Barbara Sokołowska Brukalski. Analisi grafica della Casa a Niegolewskiego Street
2016
Il progetto che si intende analizzare attraverso il ridisegno critico digitale è la casa-studio a Niegolewskiego Street di Barbara Sokołowska del 1927-28, progettata per lei e suo marito, Stanislaw Brukalski, ispirata alle idee del Neoplasticismo, ai dipinti di Mondrian e al lavoro De Stijl. Nei suoi dettagli la casa sembra riprendere quella a Utrecht di G.T. Rietveld del 1924, con un soggiorno molto ampio, uno studio che si affaccia su una doppia altezza e una scala a spirale che collega i due ambienti in un unico spazio definito da piani traslati e volumi puri. The project analyzed in this paper by the critical and digital redrawing is the House on Niegolewskiego Street of 1927-28, design…
Helena Niemirowska Syrkus: Graphic analysis of the ‘House of Dr Nelken in Warsaw’
2017
In 1920s and 1930s, Warsaw was becoming one of the hubs of propagation of the new architecture, thanks to the geographical contiguity with the Weimar Republic, which allowed the formation of young minds aimed at a blending of architecture, art and music. In this cultural context, a young Helena Niemirowska Syrkus supported the idea that urban planning and architecture, conceived as art forms, had to target at the definition of a language able of expressing the great revolutionary step achieved in the social, economic and political life of that time, through new configurations. According to Helena Niemirowska, who shared the avant-garde thesis, to become an artist the modern architect had to…
U.I.R.D.A. – Unbuilt Italian Rationalism Digital Archive
2018
For twenty years, the architecture of Italian rationalism through the digital modelling has been investigated. Very often, the production of a model and the consequent representation of tridimensional views, in many case studies, as outcome of the research on architecture have been considered. Actually, the digital model, intended as a critical tool, has to be conceived as a ‘starting point' for graphic analysis of architecture and not as the outcome. Indeed, it is associated to other graphics, sometimes not ‘deducted' from the model, useful for the understanding/translation of architecture. The construction of the model is not the construction of a simple image, operation, which is often c…
Sedative Effect and Standardization Parameters of Herbal Medicinal Product Obtained from the Ocimum americanum L. Herb
2021
Abstract Sedative phytomedications continue to play an important role in the management of a considerable amount of anxiety symptoms because of the various side effects of synthetic sedatives and tranquilizers. However, developing new herbal drugs needs their appropriate quality control according to the relevant requirements. The aim of the study was to determine the sedative properties of the tinctures obtained from the American basil (Ocimum americanum L., Lamiaceae Martinov family) herb and to develop the standardization parameters for the promising herbal medicinal product. The open field test was used to evaluate the sedative effect of the prepared tinctures: (1) with the added of O. a…
Can histographic analysis of apparent diffusion coefficient help discriminate between benign and malignant nodes in head and neck squamous cell carci…
2011
Objective: To investigate histographic analysis of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements as discriminators of benign from malignant lymph nodes in patients with head and neck (H&N) squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) Materials and Methods: Seventeen patients with H&N SCC staged for nodal disease using anatomical MRI, contrast enhanced CT and ultrasound ± fine needle aspiration gave informed consent for additional MR diffusion weighted imaging (DWI). Axial DWI was performed by short tau inversion recovery (STIR) echo planar imaging and trace weighted images obtained b 0, 50, 100, 300, 600 and 1000. Image analysis was conducted using Jim 5.0. Nodal disease and contralateral benign nodal…
Dialoghi fra storia e disegno: il progetto di Enrico Del Debbio per la Casa del Balilla di Enna
2022
Attraverso il rapporto dialogico tra due diverse discipline afferenti al campo dell’architettura, come la storia e il disegno, in questo saggio si tenterà di indagare un’opera sconosciuta di Enrico Del Debbio, realizzata difformemente rispetto all’ipotesi progettuale: la Casa del Balilla per la città di Enna. Il progetto originario dell’architetto carrarese sarà ricostruito digitalmente a partire dall’esaustiva documentazione grafico-progettuale ritrovata presso il MAXXI di Roma. Un processo esegetico durante il quale si porterà alla luce un frammento finora inedito, quantunque infinitesimale della storia dell’architettura italiana, mediante l’applicazione combinata degli strumenti della Sc…
Il Moderno e la Provincia : riflessioni grafiche su uno spazio mai nato: la Casa del Balilla di Luigi Moretti a Bitonto
2020
Luigi Moretti è stato indubbiamente uno dei più grandi architetti italiani del ‘900. La sua fortuna iniziò durante il ventennio fascista, quando progettò diversi edifici per l’Opera Nazionale Balilla, tra cui la sede di Bitonto, edificio non realizzato di dimensioni contenute, a cui la storiografia ha dedicato pochissimo spazio, derubricandolo forse ad un’esperienza di secondo piano nella carriera dell’architetto romano. Ma è davvero così? La località, centro minore (ricco di storia e tradizioni) nella provincia del Sud Italia, può avere influenzato le scelte progettuali? In che modo? Si può parlare di un progetto chiaro dello spazio? L’eventuale confronto con le altre Case del Balilla cost…
Impact of Parkinson?s disease on the efficiency of masticatory cycles : electromyographic analysis
2019
Background This study evaluated the efficiency of masticatory cycles by means of the linear envelope of the electromyographic signal of the masseter and temporalis muscles in individuals with Parkinson’s disease. Material and Methods Twenty-four individuals were assigned into two groups: with Parkinson’s disease, average ± SD 66.1 ± 3.3 years (n = 12) and without the disease, average ± SD: 65.8 ± 3.0 years (n = 12). The MyoSystem-I P84 electromyograph was used to analyze the activity of masticatory cycles through the linear envelope integral in habitual mastication of peanuts and raisins and non-habitual mastication of Parafilm M®. Results There was statistically significant difference (P ≤…
Morbidity and mortality in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in the 1980's.
1993
The purpose of the present study was to examine the general morbidity and mortality rates in the three Baltic republics — Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania during a decade before the collapse of the Soviet Union. Official statistical data were used to compare morbidity and mortality rates. A method of standardization and life table functions were employed. Soviet morbidity statistics were predominantly descriptive, and based mainly on crude rates registered cases of illness during a year per 100 000 population. The death rates during the Soviet period are a better indicator of the health of the populations than more specific health indicators. A general deterioration of the ecological, social …
Visual Perception and Graphic Analysis. The Pattern of Inlays in the Cathedral of Palermo
2017
The Cathedral of Palermo is one of the monuments belonging to the Arab-Norman Itinerary, declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2015. This text uses geometric analysis to describe some of the inlaid circular designs from the eastern façade, the corner towers and the apses. The cataloguing of the two-tone geometric motifs also reveals aspects that can be linked back to the laws of visual perception. Hence, the text investigates these aspects based on a new reading. In fact, decomposing these elements based on the experience of their perception also facilitates the recognition of elementary figures. The attempt made in this brief text intends to induce a new perceptive awareness resulting f…
