Temporary Office. First Act: il Mercato del Pesce di Genova.
No full textIl volume tratta l'esperienza del workshop intensivo Temporary Office svoltosi a Genova dal 10 al 17 novembre 2016 a cura di Valter Scelsi e Lorenzo Trompetto e sotto la direzione di Simona Malvezzi. Il workshop è dedicato all’ex Mercato del Pesce di piazza Cavour, alla sua storia e alle sue possibilità di riutilizzo e riconversione a nuove destinazioni d’uso. Oltre ai testi dei curatori - Antonio Lavarello, Luigi Mandraccio, Gian Luca Porcile, Valter Scelsi e Lorenzo Trompetto - il libro contiene i contributi di Benedetto Besio (Fondazione degli Architetti di Genova), Andrea Canziani (Soprintendenza Archeologia, Belle Arti e Paesaggio per la città metropolitana di Genova e le province di Imperia, La Spezia e Savona), Francesco Garutti (Canadian Centre for Architecture), Simona Malvezzi (Kuehn Malvezzi), Anna Positano (fotografa)
Luca MARENZIO. O mille volte
No full textDisponible en partie sur le site de l'éditeur : http://edacj.musicanet.org/product_info.php?products_id=4676 (version complète payante)Partition (musique en feuillet), Ed. ACJ, n°6064La musique des Intermèdes de la Pellegrina a du apparaître comme un tourbillon de nouveautés lorsqu'elles résonnèrent à Florence en 1589 pour le fastueux mariage de Ferdinand de Médicis avec la princesse Christine de Lorraine, petite fille de Catherine de Médicis, la mère du roi de France. Les compositeurs les plus réputés de l'époque comme Emilio de Cavalieri, Cristofano Malvezzi, Luca Marenzio, Giulio Caccini ou Jacopo Peri collaborent ainsi aux différentes facettes des six intermèdes, plus étonnants, inouïs les uns que les autres. Luca Marenzio compose toutes les musiques des intermèdes 2 et 3 dans des effectifs variés de 3 à 18 voix. O mille volte conclut joyeusement ce dernier intermède où Apollon tue le monstre à Delphes
Introduzione (a Media-Impresa. Discorsi e pratiche cinematografiche e mediali nella cultura industriale)
No full textDelle tante vite parallele del cinema quella industriale non è certo tra le
più appariscenti. Eppure, è anche districandosi fra cubicoli da ufficio, fiere campionarie, presentazioni aziendali e viaggi d’affari che i mezzi audiovisivi hanno adempito alla propria funzione di agenti storici, divenendo presenze via via più pervasive e influenti nella quotidianità dei luoghi di lavoro. Questo numero speciale di «Cinema e Storia» parte dall’ormai vasta letteratura esistente sul cinema industriale e sponsorizzato per adottare una più ampia prospettiva sul processo di “mediatizzazione” che ha interessato le imprese e le organizzazioni lavorative nel contesto italiano. Muovendo della ripresa post- bellica come punto di partenza obbligato e individuando il boom economico quale periodo di maggior fortuna della cinematografia d’impresa, ci si spinge fino a metà degli anni Ottanta, quanto la rete mediale delle aziende accoglie l’introduzione delle tecnologie elettroniche e informatiche. A diverse altezze
di questo percorso, i saggi qui raccolti offrono spaccati sulle istituzioni e sui saperi che hanno contribuito a irregimentare il cinema tra gli strumenti della cultura imprenditoriale, sulle accezioni discorsive di medialità che emergono dalle pagine degli house organ aziendali e sul ruolo giocato dall’audiovisivo nella rappresentazione dei paesaggi industriali e nella costruzione della corporate image. Un assortimento di casi differenti sui quali si staglia il miraggio tutto italiano del tecno-umanesimo, ora in termini utopistici (il perfetto connubio fra estro artistico e precisione tecnica) ora con sembianze distopiche, a piegare ogni espressione culturale ai fini dell’ingegneria sociale
Development and validation of odometric algorithms for railway control and monitoring systems [Sviluppo e validazione di algoritmi di odometria per sistemi di controllo e monitoraggio ferroviari]
No full textPresent railway systems need amomatica devices for train running control because of the high speed and the higher and higher safety, efficiency and reliability levels required. A fundamental part of these control systems is the so-called odometry that is the set of equipment and software procedures that allow to know with continuity position and speed of the running trains. The odomeiric system validation is carried out on the basis of a series of tests that have to reproduce the highest possible number of cases that could actually occur (degraded adherence conditions axle locking, fault of sensores, etc., This paper describes the operation principles of the control and monitoring systems that are presently in a development and implementation phase at both national level (SCMT system) and European level (ERTMS). Some possible solutions for the odometric system are then illustrated. A software model for train simulation is finally described; this model will be able to be utilized for the odomeiric system validation without resorting to trial runs or anyway reducing their neccessity
Long-lasting clinical, radiological and immunological remission of severe nasal polyposis by means of 'reboot' surgery
No full textA 68-year-old woman with a long history of relapsing chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) underwent a complete reboot surgery and nasal biopsy prior to and after surgery. Remarkable improvement of symptoms and no signs of mucosal oedema and no complaints of initially worsening nasal functions were still present 12 months after reboot surgery. Biopsy demonstrated an outstanding reduction in eosinophilic infiltration and re-epithelisation of nasal mucosa with normal features after reboot approach compared with previous surgeries. Therefore, reboot approach may become an effective instrument in plurioperated patients with CRSwNP who suffer from a nasal condition that is recalcitrant to pharmacological therapies and is unsatisfactorily treated by standard surgical techniques
Angioneurotic edema of the upper airways and antihypertensive therapy
No full textAngioneurotic edema is a non-pitting edema which is usually limited to the skin and the mucous membranes of the face and upper aerodigestive tract. The risk of acute upper airway obstruction makes angioneurotic edema a concern for emergency room physicians, internists and otolaryngologists because prompt recognition of the condition and immediate institution of therapy is essential for proper airway management. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors have recently been associated with angioneurotic edema, the probable link being the reduction in angiotensin II and the potentiation of bradykinin, resulting in vasodilatation, increased vascular permeability and angioedema. We report four cases of acquired angioneurotic edema, which were probably related to ACE inhibitor use. These cases are discussed, including a review of the literature, methods of diagnosis, pathophysiology and treatment of angioedema. Care should be taken when antihypertensive ACE inhibitor treatments are started and patients should be warned of the potential risk of angioneurotic edema
Epiphora as a sign of unexpected underlying squamous cell carcinoma within sinonasal inverted papilloma
No full textSinonasal inverted papilloma (SIP) is a benign tumor which originates from the sinonasal Schneiderian mucosa and accounts for 0.5% to 4% of all nasal and sinus neoplasm [1]. Pathologically, SIP epithelium inverts into submucosal stroma, which is different from other types of nasal papilloma. Unlike other benign tumors, SIP exhibits remarkable aggressive behaviors, including invasiveness, recurrence and malignant transformation [2]. Therefore, SIP can spread into the paranasal sinus, orbit, and cranial base, which can lead to poor prognosis for SIP patients [2]. Secondary squamous cell carcinoma is malignancy formation within the SIP. It is considered primary if there is no additional mucosal condition or secondary if it occurs in conjunction with an additional condition, which is estimated to occur in about 9% of cases [3]. The authors report the case of a 66-year-old woman with SIP and secondary SCC of the right nasal cavity. This study was adherent with the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki
Rhythms of Visions. Three experimental films by Corrado D’Errico, in New Paths on Italian Experimental Moving Image
No full textStramilano (SuperMilan), Impressioni di vita n.1 (Impressions of life n. 1): Ritmi di stazione e (Rhythms of a Railway Station) and Rivista Luce (Luce Magazine) n. 2: Music – La Gazza Ladra (The Thieving Magpie) are three short movies signed by Corrado D’Errico between 1929 and 1934. A multifaceted author, D’Errico (1902-1941) is deeply connected to the aesthetic theories of futurism and at the same time is measured with the coeval experimental and international film production
