Short implants (8mm) versus longer implants (≥8mm) with lateral sinus floor augmentation in posterior atrophic maxilla: A meta-analysis of RCT`s in h…
2019
Background One of the greatest challenges that dentists face today is to rehabilitate severe atrophied alveolar ridges in partially and completely edentulous patients with implants. Despite the high survival rate of implants placed next to sinus elevation, this technique presents complications that can be avoided by placing short implants, an option that also presents high survival rates. For this reason, the aim of this study is to compare the survival rate, marginal bone loss and complications associated with short implants (<8 mm) versus longer implants (≥8mm) placed with lateral sinus floor elevation in posterior atrophic maxillae. Material and Methods A literature search was conducted …
FORUM paper: The significance of soils and soil science towards realization of the UN sustainable development goals (SDGs)
2016
Abstract. In this FORUM paper we discuss how soil scientists can help to reach the recently adopted UN Sustainable Development Goals in the most effective manner. Soil science, as a land-related discipline has important links to several of the SDGs which are demonstrated through the functions of soils and the ecosystem services that are linked to those functions. We explore and discuss how soil scientists can rise to the challenge both internally, in terms of our procedures and practices, and externally in terms of our relations with colleague scientists in other disciplines, diverse groups of stakeholders and the policy arena. To meet these goals we recommend the following steps to be take…

The Erythrocytic Hypothesis of Brain Energy Crisis in Sporadic Alzheimer Disease: Possible Consequences and Supporting Evidence
2020
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a fatal form of dementia of unknown etiology. Although amyloid plaque accumulation in the brain has been the subject of intensive research in disease pathogenesis and anti-amyloid drug development; the continued failures of the clinical trials suggest that amyloids are not a key cause of AD and new approaches to AD investigation and treatment are needed. We propose a new hypothesis of AD development based on metabolic abnormalities in circulating red blood cells (RBCs) that slow down oxygen release from RBCs into brain tissue which in turn leads to hypoxia-induced brain energy crisis; loss of neurons; and progressive atrophy preceding cognitive dysfunction. This …

Teaching the restoration of monuments at Palermo: the state of the art
2008
Il contributo spiega le modalità dell'insegnamento del restauro nella facoltà di Architettura di Palermo, illustrandone i contenuti anche con la preparazione di tesi di laurea The Architecture Faculty of the University of Palermo, founded in 19 5, is the oldest in Sicily; a Faculty of Architecture based in Siracusa was added in the 1990s and is dependant on the University of Catania; while in 2005 teaching began at the University Kore based in Enna, which o ers a three-year degree course in the Science of Architecture as part of its department of Fine Arts Conservation. The faculty of architecture of the University of Palermo provides a ve-year architecture course (cl 4/S) as well as anothe…
Utopia e distopia nel progetto digitale
2020
Sono passati più di venti anni dalla pubblicazione di Being Digital, il celebre libro di Nicholas Negroponte, all’interno del quale il fondatore del MIT Media Lab affermava che “il passaggio dagli atomi ai bit è irreversibile e inarrestabile”. Tale preannunciata rivoluzione, sembra oggi giunta a una fase più matura coinvolgendo sia la sfera pubblica che quella privata, le professioni, la politica e l’economia. Il digitale, facilitando e razionalizzando di giorno in giorno processi precedentemente analogici, è diventato ubiquo. Se da un lato gli aspetti positivi di queste trasformazioni sono evidenti, altrettanto palesi appaiono le aporie: dalla dipendenza tecnologica al rapporto con i socia…
Multi-Technique Diagnostic Investigation in View of the Restoration of “The Glory of St. Barbara” Painting by Mattia Preti
2022
The present paper illustrates the results of a diagnostic investigation performed on the oil on canvas painting “The Glory of St. Barbara” (1680–1688) by Mattia Preti. The painting is located inside the St. Barbara Church in Taverna (Catanzaro, Italy), the city that gave birth to the artist. In situ, non-invasive studies, by applying X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy, along with laboratory micro-destructive analytical investigations, by employing electron probe microanalyses (EPMA) coupled with energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS) and micro-Raman (µ-Raman) spectroscopy, were combined to retrieve the color palette and identify the painting technique and style of t…
John Ruskin, dal restauro come distruzione al ripristino filologico
2019
Contrariamente a quanto si crede comunemente, l'influenza del pensiero di John Ruskin sull'evoluzione del concetto di restauro in Italia è stata maggiore di quanto possiamo immaginare. La maggior parte dei giudizi sulle teorie dello studioso inglese fanno riferimento al suo lavoro 'Le Sette Lampade dell'Architettura' del 1849, e in particolare al capitolo della 'Lampada della Memoria'. La citazione delle sue famose massime è alla base di ogni valutazione sulla sua completa avversione a qualsiasi possibile forma di restauro. Il noto aforisma «restauro è una bugia dall'inizio alla fine», vale a dire la distruzione più completa che un'architettura possa subire, può confermare che il giudizio d…
