    La neurofibromatosi di Tipo 1 in età pediatrica

    No full text
    La neurofibromatosi tipo 1 (NF1) è una condizione genetica rara, a trasmissione autosomica dominante, con rischio per i pazienti di sviluppare tumori, per lo più di istologia benigna. Si caratterizza per un coinvolgimento potenzialmente multisistemico, con esordio età dipendente. La maggior parte delle sue manifestazioni cliniche compare in età pediatrica, di qui l’esigenza di un volume dedicato alla NF1 in età evolutiva. Negli ultimi anni, un numero crescente di lavori scientifici ha investigato i complessi meccanismi molecolari che sono alla base delle varie complicanze della NF1. Abbiamo quindi inteso fornire una panoramica il più possibile completa sulla biologia molecolare della NF1, sulle correlazioni genotipo-fenotipo attualmente conosciute, sulle manifestazioni cliniche, sulla diagnosi ed il management clinico, approfondendo anche le opzioni terapeutiche per il paziente pediatrico con NF1. Questo volume, frutto del contributo dei maggiori esperti italiani del settore, si rivolge a genetisti, consulenti genetici, pediatri, neurologi, neuropsichiatri infantili, radiologi, oncologi, dermatologi, oculisti, ortopedici, e ogni altro specialista coinvolto nella gestione dei bambini e adolescenti con NF1. Sono stati inoltre inclusi capitoli sulla transizione all’età adulta e sul ruolo delle associazioni dei pazienti e della rete ERN GENTURIS sul territorio nazionale

    Beijing the new city

    No full text
    A fully illustrated and in-depth investigation of the chinese capital focused on the urban and architectural transformation during his long history and on the extraordinary changes in its urban layout within the last two decades (1990-2008). The book examines the renewal of the architectural teaching and of the production system and the fast upgrading of construction technologies that make possible the great works and projects for the 2008 Olympic Games . Many recent architectures are illustrated during their building process, including detailed information about building plans and sites. A critical analysis shows the different contributions of the western archi-stars, of the Government Architectural Offices and of the emerging new generation of Chinese architects. The various quarters under construction and the guidelines of the new Regulation Plan are illustrated also on the base of the original rare documents of the Beijing Municipal City Planning Bureau

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Stochastic architecture and eventualist theory

    No full text
    The paper illustrates the principles of the Eventualist Theory, elaborated by the artist Sergio Lombardo in the frame of his avant-garde aesthetic research. Some of these principles were applied to the architecture in the research on “Stochastic Architectural Composition”, using computer automatic procedures in order to create new forms and volume aggregations. Several methods were invented and first experiments results are described and illustrated in the article

    Variations on the Author

    “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
