Da Ernesto Basile al nodo stradale: rilievo, ridisegno e studio del Monumento ai Caduti di piazza Vittorio Veneto a Palermo
2015
Per commemorare la battaglia del 27 maggio 1860, L’Amministrazione di Palermo nel 1910 decise di realizzare un monumento. Si scelse il centro di una grande piazza circolare che avrebbe costituito la parte terminale di una elegante arteria ai margini della città a cui il monumento avrebbe fatto da fondale. La realizzazione del monumento fu affidata a Ernesto Basile che progettò anche la sistemazione a giardino del piano, oltre il quale correva una strada circolare che delimitava e concludeva la piazza. Nel 1927 il Comune decise di dedicare il monumento ai Caduti della Grande Guerra e chiese a Basile di aggiungervi una quinta architettonica, un’esedra semicircolare a colonne che, separando il…
Structural and Dynamical Complexities of Risk and Catastrophe Systems: an Approach by System Dynamics Modelling
2009
Risk and catastrophe are complex systems. Within the scope of this paper, we focus our attention on structural and dynamic complexities of catastrophes and on the possibility of modelling and simulating its double complexity with a formal and methodological framework: the General Systems Theory and System Dynamics modelling. Then we briefly propose a model of urban catastrophe related to a flood. After we propose some ways of research allowing exceeding the limits related to the modelling.
Determining the appropriate timing of the next forest inventory: incorporating forest owner risk preferences and the uncertainty of forest data quali…
2017
Key message The timing to conduct new forest inventories should be based on the requirements of the decision maker. Importance should be placed on the objectives of the decision maker and his/her risk preferences related to those objectives. Context The appropriate use of pertinent and available information is paramount in any decision-making process. Within forestry, a new forest inventory is typically conducted prior to creating a forest management plan. The acquisition of new forest inventory data is justified by the simple statement of “good decisions require good data.” Aims By integrating potential risk preferences, we examine the specific needs to collect new forest information. Meth…
Explaining the rising precariat in Spain
2020
[EN] Spanish GDP indicator figures recover while the risk of poverty has not stopped increasing since 2007 given the continuous austerity policies adopted by Governments, while labour and welfare conditions have worsened. A new phenomenon is emerging: the flattening of the Spanish middle class. This study proposes a model to quantify the number of individuals according to their level of precariousness in Spain. The model allows us to predict the behaviour of society in Spain given the mimetic nature of humans by constructing a discrete finite epidemiological model that classifies and quantifies the population in Spain according to its risk of precariousness. Our results show a rise in the p…
Developing a Life Cycle Management methodology for road pavements
2022
The necessity of implementing sustainability is a main challenge in our society and it is taking up also in civil engineering works sector, although the infrastructure field is still understanding how to make the Sustainability Assessment (SA) a common practice within the National Road Authorities (NRAs). This research aims at providing a specific methodology for the Life Cycle Management (LCM) of road pavements materials and activities, starting from the available ISO and EN standards, by using Life-Cycle based techniques and Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM), with the aim of assessing performance under the three pillars of sustainability.
A school trip and three modelling tasks. A experience in a secondary classroom
2015
[EN] This paper describes an experimence conducted in a ninth grade classroom. Three modeling tasks have been designed both related with the organization of a school trip. The main objective is to obtain the aspects to be considered when we propose this kind of tasks. For this aim we will analyze the result of experience thought the student’s responses in order to identify and classify the difficulties encountered them

La trilogia mondana di Girolamo Brusoni
1996
La monografia pone al centro dell'indagine la proposta modellizzante di una mondana perfezione, che è ricavabile dalla secentesca trilogia del Brusoni e appare il frutto di un preciso momento storico, in cui si dirada progressivamente l'atmosfera libertina che, pur con i suoi limiti, era stata alimentata dall'attività degli aderenti dell'Accademia degli Incogniti. Dal ciclo di Glisomiro, infatti, viene fuori un sistema comportamentale di particolare ampiezza e complessità, che non soltanto abbraccia le più esterne pratiche di relazione sociale, ma tocca l'indirizzo esistenziale. Mediante l'autobiografico protagonista, il Brusoni sperimenta un modello di comportamento, frutto sì di ammirata …

A Comprehensive Check of Usle-Based Soil Loss Prediction Models at the Sparacia (South Italy) Site
2020
At first, in this paper a general definition of the event rainfall-runoff erosivity factor for the USLE-based models, REFe = (QR)b1(EI30)b2, in which QR is the event runoff coefficient, EI30 is the single-storm erosion index and b1 and b2 are coefficients, was introduced. The rainfall-runoff erosivity factors of the USLE (b1 = 0, b2 = 1), USLE-M (b1 = b2 = 1), USLE-MB (b1 ≠ 1, b2 = 1), USLE-MR (b1 = 1, b2 ≠ 1), USLE-MM (b1 = b2 ≠ 1) and USLE-M2 (b1 ≠ b2 ≠ 1) can be defined using REFe. Then, the different expressions of REFe were simultaneously tested against a dataset of normalized bare plot soil losses, AeN, collected at the Sparacia (south Italy) site. As expected, the poorest AeN predict…
