Oral history interview with C. Suzanne Iacono
No full textTranscript, 25 pp.With support from the National Science Foundation (Grant No. 0811988, “Designing and Using FastLane: Distilling Lessons for Cyberinfrastructures”) CBI researchers Jeffrey Yost and Thomas Misa conducted oral history interviews with 70 NSF staff members as well as numerous additional interviews during 29 university site visits. An overview of the project is available at and a complete set of 643 publicly available interviews is at . Here on the CBI oral history database is a selection of notable NSF staff including Joseph F. Burt, Jean Feldman, C. Suzanne Iacono, Constance McLindon, Carolyn L. Miller, Paul Morris, Andrea T. Norris, Erika Rissi, Craig Robinson, Mary F. Santonastasso, Rich Schneider, Frank P. Scioli, Beverly Sherman, George Strawn, and Frederic J. Wendling. Topics common to many of the interviews include the design and development of the NSF’s FastLane computer system, interactions with users, e-government initiatives, grants management practices, peer review, and NSF policies and practices. These interviews span a wide range of NSF staff, from program officers to senior managers.
C. Suzanne Iacono has worked as a CISE program office and as Senior Science Advisor, and provides insight on FastLane from a human-centered computing perspective.National Science Foundation Grant No. 0811988, “Designing and Using FastLane: Distilling Lessons for Cyberinfrastructures”Iacono, C.

On the abstract Bogomolov-Tian-Todorov Theorem
No full textWe describe an abstract version of the Theorem of Bogomolov-Tian-Todorov,
whose underlying idea is already contained in various papers by Bandiera,
Fiorenza, Iacono, Manetti. More explicitly, we prove an algebraic criterion for
a differential graded Lie algebras to be homotopy abelian. Then, we collect
together many examples and applications in deformation theory and other
settings.Comment: v2 Reference update
The Dagradi-Serio-Iacono operation central pancreatectomy
No full textCentral pancreatectomy (CP) is a segmental pancreatic resection indicated to remove benign or low-grade malignant
tumors of the isthmus and proximal part of the body of the pancreas. The main advantage of this operation compared with major
resections is that it permits to spare normal pancreatic parenchyma;moreover, spleen and upper digestive and biliary tracts are saved.
The description of the complete operation was reported for the first time by Dagradi and Serio in 1984 and subsequently spread
worldwide by Iacono and Serio. In our opinion, it should be called the Dagradi–Serio–Iacono operation, by the names of the
surgeons who first performed it (Dagradi and Serio), and by the names of the surgeons responsible for reporting it worldwide
with precise indications (Iacono and Serio). Operation requires a midline or a bilateral subcostal incision; the lesser sac is entered
through dissection of the transverse colon from the omentum or by transecting the gastrocolic ligament. The pancreatic segment
harboring the lesion is then mobilized and its posterior surface carefully dissected from the splenic vein and artery. Subsequently,
the pancreatic portion harboring the tumor is isolated at its superior margin from the splenic artery after the pancreas is transacted.
The extent of the resection of the central segment is limited on the right by the gastroduodenal artery and on the left by the need
to leave at least 5 cm of normal pancreatic remnant. The resected pancreatic specimen is sent to the pathologist for confirmation
of diagnosis and to check if the resection margins are adequate. Hemostasis of the two raw surfaces is achieved with interrupted 5
or 4/0 nonabsorbable stitches. When it is not stapled, theWirsung’s duct of the cephalic stump is sutured selectively with a figureof-
eight nonabsorbable stitch. An end-to-end invaginated pancreaticojejunostomy is carried out with a single layer of interrupted
stitches. The operation is concluded with the construction of an end-to-side jejuno-jejunostomy about 50 cm distal to the
pancreatic anastomosis. Other techniques for reconstruction of the distal stump using jejunum or stomach have been described.
One or two soft drains are brought out on the right side. The fluid collected from this drain is checked for amylase level on
postoperative days 3, 5, and 7; if the level is low or absent, the drain is removed. Central pancreatectomy is a safe technique for
benign or low malignant tumors of the pancreatic neck that allows curing the tumor with evident functional results without
increasing the risk for the patient. We can say that CP has a clear role like pancreaticoduodenectomy and distal pancreatectomy
and we think that a pancreatic surgeon has to include this procedure in his/her technical skills. In order to obtain excellent results,
correct indications and experience in pancreatic surgery are recommended
Echi di violenza nella società del'400 aragonese a Napoli: dal De tumulis al De immanitate (II parte: Deimmanitate)
No full textLa relazione è stata scandita in due parti dedicate a due opere, in poesia e in prosa, di GiovanniPonntano: la prima, a cura di Giuseppe Germano, dedicata al De tumulis; la seconda, a cura di Antonietta Iacono, dedicata al De immanitate. Essa delinea un percorso che ricostruisce lo sguardo dell'umanista sulla violenza perpetrata contro le donne, e sulla schiavitù; e approda ad una valutazione complessiva della storia dell'umanità, alla ricerca di un antidoto alla Immanitas che - secondo Pontano- è rappresentato dagli studia humanitatis
THE HISTORY AND THEORY OF FETISHISM
No full textThe History and Theory of Fetishism, the expanded version of Iacono's enduring classic Teorie del feticismo and available for the first time in English, aims to provide the historical context necessary to understanding the concept of "fetishism" and offers an overview of the ideologies, prejudices, and critical senses that shaped the Western observer's view of otherness and of his own world. Iacono examines the moment when the Western observer turned his colonizing and evangelizing gaze to continents such as Africa and the Americas, while attempts to simultaneously destabilize and look at his/her own world critically
Le epistolae praefatoriae di Pietro Summonte all'editio princeps dell'opera pontaniana
No full textNel dare alle stampe i volumi degli inedita pontaniani Pietro Summonte accompagnò ciascun volume con lettere prefatorie che contenevano dediche, chiarivano contesti storici e indicavano i collaboratori e i sostenitori finanziari dell'onerosa edizione. La prima parte della relazione - a cura del prof. Giuseppe Germano - intende ricostruire la storia dell'edizione postuma napoletana, tracciando un quadro complessivo delle problematiche ecdotiche, del valore e della fortuna dell'edition Neapolitana; la seconda parte -a cura della prof. Antonietta Iacono - rilegge le epistolae praefatoriae dei volumi pubblicati dal 1505 al 1512 alla luce delle scelte cultruali e delle posizioni ideologiche dell'entourage di intellettuali che continuarono a sentirsi sodalitas nel nome e nel ricordo del Maestro
Central pancreatectomy: the Dagradi Serio Iacono operation. Evolution of a surgical technique from the pioneers to the robotic approach.
No full textCentral pancreatectomy (CP) is a parenchyma-sparing surgical procedure. The aims are to clarify the history and the development of CP and to give credits to those from whom it came. Ehrhardt, in 1908, described segmental neck resection (SNR) followed, in 1910, by Finney without reconstructive part. In 1950 Honjyo described two cases of SNR combined with gastrectomy for gastric cancer infiltrating the neck of the pancreas. Guillemin and Bessot (1957) and Letton and Wilson (1959) dealt only with the reconstructive aspect of CP. Dagradi and Serio, in 1982, performed the first CP including the resective and reconstructive aspects. Subsequently Iacono has validated it with functional endocrine and exocrine tests and popularized it worldwide. In 2003, Baca and Bokan performed laparoscopic CP and, In 2004, Giulianotti et al performed a robotic assisted CP. CP is performed worldwide either by open surgery or by using minimally-invasive or robotic approaches. This confirms that the operation does not belong to whom introduced it but to everyone who carries out it; however credit must be given to those from whom it came
