Ambienti per design. Note di lettura

Ambienti per design un suono udito una cosa vista (EXIT) di Zeno Birolli uscì nel 1983, all’interno della raccolta Sorbi, tordi &amp; nitidezze, un volume che radunava materiali vecchi e lavori nuovi con il sottotitolo di Arte in Italia dopo la Metafisica. Il libro, relativamente noto nella produzione storico artistica di Zeno Birolli, rappresenta il frutto di una stagione intensa di elaborazione intellettuale e progettuale: nell’idea dell’autore doveva presentarsi come una sorta di silloge di un decennio di riflessioni sulle arti nel periodo tra le due guerre. Tra i nuovi studi critici pubblicati nella raccolta, Ambienti per design risulta essere sia per numero di pagine sia per contenuti uno dei più autorevoli e impegnati. Il testo è la descrizione dettagliata di alcuni interni creati per le mostre dell’abitazione e dell’arredamento moderno della Triennale milanese del 1936, ma il tema dominante si raccoglie intorno all’idea che vi sia “un legame che procede dalla prima metafisica di De Chirico [...], si permuta nell’opera di alcuni pittori e scultori della postmetafisica e nel razionalismo architettonico degli anni trenta e quaranta, sino allo spazio scenico di Antonioni”.
Rapid absorption denaturalized collagen dressings

The World Health Organization and United Nations issued a warning statement on the world’s health in September 2011 on hard to heal wounds as 2-3% of world population is expected to suffer severe wound in life. Estimated cost of treating chronic wounds is between 2-3% of annual healthcare budgets (treatments and hospitalization). Essential part of the wound care treatment (after removal of devitalized tissue) is the use of dressings to promote autolysis and reduce microbial presence. 
EKOLBER has developed a rapid absorption linear (denaturalized) collagen made wound dressing (called NaturalSkin). This solution allows to improve dressings healing characteristics (due to rapid and complete absorption of the matrix) and reduction of dressing application times with a remarkable low price. Those improvements will contribute to reduce hospitals wound care costs and effectivity considerably.
The advanced wound dressing market is an enormous and growing market because the number of patients suffering from hard to deal and chronic wounds. Main factors driving the appearance of this kind of wounds are the diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and the aging. 
Taking into account Natural Skins benefits, market needs and enormous existing market, a clear business opportunity for EKOLBER is outlined.
In this Phase 1 project, a feasibility study will be held to analyse the viability of the whole project, analysing market, product, business and financial features in order to guarantee the profitability of the investment in the identified markets and future scenarios.
Comparison of stable isotope time series of stalagmite and meteorological data from West Java, Indonesia

Abstract Stable isotopic variations (i.e. δ 18 O and δ 13 C) of stalagmites have been widely recognized as a powerful tool to reconstruct the paleoclimate/environment of terrestrial areas. δ 18 O and δ 13 C values of a stalagmite calcite are known, however, to be cumulative signals of complex climatic and hydrogeological processes. In order to assess the reliability of stable isotopic ratios of stalagmites as climate proxies, we performed a systematic comparison between the temporal variation in annual precipitation amounts and temporal variation in δ 18 O and δ 13 C values of a stalagmite calcite. First, we analyzed a stalagmite collected in Ciawitali Cave, West Java, Indonesia. This finding is that the number of growth bands is coincident with uranium series disequilibrium age, within error. This is the first documentation of a stalagmite having annual bands in the Asian equatorial region. Next, we compared annual variations in δ 18 O and δ 13 C values in the growth bands with annual variations in precipitation amounts that have occurred since the 1950s at Cikidang station near the cave, showing significant negative correlations. This result suggests that δ 18 O and δ 13 C values in stalagmites calcite are effective proxies of ancient precipitation in this study area. Furthermore, based on travel time of dripwater in Ciawitali Cave (Yamada et al., 2008), this study performed the systematic comparison between temporal variation in annual precipitation amounts and those in δ 18 O and δ 13 C values of the stalagmite calcite, by taking the travel time of groundwater into account. Negative correlation disappears when the travel time is taken into consideration, suggesting that δ 18 O and δ 13 C values of the stalagmite calcite are immediately influenced by climatic conditions.

French mediterranean support for innovative smes

MED4INNO Project proposal is an extension of the MED2EUROPE Project financed under COSME Program for Enterprise Europe Network activity in 2015/2016. The project covers the whole of the French Mediterranean area with 3 regions: Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur, Languedoc-Roussillon and Corsica (NUTS-1 FR7).  The project will be carried out by 3 partners in the 2 major regions (PACA and LR) :
- Agence Régionale de l’Innovation et de l’Internationalisation des entreprises de la région PACA (ARII PACA) for Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur Region
- Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie de Région PACA (CCIR PACA) for Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur Region
- Transferts LR for Languedoc-Roussillon Region
As Corsica region is a small region with very few Growth SMEs, partners from PACA region will act as a relay in Corsica in close collaboration with the EEN Partner in Corsica.
The project aims at to put in place a reinforced SME Service Support, named Service Package, dedicating to support the growth of promising companies involved in innovative projects or benefiting SME Instrument grants. 
MED4INNO Project matches perfectly the work program defined by the European Commission concerning its support to SMEs. European SMEs have demonstrated for several years that they pull European growth and that they are the backbone in Europe for innovation, investment and job creation.  Unfortunately innovative SMEs are often too small or too young or less capitalized than any other companies to grow. The final impact of support service provided is similar to the objective of SME Instrument: to turn our SMEs with significant innovation activities into investors’ ready SMEs.
INSECT SCREEN AND TRAP

An insect screen trap for preventing access of insects into a substantially enclosed structure having at least one entry point, the insect screen comprising a frame structure adapted to be secured relative to the entry point, such that the frame structure is substantially complementary to the entry point and defines a rear face directed towards the interior of the substantially enclosed structure and a front face which is directed towards the exterior of the substantially enclosed structure, and mesh secured to the frame structure, such that a cavity is formed between the rear face and the front face and the front face comprises at least one aperture, whereby in use, an insect landing on the front face of the insect screen is directed to the cavity via the at least one aperture and is unable to exit the cavity.
Electrostatic charging of an aircraft due to airborne dust particles impacts

An approach for computing the electrostatic charging of an aircraft flying in a soil dust cloud is discussed. This approach combines a semi-empirical equation obtained by flight test data, atmospheric dust particle concentrations obtained either by numerical weather forecasting models or in situ measurements, a vortex lattice-based aerodynamic simulation model, and the aerodynamic and inertial characteristics of soil dust particles. Application of the proposed approach showed that the aircraft acquires an equilibrium electrostatic charge in a matter of seconds. This means that the electrostatic charging of the aircraft due to soil dust is as important as any other source of electrostatic charging.
Interpersonal Coordination Dynamics in Psychotherapy: A Systematic Review

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of interpersonal coordination (i.e., covariation over time) in different modalities (e.g., physiology, language) during psychotherapy and their importance for understanding the dynamics of psychotherapeutic interaction and efficacy. Methods We conducted a systematic review of all studies examining some form of interpersonal coordination in a psychotherapeutic context. Results We first summarize details of the included studies such as gender composition, therapy types, and methods used. The collation of these studies provided evidence that, during psychotherapeutic contexts, interpersonal coordination occurs in physiology, movements, interpersonal displays, and language/vocalizations. Further, it also showed that movement coordination was most frequently associated with psychotherapy outcomes, physiological coordination was most frequently associated with empathy, and coordination in a variety of modalities including language/vocalizations were most frequently associated with therapeutic alliance. Conclusions We discuss these results, shortcomings with the current literature, and highlight three crucial questions for future research. Research on interpersonal coordination in psychotherapy has potential to advance the both the research and practice of psychotherapy.
Makerspaces in the early years: enhancing digital literacy and creativity  (makey)

This two-year project involves an international and inter-sector research and training network that focuses on the potential of makerspaces, which are specific spaces that enable creative design and the production of both digital and non-digital artefacts, to foster the digital literacy and creative skills of young children. A key aim of the project is to inform educational policy and practice in this area, enabling formal learning institutions (early years settings and primary schools) to learn from practice in non-formal learning spaces, and vice-versa, and also to foster innovation and entrepreneurship in the makerspace sector, enabling SMEs to develop robust business models and appropriate resources for future work in this area. The project involves 16 academic and non-academic beneficiaries and 10 non-academic, non-beneficiary partners across 6 EU countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Romania, UK), an Associated Country (Colombia) and 4 Third Countries (Australia, Canada, South Africa and USA). This global network of university scholars, cultural industry partners in makerspaces, early years practitioners, museum educators and librarians will engage in a collaborative research and training programme that addresses 4 objectives, which are to:
1. Conduct a comprehensive review of the role of makerspaces in the formal and non-formal educational experiences of children and young people.
2. Undertake empirical research to determine how makerspaces can foster the digital literacy and creativity skills and knowledge of young children.
3. Develop a conceptual framework for analysing young children’s engagement in makerspaces.
4. Make recommendations for policy and practice that will foster innovation and entrepreneurship in SME makerspaces and facilitate the use of makerspaces for enhancing digital literacy in early childhood educational institutions and non-formal learning spaces.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMMUNICATION BETWEEN REMOTE LOCATIONS

A communication system regulates communication between a utility and a customer. The communication system can be adapted as a payment metering system by incorporating a utility host, a meter, and customer interface. A payment medium can be used for transferring payment onto the system. Meter read information can be uploaded onto the payment medium where desired. A control can also be included in the system and located remote from the meter to accommodate monitoring of the meter where desired and any additional communication (Figure 4).
A simple envelope model for nonlinear power amplifiers with memory effects based on volterra expansion

For wideband communication systems, memory effects in power amplifiers (PAs) always become significant, which commonly make intermodulation-distortions (IMDs) response asymmetric in a two-tone test. The Volterra series is a general method to analyze and model the nonlinear PAs with the memory effects, while the complexity in the large number parameters to be calculated is a major limitation. In this paper, we propose a simple envelope from the Volterra series to represent the nonlinearity and the memory effects in the PAs. The proposed model reduces the parameters number remarkably and can express the asymmetric IMDs easily. The simulation results show that the proposed PA model is efficient to represent the nonlinear PA behaviors considering the memory effects.
The Cost of Post-Harvest Forward Contracting in Corn and Soybeans

This study estimates the cost of forward contracting corn and soybeans for January and March delivery from 1980 through 2009. Both corn and soybeans exhibited a downward trend in the cost of forward contracting for January delivery, in contrast to previous pre-harvest results, and the March delivery cost of forward contracting is slightly downward sloped. The cost of post-harvest forward contracting corn and soybeans averaged 2 cents and 6 cents respectively; this was much less than the cost of pre-harvest forward contracting in recent years. We did not find an increase in cost associated with income shifting associated with January delivery. We conclude that January forward contracts offer a relatively inexpensive means of smoothing income across years.
Ab initio study of low-temperature phase transformations in ternary solid solution TiCcN1−c

Abstract Complete set of totally ordered structures in TiC c N 1− c that are stable with respect to formation of anti-phase domains is considered. The calculations of the formation energies are carried out in the framework of the linearized augmented plane wave (LAPW) method as implemented in Wien2k code. The energetically preferable phases are determined for the stoichiometric compositions, c st  = 1/8, 7/8, 1/4, 3/4, and 1/2. Using the concentration wave approach the Fourier transforms of the mixing potential are extracted for these phases from ab initio calculations. The obtained data is applied to analyze temperature dependencies of long range order parameters for the phases where the ordering is described by one or two order parameters. Low-temperatures for the order–disorder phase transformations are obtained. This explains the difficulties in experimental study of the low-temperature phase diagram due to frozen kinetics: the time scales on which equilibration to the thermodynamically stable phase takes place exceed the time available for the experiment.
Lignin-Derived carbon fiber flexible supercapacitors

The current energy-storage devices, containing lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors (SCs), are typically bulky, too heavy, and rigid, to compete the particular requirements of flexible electronics. Therefore, the development of next generation efficient energy storage devices which is light, flexible, aesthetic diversity, and small units with shape-conformability, and excellent mechanical properties, with high energy and power characteristics becomes highly important. However, compared to conventional SCs, research on flexible fiber supercapacitors FSCs are still in its infancy due to their high cost, low energy density, low capacitance, poor flexibility, safety problems, toxicity and scarcity of some nanomaterials, and poor cycling stability, which continuously force us to search for alternative sustainable and high-performance electrode materials. In this respect, clearer coalitions between the lignin-derived carbon fiber composite (CFC) electrode material properties such as fiber thickness and modulated structure, porosity, functionality, effect of dopant, and electrochemical performance during capacitive studies such as capacitance, solid electrolyte interface, columbic efficiency, energy density, cyclability are needed. Notably, we sought to introduce new biodegradable gel electrolytes with high ionic conductivity, pore structures, modulated thickness, will prepare by a facile, green, nontoxic, and cost effective. Throughout the project, we will correlate the physical properties of carbon fiber composite, with their electrochemical properties by using a combination of synthetic approaches and in depth characterisation techniques including physical, chemical and electrochemical characterisation during capacitive studies. These fundamental insights will provide a great support for the design of the next generation of advanced FSCs and will accelerate their commercialisation.
Sailing to Byzantium and Byzantium of W. B. Yeats – A Symbolical Viewpoint According to the Creation of Primal Elements

Two well-known poems of W. B. Yeats are seen here in a specific perspective of Creation primal elements (earth, water, air, fire) by a symbolical point of view. Certainly, there are different interpretations of these poems, where symbolic point of view is fundamental. The very symbols which interpretation/ analyses focus on are sailing (travelling) and city (Byzantium). Through our interpretation we use to move forward: There is a fore text according to which author uses to construct/create a poem, being and feeling himself as a creator (author). According to this creative thought he move structurally and mentally travelling (sailing) to the city of a mystical significance, Byzantium (New Jerusalem) through which he try to evoke symbolically/poetically Revelation and be part elementarily with Creation of Bible, that is to say: he creates a poetry with a the creation/poetry aim to be structurally and ideally well ordered and harmonized as Creation is. In this point of view the Creation is as a fore text, structurally and symbolically organized, perfectly as it is a work of God. Moving through this perspective and seeing the creation as a work of Creation, aiming to be part of, it is the perplexity of the poet himself as a creator, maker (poet). This interpretation points out the interrelation of a poet (maker, creator) with the Creator/ God and the poesy (making, creation) with Creation and the role of the quest for the poet, symbolically expressed through a journey.

Operational Schedule Flexibility and Infrastructure Investment: Capacity Trade-Off on Single-Track Railways

To minimize costs, railways carefully match route infrastructure investment to projected traffic levels. Under structured operations according to a rigid timetable, the optimal amount of infrastructure for a given traffic volume can be determined with various models. However, North American railways use flexible operations for which planned train departure times can vary. Schedule flexibility increases the number of possible meet locations on a single track, which can lead to a combination of increased delays and infrastructure investment. When industry practitioners plan rail line capacity for flexible operations, they rarely optimize schedule flexibility and infrastructure investment simultaneously for a given level of service. To increase knowledge of the relationship between these factors, the research reported in this paper simulated operations on two representative single-track routes with rail traffic controller software. A baseline minimum-delay schedule was developed for each route under an initial infrastructure. The experiment design introduced schedule flexibility and infrastructure expansion to examine the interaction between these factors and train delay response. The results suggested that, for a given infrastructure configuration, an immediate increase in train delay occurred with small amounts of schedule flexibility. After this increase, routes became insensitive to further increases in schedule flexibility. Similarly, to maintain a level of service required substantial infrastructure investment for small amounts of schedule flexibility.
Transmissão de conhecimento musical e hegemonias culturais: um estudo dos índios Kuikuro

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo a descrição de processos e ferramentas de transmissão de conhecimento musical pelos índios Kuikuro, habitantes do Parque do Xingu, e a reflexão crítica sobre eles no contexto brasileiro. Para tanto, o método empregado é o estudo bibliográfico, que delimita a discussão de conceitos como a hegemonia cultural, o universalismo musical e a própria transmissão de conhecimento, além de sua análise histórica no Brasil, o que nos leva a elucidar formas de transmissão próprias à educação musical em sua influência por uma tradição erudita, ocidental e de fundamento conservatorial. Nossas conclusões apontam para a necessidade de investigação do contexto onde a música se insere para a compreensão de diferentes formas de transmissão de legados e práticas musicais, incluindo a necessária reflexão sobre as relações entre educação musical e etnomusicologia.
Improvements in and relating to pivoted wing doors

681,016. Doors. SAGL, K., KLANNER, R., and SAMESCH, K. R., (trading as INSTITUT FUR TECHNISCHE FORSCHUNG UND ENTWICKLUNG DIPL. ING. SAGL & CO., KOMMANDITGES). Dec. 20, 1949 [Dec. 22, 1948], No. 32638/49. Class 20(iii) A pivoted wing door with one-part wings or double folding wings has one or more guideways for guiding the inner end portions of the wings, the or each guideway being coupled to door-operating mechanism so as to move away from the door frame, when the door is opened, and towards the door frame when the door is closed. One part wings 1, Fig. 3, are pivotally attached to radial arms 3 connected to rotatable hollow posts 4 and carry rollers 5 which engage a guide rail 6. The door posts are rotated by levers 7 connected at one end to levers 11, operated by a doubleacting piston, and at the other end engaging the rail 6. Thus, as the door post 4 is rotated to open the door, the rail 6 is moved away from the door frame so that the edge of the wing does not scrape along the packing strip on the door frame and similarly as the door is closed the guide moves back towards the door frame. The outer parts 3a of the two-part wings 1a, 3a, Fig. 4, are connected directly to door posts 4 rotated by levers 7, 11 and the inner parts 1a carry rollers 5 engaging two guide rails 6a. The latter are pivoted at their outer ends 13 and engage in a pin and slide connection 15 at their inner ends, being moved towards and away from the door frame as the door is closed and opened by the mechanism which actuates the levers 11. The rollers 5 may comprise two parts 16, 17, engaging a rail 6 and guide 18, as shown, Fig. 5.
