Development of New Bio-based Materials Derived from Sicilian Agri-Food Industry Waste
2023
La necessità di soluzioni di materiali da costruzione a base biologica e sostenibili è aumentata drammaticamente nell’ultimo ventennio. Questa ricerca esplora i possibili modi per riutilizzare materiale di scarto a base biologica (come i gusci della frutta secca), derivati dall'industria agroalimentare, per la produzione di nuovi materiali da costruzione sani in linea con i principi dell'economia circolare. L’analisi di alcuni casi di studio precedenti e le attuali ricerche dimostrato la possibilità di riutilizzare i gusci della frutta secca per la realizzazione di nuovi componenti edilizi. Le attuali tendenze mostrano che le resine sintetiche sono sempre più usati come legante per incollar…
The Use of Waste Hazelnut Shells as a Reinforcement in the Development of Green Biocomposites.
2022
Biodegradable Mater-Bi (MB) composites reinforced with hazelnut shell (HS) powder were prepared in a co-rotating twin-screw extruder followed by compression molding and injection molding. The effects of reinforcement on the morphology, static and dynamic mechanical properties, and thermal and rheological properties of MB/HS biocomposites were studied. Rheological tests showed that the incorporation of HS significantly increased the viscosity of composites with non-Newtonian behavior at low frequencies. On the other hand, a scanning electron microscope (SEM) examination revealed poor interfacial adhesion between the matrix and the filler. The thermal property results indicated that HS could …

TSVD as a Statistical Estimator in the Latent Semantic Analysis Paradigm
2015
The aim of this paper is to present a new point of view that makes it possible to give a statistical interpretation of the traditional latent semantic analysis (LSA) paradigm based on the truncated singular value decomposition (TSVD) technique. We show how the TSVD can be interpreted as a statistical estimator derived from the LSA co-occurrence relationship matrix by mapping probability distributions on Riemanian manifolds. Besides, the quality of the estimator model can be expressed by introducing a figure of merit arising from the Solomonoff approach. This figure of merit takes into account both the adherence to the sample data and the simplicity of the model. In our model, the simplicity…
La chora e i notabili di Iasos in epoca ellenistico-romana. A proposito di un libro (e di uno studio) recente su Chalketor e Iasos
2017
L'analisi di una recente monografia storico-epigrafica di Thibaut Boulay e Anne-Valérie Pont su Chalketor di Caria (2014) e di uno studio della stessa Pont sui proprietari terrieri di Iasos (2016) offre l'occasione per discutere alcuni aspetti riguardanti la chora di Iasos e l'appartenenza del villaggio di Chalketor a questo territorio, l'attribuzione di Iasos ai distretti giudiziari (conventus, dioikeseis) di Mylasa e quindi di Alabanda all'interno della provincia Asia, il ruolo politico e socio-economico dei notabili iasei e l'ascesa di alcuni di essi alla classe senatoria. The analysis of a recent historical-epigraphical monograph on Chalketor of Caria (2014) by Thibaut Boulay and Anne-V…
Reshaping civic space: some remarks on the transformations of the towns of Roman Sicily in the late Republic and early Empire
2018
Recent scholarship pointed out how the towns of Sicily experienced wide urbanistic and architectural transformations during the Hellenistic period. After the long debate on the chronology of the phenomena of material growth and dense urbanization shown by the archaeological record, that previously had been assigned exclusively to the Early Hellenistic period, it’s now generally accepted that several cities, especially in North-Western Sicily, reshaped their urban panoplia after the Roman conquest of the island, in the 2nd-1st centuries B.C., renovating extensively both civic and private buildings. Less known are the further transformations of the urban landscape between the late Republican …
Halaesa Arconidea (Tusa, Messina). Primi risultati dagli scavi delle fortificazioni, settore nord-est.
2023
This report describes the activities and results of two years of archaeological excavations carried out by the University of Palermo at the site of Halaesa, in northern Sicily. The excavations revealed the structure of the ancient city walls (maybe built in two different phases, during the Late Hellenistic/Early Roman peri-od) and the presence of a tank close to the wall, connected to the defense sistem.
I volti del “Candide”: il romanzo di Voltaire, il musical di Bernstein e le sue varianti
2007
Il saggio ripercorre la genesi del "Candide" di Leonard Bernstein, dalla prima stesura del 1956 sino alla cosiddetta "final revised version" del 1989. Inoltre vengono analizzati e descritti gli sviluppi drammaturgici e i vari episodi musicali dell'opera.
Revising Ovid’s Metamorphoses: Dramatizing the Mythical in Mary Shelley’s Proserpine
2017
This contribution intends to assess the web of intertextual references in Mary Shelley’s drama Proserpine (1820), an early example of Romantic interest in revisionist mythology. The few critical efforts on the text focus on its transposition of the Ovidian narrative and its proto-feminist instances of mythical revisionism. Shelley’s adaptation primarily concerns characterization, structure and intended audience. In light of Ostriker’s (1984) suggestion that revisionist myth-making in women’s literary production constitutes a significant reshaping of shared culture and personal identity, Proserpine generally reads as a tale of defiance against patriarchal violence. The thoroughness of the ex…
Paleobiologia dell'immagine. Sul futuro della cultura visuale
2022
The attention of contemporary visual culture for the immemorial dimensions of our visual experience can begin, symbolically, with the volume that Tom Mitchell, then an established literary theorist but with particular attention to images and their social circulation, dedicates 1998 to the Image of Dinosaurs in Global Pop Culture, The Last Dinosaur Book. Apparently it is a book about a pop icon, conceived on the long wave of the revival inaugurated by Steven Spielberg's film, but in reality it is a text of unsurpassed theoretical and methodological lucidity, worthy of appearing among the masterpieces of contemporary visual culture.
