MIGLIORARE IL COMPORTAMENTO PASSIVO DELLE COSTRUZIONI IN LEGNO INDAGINI SPERIMENTALI PER DIMENSIONARE LA MASSA NEI PROTOTIPI PER IL SOLAR DECATHLON
No full textRhOME for denCity, il progetto del team di Roma3, vincitore del Solar Decathlon 2014, tra le altre innovazioni messe a punto per la gara svoltasi a Versailles nello scorso luglio, ha come punto di forza l’utilizzo innovativo della massa per migliorare l’efficienza termica degli edifici.
Già intrapreso dallo stesso gruppo di ricerca per la precedente edizione, con il progetto Med in Italy, il tema della valutazione del contributo della massa termica, cerca questa volta un mag- giore approfondimento.
Progettato prevalentemente per i climi mediterranei, il proto- tipo RhOME cerca, attraverso una ricerca puntuale, di fare sin- tesi tra innovazione tecnologica e integrazione architettonica, con l’obiettivo di dare a un edificio in legno, tradizionalmente “leggero”, il beneficio termico degli edifici “pesanti” caratteri- stici dei climi caldi.
L’obiettivo principale del team RhOME è stato quello di muo- versi al confine tra intuizione della strategia e validazione della stessa attraverso l’utilizzo mirato e sinergico di più strumenti di simulazione e di prove sperimentali.
Fin dalle prime battute del progetto, quindi, il team ha lavorato
contemporaneamente sull’integrazione dello strato di massa termica e sulla simulazione di come questo strato di sabbia fosse in grado di influenzare in qualche modo il microclima in- terno degli ambienti, riducendo di conseguenza il dispendio energetico dovuto all’utilizzo degli impianti di riscaldamento e raffrescamento.
Lo strato di massa termica previsto è stato integrato nella co- struzione addizionando, sul lato interno della parete perimetrale, un layer di sabbia sfusa contenuta, ai fini della competizione, in tubi di alluminio (vedi tabella e disegno a pag. 88).
Lo studio scientifico sulla massa termica molto spesso è inteso solo come focus sul comportamento termico della parete, vir- tuoso involucro di separazione tra interno ed esterno, in cui la massa contribuisce a rallentare il passaggio dell’onda termica attraverso la parete.
In questo caso, invece, l’intento del team di ricerca è stato quello di studiare, indagandone le dinamiche, il contributo della massa termica non come cesura tra interno ed esterno, ma come assorbitore termico interno, con il ruolo di smorzare le oscillazioni di temperatura all’interno dell’abitazione.Rhome for Dencity, the project of the team Roma3, winner of the Solar Decathlon 2014, among other innovations developed for the race held in Versailles last July, has the strength of the innovative use of mass to improve thermal efficiency of buildings.
Already undertaken by the same group of research for the previous edition, with the project Med in Italy, the question of the evaluation of the contribution of thermal mass, this time seeking a greater depth.
Designed mainly for Mediterranean climates, the prototype Rhome search through a detailed research, to make synthesis between technological innovation and architectural integration, with the aim of giving a wooden building, traditionally "light", the benefit of "heavy" buildings, characteristic of warm climates.
The main objective of the team Rhome was to move the boundary between intuition and validation of the strategy of the same through the use of more targeted and synergistic simulation tools and experimental tests.Right from the start of the project, then, the team has worked
At the same time on the integration of the layer of thermal mass and on the simulation of how this layer of sand was able to somehow influence the microclimate of procedure of the environments, thereby reducing the energy consumption due to the use of heating and cooling .
The layer of thermal mass provided, has been integrated in the construction by adding, on the inner side of the peripheral wall, a layer of sand, bulk contained, for purposes of competition, in aluminum tubing
The scientific study on the thermal mass is very often understood only as a focus on the thermal behavior of the wall, virtuous casing separation between inside and outside, in which the mass helps to slow down the passage of the thermal wave through the wall.
In this case, however, the intent of the research team was to study the contribution of thermal mass not as break between indoors and outdoors, but as a heat absorber inside the house, with the role of dampen oscillations temperature inside the dwelling
Clear cell acanthoma: Dermatoscopic observation [Acantoma a cellule chiare: Osservazione dermatoscopica]
No full textClear cell acanthoma of Degos is an uncommon benign epidermal tumor which clinically presents as a papulo-nodular lesion usually on the leg of older adults. A 60-year-old male patient presented with a 4-month history of a nodule on the left leg. Videodermatoscopy showed a psoriasis-like pattern consistent with clear cell acanthoma. Histology confirmed the supposed diagnosis. © Copyright 2005, CIC Edizioni Internazionali

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Cognitive load and emotional processing in psoriasis: a thermal imaging study
No full textPsoriasis is a chronic dermatologic disease which is frequently associated with psychological distress. Although studies suggest a relationship between this condition and difficulties in emotion regulation, behavioral and physiological evidence about this link is scarce. We measured implicit emotion regulation abilities of psoriasis patients and a healthy control group by examining the impact of distracting emotional (positive, negative or neutral) images on a working memory task (“Emotional N-Back”) which could present high (2-back) or low (1-back) cognitive workload. Moreover, we used Functional Infrared Thermal Imaging to record participants’ facial temperature and obtain a measure of the activation of the autonomic system. Rising of temperature over the peri-orbital areas and the nose tip are believed to reflect the activation and the de-activation of the sympathetic system, respectively. Patients scored higher than controls on the “Lack of emotional clarity” sub-scale of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale. Compared to controls, who performed much better in the low vs. high cognitive load condition, patients showed a smaller accuracy difference between the two conditions. Moreover, patients showed less sympathetic (lower peri-orbital and higher nasal tip temperature) activity (especially in the negative and neutral blocks) during the high vs. low cognitive load condition, suggesting that the former condition might be less emotionally demanding for them. Patients benefit more than controls from the load-dependent interference effect when dealing with emotional information; thus, therapeutic techniques aiming at teaching how to use cognitive strategies to downregulate emotions might be particularly appropriated for them
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

No full textAppropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
