Interventi nel palazzo di città di Palermo dopo il sisma del 1823
2019
Founded in 15th century, Palermo’s Town-hall was repeatedly reformed in the following centuries. This contribution, based on an unplished archival document kept at the Municipal Historical Archive in Palermo, focuses on the interventions carried out in the building after 1823 earthquake. This was the occasion for a significant renovation of the interior spaces of the building, in particular, the sequence vestibule, atrium, staircase. Moreover, the document offers interesting information on the tecnichs and materials in use at the beginning of 19th century in Palermo’s building sites.
Traditional vs. sliding-joint masonry infilled frames: Seismic reliability and EAL
2020
Abstract In reinforced concrete (RC) multi-storey buildings, the important role of the seismic interaction of structural frames with masonry infills has been revealed by several earthquakes and investigated by many authors. Recently, several innovative infill solutions have been proposed to mitigate such interaction, which could result in widespread damage in both the masonry and the RC structure and sometimes jeopardize the building stability and the occupants’ safety. One solution consists in the partitioning of the masonry infill into several sub-panels, relatively sliding along specific joints. This paper investigates the seismic assessment of this technological solution in the framewor…
Dilatant plasticity applied to Alpine collision: ductile void growth in the intraplate area beneath the Eifel volcanic field
1998
The Eifel is located in the middle of the European plate far away from any active plate boundary, yet it appears to be a maximum of intraplate tectonic activity. A map of intraplate seismic energy flow shows that the Eifel is linked to the Alpine collisional belt via a narrow seismoactive shear zone. Two parallel Quaternary volcanic zones (the East Eifel Volcanic Zone EEVZ and the West Eifel Volcanic Zone WEVZ) line up with the seismogenic shear zone. Xenoliths ejected from these volcanic lineaments indicate upper mantle shearing by dynamic recrystallization textures and metasomatized chemistry. Important CO2-dominated mantle degassing observed in mineral springs, lakes or dry degassing sug…
Brief communication: Vehicle routing problem and UAV application in the post-earthquake scenario
2017
Abstract. In this paper we simulate a Unmanned Aerial Vehicle's (UAV) recognition after a possible case of diffuse damage after a seismic event in the town of Acireale (Sicily, Italy). Given a set of sites (84 relevant buildings) and the range of the UAV, we are able to find the number of vehicles to employ and the shortest survey path. The problem of finding the shortest survey path is an operational research problem called Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) whose solution is known to be computationally time-consuming. We used the Simulated Annealing (SA) heuristic that is able to provide stable solutions in relatively short computing time. We also examined the distribution of the cost of the s…
A new representation of power spectral density and correlation function by means of fractional spectral moments
2009
In this paper, a new perspective for the representation of both the power spectral density and the correlation function by a unique class of function is introduced. We define the moments of order gamma (gamma being a complex number) of the one sided power spectral density and we call them Fractional Spectral Moments (FSM). These complex quantities remain finite also in the case in which the ordinary spectral moments diverge, and are able to represent the whole Power Spectral Density and the corresponding correlation function.
El valor de la palabra en la prevención de la violencia de género en contextos escolares
2016
<p>Los planes de prevención de la violencia en la escuela deben contemplar que esta no solo se manifiesta de manera física, sino también verbal. El lenguaje es, además, el germen del problema, especialmente en los casos de violencia de género, y en esencia aglutina parte de su solución. Reconocemos el papel fundamental de la educación en su atención y vigilancia como premisa para alcanzar la igualdad entre mujeres y hombres. Precisamente con nuestra propuesta, basada en el estudio de programas anti acoso y de prevención de conductas sexistas, consideramos diez pautas de comunicación verbal eficaces para la prevención de la violencia de género y el fomento de la igualdad, dirigidas al …
Nos inventamos un mundo que no existía. Una profesión de riesgo: ser editora durante el franquismo
2021
Desde el final de la dictadura franquista, la censura editorial se ha constituido en un objeto de estudio interdisciplinar que, al inicial análisis de la constitución y entramado de la censura, incorpora el estudio de una casuística varia que redimensiona el fenómeno. Por un lado, en el contexto de los memory studies, cabe analizar qué efectos tuvo en la configuración de la memoria cultural. Por otro, tiene, además, una notable incidencia en la edición, por la autocensura y la contracensura. En concreto, este artículo explora la labor de algunas editoras que, en la Barcelona de los años sesenta y setenta, integraron una generación histórica opuesta al franquismo que lidió con la censura en …
Detección de depresión, ansiedad y pánico en atención primaria mediante el PHQ
2015
El ensayo PsicAP es un proyecto piloto que pretende diseminar un programa de tratamiento psicológico para Desórdenes Emocionales (DE) en Atención Primaria (AP). La evidencia muestra que los DE, tales como trastornos del estado del ánimo, de ansiedad y somatizaciones, colapsan las consultas de AP. Existen deficiencias en su detección, incurriendo tanto en infradiagnóstico, como sobrediagnóstico. La mayoría de pacientes diagnosticados con DE no reciben el tratamiento adecuado, predominando el tratamiento farmacológico. A consecuencia, los DE tienden a cronificarse, conllevando un mayor uso de estos pacientes de los servicios sanitarios, lo que genera una carga asistencial mayor que las enferm…
The Implications Of The Foot Health Status In Parkinson Patients : A Case-Control Study
2022
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects bothhealth of the feet, as to gait patterns. This study aimed to find out about footproblems and their impact on self-perceived quality of life and related to foothealth in Parkinson's patients compared to a group of healthy subjects and tomeasure it with Spanish Podiatry Health Questionnaire (PHQ-S). It is about acase–control study in a sample of Parkinson's patients n=62, healthy controlsn=62. The PHQ-S was reported, it describes perception the subject has ineach of podiatric 6 dimensions consulted, assessing appreciation of health sta-tus of interviewee's feet and a self-rated the foot health score on the visual ana-lo…
Intermolecular structure factors of macromolecules in solution: Integral equation results
1999
The inter-molecular structure of semidilute polymer solutions is studied theoretically. The low density limit of a generalized Ornstein-Zernicke integral equation approach to polymeric liquids is considered. Scaling laws for the dilute-to-semidilute crossover of random phase (RPA) like structure are derived for the inter-molecular structure factor on large distances when inter-molecular excluded volume is incorporated at the microscopic level. This leads to a non-linear equation for the excluded volume interaction parameter. For macromolecular size-mass scaling exponents, $\nu$, above a spatial-dimension dependent value, $\nu_c=2/d$, mean field like density scaling is recovered, but for $\n…
