Il restauro virtuale dei cicli pittorici
2011
The restoration of the frescoes. Virtual restoration supplies conventional methods and techniques of restoration, including a number of integrated methodologies of computer graphics, both 2D an 3D, with the aim of rendering an artistic monument into its full or nearly integrity.
Il restauro virtuale dei sistemi decorativi e studio ricostruttivo dell’insula
2018
Il presente contributo rientra nell’ambito di in una più vasta linea di ricerca denominata “Progetto Hierapolis Virtuale”, sviluppata a partire dal 2007 e finalizzata alla ricostruzione tridimensionale degli edifici della città. A differenza di altre ricerche condotte sui monumenti di Hierapolis, l’attuale studio riguarda solamente una singola fase edilizia dell’insula, relativa alla grande stagione monumentale di età protobizantina riferibile a un periodo posto tra il VI e la prima metà del VII secolo. Tale scelta è stata dettata unicamente dalla quantità e dalla qualità dei dati archeologici utili ad uno studio ricostruttivo il più possibile scientifico per contribuire ad una maggiore con…
Il contributo delle tecnologie digitali per la valorizzazione del patrimonio rupestre pugliese
2016
The essay concerns the recent work carried out as part of a multidisciplinary research on some rocky churches in the southern Apulia, conducted in collaboration with the Chair of History of Medieval Art of the University of Salento and of the University of Bari. The work aims at the knowledge and the monitoring of the fresco paintings inside three rocky environments, two of which are located in Lama d’Antico, in Fasano (BR), and the other two in Vaste di Poggiardo and Giurdignano (LE). The contribution illustrates methods and data acquired during the fieldwork, carried out through a multidisciplinary approach. From the image-based Techniques for the survey in Camera-Scanner to the restituti…
Issues Related to the Restoration of Mirrors of the Wooden paliotto della chiesa del Santissimo Crocifisso all’Albergheria, Sicily (Italy)
2017
ABSTRACTIn this work, the decision-making process involved in the restoration of the eighteenth century paliotto ligneo (wooden altar frontal) della chiesa del Santissimo Crocifisso all’Albergheria of Palermo is presented. Earlier research concerning mirror restoration was based on only a few case studies and the proposed techniques were not suitable for the artwork here. As a consequence, it was necessary to re-examine theories and protocols of modern restoration to plan an appropriate intervention of the altar frontal. Since in this artwork the role of mirrors is not to give back images, as usual, but rather to create special light effects and play of lights, this work aims to find an app…
Pienamente conservare per pienamente fruire: il paradigma della Vucciria di Palermo nel Progetto I-Access
2021
Già dal nome la città di Palermo rivela una delle sue peculiarità più significative, ovvero la capacità di accogliere: dal greco «Pan ormos» - tutto porto. In generale, consapevole della vocazione di Palermo, il mercato della Vucciria è stato scelto per illustrare i contenuti del Progetto Interreg Italia-Malta, I-Access di Implementare l'accessibilità alla fruizione e alla conoscenza del centro storico urbano e per le somiglianze e le differenze riscontrate nel La Valletta e Palermo. Il progetto I-ACCESS ha verificato un metodo per promuovere l'accessibilità in senso culturale e fisico e questa esperienza può essere ripetuta in altri centri storici. La conoscenza della realtà materiale del …
Long-term recovery of stream habitat structure and benthic invertebrate communities from in-stream restoration
2002
Headwater streams channelized for water transport of timber in Finland are being restored to their pre-channelization state. The primary motivation is the enhancement of sport fisheries, but restoration probably has profound impacts also on other stream organisms. We assessed how such ‘‘single-goal’’ restorations affect benthic macroinvertebrate communities. We revisited the streams sampled by Laasonen et al. [Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems 8 (1998)] in the early 1990s when the streams had been recently restored. In 1997, the recovery period of these streams ranged from 4 to 8 years. Habitat structure among the stream types represented a distinct recovery gradient, w…
Reducing effects of aberration in 3D fluorescence imaging using wavefront coding with a radially symmetric phase mask.
2016
In this work, a wavefront encoded (WFE) imaging system built using a squared cubic phase mask, designed to reduce the sensitivity of the imaging system to spherical aberration, is investigated. The proposed system allows the use of a space-invariant image restoration algorithm, which uses a single PSF, to restore intensity distribution in images suffering aberration, such as sample–induced aberration in thick tissue. This provides a computational advantage over depth-variant image restoration algorithms developed previously to address this aberration. Simulated PSFs of the proposed system are shown to change up to 25% compared to the 0 µm depth PSF (quantified by the structural similarity i…
Experimental validation of a customized phase mask designed to enable efficient computational optical sectioning microscopy through wavefront encodin…
2017
In this paper, wavefront-encoded (WFE) computational optical sectioning microscopy (COSM) using a fabricated square cubic (SQUBIC) phase mask, designed to render the system less sensitive to depth-induced aberration, is investigated. The WFE-COSM system is characterized by a point spread function (PSF) that does not vary as rapidly with imaging depth compared to the conventional system. Thus, in WFE-COSM, image restoration from large volumes can be achieved using computationally efficient space-invariant (SI) algorithms, thereby avoiding the use of depth-variant algorithms. The fabricated SQUBIC phase mask was first evaluated and found to have a 75% fidelity compared to the theoretical desi…
Biological and technical complications of tilted implants in comparison with straight implants supporting fixed dental prostheses. A systematic revie…
2018
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the implant failure, marginal bone loss (MBL), and other biological or technical complications of restorations supported by tilted and straight implants after at least 3 years in function. METHODS Electronic and manual searches were performed in MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, and OpenGrey to identify clinical studies published up to December 2017. After duplicate study selection and data extraction, the risk of bias was assessed with the ROBINS-I tool. Random-effects meta-analyses of relative risks (RRs) or mean differences (MD) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were performed, followed by subgroup/sensitivity analyses and application of the GRADE approach. R…
Fracture Resistance of Partial Indirect Restorations Made With CAD/CAM Technology. A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
2019
Background: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the fracture resistance and survival rate of partial indirect restorations inlays, onlays, and overlays fabricated using computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology from ceramics, composite resin, resin nanoceramic, or hybrid ceramic and to analyze the influence of proximal box elevation on fracture resistance. Materials and methods: This systematic review was based on guidelines proposed by the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA). An electronic search was conducted in databases US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health …
