In vitro comparison of root-canal measurements with conventional and digital radiology.
2002
Aim The present study compared the efficacy of digital and conventional radiology for root-canal length measurement. Methodology Seventy extracted teeth with pre-served roots were used. Root-canal length measurements were completed with K-Flexofiles (numbers 08, 10 and 15) with conventional and digital radiography using two systems (radiovisiography and photostimulate storage phosphor). All films and sensors were exposed at projections of 0 degrees and 20 degrees to the mesial. The images obtained were evaluated with and without magnification, and analysed using the Cohen's kappa test. The accuracy of the three systems to determine the root-canal length were evaluated by measuring the dista…
Ossimoro - Oxymoron
2016
Può l'essenza dell'architettura trovare espressione i due sole parole? L'ossimoro sembra poter soddisfare questa domanda. La figura retorica greca diviene chiave di lettura e, al contempo, obiettivo da raggiungere attraverso il progetto. Forse più che un traguardo assoluto, l'ossimoro dà corpo a quella inquietudine che muta il razionalismo "tout court" in razionalismo esaltato, dove i principi logici sono scardinati dalla componente autobiografica. Can the essence of architecture be expressed in two words? The answer appears to provided by oxymora. The rhetorical Greek figure is both the key to interpret the project and the goal to be reached thanks to the project. More than an absolute goa…
Soil carbon, multiple benefits
2014
Made available in DSpace on 2018-12-11T17:24:47Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2015-01-01 In March 2013, 40 leading experts from across the world gathered at a workshop, hosted by the European Commission, Directorate General Joint Research Centre, Italy, to discuss the multiple benefits of soil carbon as part of a Rapid Assessment Process (RAP) project commissioned by Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment (SCOPE). This collaboration led to the publication of the SCOPE Series Volume 71 Soil Carbon: Science, Management and Policy for Multiple Benefits; which brings together the essential scientific evidence and policy opportunities regarding the global importa…
Evapotranspiration simulations in ISIMIP2a-Evaluation of spatio-temporal characteristics with a comprehensive ensemble of independent datasets
2018
Actual land evapotranspiration (ET) is a key component of the global hydrological cycle and anessential variable determining the evolution of hydrological extreme events under different climate change scenarios. However, recently available ET products show persistent uncertainties thatare impeding a precise attribution of human-induced climate change. Here, we aim at comparing arange of independent global monthly land ET estimates with historical model simulations from theglobal water, agriculture, and biomes sectors participating in the second phase of the Inter-SectoralImpact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP2a). Among the independent estimates, we use theEartH2Observe Tier-1 dataset …
The evaluation of dual-task conditions on static postural control in the older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol
2019
Abstract Background In postural stability evaluation, the dual-task concept is often adopted in order to create a more challenging situation. The dual-task consists of performing simultaneously two tasks, a primary static or dynamic motor task and an additional secondary cognitive task. Usually, a multitask condition leads to a reduction in the postural control performance, especially in older adults. Considering the wide spectrum of secondary task conditions existing in scientific literature, the present manuscript aims to write a peer-reviewed protocol that will be used in a systematic review and meta-analysis performed to identify the effects of different secondary tasks conditions in a …

MODIFICAZIONI URBANE. ARCHITETTURE E CONNESSIONI A PALERMO
2017
Il volume raccoglie gli esiti della ricerca e della didattica dei laboratori di Progettazione architettonica svolti presso il Dipartimento di Architettura dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo, sul tema del progetto urbano. L’obiettivo è quello di dimostrare come l’esperienza di progetto sia capace di riaffermare la qualità architettonica urbana nella città contemporanea. Inoltre, viene presentato un percorso di ricognizione e di conoscenza attraverso l’elaborazione di progetti didattici, dal quale emerge una forte attenzione alle trasformazioni della città. The book collects the results of the research and teaching of the architectural design laboratories carried out at the Department of …
Preserving dignity in end-of-life nursing home care: Some ethical challenges
2016
A central task in palliative care is meeting the needs of frail, dying patients in nursing homes. The aim of this study was to investigate how healthcare workers are influenced by and deal with ethical challenges in end-of-life care in nursing homes. The study was inspired by clinical application research. Researchers and clinical staff, as co-researchers, collaborated to shed light on clinical situations and create a basis for new practice. The analysis resulted in the main theme, ‘Dignity in end-of-life nursing home care’, and the sub-categories ‘Challenges regarding life-prolonging treatment’ and ‘Uncertainty regarding clarification conversations’. Our findings indicate that nursing hom…
Quality of individually calibrated customary printers for assessment of typical dental diagnoses on glossy paper prints: a multicenter pilot study.
2007
Objective The objective of this study was to compare dental radiographs printed on glossy paper from calibrated low-cost printers with monitor display. Study design Three typical intraoral radiographs were selected and a questionnaire was developed with questions assessing accuracy and subjective quality. A test pattern was designed for printer calibration. After calibration, radiographs were printed on glossy paper with 3 ink-jet and 2 thermo-sublimation printers. Sixteen raters evaluated the printed radiographs, 9 of them also on standardized viewing monitors. Subjective ratings were compared, and an ROC-analysis based on expert-consensus monitor readings was performed. Results Low inter-…
La influencia de Pierre Bayle en la construcción de la segunda antinomia de la razón pura
2020
This paper aims to establish precisely the scope of Pierre Bayle’s influence on the construction of Kant’s second antinomy of pure reason, since there is a remarkable parallelism between this second cosmological conflict and the argument against extension of the article “Zeno of Elea” of Bayle’s Dictionary. It is argued that Bayle, employing the skeptical method in metaphysical research, has a major influence on the construction of the main arguments of the second antinomy and sets a precedent for its logical solution.
