Motivi letterari nei libri per l’infanzia di Paolo Di Paolo
No full textThe article, organised in the form of a discussion, aims to analyse the themes and motifs of Paolo Di Paolo’s works that are addressed to young audiences. The author has recently published a large number of volumes directed just at younger readers. When beholding the titles that constitute the author’s bibliography, the reader is struck by Di Paolo’s predisposition to transform literary classics: as much in Giacomo il signor bambino as in the edition of the Divina Commedia, the author’s goal is to try to reach his new readers. Therefore, Di Paolo proves to be a prolific author of the genre; in fact, in his bibliography, volumes of fairy tales with a classic slant, such as La mucca volante, are listed as well.L’articolo contiene un’analisi di temi e di motivi delle opere di Paolo Di Paolo dirette al pubblico più piccolo. L’autore negli ultimi anni ha pubblicato un cospicuo numero di volumi indirizzati, infatti, proprio ai lettori più giovani. Ciò che stupisce scorgendo i titoli che costituiscono la bibliografia dell’autore, è la predisposizione a trasformare i classici della letteratura: tanto in Giacomo il signor bambino quanto nell’edizione della Divina Commedia l’obiettivo è cercare di raggiungere i lettori più giovani. Di Paolo si dimostra, quindi, un autore prolifico del genere, tant’è che nell’elenco non mancano volumi fiabeschi dal taglio classico come La mucca volante. Analizzare le opere giovanili dello scrittore costituisce un fatto inedito
Pier Paolo Pasolini e la società: il "sogno di una cosa" travolto dalla "nuova preistoria"
No full textL’articolo prende in esame – nel centenario della nascita – il “pensiero politico” di Pier Paolo Pasolini. Vengono pertanto scandagliati (soprattutto) i suoi scritti sulla società, ma frequenti sono le incursioni nella letteratura e soprattutto nel cinema di questo autore del tutto originale. Ne emerge lo spessore di concetti spesso usati dal poeta per analizzare e criticare il presente: Nuova Preistoria, nuovo capitalismo, consumismo, edonismo, il Potere, il Palazzo, il Processo, sviluppo e progresso, sacralità in primis. Si evidenzia inoltre come l’occhio e il giudizio di Pasolini siano stati principalmente guidati dalla passione e solo di rimando dalla ragione. Un ruolo non secondario nella sua percezione del reale ha inoltre assunto la sua omosessualità. Nella parte finale dello scritto si analizzano alcuni strumenti tecnici utilizzati dall’autore per svolgere la propria opera di comprensione del presente e della sua conseguente traduzione artistico-critica.The article examines - in the centenary of his birth - the "political thought" of Pier Paolo Pasolini.
Therefore, it scrutinizes (above all) his writings on society, but there are frequent incursions into the literature and especially into the cinema of this completely original author. What emerges is the depth of concepts often used by the poet to analyze and criticize the present: New Prehistory, new capitalism, consumerism, hedonism, Power, the Palace, the Process, development and progress, sacredness in primis. It also shows how Pasolini's eye and judgment were mainly guided by passion and only by reason. His homosexuality also played a significant role in his perception of reality. In the final part of the paper we analyze some technical tools used by the author to carry out his work of understanding the present and its consequent artistic-critical translation
L'analisi metabolomica nello screening delle neoplasie indeterminate della tiroide
No full textUna delle prime manifestazioni del carcinoma della tiroide è la presenza di un nodulo tiroideo clinicamente valutabile nel collo del paziente, un reperto clinico estremamente frequente nella popolazione. L'esclusione di una patologia maligna in un paziente con un nodulo tiroideo rimane quindi una sfida dell'attività medica, poiché richiede l'identificazione del carcinoma tiroideo fra numerose condizioni benigne maggiormente rappresentate.
L'agoaspirato gioca un ruolo essenziale, riducendo la percentuale di operazioni tiroidee non necessarie ed indirizzando i pazienti con carcinoma verso la chirurgia. Un'importante limitazione dell'agoaspirato è però la mancanza di sensibilità nella valutazione delle neoplasie a pattern follicolare, a causa dell'incapacità di differenziare lesioni benigne (adenomi follicolari) da quelle maligne (carcinoma follicolare o variante follicolare del carcinoma papillare), portando alla diagnosi di “neoplasia indeterminata” dal 10 al 30% dei casi. Le linee guida per il trattamento di questi pazienti indicano come necessaria l'asportazione chirurgica, poiché solo l'esame istologico definitivo è capace di una discriminazione sicura fra le forme benigne e maligne delle neoplasie follicolari. La percentuale di lesioni maligne nel gruppo “indeterminato” varia però dal 14% al 20%, indicando quindi che la maggior parte di questi pazienti è sottoposta ad una operazione chirurgica, e a tutti i rischi ad essa correlati, non necessaria. Per superare le limitazioni dell'esame citologico sono state sviluppate tecniche di immunoistochimica o basate su genomica e proteomica, che tuttavia non si sono dimostrate capaci di risolvere questo problema.
Più recentemente l'analisi metabolomica è stata proposta come una nuova metodologia in grado di completare le informazioni date dalla genomica e dalla proteomica, andando ad analizzare tutti i cambiamenti metabolici di un organismo vivente in risposta a fattori patologici o ambientali. In questo lavoro usiamo la spettroscopia di risonanza magnetica nucleare per individuare metaboliti di basso peso molecolare connessi a lesioni maligne della tiroide. Inizialmente abbiamo identificato le differenze metaboliche fra tessuti tiroidei sani e patologici, in un secondo tempo abbiamo testato l'efficienza dell'analisi metabolomica per discriminare fra neoplasie benigne e maligne e più specificatamente per la diagnosi delle neoplasie a pattern follicolare. Siccome lo scopo di questo progetto è di rendere questo metodo adatto ad un uso clinico, abbiamo infine focalizzato la nostra attenzione sull'analisi metabolomica degli agoaspirati
Mechanical Behaviour of Variable Nozzle Guide Vane Systems Based on Full-Scale Testing
No full textA full-scale test bench for the analysis of frictional and modal behavior of Nozzle Guide Vanes (NGV) is an advanced tool enabling high design accuracy for these components equipped in an increasing number of turboexpanders. This subassembly is a key feature enabling operational flexibility for the
expander. Great attention must be paid during the NGV’s design to the natural frequencies of its kinematic chain, which are influenced by internal clearances and by friction. In this paper the results of a testing campaign performed on an NGV assembly employing actual blade geometry are presented together with details concerning the test bench commissioning and set-up procedure. The testing campaign involves three different combinations of blade orientation and pre-load corresponding
to typical design conditions of the expander. In addition, two different bushing clearances values corresponding to worn out conditions were investigated. The measurements of the global friction coefficient based on actuator force detection are summarized. After that, the reconstruction of mode shapes based on experimental modal analysis is explained. The results highlight the importance of loading conditions on the actual value of friction force and their influence on blade natural frequencies. The testing campaign was used to properly validate Finite Element Models to be used for further investigations

At The Same Time. Essays and Speeches
No full textIn 2006 Paolo Dilonardo was chosen by the Susan Sontag Literary Estate as one of the editors of Sontag’s posthumous work. The access to Sontag private archives allowed him and Anne Jump to reconstruct form and intentions of the collection of essays Sontag was outlining in the last years of her life. Through the study of her manuscripts, Dilonardo and Jump prepared the essays for publication, restoring the original version of the pieces that were cut or edited at the time of first publication in magazines, and incorporating the corrections and edits the author made after that first publication. The result of their work is Susan Sontag, At the Same Time. Essays and Speeches, edited by Paolo Dilonardo and Anne Jump. Foreword by David Rieff, published first in the United States then in the U.K. The collection of essays edited by Dilonardo and Jump was then translated into French, Spanish, German and Portuguese. The Italian edition, translated by Paolo Dilonardo, was published by Mondadori in 2008
Data of cost-optimal solutions and retrofit design methods for school renovation in a warm climate
No full textAbstract"Efficient Solutions and Cost-Optimal Analysis for Existing School Buildings" (Paolo Maria Congedo, Delia D’Agostino, Cristina Baglivo, Giuliano Tornese, Ilaria Zacà) [1] is the paper that refers to this article. It reports the data related to the establishment of several variants of energy efficient retrofit measures selected for two existing school buildings located in the Mediterranean area. In compliance with the cost-optimal analysis described in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and its guidelines (EU, Directive, EU 244,) [2,3], these data are useful for the integration of renewable energy sources and high performance technical systems for school renovation. The data of cost-efficient high performance solutions are provided in tables that are explained within the following sections.The data focus on the describe school refurbishment sector to which European policies and investments are directed. A methodological approach already used in previous studies about new buildings is followed (Baglivo Cristina, Congedo Paolo Maria, D׳Agostino Delia, Zacà Ilaria, 2015; IlariaZacà, Delia D’Agostino, Paolo Maria Congedo, Cristina Baglivo; Baglivo Cristina, Congedo Paolo Maria, D’Agostino Delia, Zacà Ilaria, 2015; Ilaria Zacà, Delia D’Agostino, Paolo Maria Congedo, Cristina Baglivo, 2015; Paolo Maria Congedo, Cristina Baglivo, IlariaZacà, Delia D’Agostino,2015) [4–8]. The files give the cost-optimal solutions for a kindergarten (REF1) and a nursery (REF2) school located in Sanarica and Squinzano (province of Lecce Southern Italy). The two reference buildings differ for construction period, materials and systems.The eleven tables provided contain data about the localization of the buildings, geometrical features and thermal properties of the envelope, as well as the energy efficiency measures related to walls, windows, heating, cooling, dhw and renewables. Output values of energy consumption, gas emission and costs are given for a financial and a macro-economic analysis.This data article provides 288 and 96 combinations for REF1 and REF2, respectively. The output values are obtained using the software ProCasaClima 2015v.2.0
