    Impact of thermal bridges on the energy response of a building

    No full text
    The European building stock is mainly constituted by highly energy demanding buildings. The only way to a more sustainable and decarbonized building stock is through its massive renovation. Furthermore, in order to meet the performance objectives by the European Directives within the 2050 it is necessary to drastically increase the deep renovation rate. Hence, this study is related to the application of timber based multifunctional prefabricated facades for existing buildings retrofit reducing the heating demand by the 68%. In particular, the facade panels are fixed to the existing structure by means of steel punctual anchorages which are inevitably generating a thermal bridge in the connection area. Another relevant thermal bridge is due to the vertical and horizonal joints between facade modules. Despite the presence of these criticalities is known, usually they are not considered in the energy performance analysis at building level. This study evaluates the effects of these thermal bridges on the overall performances through finite element tridimensional models. It has been estimated that those thermal bridges have a 3% influence on building energy performances. Furthermore, special attention has been paid for the cavity around the anchoring system, evaluating the effects of adding mineral wool insulation to minimize the thermal bridge. Thanks to this, a 20% reduction for the heating demand of the simulated building has been calculated

    “VENERE PRIVATA” DA SCERBANENCO A BACILIERI: LINGUA, STILE E RETORICA DALLA LETTERATURA AL FUMETTO

    No full text
    Il romanzo Venere privata di Giorgio Scerbanenco (1966) è tra i capostipiti del giallo italiano contemporaneo e introduce il personaggio Duca Lamberti, medico radiato dall’ordine per aver praticato l’eutanasia su una paziente e diventato, una volta scontata la pena, consulente della polizia milanese. La narrazione, la lingua e lo stile dell’autore, già studiati da diversi interventi specialistici, sono ora oggetto dell’adattamento a fumetti di Paolo Bacilieri, apparso a puntate sulla rivista Linus a partire dall’agosto 2021. La pubblicazione dovrebbe concludersi in rivista entro l’anno, ed è prevista per l’autunno 2022 l’edizione integrale in volume per Oblomov. Il presente studio affronta le prime sei puntate dell’adattamento, ne studia la lingua e lo stile in relazione al testo originale, la raffigurazione di ambienti, personaggi e situazioni in relazione agli elementi diegetici del romanzo e a modelli esterni usati da Bacilieri, infine la configurazione degli elementi iconici e verbali nelle tavole in prospettiva retorica. Ciò consente di comprendere non solo il processo e il concetto di adattamento attuati dall’autore, ma anche la lettura e l’interpretazione che questi ha fatto del racconto, della lingua e dello stile del testo originario.   Venere privata from Scerbanenco and Bacilieri: language, style and rhetoric from literature to comics Giorgio Scerbanenco’s novel Venere privata (1966) is among the progenitors of the contemporary Italian detective story and introduces the character Duca Lamberti, a doctor disbarred for practicing euthanasia on a patient and becoming, once he has served his sentence, a consultant to the Milanese police. The author’s narrative, language and style, which have already been studied by several specialist papers, are now the subject of Paolo Bacilieri\u27s comic book adaptation, appearing serialized in Linus magazine starting in August 2021. The publication is expected to be completed in the magazine within the year, and a full volume edition for Oblomov is planned for Fall 2022. The present study deals with the first six installments of the adaptation, studying the language and style in relation to the original text, the depiction of the environments, characters and situations in relation to the diegetic elements of the novel and external models used by Bacilieri, and finally the configuration of the iconic and verbal elements in the tables in rhetorical perspective. This allows us to understand not only the process and concept of adaptation implemented by the author, but also his reading and interpretation of the story, language and style of the original text

    : Two Datasets for the Computational Authorship Analysis of Medieval Latin Texts

    No full text
    We present and make available MedLatinEpi and MedLatinLit, two datasets of medieval Latin texts to be used in research on computational authorship analysis. MedLatinEpi and MedLatinLit consist of 294 and 30 curated texts, respectively, labelled by author; MedLatinEpi texts are of epistolary nature, while MedLatinLit texts consist of literary comments and treatises about various subjects. As such, these two datasets lend themselves to supporting research in authorship analysis tasks, such as authorship attribution, authorship verification, or same-author verification. Along with the datasets, we provide experimental results, obtained on these datasets, for the authorship verification task, i.e., the task of predicting whether a text of unknown authorship was written by a candidate author. We also make available the source code of the authorship verification system we have used, thus allowing our experiments to be reproduced, and to be used as baselines, by other researchers. We also describe the application of the above authorship verification system, using these datasets as training data, for investigating the authorship of two medieval epistles whose authorship has been disputed by scholars. on computational authorship analysis.

    SAT vs. Translation Based decision procedures for modal logics: a comparative evaluation

    No full text
    This paper follows on previous papers which present and evaluate various decision procedures for modal logics. It confirms previous experimental results in showing that SAT based decision procedures, i.e., the procedures built on top of decision procedures for propositional satisfiability, are more efficient than tableau based decision procedures. It also confirms previous evidence of an easy-hard-easy pattern in the satisfiability curve for modal K. Finally, it provides further experimental results, suggesting that SAT based decision procedures are also more efficient than the decision procedures based on translation methods. These results contradict some of the claims presented in previous papers by other author

    BACKGROUND: In this study we examined whether it was possible following preoperative parameters statistically significant correlation with the presence of metastatic lymph nodes in the papillary thyroid carcinoma. We conducted a retrospective study in a group of patients with a preoperative diagnosis of papillary carcinoma who underwent total thyroidectomy associated with routine lymphadenectomy of the central compartment (level VI). PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study group consisted of patients whose definitive histological lymph node examination was positive for metastasis (N1), and the control group comprised patients found negative for metastasis (N0). RESULTS: Tumour diameter had a significance at 10% level [Pr(>|z|): 0.056], thus indicating that increased tumour size results in a higher probability of being in group N1. The logistic regression revealed that variables with a significance at 5% level for the presence of metastatic lymph nodes in the central compartment (N1) were: sex [Pr(>|z|): 0.019], overall patient age [Pr(>|z|): 0.012] and age >45 [Pr(>|z|): 0.022]. We performed a statistical analysis with the association of three preoperative variables (presence of ultrasound-revealed microcalcifications, presence of solid hypoechogenic nodule and type III vascularisation on echocolour-Doppler); this was found to result in a highly significant probability of entering into group N1. CONCLUSIONS: We found variables statistically significant for the presence of metastatic central compartment lymph nodes, including female sex, age >45 yrs and tumour diameter >1.5 cm. The association of papillary carcinoma with microcalcifications, solid hypoechogenic nodule structure and type III vascularisation on echocolour-Doppler also resulted in a statistically significant increase in the probability of positive level VI lymph nodes
