MABS validation through repeated execution and data mining analysis
No full textAgent Based Modelling is the most interesting and advanced approach for simulating a complex system: in a social context, the single parts and the whole are often very hard to describe in detail. Besides, there are agent based formalisms which allow to study the emergency of social behaviour with the creation and study of models, known as artificial societies. Thanks to the ever increasing computational power, it's been possible to use such models to create software, based on intelligent agents, which aggregate behaviour is complex and difficult to predict, and can be used in open and distributed systems. Data mining is born in the last decades in order to help users in finding useful knowledge from the otherwise overwhelming amount of data available nowadays from the web and the data collected every day by companies. Data Mining techniques can therefore be the keystone to reveal non-trivial knowledge expressed by the initial assumption used to build the micro-level of the model and the structure of the society of agents that emerged from the simulation

Il concetto di museo urbano nell’architettura di Richard Meier. Museum für Kunsthandwerk, MACBA, Burda Collection
No full textIl Burda Collection Museum riconduce inevitabilmente, date le assonanze al contorno, la ricerca progettuale svolta da Richard Meier sulla tipologia del museo, laddove essa aveva preso le mosse circa vent’anni prima, con il concorso – vinto e realizzato – per il Museo delle Arti Decorative di Francoforte sul Meno: esiste indubbiamente una continuità e costanza di sviluppo concettuale che unisce nel tempo i due complessi, frutto di quella meditazione ininterrotta sui principi formali del Movimento Moderno che assimila l’intera, ciclopica, produzione nel frattempo realizzata dall’architetto americano

No full textIntratympanic gentamicin treatment 'as needed' for Meniere's disease. Long-term analysis using the Kaplan-Meier method.
No full textIn recent years, several titration or on-demand protocols using low-dose repeated intratympanic (IT) gentamicin injections have been adopted for the vertigo control in unilateral medical refractory Menière's disease (MD). Because of the frequent recurrence and the need to treat the patients several times, it is difficult to strictly follow the 1995 AAO-HNS criteria to classify the results. The Kaplan-Meier analysis provides an effective and simpler method to address these concerns. We report the results of a long-term study (7 years) on a large population of MD patients (174) treated with on-request low-dose delayed IT gentamicin injections analysed using the Kaplan-Meier survival method. Effective vertigo control was obtained with a single injection in 40.2 \% of the patients (excellent responders) and with repeated injections (2-9) in 43.7 \% of the patients (moderate responders). Only six patients (3.5 \%) needed to be submitted to vestibular neurectomy because of the persistence of vertigo attacks (non-responders). A subgroup of 22 patients (12.6 \%) reporting a late recurrence of vertigo attacks after an initial vertigo-free interval lasting more than 2 years (short-term responders) were successfully treated with a further cycle of injections. In no cases, we observed significant signs of cochlear or vestibular toxicity. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis provided an excellent method for reporting treatment success or failure in patients followed for variable length of time with our kind of protocol
L’Ara Pacis di Augusto e la campagna elettorale per le elezioni amministrative, del 2006, del Comune di Roma
No full textIl 21 aprile del 2006, ricorrenza del Natale di Roma, il sindaco Walter Veltroni inaugurò il nuovo Museo dell’Ara Pacis progettato dall’architetto statunitense Richard Meier. L’edificio sostituiva la precedente teca realizzata da Vittorio Ballio Morpurgo, tra il 1937 e il 1938, per la committenza di Benito Mussolini. A far da sfondo alla cerimonia del 2006, accompagnata da molte polemiche, il clima “infuocato” della campagna politica per l’elezione, imminente, del sindaco della capitale. Campagna elettorale che, sia nella costruzione del consenso sia nella creazione di un eventuale dissenso nei confronti della giunta in carica, vide al centro del dibattito elettorale anche l’edificio di Meier. L’autrice, dunque, a partire da questa evidenza, analizza nel saggio l’attenzione da parte della politica nei confronti di un progetto che solo ad una lettura disattenta risulta circoscritto all’archeologia, all’urbanistica e all’architettura. Una riflessione, quella proposta da Gabriella De Marco, sollecitata dagli strumenti metodologici della storia dell’arte. Lo scritto, quindi, non è centrato sull’analisi dell’edificio di Meier, sulle modalità dell’assegnazione dell’incarico e sulle altre questioni tecniche su cui esiste un’ampia e qualificata letteratura scientifica, ma sull’uso della storia, dell’archeologia e dell’urbanistica come forma attuale di comunicazione politica ed elettorale.On 21th April 2006, anniversary of the founding of Rome, the Major Walter Veltroni inaugurated the new Ara Pacis Museum designed by the American architect Richard Meyer. The building replaced the previous shrine created by Vittorio Ballio Morpurgo, between 1937 and 1938, and commissioned by Benito Mussolini. Background of the 2006 ceremony, not without controversy, was “the fiery climate” of the political campaign for the election of the Mayor of the city. Election campaign that put in the middle of the political clash, and of the political debate, the Museum designed by Meier. Therefore, in the essay, Gabriella De Marco analyzes the attention by the contemporary politic towards a cultural project that only a distracted reading may narrow to the specific context of the archaeology, the history and the urban planning. The author proposes a reflection conducted through the methodological tools of the history of art. The text, therefore, is not built on the analysis of the Museum of Meier and on the other technical matters, on which there is a wide and qualified scientific literature, but on the use of history, archaeology, and urban planning as a current form of political and electoral communication
