    Leonico Tomeo, Niccolò

    No full text
    Niccolò Leonico Tomeo was a Paduan humanist who devoted his long life to classical scholarship. Excellent connoisseur of the Greek language, he studied and translated Plato and Aristotle directly from the original texts, refusing to resort to scholasticism and medieval annotators. Tomeo amassed a vast library of Greek philosophers and scientists and surrounded himself with young men who went to Padua from all over Europe to follow his lessons. After lecturing on Aristotle in Padua and Venice until 1509, he privately taught Plato because – as other humanists were – he was persuaded that Platonic and peripatetic theories had to be conciliated against the spreading Averroism. This perspective is well-shown by his major philosophical work, the Dialogi

    Approccio tettonico nel Mediterraneo del Global Warming

    Questo articolo esplora il ruolo della natura e dei suoi processi nel definire il paesaggio come costruzione culturale, essenziale per comprendere l'importanza dell'architettura in armonia con la Natura. Le variabili climatiche, fondamentali per l'identificazione di nuovi microclimi urbani, sono cruciali soprattutto nelle regioni mediterranee, dove la tradizione architettonica ha sviluppato soluzioni costruttive per affrontare le estremizzazioni climatiche. L'approccio tettonico, evidenziato in dispositivi come ombracoli, pergole, portici e peristili, dimostra come queste strutture possano mitigare le variazioni climatiche e adattare gli spazi urbani al riscaldamento globale. Attraverso lo studio di alcuni progetti di Schinkel ed Hoffaman, l'articolo rivela come tali dispositivi contribuiscano alla progettazione sostenibile del paesaggio contemporaneo, promuovendo il benessere degli abitanti e delineando nuovi paradigmi architettonici che integrano le proprietà fisiche, chimiche e geometriche delle variazioni climatiche

    Fooling the Kickers but not the Goalkeepers: Behavioral and Neurophysiological Correlates of Fake Action Detection in Soccer

    Studies demonstrate that elite athletes are able to extract kinematic information of observed domain-specific actions to predict their future course. Little is known, however, on the perceptuo-motor processes and neural correlates of the athletes' ability to predict fooling actions. Combining psychophysics and transcranial magnetic stimulation, we explored the impact of motor and perceptual expertise on the ability to predict the fate of observed actual or fake soccer penalty kicks. We manipulated the congruence between the model's body kinematics and the subsequent ball trajectory and investigated the prediction performance and cortico-spinal reactivity of expert kickers, goalkeepers, and novices. Kickers and goalkeepers outperformed novices by anticipating the actual kick direction from the model's initial body movements. However, kickers were more often fooled than goalkeepers and novices in cases of incongruent actions. Congruent and incongruent actions engendered a comparable facilitation of kickers' lower limb motor representation, but their neurophysiological response was correlated with their greater susceptibility to be fooled. Moreover, when compared with actual actions, motor facilitation for incongruent actions was lower among goalkeepers and higher among novices. Thus, responding to fooling actions requires updation of simulative motor representations of others' actions and is facilitated by visual rather than by motor expertise

    Mandibular bi-directional distraction osteogenesis: A technique to manage both transverse and sagittal mandibular diameters via a lingual tooth-borne acrylic plate and double-hinge bone anchorage

    Purpose: Mandibular hypoplasia can develop transversely, sagittally, or in both diameters simultaneously. Current techniques achieve either sagittal or transverse expansion with different surgeries. Here, we present a novel method to obtain transverse and sagittal mandibular distraction in one stage.Materials and methods: The technique consists of a double osteotomy: a dento-alveolar osteotomy comprising four or six anterior teeth and a vertical symphysiotomy underneath. The mandibular basal bone is immediately expanded transversely and fixed to the lower symphysis via a miniplate carrying only one screw on each side that functions as a hinge during active distraction. The plate is connected to the anterior dento-alveolar block with a metal wire ligature. A teeth-anchored lingual distraction system can expand transversely at the alveolar bone level and then sagittally with the anterior dento-alveolar segment wired to the lower plate.Results: Satisfying and stable results were achieved, confirmed by measurements on serial plaster casts.Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first proposal for ortho-surgical correction of both transversal and sagittal mandibular hypoplasia via a bi-directional distraction procedure. A combination of bone-hardware anchorage and dental-anchored distraction systems is suggested.Transmucosal hardware emergence and need for a second surgery to remove bone-borne appliances are avoided.
