Gaming as a Key Approach for the Recovery Process of a Public Space: The Case Study of the Old Chemical Plant ‘Chimica Arenella’ in Palermo

2021

This poster describes the FORGE (FactOry of uRban GamEs) project, a proposal that our research group launched in partnership with the Municipality of Palermo (Italy) and other local stakeholders in 2019. FORGE will be hosted in what was previously a chemical plant (the former 'Chimica Arenella') and is an open factory designed to collect needs and to generate interventions for urban innovation. The four key terms we have used for the project are urban, game, factory and participation. In fact, FORGE employs a participatory methodological model based on the concept of game, aimed at supporting social and economic development through a platform for participatory co-design. FORGE plays also a …

La gaozhong o scuola secondaria di secondo grado nel sistema scolastico della Repubblica Popolare Cinese

2020

L'articolo inquadra la scuola secondaria di secondo grado, gaozhong, nel sistema scolastico cinese. Il XX secolo in Cina si caratterizza per una successione di trasformazioni epocali che nel tempo hanno cambiato il volto del Paese. In particolare, dopo la conclusione del lungo e contraddittorio decennio della Rivoluzione culturale (1966-1976), che aveva determinato la chiusura delle scuole secondarie di ogni grado e delle università con la successiva dispersione degli studenti nelle aree rurali, è stato necessario ricostruire il sistema scolastico nella sua interezza. Infatti, le scuole non erano più praticabili, molti professori erano stati sottoposti a critica e gli studenti erano stati a…

HL7v3 CDA Rel.2 Patient Summary and Chronic Care Model: Localization experience and GP/HS Integration Project

2010

The localization experience for the Patient Summary, based on the Health Level Seven Version 3 (HL7v3) Clinical Document Architecture, Release 2 (CDA Rel.2), is presented. An overview of the Chronic Care Model (CCM) is introduced with particular attention to the clinical information systems, in order to organize patient and population clinical data by sharing information among healthcare providers in management of chronic diseases. We propose, as case study, a project for the integration of various services for General Practitioners (GP) and Hospital Specialists (HS), accessing the Electronic Health Record (EHR), implementing the Patient Summary and managing the exchange of Chronic Care med…

Musical pitch quantization as an eigenvalue problem

2020

How can discrete pitches and chords emerge from the continuum of sound? Using a quantum cognition model of tonal music, we prove that the associated Schrödinger equation in Fourier space is invariant under continuous pitch transpositions. However, this symmetry is broken in the case of transpositions of chords, entailing a discrete cyclic group as transposition symmetry. Our research relates quantum mechanics with music and is consistent with music theory and seminal insights by Hermann von Helmholtz.

Separation, isolation and stereochemical assignment of imazalil enantiomers and their quantitation in an in vitro toxicity test

2016

A simple method for the separation of the enantiomers of the fungicide imazalil was developed. Racemic imazalil was separated into its enantiomers with an enantiomeric purity of 99% using HPLC-UV with an enantioselective column (permethylated cyclodextrin) operated in reversed phase mode (water with 0.2% trimethylamine and 0.08% acetic acid and methanol). The absolute configuration of the separated enantiomers was assigned and unequivocally confirmed by optical rotation as well as by vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) combined with ab-initio calculations. The same enantioselective column was also used to develop an HPLC-MS/MS method for the quantifi…

Binding of several phenothiazine neuroleptics to a common binding site of alpha 1-acid glycoprotein, orosomucoid.

1983

The interaction of several phenothiazine neuroleptics with alpha 1-acid glycoprotein was investigated using circular dichroism and equilibrium dialysis techniques. For chlorpromazine only, one high-affinity binding site of the protein was found. The binding of the drug to this single site generated typical polyphasic extrinsic Cotton effects. Since several other phenothiazine neuroleptics gave qualitatively comparable extrinsic Cotton effects in the presence of alpha 1-acid glycoprotein and potently inhibited the binding of chlorpromazine to the single site, it was concluded that all phenothiazine derivatives investigated bound preferentially to only one common binding site of the alpha 1-a…

Robustified smoothing for enhancement of thermal image sequences affected by clouds

2015

Obtaining radiometric surface temperature information with both high acquisition rate and high spatial resolution is still not possible through a single sensor. However, in several earth observation applications, the fusion of data acquired by different sensors is a viable solution for so called image sharpening. A related issue is the presence of clouds, which may impair the performance of the data fusion algorithms. In this paper we propose a robustified setup for the sharpening of thermal images in a non real-time scenario, capable to deal with missing thermal data due to cloudy pixels, and robust with respect to cloud mask misclassifications. The effectiveness of the presented technique…
