Review of Gianni Vattimo, A Farewell to Truth, trans. William McCuaig. New York
Daniel Mariano Leiro
Mar 23, 2016
Could a book such as A Farewell to Truth by Gianni Vattimo have been better received? It doesn’t seem so. Those who think that saying goodbye to the truth might be a much too risky business are still the majority. However...

Stability Analysis of Nonlinear Rotating Systems Using Lyapunov Characteristic Exponents Estimated From Multibody Dynamics
The use of Lyapunov Characteristic Exponents to assess the stability of nonlinear, time-dependent mechanical systems is discussed. Specific attention is dedicated to methods capable of estimating the largest exponent without...
A millennium-long reconstruction of damaging hydrological events across Italy.
Damaging hydrological events are extreme phenomena with potentially severe impacts on human societies. Here, we present the hitherto longest reconstruction of damaging hydrological events for Italy, and for the whole...
Probable Maximum Flood – The Potential for Estimation in the UK using ReFH2
The current reservoir safety guidance within the UK recommends the use of the FSR/FEH rainfall-runoff model to estimate PMF (probable maximum flood) peak flows for reservoirs within the highest risk category (A). However, the...

Light Management with Natural Materials
The possibility of structuring material at the nanoscale is essential to control light-matter interactions and therefore fabricate next-generation paints and coatings. In this context, nature can serve not only as a source of...

Anomalous-Diffusion-Assisted Brightness in White Cellulose Nanofibril Membranes.
Matti S Toivonen, Olimpia D Onelli, Gianni Jacucci, Ville Lovikka, Orlando J Rojas, Olli Ikkala, Silvia Vignolini
Sep 27, 2018
The understanding of the interaction between light and complex, random structures is the key for designing and tailoring the optical appearance and performance of many materials that surround us, ranging from everyday consumer...

A depth-duration-frequency analysis for short-duration rainfall events in England and Wales.
This study presents a depth–duration–frequency (DDF) model, which is applied to the annual maxima of sub-hourly rainfall totals of selected stations in England and Wales. The proposed DDF model follows from the standard...

Sep 02, 2022
BACKGROUND: The present case-series describes the first full-robotic colorectal resections performed with the new CMR Versius platform (Cambridge Medical Robotics Surgical, 1 Evolution Business Park, Cambridge, United Kingdom)...
Conservative treatment for cystic duct stenosis in a child.
Marco Gasparetto, Laura Giordano, Mara Cananzi, Valeria Beltrame, Gianni Bisogno, Graziella Guariso
Feb 15, 2019
Introduction. Few cases of common bile duct stenosis have been reported in the literature, and observations of strictures in the cystic duct are even more rare. Surgical cholecystectomy is the treatment needed in most cases of...
Increased platelet adhesion and thrombus formation in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease
Ilaria Canobbio, Caterina Visconte, Barbara Oliviero, Gianni Guidetti, Marta Zara, Giordano Pula, Mauro Torti
Dec 01, 2016
Vascular dysfunctions and Alzheimer's disease show significant similarities and overlaps. Cardiovascular risk factors (hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, obesity, atherosclerosis and diabetes) increase the risk of vascular...

Coherent backscattering of light by an anisotropic biological network.
Gianni Jacucci, Olimpia D Onelli, Antonio De Luca, Jacopo Bertolotti, Riccardo Sapienza, Silvia Vignolini
Jan 07, 2019
The scattering strength of a random medium relies on the geometry and spatial distribution of its components as well as on their refractive index. Anisotropy can, therefore, play a major role in the optimization of the...
