On the Traces of Vincenzo Scamozzi's Unrealized Projects for Rialto Bridge
No full textThe purpose of this study is to bring to light two design ideas of Vincenzo Scamozzi (1548–1616), developed by the architect for the Rialto bridge in Venice. The work
aims at the virtual reconstruction of the design solutions for a three-arch and single-arch bridge, which were presented during the competition held in the years 1587
and 1588. The research is based on the investigation of historical documentation of written and graphic sources of the era and on the critical considerations that emerged
from the comparison of the documents, also paying attention to the research of accredited scholars who have dealt with the topic over the years. The results of this
investigation have been translated into 3D digital models, which make it possible to provide greater awareness of the competition projects, until now relegated to mere
two-dimensional representations, at a visual level and therefore of the perception of the building concerning the project created by Antonio Da Ponte (1512–1597).
Furthermore, digital reconstructions allow us to verify on an urban scale the relationships that would have arisen with the immediate surrounding city fabric and
the reasons that presumably led these projects to their failure to be realized
Time evolution of dynamic propensity in a model glass former. The interplay between structure and dynamics
No full textBy means of the isoconfigurational method we calculate the change in the propensity for motion that the structure of a glass-forming system experiences during its relaxation dynamics. The relaxation of such a system has been demonstrated to evolve by means of rapid crossings between metabasins of its potential energy surface (a metabasin being a group of mutually similar, closely related structures which differ markedly from other metabasins), as collectively relaxing units (d-clusters) take place. We now show that the spatial distribution of propensity in the system does not change significantly until one of these d-clusters takes place. However, the occurrence of a d-cluster clearly de-correlates the propensity of the particles, thus ending up with the dynamical influence of the structural features proper of the local metabasin. We also show an important match between particles that participate in d-clusters and that which show high changes in their propensity.Fil: Rodriguez Fris, Jorge Ariel.

Adrian Frazier, The Adulterous Muse: Maud Gonne, Lucien Millevoye and W. B. Yeats
No full textThis is a compulsively readable book. One would expect no less from the author of Yale University Press’s definitive biography of George Moore (2000), who has subsequently written about ‘the Hollywood Irish’ among other subjects. Adrian Frazier is an experienced and assiduous collator of facts. In this outing he also flirts with a temptation to which biographers succumb at their peril: personal disdain. At a seminar in London presenting his book Frazier prefaced its main topic ironically with..
Mary – a model for Christians in Martin Luther’s theology
No full textThe article presents one of the aspects of Martin Luther’s Mariology. When she speaks of Mary,
She is primarily called the Mother of the Savior. However, that’s not all he has to say about her.
He sets Mary as a model of conduct. The author focuses on Luther’s sermons collected in his domestic
postil from 1530–1534 and the Commentary on the Magnificat. These two works by the reformer are a treasury depicting Mary’s conduct
A Framework For Experimental Evaluation of Opinion Diffusion Models
No full textTitle: A Framework for Experimental Study of Opinion Diffusion Models Author: Dominik Jelínek institute: IUUK Supervisor: Martin Koutecký, IUUK Abstract: Our theoretical contribution centers on defining possible diffusion steps decreasing either Kendall-tau or Spearman's footrule distance between two bucket orders, which are orders with ties. These diffusion steps give us a new ability to work with, among others, election data where voters can specify any number of top preferences. From the practical contribution, we have developed an experimental framework specialized for working with bucket orders. The framework's easily extendable architecture provided by the usage of strategy design pattern allows for the generation and comparison of various models at a large scale. A part of a framework is an extensive list of important metrics and visualization techniques to observe and compare the behavior of different models. Keywords: bucket order, diffusion model, social network, framework, election ii

Hydrophobicity and geometry: Water at curved graphitic-likesurfaces and within model pores in self-assembled monolayers
No full textIn this work we perform molecular dynamics simulations of water in contact with simple modelhydrophobic surfaces and pores in order to test the role of local geometry on hydrophobicity. Specif-ically, we study different quantities like orientational ordering, density fluctuations and water residencetimes (autocorrelation functions) around graphene sheets, at the exterior of single-walled carbon nano-tubes, at alkane-like self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and at pores of different sizes carved in suchSAMs. We show that in the case of the convex graphitic-like surfaces, the cuvature does not affect thelocal hydrophobicity. However, significant curvature dependence will be made evident for the concavesurfaces of the pores carved in the SAMs. The geometrically induced dehydration that occurs as the poresize reaches the subnanometric regime might be operative in realistic settings like protein binding siteswhich require water remotion upon ligand binding.Fil: Alarcon, Laureano Martin.

Activated dynamics and timescale separation within the landscape paradigm: Signature of complexity, diversity and glassiness
No full textThe landscape paradigm has become a widespread picture within the realm of complex systems. Complex systems include a great variety of systems, ranging from glasses to biopolymers, which display a common dynamical behavior. Within this framework, the dynamics of a such a system can be envisioned as the search it performs on its (potential energy) landscape. This approach rests on the belief that the relaxation behavior depends only on generic features, irrespective of specific details and lies on the validity of a timescale separation scenario computationally corroborated but not properly validated yet form first principles. In this work we shall show that the prevalence of activated dynamics over other kinds of mechanisms determines the emergence of complex dynamical behavior. Thus, complexity and diversity are not intrinsic properties of a system but depend on the kind of exploration of the landscape. We shall focus mainly on an ample generic context (complex hierarchical systems which have been used as models of glasses, spin glasses and biopolymers) and a specific one (model glass formers). For the last case we shall be able to reveal (in mechanistic terms) the microscopic rationale for the occurrence of timescale separation. Furthermore, we shall explore the connections between these two up to now mostly unrelated contexts and the relation to a variational principle, and we shall reveal the conditions for the applicability of the landscape approach.Fil: Appignanesi, Gustavo Adrian.
