Byzantine aqueducts of Constantinople outside the city
No full textThis dataset is related to the PhD research of Francesca Ruggeri, published in the thesis "Engineering the Byzantine Water Supply of Constantinople: mapping, hydrology and hydraulics of the long aqueducts outside the City" (2018) http://hdl.handle.net/1842/31521. This aims at providing additional material resulting from the GIS work presented in Chapter 5 of the thesis. Archaeological survey data were available from previous campaigns carried out by Prof. James Crow in the years 1995-2009 in Turkish Thrace. Such data were systematically reassessed and organised by the author to create a comprehensive database of the remains of the Byzantine aqueducts of Constantinople.
This dataset includes:
maps of the Byzantine aqueducts and related features, as image files [map];
map locations viewable in Google Earth/Google Maps, as .kmz files [kmz];
shapefiles of Water Supply route and features for GIS use [shp];
lists of features (bridges, tunnels, channels), as Excel files [excel].
All maps and GIS features were created in ESRI ArcMap by F Ruggeri.This dataset includes:

Ruggeri recites Pirandello. Story of an author and his interpreter.
No full textreservedObiettivo principale della tesi è la ricostruzione dei rapporti tra Luigi Pirandello e Ruggero Ruggeri, tra i più significativi interpreti della produzione teatrale del girgentino, al fine di delineare gli spazi di influenza dell’attore nei processi creativi del drammaturgo. La scrittura per la scena non può infatti prescindere né dalle necessità dell’interprete di veder valorizzate le proprie virtù recitative, né dall’esigenza dell’autore di predisporre un testo adatto alla compagnia che lo rappresenterà; e questo vale tanto più se a fronteggiarsi sono un attore d’esperienza come Ruggeri e un uomo di teatro del calibro di Pirandello. Il drammaturgo anticipa spesso, infatti, in numerose e ricchissime lettere indirizzate all’interprete, temi e contenuti delle pièces che va scrivendo per Ruggeri, accogliendone interessi e orientamenti teatrali; viceversa, l’attore insiste per ottenere dal girgentino opere sempre nuove da mettere in scena e addirittura avanza pretese sui testi, suggerendo modifiche e correzioni. Testimonianze di una ravvicinata collaborazione tra i due, le informazioni contenute nel carteggio vanno poi senz’altro fatte intersecare con il repertorio di Ruggeri, secondo cruciale asse di riferimento della nostra indagine: non solo i testi che Pirandello compone su misura per lui, ma l’intero ventaglio spettacolare a disposizione dell’interprete, che ci permette di ricostruire con efficacia le modalità con cui l’autore si inserisce gradualmente nella “drammaturgia d’attore” ruggeriana e nel contesto spettacolare dei primi decenni del Novecento.The main objective of the thesis is to reconstruct the relationship between Luigi Pirandello and Ruggero Ruggeri, one of the most significant interpreters of the dramatist’s production, in order to outline the actor's influence over Pirandello's creative processes. Theatrical writing cannot ignore, indeed, the actor’s necessity to showcase his own acting talents or the playwright’s need to compose a text suitable for the company that will perform it; and this is especially true when the collaboration involves an experienced actor like Ruggeri and a theatrical personality like Pirandello. The playwright often anticipates, in numerous and interesting letters to the interpreter, the themes and contents of the pièces he is writing for Ruggeri, accommodating the actor’s interests and theatrical sensibilities; vice versa, the actor constantly demands new plays and even makes claims on the texts, suggesting changes and corrections. These informations documented in the correspondence, that show a close collaboration, must be confronted with Ruggeri’s repertoire: not only the plays Pirandello wrote specifically for him but also the other works performed by the actor, allowing us to reconstruct how Pirandello gradually becomes familiar with Ruggeri’s “actor dramaturgy” and the early XXth century’s theatrical landscape

Fourth ventricle meningiomas: a rare entity
No full textFourth ventricle meningiomas (FVMs) are rare, often misdiagnosed, lesions. To the best of our knowledge, 47 cases have been reported in the literature: we describe our series of three cases treated at our Institution, focusing on some diagnostic tips and intraoperative features of these tumours. Our three patients have a history of headache. Gait disturbances, vomiting and/or diplopia complicated the clinical picture before the referral at our Department. The operations were uneventful, and the patients fully recovered from neurological symptoms. They are free of recurrence at a median follow-up of 19 years. FVMs are rare lesions, which are difficult to differentiate preoperatively from the much more common ependymomas. A preoperative distinction would be extremely advantageous: indeed, although both tumours share similar radiological and clinical patterns, they clearly differ as to surgical difficulty and outcome. In fact, meningiomas are comparatively easier to remove, granting better clinical results

No full textThe objective of this study was to describe step by step our surgical technique of laminotomy and analyze our series with regard to spinal deformities (risk and predisposing factors), postoperative pain and rate of postoperative contusions. Data regarding patients who underwent our technique of laminotomy (N = 40, mean follow-up: 52 ms) (N = 40) between 2002 and 2006 were retrospectively evaluated. The technique used is illustrated in depth. Chronic pain was present in 30% with a mean score of 3/10 cm (Graphic Rating Scale). Postoperative kyphoses occurred in three patients, all below 35 years of age and with laminotomies which involved C2 and/or C7. None of these deformities required further surgical treatment because they were self-limiting or asymptomatic at a mean follow-up of 52 months. Based on the results, our technique proved to be safe and effective in terms of late deformities, blood loss, early and chronic postoperative pain and protection from postoperative accidents over the surgical site. © 2011 Springer-Verlag
