Léonard entre deux mondes

2021

Il existe un mythe Leonard. Forge des sa mort, il reunit l’artiste habile a l’ingenieur a l’imagination debordante. On lui prete sans doute trop : tantot erudit, tantot homme sans lettres, tantot visionnaire, tantot plagiaire. L’ambiguite meme de sa figure, reelle ou construite, revele un malentendu recurrent entre culture savante, culture technique et savoir-faire artisanal durant l’epoque moderne. L’article examine quelques cas celebres de ces grandes incomprehensions du XVIIe siecle, considerees en tant que modeles d’une science de l’invention encore a ses balbutiements et qui ne prendra sa forme actuelle qu’a l’ere industrielle.

La dynastie Beurdeley (1818-1895) : entre boutique et atelier. Une histoire du commerce des curiosités et de la création d’objets d’art au XIXe siècle

2019

The Beurdeley dynasty was established in Paris from 1818 to 1895. They were active in the trade of "curiosities" (as antiques were then described) but they also founded a workshop for the manufacture of furniture and gilt bronzes. The study of their business reveals the increasing value devoted to curiosities, the consumption and the circulation of works of art, both antique and modern, the trade and the workshop practices throughout the nineteenth century. The dual activity of dealer and manufacturer is significant and exposes the correlations between the commerce, the development of the taste for old objects following the intense circulation of merchandises triggered by the Revolution, an…

Environmental values and customer-perceived value in industrial supplier relationships

2017

This study addresses a gap in the research on supply channel management by integrating environmental values and value creation in the context of buyer-supplier relationships. This study has two objectives: (i) to explore the environmental values structure of industrial customers, and (ii) to test the effect of environmental values on overall value perceptions. The effect of customer's environmental values on the supplier's environmental image and customer-perceived value is tested with structural equation modeling using the PLS method. The empirical analysis is based on a global sample of industrial companies that have a high impact on the environment (n = 121). Key findings of this study a…

Il rinnovamento urbano pre-unitario. Tipi edilizi e specificità nell'edilizia ospedaliera a Palermo

2012

SOMMARIO Anche a Palermo, così come nelle altre città italiane, i decenni successivi all'Unità sono connotati da una forte esigenza di rinnovamento urbano, sia per la tragica sequenza di epidemie di colera e di tubercolosi favorite dai quartieri malsani e dalle precarietà abitative e sanitarie, sia per la naturale competizione ed emulazione tra i maggiori centri della nuova Nazione. Una cospicua quantità di risorse economiche, scientifiche ed intellettuali, venne destinata per nuove attrezzature sociali utili all’igiene collettiva (bagni, lavatoi pubblici), ma ancor più per strutture sanitarie specializzate nelle cura di malattie a carattere sociale, nelle quali si sperimentavano e mettevan…

The development of school and sports task values among adolescent athletes : The role of gender

2022

AbstractSuccessfully integrating elite sports with education requires motivation to commit oneself to both domains. This study examines the development of and gender differences in adolescent athletes’ task values for school and sports across the upper secondary school years. A total of 391 adolescents (aged 15–16 at the beginning of the study) were followed four times during sports upper secondary school. The participating student athletes were recruited from six sports upper secondary schools in Finland, which offer equal competitive sport opportunities for both genders. The results showed that school- and sports- task values are strongly related to each other. Males valued school less th…

Anomaly Detection in Dynamic Social Systems Using Weak Estimators

2009

Anomaly detection involves identifying observationsthat deviate from the normal behavior of a system. One ofthe ways to achieve this is by identifying the phenomena thatcharacterize “normal” observations. Subsequently, based on thecharacteristics of data learned from the “normal” observations,new observations are classified as being either “normal” or not.Most state-of-the-art approaches, especially those which belongto the family parameterized statistical schemes, work under theassumption that the underlying distributions of the observationsare stationary. That is, they assume that the distributions thatare learned during the training (or learning) phase, thoughunknown, are not time-varyin…

Fifteen operationally important decisions in the planning of biodiversity offsets

2018

Many development projects, whether they are about construction of factories, mines, roads, railways, new suburbs, shopping malls, or even individual houses, have negative environmental consequences. Biodiversity offsetting is about compensating that damage, typically via habitat restoration, land management, or by establishment of new protected areas. Offsets are the fourth step of the so-called mitigation hierarchy, in which ecological damage is first avoided, minimized second, and third restored locally. Whatever residual damage remains is then offset. Offsetting has been increasingly adopted all around the world, but simultaneously serious concerns are expressed about the validity of the…

Design and development of a continuous wave functional near infrared spectroscopy system

2014

Functional Near InfraRed Spectroscopy uses light sources and optical detectors for human brain monitoring. In this paper, a portable, low cost, battery-operated, multi-channel, continuous wave fNIRS embedded system, hosting up to 64 LED sources and 128 Silicon PhotoMultiplier optical detectors, is reported on. The designed system is based on a scalable architecture, in which each probe consists of 8 modular and flexible stands, able to host 4 bi-color LEDs as light sources, 16 silicon photomultipliers as photodetectors and a temperature sensor. The hardware structure allows to easily set up several relevant parameters: the timing of the LEDs, the optical power emitted by the LEDs; the acqui…
