Il progetto nazionale di ricerca Prin 2004 sui Metodi e tecniche integrate di rilevamento per la realizzazione di Modelli Virtuali dell'Architettura e della Città ha concluso il suo percorso e oggi i risultati vengono resi pubblici con questo volume. La disponibilità di molti dati sotto forma digitale ha determinato l'integrazione tra le diverse metodologie di rilevamento, sia innovative che tradizionali, il che costituisce un notevole progresso per giungere ad una conoscenza profonda e globale dell'architettura e della città. Negli ultimi quaranta anni alle tradizionali tecniche di rilevamento architettonico, che si erano sostanzialmente mantenute immutate per molti secoli, si sono aggiu...
Questo volume raccoglie, com'è nella tradizione della Collana, gli esiti di un seminario promosso dal Dottorato di ricerca in Scienze della Rappresentazione e del Rilievo della Sapienza e rivolto alla Scuola nazionale di Dottorato. Il seminario, che si è svolto per via telematica avvalendosi di un avanzato sistema di videocomunicazione e video presenza, era rivolto in particolare alle scuole locali di Dottorato affiliate alla Scuola Nazionale. In continuità con precedenti iniziative, il Seminario ha affrontato i rapporti tra la tecnologia informatica e i fondamenti scientifici della rappresentazione ponendo in particolare l'attenzione sulla questione del rinnovamento della disciplina con l'obiettivo di monitorare, approfondire e proseguire il dibattito e gli studi sullo sviluppo di questa scienza e presentare ai giovani allievi italiani la necessità di rivedere lo statuto stesso della disciplina nella sua dimensione storica, come processo di ricerca e di scoperta in continuo sviluppo.
Diabetes is an autoimmune, inflammatory disease affecting many different organ systems and exhibiting both primary and secondary defects. Because diabetes affects a wide range of cellular systems, a multidisciplinary effort has been mounted over the past several decades using a wide range of investigative techniques and methodologies in order to identify molecular mechanisms responsible for cellular dysfunction. Because primary defects at various levels of sub-cellular signaling, intracellular calcium handling, protein expression and energy regulation are often a primary consequence of diabetes. This volume is a compilation of new multidisciplinary research that will broaden our current understanding of diabetes and cardiovascular disease as well as provide the basis for the development of novel therapeutic interventions.
Fifty full-color and 350 black-and-white photographs illustrate the Birth Project exhibit, conceived by Judy Chicago, based on nearly one hundred of her works, and needleworked by women across the country. Between 1980 - 1985, Judy Chicago designed dozens of images on the subject of birth and creation to be embellished by needleworkers around the United States, Canada and as far away as New Zealand. Formatted into provocative exhibition units which included both needleworks and documentary materials, these works toured the country and Canada, eventually placed by 'Through the Flower' in numerous institutions where they are on public view or used as part of university curricula. Prior to the Birth Project, few images of birth existed in Western art, a puzzling omission as birth is a central focus of many women's lives and a universal experience of all humanity - as everyone is born. Seeking to fill this void, Judy Chicago created multiple images of birth to be realized through needlework, a visually rich medium which has been ignored or trivialized by the mainstream art community.
Based on a detailed examination of New York case law, this pathbreaking book shows how law, politics, and ideology in the state changed in tandem between 1920 and 1980. Early twentieth-century New York was the scene of intense struggle between white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant upper and middle classes located primarily in the upstate region and the impoverished, mainly Jewish and Roman Catholic, immigrant underclass centered in New York City. Beginning in the 1920s, however, judges such as Benjamin N. Cardozo, Henry J. Friendly, Learned Hand, and Harlan Fiske Stone used law to facilitate the entry of the underclass into the economic and social mainstream and to promote tolerance among all New Y...
This book is written for researchers, undergraduate students and postgraduate students, physicians and traditional medicine practitioners who develop research in the field of neurosciences, phytochemistry and ethnopharmacology or can be useful for their practice. Topics discussed include the description of depression, its biochemical causes, the targets of antidepressant drugs, animal and cell models commonly used in the research of this pathology, medicinal plants and bioactive compounds with antidepressant activity used in traditional medicine, advances in nanotechnology for drug delivery to the brain and finally the future challenges for researchers studying this pathology.
