Techniques de construction traditionnelles et techniques romaines dans le théâtre d’Althiburos et les monuments de spectacle de l’Afrique Proconsulai…
2023
The contribution aims to study the relationship between the traditional construction techniques of the territories of Proconsular Africa and those imported by the Romans and used in the construction of entertainment buildings, in particular theaters and amphitheatres, also taking into account the importation of typological models, starting from the “case study” of the theater of Althiburos. During the 1st and 2nd centuries AD there is a gradual introduction of Roman construction techniques, such as the opus caemaenticium, especially in the construction of substructures and vaults, sometimes with the importation of urban models, of techniques but also of Italic workers (just think of the opu…
From C–S–H to C–A–S–H: Experimental study and thermodynamic modelling
2015
Abstract It has long been known that the stoichiometry of C–S–H varies with the calcium hydroxide concentration in solution. However, this issue is still far from understood. We revisit it in both experimental and modelling aspects. A careful analysis of the solubility confirms the existence of three different C–S–H phases, defined as Ca 4 H 4 Si 5 O 16 , Ca 2 H 2 Si 2 O 7 and Ca 6 (HSi 2 O 7 ) 2 (OH) 2 , respectively. The variation of the Ca/Si ratio of the three phases has been described by surface reactions: the increase of the Si content is accounted for by silicate bridging, the increase of calcium content and the surface charge are accounted for by reactions involving silanol groups v…
STRUMENTI E METODI PER INTEGRARE GLI ASPETTI AMBIENTALI NELLA MANUTENZIONE DEL PATRIMONIO ARCHITETTONICO
2022
La corretta e costante applicazione della manutenzione può assumere un ruolo chiave per garantire la qualità del patrimonio costruito e il soddisfacimento delle più recenti classi di requisiti ambientali. A tal fine, è necessario che le strategie che guidano la programmazione delle attività di manutenzione siano modellate sulle caratteristiche del manufatto in esame. In Italia una larga parte degli edifici risulta edificata prima del 1946 e, molti di questi seppur non strettamente tutelati dalla legge, possono presentare rilevanti caratteri morfologici o costruttivi che vanno opportunamente conservati. La manutenzione, condotta in un’ottica sistemica e multiscalare, comprendendo interventi …
A procedure to calculate the I–V characteristics of thin-film photovoltaic modules using an explicit rational form
2015
Abstract Accurate models of the electrical behaviour of photovoltaic modules are effective tools for system design. One or two diode equivalent circuits have been widely used even though some mathematical difficulties were found dealing with implicit equations. In this paper, a new model based on a simple rational function, which does not contain any implicit exponential form, is presented. The model was conceived in order to be used with thin-film photovoltaic modules, whose current–voltage curves are characterised by very smooth shapes. The parameters of the model are evaluated by means of the derivatives of the issued characteristics in the short circuit and open circuit points at standa…
Restoration of the Zisa Palace, Palermo
1993
The building of the Zisa, commissioned by William I, began in 1164-1165; it was completed by William II in the years immediately following. It was built as a splendid place for rest and amusement, ...
A Paradigm Interpreting the City and the Analytic Network Process for the Management of Urban Transformations
2018
When urban and environmental transformations occur in areas where the equilibrium between nature and culture is complex and fragile, public ad-ministrations could decide to induce private investments using several tools, such as financial contributions to those projects of refurbishment that better re-spect the purpose of improving the environmental quality and of preserving the local architecture. Multicriteria models may support public decision process re-garding this issue, but it is essential to adopt a scientific paradigm that provides a major theoretical reference. This study proposes the development of a net-work model based on the scientific paradigm by Rizzo and the Analytic Net-wo…
Ring splitting of azetidin-2-ones via radical anions
2012
The radical anions of azetidin-2-ones, generated by UV-irradiation in the presence of triethylamine, undergo ring-splitting via N-C4 or C3-C4 bond breaking, leading to open-chain amides. This reactivity diverges from that found for the neutral excited states, which is characterised by alpha-cleavage. The preference for beta-cleavage is supported by DFT theoretical calculations on the energy barriers associated with the involved transition states. Thus, injection of one electron into the azetidin-2-one moiety constitutes a complementary activation strategy which may be exploited to produce new chemistry.
IL CANTIERE DEL COMPLESSO CARMELITANO DELL’ANNUNZIATA A TRAPANI NELLA SECONDA METÀ DEL CINQUECENTO
2016
Il complesso carmelitano dell’Annunziata a Trapani, costituito dalla chiesa e dal convento annesso (oggi sede del Museo Regionale Agostino Pepoli), appare come un’architettura fortemente stratificata, frutto di una lunga e complessa vicenda progettuale che si snoda dal XIV secolo fino alla metà del Settecento. Il presente studio intende contribuire alla conoscenza del cantiere dell’Annunziata nella seconda metà del Cinquecento, un periodo ancora poco indagato dalle ricerche finora condotte sulla fabbrica, offrendo in particolare alcune riflessioni sui maestri impegnati nella costruzione del complesso architettonico, a partire dall’esame della documentazione relativa alla gestione amministra…

 Title: Assessing the Tradition Building "Orin Tagan" Community of Kitaung Nita Sikka District
 "Orin tagan" is an elevated house with 1 meter height underneath space (lewu) in Nita Village, Sikka Regency. The interaction among different cultural groups resided in the island of Flores had influenced one another, particularly in house building tradition. Research on housebuilding tradition in Nita Village is still scarce, only a few researches focused on building tradition at Nita Village. So some researches are sought based on similar themes (theme: building tradition) and similar locations (location: Kampung Nita, Sikka Regency). This research problem formulation i…
Synthesis of the new ring system 6,8-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[3,4-h]quinazoline
2009
Abstract A convenient synthesis of the pyrrolo[3,4- h ]quinazoline ring system is reported. Our synthetic approach consisted of the annelation of a pyrimidine ring to an isoindole moiety using tetrahydroisoindole-4-ones as building blocks. The antiproliferative activity of the new compounds was investigated and one of them showed antitumor activity against all the 59 tested cell lines at micromolar concentrations (1.46–18.4 μM).
