A proposito di Mauro Volpi
No full textL’articolo mira a fornire un quadro d’insieme della vasta produzione scientifica di Mauro Volpi attraverso l’analisi approfondita di alcuni settori della stessa. In tale contesto emerge la capacità del Volpi di anticipare schemi che sarebbero stati evidenti soltanto tempo dopo, nell’ambito di una metodologia scientifica in grado di coniugare il conosciuto con un’attenta analisi del nuovo, dai cui connotati è possibile giungere, partendo dallo studioso, all’uom
Conversations with Cabrera: Mauro Guillén
No full textPresented online January 26, 2021, 3:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m.Conversations with Cabrera are unscripted and informal, unearthing leadership’s thinking behind the big ideas taking shape across the Institute and trends likely to define our future. This video series is meant to capture candid conversations between President Ángel Cabrera and thought leaders across Georgia Tech and beyond.Ángel Cabrera, President, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA.Mauro Guillén, Zandman Professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and director of the Penn Lauder Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER).Runtime: 56:53 minutesPresident Ángel Cabrera in conversation with author and educator Mauro Guillén. They discuss the themes of Guillén's book, 2030: How Today's Biggest Trends Will Collide and Reshape the Future of Everything. Mauro Guillén’s bestselling book 2030 is both a remarkable guide to the coming changes and an exercise in the power of “lateral thinking,” thereby revolutionizing the way you think about cataclysmic change and its consequences
Laparoscopic assisted aortic surgery : A review
No full textWe give an overview of different laparoscopic assisted techniques to perform aortic surgery. In a meta-analysis the paper describes the combined experience of two vascular surgical centers who together have performed more than 524 laparoscopic assisted aortic procedures. Basically the following techniques can be used to perform a laparoscopic assisted procedure: 1) transperitoneal approach (the Alimi procedure); 2) hand assisted laparoscopy (the Ferrari technique); 3) left retrocolic laparoscopic assisted; 4) combining laparoscopic assisted and total laparoscopy techniques. In all cases a transperitoneal approach was chosen to dissect the aorta. This was either accomplished directly or using a left retrocolic access originally described by Dion as the apron technique. In some cases a hand assist device was used, which permits the surgeon to introduce the non dominant hand while maintaining the pneumoperitoneum. The mortality in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) patients in either center did not exceed 1.8%. ICU stay, postoperative ileus and length of stay were significantly shorter compared to patients with a full length incision. The Pisa group showed that there is still a significant reduction of operating time as well as aortic cross clamping time beyond the learning curve of the first 30 patients. The analysis of the pooled data shows that even in AAA patients the laparoscopic assisted procedure can be performed with operating times of less than 3 h and hospital stays up to 4 days, which we only know from endovascular aneurysm exclusion. This is the first publication of hand assisted laparoscopic endoaneurysm repair involving a large number of patients. The operations can be performed with expediency and safety. We can use these laparoscopic procedures to perform even complex aortic operations including suprarenal aneurysms with revascularization of the renal and visceral arteries. An outlook of future developments including stapling technology is given
No Europe without Brussels: The Berlaymont Building and the Development of the Léopold Area
No full textEurope and Brussels had a mutual dependency from the founding of the European Communities. This article explores the historic relation between local urban and the transnational development of post-war Europe. It ultimately raises the question to what extent there exists a dialogue between various actors involved to actively design and build the image of Europe in Brussels.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care.

Between La Tendenza and Neoliberty: Mauro Baracco Goes to Australia
No full textDiscussion of various relationships between Italian postmodern architecture (including works by Aldo Rossi, Gianni Braghieri and Gabetti&Isola), Australian postmodern architecture (including Edmond&Corrigan and Robin Boyd among others), and theoretical and design approach undertaken by the author (Mauro Baracco) as both a practitioner (director of Baracco+Wright Architects, Melbourne) and an academic (Associate Professor in Architecture and Urban Design, RMIT University, Melbourne)
A METHOD TO SINGLE OUT MAXIMAL PROPOSITIONAL LOGICS WITH THE DISJUNCTION PROPERTY .2.
No full textAbstractThis is the second part of a paper devoted to the study of the maximal intermediate propositional logics with the disjunction property (we will simply call maximal constructive logics), whose first part has appeared in this journal with the title “A method to single out maximal propositional logics with the disjunction property I”. In the first part we have explained the general results upon which a method to single out maximal constructive logics is based and have illustrated such a method by exhibiting the Kripke semantics of maximal constructive logics extending the logic ST of Scott, for which, in turn, a semantical characterization in terms of Kripke frames has been given. In the present part we complete the illustration of the method of the first part, having in mind some aspects which might be interesting for a classification of the maximal constructive logics, and an application of the heuristic content of the method to detect the nonmaximality of apparently maximal constructive logics. Thus, on the one hand we introduce the logic AST (“anti” ST), which is compared with ST and is seen as a logic “alternative” (or even “opposite”) to it, in a sense which will be precisely explained. We provide a Kripke semantics for AST and (without exhibiting them) show that (near the ones including ST and the ones including AST) there are maximal constructive logics which neither are extensions of ST nor are extensions of AST. Finally, we give a further application of the results of the first part by exhibiting the Kripke semantics of a maximal constructive logic extending AST. On the other hand, we compare the maximal constructive logics presented in both parts of the paper with a constructive logic introduced by Maksimova (1986), which has been conjectured to be maximal by Chagrov and Zacharyashchev (1991); from this comparison a disproof of the conjecture arises
