental problem in geometric modeling. Any Boolean operation can be seen as an intersection calculation followed by a selection of parts necessary for building the surface of the resulting object. This paper deals with the computing of intersection curveson subdivision surfaces (surfaces generated by the Loop scheme). We present three variants of our algorithm. The first variant calculates this intersection after classification of the object faces into intersecting and non-intersecting pairs of faces. the second variant is based on 1-neighborhood of the intersecting faces. The third variant uses the concept of bipartite graph.
La persistenza della tradizione: considerazioni sulla tecnica costruttiva, sul dimensionamento e sul disegno progettuale dell’anfiteatro di Sabratha
2015
L’anfiteatro di Sabratha venne indagato nel 1924-26 da Renato Bartoccini, interessato in seguito da pochi interventi di scavo e restauro, è rimasto inedito. Le recenti indagini hanno permesso di redigere un nuovo rilievo e di avanzare un’ipotesi ricostruttiva. Terzo per grandezza tra gli anfiteatri noti nell’Africa Proconsolare, con una capacità stimata di circa 16.000 spettatori, è realizzato interamente in opera quadrata con conci di calcarenite locale e sembra essere stato progettato sulla base del cubito punico. Venne eretto probabilmente in età flavia all’interno di un più vasto progetto di ristrutturazione urbana e la sua enorme mole è giustificabile con il ruolo di Sabratha quale imp…

Dal disegno alla misura. Ricostruzione del fronte di palazzo Aiutamicristo a Palermo
2020
I laser scanner e la fotogrammetria SfM hanno scardinato il legame tradizionale fra misura e disegno, fissato negli eidotipi che spesso prefiguravano i disegni di restituzione. Il contributo che segue intende dimostrare, attraverso una esemplificazione su un caso studio, che le tecnologie digitali e il lavoro di indagine su repliche del reale, esaltano, attraverso nuovi modi di interazione fra disegno e misura, la possibilità di indagare l’architettura costruita per decodificarne lo schema, il progetto. Il caso studio prescelto è il fronte principale di palazzo Aiutamicristo, costruito a Palermo a partire dal 1490 su progetto di Matteo Carnilivari. Il prospetto di palazzo Aiutamicristo avrà…
Special Functions for the Study of Economic Dynamics: The Case of the Lucas-Uzawa Model
2004
The special functions are intensively used in mathematical physics to solve differential systems. We argue that they should be most useful in economic dynamics, notably in the assessment of the transition dynamics of endogenous growth models. We illustrate our argument on the Lucas-Uzawa model, which we solve by the means of Gaussian hypergeometric functions. We show how the use of Gaussian hypergeometric functions allows for an explicit representation of the equilibrium dynamics of the variables in level. In contrast to the preexisting approaches, our method is global and does not rely on dimension reduction.
Functional inequalities for generalized inverse trigonometric and hyperbolic functions
2014
Various miscellaneous functional inequalities are deduced for the so-called generalized inverse trigonometric and hyperbolic functions. For instance, functional inequalities for sums, difference and quotient of generalized inverse trigonometric and hyperbolic functions are given, as well as some Gr\"unbaum inequalities with the aid of the classical Bernoulli inequality. Moreover, by means of certain already derived bounds, bilateral bounding inequalities are obtained for the generalized hypergeometric ${}_3F_2$ Clausen function.
Il sistema di copertura del Teatro Politeama di Palermo
2012
In the project of the Politeama’s Theater in Palermo, the Architect Almeyda summarizes, in an expressive and model balance, the technological component and geometrical/spatial shape, providing optimal solutions to a structural and functional problems. Thanks to its typological approach, thanks to its technological aspects and, specifically, thanks to its size and its style, the work offers us some interesting reflections about the technical choices carried out for the construction. The Author, basing on some original Almeyda’s drawings, deepens the geometric and compositional system of the roof. The daring and complex construction carried out in iron and glass, modern and progressive in for…

Biological invasions are recognized as a significant evolutionary factor over short time scales. In particular, their effect is well recorded on the genetic structure of populations, the patterns of phenotypic evolution and the richness of parasite fauna associated to invasive populations. This study aims at quantifying the consequences of a biological invasion according to these three levels (genetical, phenotypical and parasitological) taking as example the Mozambique tilapia Oreochromis mossambicus. This African cichlid is characterized by an unusual conservation status since it is both (i) ranked among the world's worst invasive species due to its global dispersion during the 20th centu…
Geometrical-mechanical artefacts mediating tangent meaning: the Tangentograph
2012
This work deals with the didactical use of geometrical-mechanical artefacts to acquire tangent concept in vygotskian perspective. We adopt Rabardel’s theory on instru-mental approach to distinguish artefacts and instruments specially to evince the history-to-education ontogenesis-phylogenesis process. From this point of view we trace a historical-epistemological pathway for the tangent up to set an ad hoc didactical counterpart. Specifically in this paper we deepen the kinematical properties of the tangent (introducing the XVII century so called tractional motion) designing a laboratorial didactic pathway for 12th grade students with the use of a particular geometrical-mechanical artefact f…
