Historic windows: conservation or replacement. What's the most sustainable intervention? Legislative situation, case studies and current researches
No full textThere is a definite need to improve the thermal performance of existing buildings in order to reduce carbon emissions and slow climate change. However, a sensible balance is needed when we are dealing with historic architectures. For example, as opposed to the general belief prevailing now, the replacement of windows is not necessarily an energy-saving solution, as a result of rash replacements irreplaceable values are ruined for good.That’s why the aim of this article is to collect and order recent data, to offer the results of the researches carried out in different countries to have the basis to discuss the question in a scientific and clear way and, if possible, to try to express strategies and alternative solutions in comparison with the more common type of interventions actually used. Fortunately the results of the researches in this topic confirm that the preservation and upgrading of traditional windows could be advantageous from the aspect of energy-saving and, of course, is respectful of the Built Heritage

No full textThere are no effective treatments in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). The aim of this study was to test the efficacy of theta burst repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on postural instability in PSP. Twenty PSP patients underwent a session of sham or real cerebellar rTMS in a crossover design. Before and after stimulation, static balance was evaluated with instrumented (lower back accelerometer, Rehagait®, Hasomed, Germany) 30-s trials in semitandem and tandem positions. In tandem and semitandem tasks, active stimulation was associated with increase in time without falls (both p=0.04). In the same tasks, device-extracted parameters revealed significant improvement in area (p=0.007), velocity (p=0.005), acceleration and jerkiness of sway (p=0.008) in real versus sham stimulation. Cerebellar rTMS showed a significant effect on stability in PSP patients, when assessed with mobile digital technology, in a double-blind design. These results should motivate larger and longer trials using non-invasive brain stimulation for PSP patients
Beppo Occhialini’s Brazilian period
No full textThe aim of this work is to deepen Occhialini’s Brazilian period. In particular, we want to offer an analysis of the documents kept in Milan and S˜ao Paulo archives, on Occhialini’s activity in Brazil between 1937 and 1942. Occhialini was called in Brazil by Gleb Wataghin in order to found a new physics group focused on the study of cosmic rays. The decision to deal with this topic is due to the geomagnetic location of Brazil that makes it suitable for measurement campaigns of cosmic rays. Moreover, this kind of study can be develop also in a country, like Brazil, that has few economic resource for research. We therefore analyze the research activities carried out by Occhialini in this context, and his contribution to the international conference on cosmic ray held in Rio de Janeiro in 1941. We will also show Occhialini’s activity in helping scientists who lived in European regimes, in particular the role he played in the Houtermans affair
