    Reciprocal Implications Between Design and Construction Process of Timber Gridshell: Innovative Techniques of Representation in Architectural Design

    No full text
    This contribution focuses on the latest acquisitions of the Gridshell.it research group on active-bent timber gridshells. In particular, the main topic is related to the development of a new information technology design tool (GFFT 2.0) developed by Davide Rando for his Master's thesis in Architecture in January 2018 under the supervision of Sergio Pone and Daniele Lancia; this tool is a new version of the previous one developed in 2012 by Daniele Lancia and Andrea Fiore for their Master's Degree thesis called GFFT (Gridshell Form Finding Tool) (Pone et al., 2013). We will also describe the ultimate two projects to which we have committed ourselves from 2016 up to today as well as how the creation of the new IT tool was based on previous experiences influencing subsequent skills

    Recent Perceptions of Rural Australia in Italian and Italian Australian Narrative

    No full text
    Italian settlement in rural and outback areas of Australia during the late 1800s and early 1900s has remained a largely unsung saga while most Italians migrating to Australia after 1947 ultimately settled in urban areas. Few narrative writers have written about non-urban Australia in substantially social realist terms. More recently, this trend had taken a post-modern perspective in a few Italian Australian and Italian writers who depict the Australian outback as providing a solution to the protagonists' life quest and promote a discourse on nature as a dynamic, positive and vital element that contrasts with man's static negativism

    E-ASTROGAM: A space mission for MeV-GeV gamma-ray astrophysics

    No full text
    e-ASTROGAM is an observatory space mission dedicated to the study of the gamma radiation in the range from 0.3 MeV to 3 GeV. The detector is composed by a Silicon tracker, a calorimeter, and an anticoincidence system. The mission is based on an advanced space-proven detector technology, with unprecedented sensitivity, angular and energy resolution, combined with polarimetric capability. Thanks to its performance in the MeV-GeV domain, substantially improving its predecessors, eASTROGAM will open a new window on the non-thermal Universe. In particular it will determine the origin of key isotopes fundamental for the understanding of supernova explosions and the chemical evolution of our Galaxy. It will also shed light on the processes behind the acceleration of cosmic rays in our Galaxy

    Editorial: Diagnosis, prevention and treatment in diabetic nephropathy

    No full text
    Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the microvascular complications of diabetes affecting 30-40% of diabetic patients and represents the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Treatment strategies are rare. Given the significant healthcare impact and high economic burden of DN, there is an urgent need for adequate and targeted management of the disease for early diagnosis and prevention of progression to ESKD. Articles of this Research Topic provide a general overview of DN, highlight the importance of early detection of this disease, and suggest new diagnostic tools and treatment strategies
