Paoletti Impronte Volume 1: Uomini Illustri
No full text2 volumes ; in 2 cases. Plaster cameos reproducing works of classical and contemporary sculpture, produced by the firm of Paoletti, at Rome, circa 1865. The cameos are organized and mounted in trays housed within 8 faux book bindings, with a tray of cameos underneath both the front and back cover of each volume. Each cameo is numbered in pen and ink, and in turn identified in manuscript on the inside covers of each volume. All volumes bound in quarter vellum, with green boards. The title Paoletti impronte is gilt-stamped on a red morocco title label at the head of the spine. On a similar label at the foot of each spine, a title for the contents of the volume is stamped in gilt; the contents are as follows: Uomini illustri ; Musei Diversi. Plaster cameos such as these were popular souvenirs for British travelers on the Grand Tour of the continent. As in the present set, they were frequently mounted in faux book bindings. Paoletti begs to inform the public that he has arranged a collection of impressions .. of many of the works in sculpture executed by distinguished artists, whose works are described by the Count Hawks le Grice in the above interesting and instructive \u27Walks\u27 ; he has also executed impronte taken from the portraits of the author, of Thorwaldsen, Gibson, Wyatt, Wolff etc., all of which have been executed in cameo by Saulini, a distinguished Roman engraver. The impressions are bound up in 3 vol. 4o, and form an appropriate companion to the Count\u27s work .. --Advertisement on page 269 (volume 1) of Le Grice\u27s Walks through the Studii of the sculptors at Rome (Rome : C. Puccinelli, 1841). The address of Paoletti\u27s shop is noted in volumes 1 and 3 of the present set. Paoletti is listed at 86 Via della Croce in at least two contemporary directories: A handbook of Rome and its environs (London : John Murray, 1864); and, Rome seen in a week (Rome : L. Piale, 1865). Paoletti\u27s studio, during the lifetime of Pietro Paoletti (1801-1847), was previously at 49 Piazza di Spagna, Rome. Bartolomeo Paoletti, an antique dealer and engraver in Rome, began the Paoletti collection of plaster casts of intaglios and cameos between 1760 and 1770. In 1834 his son Pietro took over the business. Volume [1]. Uomini illustri ; volume [2] Musei Diversi. Case edges printed in a marbled pattern. Contents of each volume listed inside cover.

Three Grades of Downward Causation
No full textthis paper presents three different models of causation that make room in different ways for the idea that there can be downward causation going from the psychological to the physical level

A tool for analysing depth resolution in potential-field inversion: application to the Neapolitan Volcanic Area
No full textA careful management of the data errors in potential field inversion is crucial for obtaining reliable information about the source distribution with respect to depth. The Depth Resolution Plot introduced by Fedi, Hansen and Paoletti provides a convenient tool for this analysis: it allows a computational/visual analysis of how much the depth resolution in a potential-field inversion problem is influenced by the way the problem is discretized and regularized. Here we present a variant of the Depth Resolution Plot, called Approx Depth Resolution Plot, which is better suited for large-scale problems, and we employ it to study the retrievable depth resolution in the inversion of the gravity field of the Neapolitan Volcanic Area
Feasibility of FSJ of thermoplastics and Carbon Fiber reinforced thermosetting laminates
No full textThe feasibility of Friction Stir Joining (FSJ) process applied to join amorphous thermoplastic sheets and CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers) with thermosetting matrix is investigated, experimentally. A preliminary experimental plan involving the variation the welding speed and tool rotation was conducted. IR thermal analysis is performed along with the analysis of the material flow to determine the influence of the process parameters on the developing processing conditions. Mechanical characterization of the welds was performed to understand the influence of the processing conditions on the weld quality, defects, and strength. Fracture surface analysis and optical microscopy analysis were carried out to investigate the interface between the substrates and the penetration of the carbon fibers within the polycarbonate (PC). The results indicate relatively high mechanical strength of the joints that suggests the possibility to adopt FSJ to produce such hybrid structures
Domestication process of two Solanum (section Lasiocarpa) species among Amerindians in the Upper Orinoco, Venezuela with special focus on Piaroa indians

[email protected]). DOMESTICATION PROCESS OF TWO SOLANUM SECTION LASIOCARPA SPECIES
AMONG AMERINDIANS IN THE UPPER ORINOCO, VENEZUELA, WITH SPECIAL FOCUS ON PIAROA
INDIANS. Economic Botany 58(2):000–000, 2004. Two semi-cultivated Solanum species (S. sessiliflorum
Dunal and S. stramonifolium Jacq.) are utilized by the Amazonian Indians of the
Upper Orinoco Basin in Venezuela. The manner by which they have become partially domesticated
by the Piaroas and other native tribes of this rain forest region is elucidated in the
following text. Both species have two varieties, with and without prickles, the latter the result
of human selection. Patterns of indigenous utilization of these species by the selection of morphologic
forms and to the differentiation of karyotypes of varieties, and exploitation of the
species reflects also in the perception of them among users. S. sessiliflorum is cultivated in
swiddens and has an economic role, whereas S. stramonifolium is grown in dooryards. This
difference is detectable to the Piaroas, as they recognize in their folk taxonomy three different
varieties of the S. sessiliflorum and one of S. stramonifolium, this according to the stage of
domestication of the species and the way in which they are utilized
Who’s Afraid of Non-Existent Manifestations?
No full textI shall defend in this paper the thesis that, if there are irreducible powers such as the power to produce a certain object (generative powers), then there are objects that do not exist and they are part of the fundamental level of the universe. Thus, generative powers come together with Meinongianism. After having clarified my argument, I shall examine and criticize Armstrong (1997)’s attempt to reduce powers to other sorts of entities. Finally, I shall deal with five accounts of generative powers that are somehow alternative to Meinongianism and with some (more general) miscellaneous concerns about the truth of this doctrine
Envisioning the Future: a Remote Neuropsychopedagogic Intervention for Inmates
No full text[EN] The pandemic has implied a massive digitalization of psycho-pedagogical and educational interventions in different contexts, including the prison setting. Patrizio Paoletti Foundation (Assisi, Italy) has created Envisioning the Future (EF), a neuropsycho-pedagogical program aimed at increasing personal wellbeing, that was also remotely conducted among the inmates of the Padua (Italy) prison. The program was remotely implemented from May 2021 to June 2021, at the climax of the pandemic emergency, with the collaboration of the University of Padua (Italy) and of Padua prison (Italy). Through key neuroscientific findings and daily practices for wellbeing, EF aims at increasing inmates’ emotion regulation abilities. The responses of nine inmates to the Scales of Personal Self-efficacy in the Management of Negative and Positive Emotions, before and after EF, were paired and subjected to analysis of covariance, revealing an increase in the ability to manage positive emotions after EF. To date, EF is one of the first remote neuropsycho-pedagogical experiences in Italian prisons, able to positively impact on individual well-being.Di Giuseppe, T.; Perasso, GF.; Maculan, A.; Vianello, F.; Paoletti, P.

No full textReciprocal root locus approach to path planning for multiple mobile robots
No full textThe path planning problem for multiple mobile robots is addressed in this study. Given the available mobile robots and the tasks to be executed, at the highest planning level a first problem is the assignment of tasks to robot or AGV, the second is path planning. In this case a quickplanning is desirable for computing feasible paths in a given workspace without congestion. The proposed solution is based on the theory of conformal transformations that can be used to map the given workspace in a more appealing geometric setting. Some examples are considered to illustrate the proposed technique and its efficienc
