    Reciprocal Implications Between Design and Construction Process of Timber Gridshell: Innovative Techniques of Representation in Architectural Design

    No full text
    This contribution focuses on the latest acquisitions of the Gridshell.it research group on active-bent timber gridshells. In particular, the main topic is related to the development of a new information technology design tool (GFFT 2.0) developed by Davide Rando for his Master's thesis in Architecture in January 2018 under the supervision of Sergio Pone and Daniele Lancia; this tool is a new version of the previous one developed in 2012 by Daniele Lancia and Andrea Fiore for their Master's Degree thesis called GFFT (Gridshell Form Finding Tool) (Pone et al., 2013). We will also describe the ultimate two projects to which we have committed ourselves from 2016 up to today as well as how the creation of the new IT tool was based on previous experiences influencing subsequent skills

    I cento fascicoli delle „Quellen und Forschungen aus italienischen Archiven und Bibliotheken“, 1898–2020

    On the occasion of the 100th issue of the „Quellen und Forschungen aus italienischen Archiven und Bibliotheken“, the article offers a retrospective look at the journal, with a focus on the medieval section. It highlights the presentation or edition of Vatican sources, both as a reflection of the Institute’s research and as a constant distinctive feature in the context of international journals. At the same time, the author stresses the journal’s openness to new topics following trends in medieval studies, alongside well-established issues, and the increasingly intense internationalisation resulting from collaboration with other researchers and institutes based in Rome, Italy and abroad. Finally, it expresses the hope that the journal may continue to be a means of fostering research on primary sources, especially in the context of the Repertorium Germanicum

    Esther Rando Burgos: Régimen Jurídico de la Gestión Territorial

    No full text
    Review of the book by Esther Rando Burgos, Legal Framework of Territorial Management. Tirant lo Blanch, 2020, 464 pp. Foreword by Diego J. Vera Jurado. The work analyzes in a new, rigorous and complete way, how to manage the planning of the territory, one of the great challenges of the planning of the territory in our country. And it does so by providing solutions and tools that, from a legal point of view, can be decisive in advancing this controversial issue. The author rigorously presents the existing non-existent legal regime and, in what constitutes a benchmark in this public function, configures it, even providing it with the legal mechanisms that can enable its implementation.Recensión del libro de Esther Rando Burgos, Régimen jurídico de la Gestión Territorial. Tirant lo Blanch, 2020, 464 pp. Prólogo de Diego J. Vera Jurado. La obra analiza de forma novedosa, rigurosa y completa, cómo gestionar la ordenación del territorio, uno de los grandes retos de la ordenación del territorio en nuestro país. Y lo hace aportando soluciones y herramientas que, desde el punto de vista jurídico, pueden ser determinantes en el avance de esta polémica cuestión. La autora presenta de manera rigurosa el inexistente régimen jurídico existente y, en lo que constituye todo un referente en esta función pública, lo configura, dotándolo incluso de los mecanismos jurídicos que pueden posibilitar su puesta en marcha

    Literary and Social Diasporas: An Italian Australian Perspective

    No full text
    From the Publisher: This volume seeks to map an understanding of the Italian experience onto the broader picture of diasporic stories, though with an anchor in the Australian-Italian experience. It brings together key essays and testimonials that frame a picture of Italy\u27s rich legacy at home , in Europe more widely, and in the (post)colonial sphere, with a particular emphasis on the Australian experience. The essays collected here focus on the way an Italian Australian story has emerged and evolved in its own unique way. In some respects it might be possible to define Australia, through this community, as an Italian space, very much inscribed and described by the many voices that characterise it. What is clear throughout these pages is that past, present and future circulate through and around each other, just as notions of nation - colonial, postcolonial, emigrant and immigrant - jostle for purchase in what is in fact a contested space always under negotiation.

    Chromosomal assembly and comparative analysis of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) genome

    No full text
    In the early days of genomics, the development of a reference genome was an expensive, collaborative undertaking reserved only for traditional and popular model organisms; however, in a theoretical shift highlighted most clearly by the goals of the Genome 10K Project, the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology has resulted in a shift of focus towards the development of reference genomes for a variety of species less commonly studied. One non-traditional model organism selected as a priority species for the Genome 10K Project is the red fox (Vulpes vulpes), and specifically a fox from an experimental breeding project in which silver foxes (a melanistic variant of the red fox) have been selected over the past several decades to exhibit extreme behavioral phenotypes. The population consists of a strain of hyper-aggressive foxes and a strain of hyper-docile foxes, offering a model system through which the genetic underpinnings of behavior, as well as the genetic correlates of domestication, can be investigated. The draft red fox genome, which was developed at BGI, has a sequence depth of 94x and is assembled into 676,878 scaffolds with an N50 of 11.80 Mbp. However, in order for the reference genome to be integrated with previous work in the model system, it is necessary to understand the relationship between the scaffolds and the chromosomes they comprise. Therefore, the primary goal of the present study was to assemble the fox chromosomes from the scaffolds of the draft red fox genome assembly. The draft genome was first analyzed to detect bioinformatic errors known to occur in NGS-assembled genomes that might influence the integrity of the chromosome assembly. Based on these findings, the 500 largest scaffolds were assembled into the 17 fox chromosomes (16 autosomes and the X) based both on nucleotide-level synteny among the fox, dog, and cat identified through pairwise alignment of the reference genomes and on interspecies synteny reported in previously developed comparative maps. The result of the current analysis is the development of a new version of the red fox reference genome that will serve as a valuable tool in ongoing research by increasing the resolution at which mapping studies can probe the genetic architecture of complex behavioral phenotypes in the domesticated fox system.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I only', the embargo will last until 2017-08-01The student, Halie Rando, accepted the attached license on 2015-07-21 at 12:21.The student, Halie Rando, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2015-07-21 at 13:50.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2015-07-21 at 14:34.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #8585 on 2015-09-29 at 15:00:54Made available in DSpace on 2015-09-29T20:50:22Z (GMT).
