description: Il contributo presenta una serie di indagini avviate nell’ambito di una collaborazione tra il Dipartimento di Architettura e Pianificazione Territoriale DAPT dell’Università degli Studi di Bologna e il Museo Civico Archeologico di Bologna volte alla messa a punto di procedure per il rilievo e per la fruizione digitale di reperti archeologici. In particolare, il contributo illustra come le possibilità di fruizione del patrimonio storico-artistico possano essere ampliate grazie all’utilizzo di tecniche digitali in grado di innescare meccanismi percettivi multisensoriali e di coinvolgere attivamente gli utenti nella esplorazione dei contenuti presentati attraverso le collezioni. Visualizzazioni immersive, realtà aumentata e rapporto tattile, oltre che visivo, con i reperti, contribuiscono a stabilire un canale comunicativo immediato e più vicino a utenti che utilizzano quotidianamente questi strumenti di comunicazione e di accesso alle informazioni.
description: This contribution presents a series of investigations undertaken thanks to the collaboration between the Department of Architecture and Territorial Planning of the University of Bologna and the Archaeological Museum of Bologna , aimed at finding a procedure for the 3d digital survey and exploration of archaeological finds. In particular, this paper shows how users can benefit from the use of digital technologies for the fruition of historical-artistic heritage. As a matter of fact, digital communication tools stimulate multisensory perception mechanisms and therefore allow to actively involve users in the exploration of contents presented through collections. Immersive visualizations, augmented reality and both tactile and visual exploration of findings can ease the establishment of a more immediate and direct communication channel with users that generally communicate and access information using digital technologies and mediums.

Smooth pursuit tracking, volumetric MRI, and Wisconsin Card Sorting performance in first-break, adolescent schizophrenia.
Creators: name: Brown, Monica L.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Mental Health.

description: The purpose of this study was to examine whether impaired smooth pursuit tracking, which has consistently been found in studies of adult schizophrenics, also characterizes adolescents with this disorder. Volumetric brain imaging (MRI) of specific regions thought to be implicated in disordered tracking (i.e., the frontal eye fields and cerebellar vermis), Wisconsin Card Sorting performance (i.e., WCST; a test considered to index frontal lobe functioning), and a measure of the integrity of visual-vestibular interaction were also assessed to examine the possibility of co-occurrence of deficits across patients in order to provide a better understanding of the correlates of impaired smooth pursuit tracking in this disorder. Subjects included 12 adolescents with schizophrenia (6 males, 6 females; mean age = 17.7 years) who were compared to 12 gender- and age-matched normal controls (mean age = 17.1 years). A surprising absence of group differences was found on standard, computer-quantified measures of smooth pursuit tracking (i.e., root mean-square error, gain, and saccades). However, post-hoc analyses using a visual (non-automated) rating scale revealed that the lack of group differences resulted from both controls and patients displaying high rates of impaired tracking. Although analyses of brain volumetrics revealed no overall group differences, two patient sub-groups were identified based on impairments on the WCST and the visual-vestibular index, providing indirect evidence of frontal and cerebellar involvement in these sub-groups, respectively. These results question the usefulness of smooth pursuit tracking impairment in discriminating individuals with schizophrenia from normals at this young age, and are interpreted as providing indirect support for the neurodevelopmental hypothesis of schizophrenia. The need for further studies of smooth pursuit tracking in this population, using a multiparameter approach, is highlighted.

description: We show that the expectation value of the operator Ô ≡ exp (−cx̂²) + exp (−cpˆ²) defined by the position and momentum operators x̂ and pˆ with a positive parameter c can serve as a tool to identify quantum non-Gaussian states, that is states that cannot be represented as a mixture of Gaussian states. Our condition can be readily tested employing a highly efficient homodyne detection which unlike quantum-state tomography requires the measurements of only two orthogonal quadratures. We demonstrate that our method is even able to detect quantum non-Gaussian states with positive–definite Wigner functions. This situation cannot be addressed in terms of the negativity of the phase-space distribution. Moreover, we demonstrate that our condition can characterize quantum non-Gaussianity for the class of superposition states consisting of a vacuum and integer multiples of four photons under more than 50 % signal attenuation.

description: Le moderne tecniche e metodologie di rilievo digitale 3D consentono la documentazione, conservazione e rappresentazione digitale di siti e architetture con risultati straordinari dal punti di vista geometrico e visivo. Attualmente abbiamo a nostra disposizione una vasta gamma di sensori e tecnologie per rilevare dati geometrici, processarli, derivarne informazioni 2D/3D dettagliate, accurate e metriche e infine renderle disponili attraverso basi di dati online o sistemi GIS. L'articolo presenta le attuali tecniche di rilievo per la modellazione 3D di siti culturali e architetture complesse. Esempi e problematiche sono riportati con lo scopo di valutare criticamente lo stato attuale del rilievo 3D, le potenzialità e i possibili sviluppi futuri.
description: The actual techniques and methodologies for 3D surveying and modeling allow to achieve very satisfactory and impressive results in the field of documentation, conservation and representation of architectural sites and heritage objects. A great variety of active or passive sensors are available for data acquisition. These data are then processed in order to derive metric 3D information and share them using online databases or GIS tools. But despite the large amount of data, the processing methodologies are still relying very often on manual restitution as automatic method are still not enough reliable for the detailed and precise 3D reconstruction of architectural scenarios and drawings. The articles reports the actual 3D surveying methodologies and data processing techniques with a critical description of open problems and research issues.

description: Background: Direct primary care provision of first-trimester medical abortion could potentially address inequitable abortion access in Canada. However, when Health Canada approved the combination medication Mifegymiso® (mifepristone 200 mg/misoprostol 800 mcg) for medical abortion in July 2015, we hypothesized that the restrictions to distribution, prescribing, and dispensing would impede the uptake of this evidence-based innovation in primary care. We developed and pilot-tested a survey related to policy and practice facilitators and barriers to assess successful initiation and ongoing clinical provision of medical abortion service by physicians undertaking mifepristone training. Additionally, we explored expert, stakeholder, and physician perceptions of the impact of facilitators and barriers on abortion services throughout Canada. Methods: In phase 1, we developed a survey using 2 theoretical frameworks: Greenhalgh’s conceptual model for the Diffusion of Innovations in health service organizations (which we operationalized) and Godin’s framework to assess the impact of professional development on the uptake of new practices operationalized in Légaré’s validated questionnaire. We finalized questions in phase 2 using the modified Delphi methodology. The survey was then tested by an expert panel of 25 nationally representative physician participants and 4 clinical content experts. Qualitative analysis of transcripts enriched and validated the content by identifying these potential barriers: physicians dispensing the medication, mandatory training to become a prescriber, burdens for patients, lack of remuneration for mifepristone provision, and services available in my community. To assess the usability and reliability of the online survey, in phase 3, we pilot-tested the survey for feasibility. Results: We developed and tested a 61-item Mifepristone Implementation Survey suitable to study the facilitators and barriers to implementation of mifepristone first-trimester medical abortion practice by physicians in Canada. Conclusions: Our team operationalized Greenhalgh’s theoretical framework for Diffusion of Innovations in health systems to explore factors influencing the implementation of first-trimester medical abortion provision. This process may be useful for those evaluating other health system innovations. Identification of facilitators and barriers to implementation of mifepristone practice in Canada and knowledge translation has the potential to inform regulatory and health system changes to support and scale up facilitators and mitigate barriers to equitable medical abortion provision.

description: The measured pseudorapidity distribution of primary charged particles in minimum-bias d+Au collisions at sqrt[SNN]=200 GeV is presented for the first time. This distribution falls off less rapidly in the gold direction as compared to the deuteron direction. The average value of the charged particle pseudorapidity density at midrapidity is 〈dNch/dη〉∣η∣≤0.6=9.4±0.7(syst) and the integrated primary charged particle multiplicity in the measured region is 82±6(syst). Estimates of the total charged particle production, based on extrapolations outside the measured pseudorapidity region, are also presented. The pseudorapidity distribution, normalized to the number of participants in d+Au collisions, is compared to those of Au+Au and p+p; systems at the same energy. The d+Au distribution is also compared to the predictions of the parton saturation model, as well as microscopic models.

description: Queste linee programmatiche di ricerca, all’intersezione disciplinare tra la documentazione del patrimonio costruito e le tecnologie dell’informazione e della comunicazione, hanno l’ambizione di definire un insieme di elementi di ordine tecnico riguardanti lo sviluppo di sistemi informativi a scala architettonica integrandoli in seno a riflessioni di ordine metodologico legate alle problematiche scientifiche sollevate dallo studio degli edifici storici. Tre aspetti principali si integrano in un approccio trasversale. Innanzitutto la definizione di protocolli per l’acquisizione, il trattamento e la strutturazione semantica di rappresentazioni digitali di manufatti architettonici. In secondo luogo, l’identificazione di soluzioni per l’inteconnessione di molteplici sistemi di rappresentazione relativi a varie scale. Infine, la definizione di nuovi percorsi per l’analisi comparativa di artefatti architettonici basata su criteri dimensionali, morfologici e semantici.

Three main aspects are integrated in a cross approach. First, the definition of protocols for acquisition, processing and semantic structuring of digital representations of architectural artifacts. Secondly, the identification of solutions for interconnecting multiple representation systems at various scales. Finally, the definition of new way for the comparative analysis of architectural artifacts based on dimensional, morphological and semantic criteria.

description: In this paper we propose a new software architecture for mobile agent toolkits. Agent toolkits mainly consist of a software system that forms an agency, which is responsible to host mobile and stationary software agents. In contrast to most architectures developed so far, which already define a large set of high-level services for agent migration and communication, we propose to employ a kernel-based approach. The kernel only provides fundamental concepts and functions and abstracts from any of these high-level services. We propose a new model for agencies and present our Tracy mobile agent toolkit acting as a reference implementation of our new model.

description: Die Berichterstattung zur Emissionsentwicklung ist eine wichtige Säule der Klimapolitik. Sie ermöglicht zum einen den Fortschritt in Bezug auf die Klimaziele zu messen. Zum anderen kann die Wirksamkeit bestimmter Maßnahmen nur mit entsprechenden Daten beurteilt werden: Historische Daten sind für die Ex-post-Evaluierung unabdingbar, für die Ex-ante-Abschätzung kommen projizierte Daten und Modellierungsergebnisse dazu. Die verschiedenen Berichte/Datenquellen unterscheiden sich sowohl in Bezug auf den abgedeckten Zeitraum, die erfassten Emissionen sowie die verwendeten Klassifikationssysteme. Daher ist ein Vergleich der Daten und Datenkonzepte nicht immer leicht möglich. Ziel dieses Handbuchs ist es die Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede der Datenkonzepte darzustellen und dadurch die Auswertungen zum stationären EU-Emissionshandel (EU-ETS) zu verbessern. Im Handbuch werden die Datenkonzepte im EU-ETS in Deutschland und der EU dargestellt. Die Abgrenzung des Emissionshandelssektors in anderen Berichtskategorien werden für das Treibhausgasinventar und im Vergleich zur Klassifikation der Wirtschaftszweige herausgearbeitet.

description: Reporting on emissions development is an important pillar of climate policy. On the one hand, it allows to measure progress towards climate targets. On the other hand, the effectiveness of certain measures can only be assessed with corresponding data: Historical data are indispensable for ex-post evaluation, projected data and modelling results are added for ex-ante assessment. The various reports/data sources differ both in terms of the period covered, the emissions recorded, and the classification systems used. Therefore, a comparison of data and data concepts is not always easy. The aim of this handbook is to present the similarities and differences of the data concepts and thereby improve the evaluations on stationary EU emissions trading (EU-ETS). The handbook presents the data concepts in EU-ETS in Germany and the EU. The delimitation of the emissions trading sector in other reporting categories is elaborated for the greenhouse gas inventory and the classification of economic activities. Quelle: Foschungsbericht

description: Dans ma thèse “León de Greiff y la tradición literaria” je fais une étude du concept de « Tradition » dans l’œuvre poétique de l’un des plus importants écrivains colombiens du XXème siècle. Je propose que l’appropriation greiffienne de différents éléments provenant de diverses sources littéraires – comprenant la littérature orientale, la poésie médiévale européenne, la poésie française symboliste –, défie la notion classique du concept de «tradition». Pour De Greiff, celle-ci constitue un espace individuel d’autocréation construit à partir d’affinités esthétiques et philosophiques, et non sur la base d’une continuité chronologique ou une appartenance géographique. L’approche théorique de notre étude se concentre sur les idées de Harold Bloom, T.S. Eliot et Octavio Paz. Sur la base de leurs théories j’ai essayé d’élaborer une définition alternative du concept de la Tradition. -- “León de Greiff y la tradición literaria” examines the particular concept of “tradition” underlying the work of this major XXth century Colombian poet. I contend that the appropriation of several literary and historical sources – ranging from medieval European literature, oriental sources, to the most symbolists French poets – undertaken by De Greiff challenges the classical notion of this idea. I have proposed a reading of this author’s poetry as an attempt to observe tradition as an unrestricted space of individual creation operating through aesthetic and philosophical affinities rather than strict chronological continuity. The theorical approach of my dissertation focuses on the works of Harold Bloom, T.S. Eliot and Octavio Paz. Based on their ideas I have tried to elaborate an alternative definition of the concept of Tradition.

description: Le strumentazioni e le tecnologie digitali hanno arricchito le possibilità di rappresentazione e di comunicazione dell’architettura. Il disegno digitale si articola secondo le due fasi della visualizzazione e della costruzione, ovvero modeling e rendering, dicotomia strutturante le tecnologie software. Le modalità di visualizzazione conducono a diversi tipi di raffigurazioni dello stesso modello 3D e le strumentazioni producono una separazione tra atto del disegnare ed immagine prodotta. Se la modellazione inversa è riferibile ad un processo di sintesi, quella diretta segue una procedura analitica. La differenza tra applicazioni interattive ed applicazioni non interattive è correlata alle possibilità offerte dalle strumentazioni informatiche, e si relaziona alle fasi di visualizzazione e di costruzione. Il termine ‘modello’ al contempo descrivere differenti fenomeni (files): Modello matematico dell’oggetto e della scena; Modello rappresentativo raster di sintesi e con elaborazioni di postprocessamento. L’insieme correlato di questi modelli costituisce il complessivo modello interpretativo architettonico: il fine è quello di produrre una simulazione della realtà secondo un ruolo conoscitivo del modello.
description: Digital instruments and technologies enrich architectonical representation and communication opportunities. Computer graphics is organized according the two phases of visualization and construction, that is modeling and rendering, structuring dichotomy of software technologies. Visualization modalities give different kinds of representations of the same 3D model and instruments produce a separation between drawing and image’s creation. Reverse modeling can be related to a synthesis process,  ‘direct modeling’ follows an analytic procedure. The difference between interactive and not interactive applications is connected to the possibilities offered by informatics instruments, and relates to modeling and rendering. At the same time the word ‘model’ describes different phenomenon (i.e. files): mathematical model of the building and of the scene; raster representation and post-processing model. All these correlated different models constitute the architectonical interpretative model, that is a simulation of reality made by the model for improving the knowledge.

description: Una rappresentazione della città contemporanea parla non solo di architettura e paesaggio, ma anche degli effetti che le istituzioni politiche, le tradizioni culturali e le imprese economiche hanno sulla comunità urbana. Metodi e modalità tradizionalmente utilizzati per presentare la complessità e, al tempo stesso, la personalità di una città, o su scala più piccola uno dei suoi monumenti, non sono adatti alla realtà contemporanea. La nota tavola di Aldo Rossi “Città analoga” in mostra alla Biennale di Venezia del 1976, con architetture reali e ideali, monumenti antichi e paesaggi contemporanei, memorie individuali e collettive, presenze umane e spazi vuoti, può essere presa ad esempio per la preparazione di una nuova “storia” o di una nuova “mappa” per una città come Venezia. Lo spazio di un modello digitale può diventare un luogo di discussione e di analisi, un luogo dove vedere insieme documenti storici e progetti mai realizzati, dove mettere visioni soggettive e oggettive, che si sovrappongono alle tracce quotidiane e occasionali.
description: A contemporary city representation talks not only about architecture and landscape but also about the effects that political institutions, cultural traditions and economic enterprises have on the urban community. Methods and ways traditionally used to present the complexity and, at the same time, the personality of a town, or on a smaller scale of one of his monument, are not suitable with the contemporary reality. A very famous panel presented at Venice Biennale in 1976, Aldo Rossi’s «Città Analoga», within real and ideal architectures, ancient monuments and contemporary landscapes, individual and collective memories, human presences and empty spaces, can be taken as an example for the preparation of a new ‘story’ or a new ‘map’ for a city like Venice. The space of a digital model can become a place for discussion and analysis, a place where to see together historical records and projects never realized, where to put subjective and objective visions, which overlap daily and occasional tracks.

description: For a deeper understanding of the functional behavior of energy materials, it is necessary to investigate their microstructure, e.g., via imaging techniques like scanning electron microscopy (SEM). However, active materials are often heterogeneous, necessitating quantification of features over large volumes to achieve representativity which often requires reduced resolution for large fields of view. Cracks within Li-ion electrode particles are an example of fine features, representative quantification of which requires large volumes of tens of particles. To overcome the trade-off between the imaged volume of the material and the resolution achieved, we deploy generative adversarial networks (GAN), namely SRGANs, to super-resolve SEM images of cracked cathode materials. A quantitative analysis indicates that SRGANs outperform various other networks for crack detection within aged cathode particles. This makes GANs viable for performing super-resolution on microscopy images for mitigating the trade-off between resolution and field of view, thus enabling representative quantification of fine features.

description: Pierre Daviault is a household name in the field of translation in Canada. He holds a prominent place thanks to his contribution to the profession itself and to the teaching of professional translation, which he pioneered. He wrote numerous linguistic books to fill a gap in his time---there was no Petit Robert or Robert & Collins in the 1940s. Daviault also developed the very first professional translation course for the University of Ottawa, in the heart of Canada's capital, a bilingual country. Daviault was a published author in other realms of knowledge. His love for the French presence in Canada explains his two biographies of well-known characters of Nouvelle-France. Other works include short stories about famous and less known people of his time and ventures into the literary world in the form of two adventure novels. The entire career of Pierre Daviault spanned from the 1920s to the mid-1960s and revolved around one subject: the French language. Everything he did or created over his long and successful career related, in one way or another, to this passion.

description: La cultura della tutela e della conservazione del materiale di architettura ha una storia relativamente recente, ma  è certo che il futuro degli archivi di architettura sarà costituito da materiale digitale. È quanto emerge dal panorama dell’architettura contemporanea, sempre più costituita da processi, prodotti e cicli vitali estremamente complessi, per i quali il computer ha ormai assunto un ruolo di centralità quasi assoluta. È necessario dunque capire in quale modo sia possibile catalogare l’architettura in digitale e come questo processo possa dialogare con gli archivi cartacei. La consapevolezza che il patrimonio nativo in digitale è molto più fragile di quello cartaceo comincia a pervadere le maggiori istituzioni internazionali, che hanno cominciato ad avviare programmi di ricerca. Come affrontare il problema dell’autenticità del digitale, cosa conservare di questo materiale e ancora come preservare le funzionalità dei programmi nel tempo, sono solo alcune delle domande a cui la ricerca non ha ancora dato delle risposte definitive.
description: The culture of preservation and storage regarding architectural records has a relatively recent history, but for sure the future of architectural archives will be formed of digital material. That’s what emerges from contemporary architecture’s imaginary, increasingly made up of processes, products and life cycles extremely complex, in respect of which computer’s use assumed a central undisputed role. It is therefore necessary to understand how is it possible to catalog digital architecture and how this process could relate with paper archives. The consciousness that native digital heritage is by far more fragile than printed material, begins to affect the major international institutions, that started research programs. How to deal with the issue about digital authenticity, what to preserve of this records and how to maintain program features over time, are just some questions that research has not yet given definitive answers.
Innovation education in NSW design and technology curriculum

description: Do technology teachers in secondary schools and academic stakeholders share the national vision of knowledge and innovation when implementing Design and Technology curricula? Directions for an innovation climate have been endorsed by the federal government, and demanded by various industry groups, since 1996. This paper explores the extent to which education providers of secondary schooling have embraced the call for teaching and developing innovation capacities through technology curriculum. The Australian Science, Technology and Engineering Council (ASTEC) in 1996 underpinned “foresight” as an essential dimension to our thinking which attempts to capture the dynamics of change and the need to incorporate “technacy” in primary and secondary school and teaching practices for fostering innovation capacities among students. Various national reports have since added to this agenda including the Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST) report ‘Australia’s Teachers: Australia’s Future: Advancing Innovation, Science, Technology and Mathematics’ and the posting by DEST signalling Australia’s newest national research priority to foster the uptake of innovation in human capital. There is a need to analyse and understand whether there is a capacity for NSW schools to deliver on the above agenda given historical difficulties within the State’s system to embrace new pedagogy in the field of technology education and associated teacher capital.

Abbiamo potuto constatare come  queste opere potessero amplificarsi anche in senso didattico e ben adattarsi ai percorsi tematici dei musei. Il concetto d’ambiente sensibile, prolungato nel progetto di museo, è inteso come luogo di relazione tra componente virtuale e presenza fisica. E’ un habitat narrativo, dove la persona viene chiamata a un ruolo attivo e in cui si predilige una fruizione collettiva in modo che il racconto proceda per effetto di più decisioni e che accanto alla relazione uomo tecnologia rimanga, fortissima, anche quella tra uomo e uomo. I dispositivi interattivi sono interfacce naturali, che reagiscono senza l’uso di protesi tecnologiche, ma attraverso modalità comunicative tradizionali - il tatto, la voce, un gesto, etc.- così da creare una condizione di maggiore naturalezza. Il museo diviene sempre più un luogo dinamico non solamente destinato alla raccolta e all’esposizione, che segna il passaggio da un’idea di museo di collezione a quella di museo di narrazione.[Il saggio è tratto dal libro Musei di Narrazione, edito da Silvana Editoriale nel 2011]
description: The sensitive environments, which Studio Azzurro has been developing in an artistic context since 1994, bring an open dialogue between physical elements and intangible aspects, through interactive technology. We came to realize that these works could also be extended in educational terms and could be successfully adapted to the museums thematic paths. The concept of the sensitive environment in the museum project is considered as a place in which there is an interrelation between the virtual component and the physical presence. It is a narrative habitat where the person is supposed to play an active role and where a collective enjoyment is preferred in order that the story proceeds through the effect of more than one decision and so that as well as the human relationship with technology, there also remains a powerful interpersonal relationship. The interactive systems are natural interfaces which react without the use of technological intermediaries but through traditional methods of communication- touch, the voice, a gesture, etc.- so as to create a more natural situation. The museum becomes more a dynamic place, not just a place for collecting and exhibiting: this is a distinguishing feature in the passage from an idea of a museum as a collection to that of a museum as narration.

description: Geometry, in Drawing, is suffering from a profound crisis, more than other disciplines of the area, and this crisis has confined it, according a few, within a field of study of top-grade specialization, that only few scholars are interested in. The reason for this crisis can be found in the changes that were induced, during the last thirty years, by the advent of the information technology, but not only there. It can also be found, in my opinion, in the rightful ambition of all of us architects to carry out research, an ambition that the traditional Geometry, both descriptive and more in general graphical, could not satisfy. In fact, that part of descriptive geometry, which deals with the graphical representation on a plane of three-dimensional objects, has been outclassed by 3D modelling, both in simplicity of execution and in quality of the results. Whilst the graphical geometry has been neglected even by the mathematicians, during the axiomatic turning-point of the 1920s, a part from some exceptions - Coxeter - and a few recent reconsiderations. Yet, geometry continues to play a leading role in drawing, in general, and in architecture, in particular, and I refer to the historical studies, to the studies of surfaces, to the relation with art and, last but not least important, to teaching.
description: La Geometria del Disegno ha subito, più di ogni altra disciplina dell’area disciplinare del Disegno, una crisi profonda, che l’ha confinata, secondo alcuni, in un ambito di studi di alta specializzazione, assai poco frequentato. La causa di questa crisi è da ricercarsi nei mutamenti indotti, nel corso degli ultimi trent’anni, dall’avvento dell’informatica, ma non solo. È anche da ricercarsi, secondo me, nella legittima ambizione di tutti noi a fare ricerca, una ambizione che la Geometria tradizionale, sia essa descrittiva, sia sintetica più in generale, non poteva soddisfare. Infatti quella parte della geometria descrittiva che si occupa della rappresentazione grafica sul piano degli oggetti a tre dimensioni è stata surclassata dalla modellazione 3D, per semplicità di esecuzione e qualità dei risultati. Mentre la geometria sintetica è stata abbandonata persino dai matematici, negli anni Venti della svolta assiomatica, e pur con qualche eccezione – Coxeter - e qualche recentissimo ripensamento.Pure, la geometria continua a svolgere un ruolo centrale nel disegno in generale e in quello di architettura, in particolare, e mi riferisco agli studi storici, allo studio delle superfici, ai rapporti con l’arte e, ultimo ma non per importanza, all’insegnamento.

description: The digital revolution poses several questions to scholars of architectural representation. It is now difficult to speak of Geometry, because we have to distinguish between various geometries , and we can expand the potential construction of topology  and form finding of parametric relationships. It also raises the question about the current function of Drawing: from the undisputed foundation of the arts, in fact, drawing can now be replaced by images obtained by a process that often begins with the construction of a 3D model, then coated with materials and inserted in an existing or imagined setting that provides light sources. This process has strong similarities with the traditional artistic practices denouncing a foundation in their roots in contrast to its revolutionary potential.
description: La rivoluzione digitale pone molti quesiti agli studiosi della rappresentazione architettonica. Risulta oggi problematico parlare di Geometria, perché si distinguono diverse geometrie e si ampliano le potenzialità conformative attraverso le applicazioni della topologia e il form finding delle relazioni parametriche.Si pone anche il problema circa l'attuale funzione del Disegno: da indiscusso fondamento delle arti, infatti, oggi il disegno può essere sostituito da immagini spesso ottenute con un processo che comincia con la costruzione di un modello 3D, poi rivestito di materiali e inserito in un'ambientazione esistente o immaginaria che prevede l'introduzione di sorgenti luminose. Tale processo presenta forti analogie con le pratiche artistiche tradizionali, denunciando un fondamento nelle loro radici in contrasto con la sua carica rivoluzionaria.

description: Die Studie zeigt auf, welche Kombinationen aus Antriebssystem und Kraftstoff - auch als Energieversorgungsoption bezeichnet - einen treibhausgasneutralen Verkehr in Deutschland im Jahr 2050 möglich machen. Auf Basis bestehender Forschungsarbeiten und Studienergebnisse wird ein systematischer Überblick über postfossile Optionen gegeben. Zu den potentiellen postfossilen Kraftstoffen zählen regenerativer Strom, aus regenerativem Strom hergestellte Kraftstoffe wie Power-to-Gas (PtG-Wasserstoff, PtG-Methan) und Power-to-Liquid (PtL) sowie Biokraftstoffe, zu den Antrieben neben Verbrennungsmotoren Elektromotoren, Hybride (Plug-in-Hybride, Elektrofahrzeuge mit Range-Extender) sowie Brennstoffzellen. Für Pkw, Lkw, Linienbus, Flugzeug und Seeschiff wurde untersucht, mit welcher postfossilen Energieversorgungsoption die jeweils höchsten Treibhausgasminderungen erreicht werden können. Außerdem wurden weitere ökologische, ökonomische, technische, infrastrukturelle sowie systemische Aspekte in die ganzheitliche Bewertung der Energieversorgungsoptionen einbezogen.
