Invenzione, composizione e tempo nell’architettura di Giuseppe Samonà; Invention, Composition and Time in the Architecture of Giuseppe Samonà
2016
Una riflessione su alcune costanti presenti nell’opera di Giuseppe Samonà deve anticipare un approfondimento dedicato esclusivamente alle centrali termiche realizzate in Sicilia dal 1955 al 1962. Si vogliono inquadrare le ragioni di alcune scelte senza per questo avere la pretesa di raggiungere un’esaustività critica rispetto alle molte questioni offerte dall’ampia produzione teorica e progettuale di Samonà. Se si osserva l’architettura di Samonà, in termini di invenzione e composizione ci si accorge come la cosiddetta “rivoluzione miracolosa”, non è una frattura ma una sorta di aggiornamento nel “già costruito” preso a riferimento. Il procedere di Samonà assoggettando frammenti e il rielab…
Il restauro del moderno: la centrale termoelettrica di Giuseppe Samonà, Augusta (SR)
2014
Negli anni Sessanta, l’industria elettrica era la forza motrice del processo di industrializzazione in Sicilia. La centrale termoelettrica di Augusta fu la prima grande opera a lanciare lo sviluppo dell’isola, partendo dalla costa sudorientale. Nel 1956, l’incarico della sua progettazione fu assegnato a Giuseppe Samonà, uno dei più importanti architetti italiani del XX secolo, a quell’epoca preside dello IUAV. La centrale, adesso dismessa, che può considerarsi come un pregevole esempio di architettura industriale, si trova all’interno del polo petrolchimico di Augusta, in connessione diretta con il porto e la città. Si tratta di un luogo storicamente estremamente stratificato, in cui la cit…
Regional industrial restructuring: Asset modification and alignment for digitalization
2020
This paper provides a conceptual framework to understand the innovation‐based restructuring of industries in a regional context. The framework includes how firms create new assets, reuse existing assets, and overcome hampering barriers to support innovation processes. The framework also covers how such asset modifications take place at the innovation system level. A core argument is that innovation activity is strengthened and regional restructuring supported when firms’ internal assets are aligned with assets at the regional innovation system level. We illustrate the framework with empirical examples of how digitalization as an innovation process takes place in firms in traditional manufac…
An Analysis of Flash Page Reuse With WOM Codes
2018
Flash memory is prevalent in modern servers and devices. Coupled with the scaling down of flash technology, the popularity of flash memory motivates the search for methods to increase flash reliability and lifetime. Erasures are the dominant cause of flash cell wear, but reducing them is challenging because flash is a write-once medium— memory cells must be erased prior to writing. An approach that has recently received considerable attention relies on write-once memory (WOM) codes, designed to accommodate additional writes on write-once media. However, the techniques proposed for reusing flash pages with WOM codes are limited in their scope. Many focus on the coding theory alone, whereas o…
L’high Line Elevated Parkway : metamorfosi di un’infrastruttura in riconversione
2013
The reuse of the abandoned High Line Elevated Parkway, claimed and partnered by the association Friends of the High Line, is based on certain features of the former, obsolete, viaduct which runs trough the urban tissue nearly 30 feet in the air. Inspired by the unexpected beauty of the lush wilderness that has converted the High Line’s tracks into a spontaneous greenway since 1980s, the design team has been led by James Corner – Field Operation, with Diller & Scofi dio + Renfro and Piet Oudolf. Sublimating the old traces of over 20 years of abandon, the project is founded on a holistic approach that embodies the new dominant paradigm marked by the growing importance of recycling, slowness a…
Wastewater Reuse Effects on Soil Hydraulic Conductivity
2004
The wastewater total suspended solids (TSS) concentration effects on the saturated hydraulic conductivity, \iK\ds, of a clay and a loam soil were investigated on laboratory repacked soil cores by a constant head permeameter. Both municipal wastewater (MW) and artificial wastewater (AW) with different TSS concentrations were used, with the aim to evaluate, by comparison, the effects of biological activity. The development of a surface sealed layer was investigated in loam soil columns supplied with AW and equipped with water manometers at different depths to detect the hydraulic head gradient changes. In the loam soil, \iK\ds reduced to about 80% of the initial value after infiltration of 17…
An MDE Approach for Rapid Prototyping and Implementation of Dynamic Reconfigurable Systems
2015
This article presents a co-design methodology based on RecoMARTE, an extension to the well-known UML MARTE profile, which is used for the specification and automatic generation of Dynamic and Partially Reconfigurable Systems-on-Chip (DRSoC). This endeavor is part of a larger framework in which Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) techniques are extensively used for modeling and via model transformations, generating executable models, which are exploited by implementation tools to create reconfigurable systems. More specifically, the methodological aspects presented in this article are concerned with expediting the conception and implementation of the hardware platform and the integration of corre…
Etude de la régulation transcriptionnelle des lymphocytes T CD4 dans un contexte de cancer : application en immunothérapie anticancéreuse
2015
Immune surveillance of tumors is based on the ability of effector cells of the immune system to detect and eliminate the cancer cells. Notwithstanding, the complete and spontaneous regression of established cancers was observed only in very few cases. The failure of cancer resolution by the immune system could result from the combination of several factors: i) inadequate immune response related to a low tumor immunogenicity, ii) incompetent immune system consecutively to induced or acquired immunodeficiencies and iii) the selection of resistant tumor variants able to thwart immune surveillance or subverting immune responses. Developing novel cancer immunotherapy strategies leading to potent…
Research data sharing in Spain: Exploring determinants, practices, and perceptions
2020
This work provides an overview of a Spanish survey on research data, which was carried out within the framework of the project Datasea at the beginning of 2015. It is covered by the objectives of sustainable development (goal 9) to support the research. The purpose of the study was to identify the habits and current experiences of Spanish researchers in the health sciences in relation to the management and sharing of raw research data. Method: An electronic questionnaire composed of 40 questions divided into three blocks was designed. The three Section s contained questions on the following aspects: (A) personal information
Advanced RDB-to-RDF/OWL Mapping Facilities in RDB2OWL
2011
We present advanced features of RDB2OWL mapping specification language that allows expressing RDB-to-RDF/OWL mappings in a concise and human comprehensible way. The RDB2OWL mappings can be regarded as documentation of the database-to-ontology relation. The RDB2OWL language uses the OWL ontology structure as a backbone for mapping specification by placing the database link information into the annotations for ontology classes and properties. Its features include reuse of database table key information, user defined scalar and aggregate functions, table-based functions and multiclass conceptualization that is essential to keep mappings compact in case when large tables are mapped onto several…
