El papel de la Geografía en el análisis del contenido semántico de los topónimos. El caso de Alicante
2018
La relación entre Geografía y Toponimia es incuestionable, ya que los topónimos designan lugares de la superficie terrestre, y la Geografía es la ciencia que estudia los fenómenos que suceden sobre dichos lugares. Además, los nombres de lugar son una herramienta de primer orden para la reconstitución de un paisaje geográfico desaparecido. La Geografía, la Historia y la Lingüística son las tres principales disciplinas auxiliares de la ciencia toponímica. Se lleva a cabo un análisis toponímico de un caso paradigmático al respecto: Alacant/Alicante. Por un lado repasamos su larga y convulsa historia antigua, que implicó el abandono del poblado romano y su traslado -junto con su topónimo- al so…
Análisis geodemográfico y planificación territorial en España
2002
This article studies the current role of geodemographic analysis in Spanish spatial planning; its importance, gaps and problems. This is done both from a theoretical and planning perspectives. The theoretical perspective studies the references to the population in the legal norm of the several forms of planning, and in particular in the very recent Autonomous Regions' laws. The planning perspective refers to the specific spatial plans that have been aproved. The article identifies three types of spatial planning: urban planning, town and country planning and environmental planning. Therefore, excluding the sectorial planning with spatial incidence.
Il Moderno e la Provincia : riflessioni grafiche su uno spazio mai nato: la Casa del Balilla di Luigi Moretti a Bitonto
2020
Luigi Moretti è stato indubbiamente uno dei più grandi architetti italiani del ‘900. La sua fortuna iniziò durante il ventennio fascista, quando progettò diversi edifici per l’Opera Nazionale Balilla, tra cui la sede di Bitonto, edificio non realizzato di dimensioni contenute, a cui la storiografia ha dedicato pochissimo spazio, derubricandolo forse ad un’esperienza di secondo piano nella carriera dell’architetto romano. Ma è davvero così? La località, centro minore (ricco di storia e tradizioni) nella provincia del Sud Italia, può avere influenzato le scelte progettuali? In che modo? Si può parlare di un progetto chiaro dello spazio? L’eventuale confronto con le altre Case del Balilla cost…
Beyond lifetime reproductive success: the posthumous reproductive dynamics of male Trinidadian guppies
2013
In semelparous populations, dormant germ banks (e.g. seeds) have been proposed as important in maintaining genotypes that are adaptive at different times in fluctuating environments. Such hidden storage of genetic diversity need not be exclusive to dormant banks. Genotype diversity may be preserved in many iteroparous animals through sperm-storage mechanisms in females. This allows males to reproduce posthumously and increase the effective sizes of seemingly female-biased populations. Although long-term sperm storage has been demonstrated in many organisms, the understanding of its importance in the wild is very poor. We here show the prevalence of male posthumous reproduction in wild Trini…
Global age-sex-specific fertility, mortality, healthy life expectancy (HALE), and population estimates in 204 countries and territories, 1950–2019: a…
2020
Background Accurate and up-to-date assessment of demographic metrics is crucial for understanding a wide range of social, economic, and public health issues that affect populations worldwide. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 produced updated and comprehensive demographic assessments of the key indicators of fertility, mortality, migration, and population for 204 countries and territories and selected subnational locations from 1950 to 2019. Methods 8078 country-years of vital registration and sample registration data, 938 surveys, 349 censuses, and 238 other sources were identified and used to estimate age-specific fertility. Spatiotemporal Gaussian…
Norman Graphics: A Multimedia Manifesto
2020
The apses of the Cathedral of Monreale (XII century) are characterised by extraordinarily rich decorations, to enhance the most sacred part of the sanctuary where the altar is located. The paper describes some circular inlays of the central apse of the Cathedral of Monreale through a geometric analysis communicated via a multimedia language. The geometric motifs can be arranged in a graphic composition according to an imaginative process that collects all the scientific analysis procedure described above such as a sort of Manifesto of the Norman architectural culture geometry in Sicily and in southern Italy. The Manifesto is an audio-visual product, consisting of vector drawings’ animations…
Graphic Analysis Between Teaching and Research. Mario Ridolfi Unbuilt
2017
The graphic analysis in absentia, moving between thought and work, tries to track down, through digital surveys, a consistent path of design process. For many years now, the digital has changed the communication architecture processes that have always been areas of critics and representation. Architecture, indeed, can be told with texts, and new and unreleased representations wandering the sites of fruitful interaction between theoretical production and digital processing. The purpose of this study is to tell two projects, through unpublished images, about a little-known Ridolfi, through the close relationship between history, drawing and project.
Barbara Sokołowska Brukalski. Graphic Analysis of the House on Niegolewskiego Street
2017
The project analyzed in this paper by the critical and digital redrawing is the House on Niegolewskiego Street of 1927–28, designed by Barbara Sokołowska for her and her husband, Stanislaw Brukalski, inspired by the Neoplasticism ideas, the paintings of Mondrian and De Stijl. In its details the house seems to recall that one in Utrecht by G.T. Rietveld of 1924, with a very large living room, a studio overlooking a double height and a spiral stair connecting the two floors into one space defined by translated planes and pure volumes.
Impact of Parkinson?s disease on the efficiency of masticatory cycles : electromyographic analysis
2019
Background This study evaluated the efficiency of masticatory cycles by means of the linear envelope of the electromyographic signal of the masseter and temporalis muscles in individuals with Parkinson’s disease. Material and Methods Twenty-four individuals were assigned into two groups: with Parkinson’s disease, average ± SD 66.1 ± 3.3 years (n = 12) and without the disease, average ± SD: 65.8 ± 3.0 years (n = 12). The MyoSystem-I P84 electromyograph was used to analyze the activity of masticatory cycles through the linear envelope integral in habitual mastication of peanuts and raisins and non-habitual mastication of Parafilm M®. Results There was statistically significant difference (P ≤…
A 3D reworking of the urban transformations of Palermo in recent history for a hypothesis of a "City Museum" based on digital visualizations
2021
The objective that drives this research is given by a multitude of information which, in addition to the contribution of technology, allows us to study, analyze, verify and remodel the sites, monuments and evolutions of the city through graphic processes of perspective restitution that start from the analysis of historical photos. The drawing methods, the digital graphic rendering and through the aid of geometric techniques, contribute to the reconstruction of projects and architectures that are now lost, this is possible thanks to the methods of perspective, axonometry and three-dimensional restitution. This remarkable photographic heritage belonging to Palermo, but also to any other city …
