Dynamic Phase Diagram of the REM
2019
International audience; By studying the two-time overlap correlation function, we give a comprehensive analysis of the phase diagram of the Random Hopping Dynamics of the Random Energy Model (REM) on time-scales that are exponential in the volume. These results are derived from the convergence properties of the clock process associated to the dynamics and fine properties of the simple random walk in the $n$-dimensional discrete cube.
Introduzione ad Arte : Artworks, mimesis, agency
2021
Il volume raccoglie alcune delle relazioni tenute all’interno del ciclo di seminari Antropologia dell’arte, organizzato nel 2019 dall’Associazione per la conservazione delle tradizioni popolari in collaborazione con l’Accademia di Belle Arti di Palermo e curato da Rosario Perricone. Il seminario comprendeva diversi incontri durante i quali studiosi di diversi ambiti disciplinari hanno dibattuto su concetti, nozioni e oggetti che si pongono al crocevia tra le discipline dell’antropologia, della storia dell’arte, della semiotica, degli studi culturali, della visual culture, delineando talvolta fenomeni di ibridazione delle pratiche artistiche ed etnografiche e, talvolta, di dissolvenza delle …

Step-along power vector method for astigmatic wavefront propagation
2013
Purpose To propose both a new algebraic solution and a graphical monitoring method for astigmatic wavefront propagation in the framework provided by power vectors. Methods The generalised propagation equation describing the propagation of astigmatic wavefronts from one plane to another is adapted to the power vectors formalism using a novel algorithm based on a step-along method. The step-along procedure is directly applied to the tuple of power vectors [M, J0, J45] representing an arbitrary astigmatic wavefront and it permits the calculation of the tuple of power vectors [M′, J′0, J′45] after a given propagation distance. This is achieved mathematically first by temporarily rotating the as…
H(II) centers in natural silica under repeated UV laser irradiations
2004
We investigated the kinetics of H(II) centers (=Ge'-H) in natural silica under repeated 266nm UV irradiations performed by a Nd:YAG pulsed laser. UV photons temporarily destroy these paramagnetic defects, their reduction being complete within 250 pulses. After re-irradiation, H(II) centers grow again, and the observed recovery kinetics depends on the irradiation dose; multiple 2000 pulses re-irradiations induce the same post-irradiation kinetics of H(II) centers after each exposure cycle. The analysis of these effects allows us to achieve a deeper understanding of the dynamics of the centers during and after laser irradiation.
Quality control in the optical industry: From a work analysis of lens inspection to a training programme, an experimental case study
2007
A cognitive work analysis of quality inspection in the optical industry has been carried out in order to devise a training programme. The task concerned the inspection of high quality human eyeglass lenses. We conducted an experimental investigation of defect detection and acceptability decision-making tasks in 18 experts and novice inspectors. Detection and decision-making were investigated together and separately in two experimental sessions. We showed the effect of expertise on reaction times and errors, and we described the cognitive processes of novice inspectors. On the basis of the processing differences between the two groups, a training programme for new inspectors was devised and …
Structural modifications induced by electron irradiation in SiO2 glass: Local densification measurements
2009
We report a study on the structural modifications induced in amorphous silicon dioxide (a-SiO2) by electron irradiation in the dose range from 1.2?103 to 5?106?kGy. This study has been performed by investigating the properties of the 29Si hyperfine structure of the E '? center by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Our data suggest that the structural modifications induced by irradiation take place through the nucleation of confined high-defective and densified regions statistically dispersed into the whole volume of the material. In addition, we have estimated that in the high dose limit (D?105?kGy) the degree of densification associated to the local (within the defective r…
Tecnologie e valori dello sguardo. Occhiali e discorsività
2021
What is that very special object in our daily lives that is a pair of spectacles all about? It accompanies us faithfully through every moment of the day, it crouches beside us when we do without, or it is stowed away in a bag, momentarily resting on a shelf. But it is always ready to come back and ride our noses and ears in order to perform its inalienable function to the best of its ability. Function? A notion as pernicious as it is indispensable when dealing with a sure design product such as spectacles. An unfortunate, polysemic, inflated term, problematised in a thousand ways; an intrusive and unwelcome guest, with whom one never ends up coming to terms. One sends him away and finds him…

Dallo chignon ai capelli sciolti. Stereotipie delle bibliotecarie tra primo e secondo Novecento
2021
The essay focuses on the main stereotypes that have characterized the way of representing the figure of the librarian starting from classic American cinema. Hair gathered in a chignon, shirt buttoned at the neck, glasses, are elements that make the surly, solitary, shy and rude librarians easily recognizable who find their climax in the figure of Miss Anderson in Citizen Kane. In the second half of the twentieth century, however, a radical change took place in the stereotypical representation of this figure and the chignon was replaced by loose hair and the character of the harsh woman gave way to that of the sexy icon.
