Questo lavoro è frutto dell'evento internazionale TECHA 2008 - Technologies Exploitation for the Cultural Heritage Advancement, dedicato alla presentazione delle nuove tecnologie per la conoscenza, la conservazione e la valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale. Il volume si articola in due sezioni entrambe suddivise nei quattro temi strategici per il patrimonio culturale: Analisi, diagnostica e monitoraggio, Materiali e tecniche di intervento, ICT e Tecnologie sostenibili per il patrimonio culturale. La prima sezione raccoglie le relazioni di esperti nazionali e internazionali che hanno preso parte ai workshop del primo giorno; nella seconda sono presentate 150 schede tecniche di tecnologie ...

18 of the most stately retreats found in Rome and the surrounding countryside, from the Villa Medici to the splendid Villa Farnesina.
This collection reviews advances in the key areas required to achieve durable disease resistance in cereal crops, from advances in understanding pathogen biology/epidemiology and plant pathogen interactions to identifying sources of resistance and advance techniques for breeding new varieties.
The growth of princely states in early Renaissance Italy brought a thorough renewal to the old seats of power. One of the most conspicuous outcomes of this process was the building or rebuilding of new court palaces, erected as prestigious residences in accord with the new ‘classical’ principles of Renaissance architecture. The novelties, however, went far beyond architectural forms: they involved the reorganisation of courtly interiors and their functions, new uses for the buildings, and the relationship between the palaces and their surroundings. The whole urban setting was affected by these processes, and therefore the social, residential and political customs of its inhabitants. This is the focus of A Renaissance Architecture of Power, which aims to analyse from a comparative perspective the evolution of Italian court palaces in the Renaissance in their entirety. Contributors are Silvia Beltramo, Flavia Cantatore, Bianca de Divitiis, Emanuela Ferretti, Marco Folin, Giulio Girondi, Andrea Longhi, Marco Rosario Nobile, Aurora Scotti, Elena Svalduz, and Stefano Zaggia.
Plant phenotyping is an emerging technology that involves the quantitative analysis of structural and functional plant traits. However, it is widely recognised that phenotyping needs to match similar advances in genetics if it is to not create a bottleneck in plant breeding. Advances in plant phenotyping for more sustainable crop production reviews the wealth of research on advances in plant phenotyping to meet this challenge, such as the development of new technologies including hyperspectral sensors such as LIDAR, NIR/SWIR, as well as alternative delivery/carrier systems, such as ground-based proximal distance systems and UAVs. The book details the development of plant phenotyping as a technique to analyse crop roots and functionality, as well as its use in understanding and improving crop response to biotic and abiotic stresses.
