Dall'Apollo 13 all'Alzheimer.</title><content type='html'>Oggi una lettura dal domenicale del Sole 24 ore ("Di chi sono i ricordi dell'astronauta", Patrizia Caraveo, pag. 30) mi ha fatto riflettere sul senso degli oggetti che aiutano a ricordare gli eventi. Oggetti che vengono considerati arpioni per la memoria, ancore contro l'oblio. E dato che nella pagina seguente dell'inserto Domenica Arnaldo Benini ("Vivere 120 anni in pessima salute") descrive le mille mostruose sfaccettature dell'Alzheimer.  &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fT5hl6tqVOA/TyUPCE0aqjI/AAAAAAAAFzU/hnTvUkcpA-0/s1600/1130-apollo_full_600.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fT5hl6tqVOA/TyUPCE0aqjI/AAAAAAAAFzU/hnTvUkcpA-0/s400/1130-apollo_full_600.jpg" border="0" alt="apollo 13 checklist"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702981031462349362" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  Patrizia Caraveo (astrofisica, una carriera scientifica dedicata alle stelle di neutroni) si interroga sulla sorte di centinaia di reliquie spaziali: il manuale dell'Apollo 13 con gli appunti e i calcoli scritti a matita dal comandante della missione, James Lovell, pietre lunari e altri oggetti. A chi appartengono? Secondo la Nasa nessuno può venderli (o metterli all'asta, come accaduto di recente per il quadernetto in questione) allo scopo di garantire una memoria collettiva e non individuale di quella stagione che oggi ricordiamo come "conquista dello spazio". La società che invecchia, come scrive Arnaldo Benini (docente di neurochirurgia e neurologia all'Università di Zurigo), è una società che in gran parte è destinata a dimenticare il suo passato. &lt;br /&gt;A meno che la medicina non riesca a sconfiggere la malattia che ruba la memoria.&lt;br /&gt;Buona domenica&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h5&gt;Andrea Mameli www.linguaggiomacchina.it 29 gennaio 2012&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2011/1201/Apollo-13-James-Lovell-s-checklist-sells-for-388-375"&gt;Apollo 13: James Lovell's checklist sells for $388,375&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nn3ZjEIKynQ/TyURf7OX-3I/AAAAAAAAFzg/ZXdf4P96RE4/s1600/apollo13.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nn3ZjEIKynQ/TyURf7OX-3I/AAAAAAAAFzg/ZXdf4P96RE4/s400/apollo13.jpg" border="0" alt="apollo 13 checklist" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702983743306201970" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-6148822389474459756?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/6148822389474459756/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=6148822389474459756&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/6148822389474459756'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/6148822389474459756'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2012/01/la-proprieta-della-memoria-dallapollo.html' title='La proprietà della memoria.

Lo afferma uno studio, pubblicato dalla rivista &lt;a href="http://pss.sagepub.com/"&gt;Psychological Science&lt;/a&gt;, firmato da &lt;a href="http://www.brocku.ca/psychology/people/hodson.htm"&gt;Gordon Hodson&lt;/a&gt; (Brock University, Ontario, Canada). La ricerca si è basata su test eseguiti in Gran Bretagna con oltre 15 mila persone, alle quali è stato misurato il &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Qi&lt;/span&gt; a 10 anni e a 30. Sono poi state sottoposte frasi del tipo "Le mamme lavoratrici sono una rovina per le famiglie", "La scuola dovrebbe insegnare a obbedire all'autorità", "Io non lavorerei mai con persone di altre razze". &lt;br /&gt;I bambini con quoziente intellettivo basso hanno mostrato le maggiori tendenze a fornire risposte marcatamente razziste. La ricerca si basa sui risultati dei test che furono somministrati a cittadini del Regno Unito nati nel marzo 1958 e nel mese di aprile 1970.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OVsbBDJPL3I/TyRdf71IFQI/AAAAAAAAFyw/S9k4hf3oE0Q/s1600/newsweek_baby_cover.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 365px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OVsbBDJPL3I/TyRdf71IFQI/AAAAAAAAFyw/S9k4hf3oE0Q/s400/newsweek_baby_cover.jpg" border="0" alt="Newsweek" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702785831375738114" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  I ricercatori avevano valutato la loro intelligenza all'età di 10 o 11 anni, e fra 30 e 33. Nel primo studio, è stata misurata l'intelligenza verbale e non verbale per mezzo di test basati sulle similitudini e le differenze tra parole, forme e simboli. Il secondo studio ha misurato le abilità cognitive nel ricordo di un numero, prove di disegno, la definizione di parole e la richiesta di individuare modelli e somiglianze tra le parole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://pss.sagepub.com/content/early/2012/01/04/0956797611421206.abstract?rss=1"&gt;Bright Minds and Dark Attitudes.

We proposed and tested mediation models in which lower cognitive ability predicts greater prejudice, an effect mediated through the endorsement of right-wing ideologies (social conservatism, right-wing authoritarianism) and low levels of contact with out-groups. In an analysis of two large-scale, nationally representative United Kingdom data sets (N = 15,874), we found that lower general intelligence (g) in childhood predicts greater racism in adulthood, and this effect was largely mediated via conservative ideology. A secondary analysis of a U.S. data set confirmed a predictive effect of poor abstract-reasoning skills on antihomosexual prejudice, a relation partially mediated by both authoritarianism and low levels of intergroup contact. All analyses controlled for education and socioeconomic status. Our results suggest that cognitive abilities play a critical, albeit underappreciated, role in prejudice. Consequently, we recommend a heightened focus on cognitive ability in research on prejudice and a better integration of cognitive ability into prejudice models.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-4474720816202009068?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/4474720816202009068/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=4474720816202009068&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/4474720816202009068'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/4474720816202009068'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2012/01/il-razzismo-prospera-dove-il-qi-e-basso.html' title='Il razzismo prospera dove il QI è basso (Racism flourishes where the IQ is low)'/><author><name>Andrea Mameli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08858907065175946731</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K8aa26UngiU/TG8m9wAv-5I/AAAAAAAAC_0/Gn-_8Hz1Udc/S220/reycoast.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2Q3y1EvRIjM/TyRdzWysntI/AAAAAAAAFy8/8xdc6NOMelc/s72-c/gordon.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462532.post-3330303172149410547</id><published>2012-01-28T19:29:00.010+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-28T20:20:41.365+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='serpente'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='snake'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bambino'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hemorrhois nummifer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Israele'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Shfaram'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Imad Gadir'/><title type='text'>Bimbo di un anno uccide serpente a morsi.

Volume: 23, Issue: 2, Publisher: The Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, Pages: 275-283&lt;br /&gt;Abstract&lt;br /&gt;Almost all phylogenetic studies utilizing fossils are faced with the problem of missing data. With the development of methods allowing total evidence phylogenies where fossils are combined with extant taxa, and molecular evidence is available, this problem is compounded. Standard methods ignore missing data and often result in poorly resolved trees, and procedures such as culling of taxa or partitioning data have been proposed to improve resolution. Here, we take a different tack, one grounded in the fact that because we do not know what the behavior of missing data would be, it is worthwhile to examine the universe of possible outcomes. The &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;MERDA&lt;/span&gt; value is the frequency with which a particular clade is recovered in replicated analyses where missing observations are replaced randomly with observable states. A technique to de-resolve missing data-dependent clades is also proposed. We also show that, in published data sets, there is little obvious relationship between &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;MERDA&lt;/span&gt; performance and standard measures of clade support such as Bremer and Jacknife indices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-t1RWSlTDC3Q/TyM0bpQgD-I/AAAAAAAAFyA/Z7Y8I5XcHkk/s1600/partyeffect.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 217px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-t1RWSlTDC3Q/TyM0bpQgD-I/AAAAAAAAFyA/Z7Y8I5XcHkk/s400/partyeffect.jpg" border="0" alt="cocktail party effect" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702459202717356002" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.ece.umassd.edu/Faculty/acosta/ICASSP/Icassp_1997/pdf/scan/ic973261.pdf"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Speech separation by simulating the cocktail party effect with a neural network controlled Wiener filter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Yuchang Cao, Sridharan, S., Moody, M.

The neural network is used as a speaker recognition system to control the iterative Wiener filter. The neural network is a modified perceptron with a hidden layer using feature data extracted from LPC cepstral analysis. The proposed technique has been successfully used for speech separation when the interference is competing speech or broad band noise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-APA86FVkMdA/TyM1s7xIY_I/AAAAAAAAFyM/gXajFs26AKM/s1600/goldfish.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 179px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-APA86FVkMdA/TyM1s7xIY_I/AAAAAAAAFyM/gXajFs26AKM/s400/goldfish.jpg" border="0" alt="goldfish" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702460599255458802" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9519704"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Not guppies, nor goldfish, but tumble dryers, Noriega, Jesse Jackson, panties, car crashes, bird books, and Stevie Wonder.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Storms G, De Boeck P, Van Mechelen I, Ruts W.

Lo hanno brevettato i ricercatori di due strutture del Consiglio nazionale delle ricerche (&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;CNR&lt;/span&gt;): l’Istituto di genetica e biofisica (&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Igb&lt;/span&gt;) e l’Istituto di biochimica delle proteine (&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Ibp&lt;/span&gt;). Agisce producendo  &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;anticorpi contro il beta-amiloide&lt;/span&gt;, un peptide coinvolto in questa forma di demenza. Lo studio è stato pubblicato sulla rivista &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Immunology and Cell Biology&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;La molecola, per la quale è stato appena concesso il brevetto italiano e per cui è stata depositata una domanda di brevetto internazionale, consiste in una proteina chimerica, ottenuta cioè dalla fusione di due proteine diverse: un piccolo frammento del peptide beta-amiloide, coinvolto nell’Alzheimer, unito con una proteina batterica. La sostanza è capace, in provetta, di auto-assemblarsi formando una struttura simile a un virus per forma e dimensioni.&lt;br /&gt;«Sono ormai 10 anni - spiega Antonella Prisco (Igb-Cnr) coordinatrice della ricerca - che ricercatori di tutto il mondo stanno esplorando la possibilità di prevenire l’Alzheimer con un vaccino: le prime sperimentazioni sull’uomo hanno acceso molte speranze, ma anche evidenziato possibili effetti collaterali gravi, che ne impediscono l’utilizzo. Usando il bagaglio di esperienze accumulato, abbiamo messo a punto la molecola (1-11)E2, cercando di minimizzarne i rischi per l’organismo e di ottimizzarne l’efficacia terapeutica». &lt;br /&gt;La sperimentazione è attualmente nella fase pre-clinica, che prevede la somministrazione del vaccino a topi normali. Il passo successivo consiste nel testare l’efficacia terapeutica e i possibili effetti collaterali in topi transgenici che sviluppano una patologia simile all’Alzheimer. &lt;br /&gt;«Il vaccino che abbiamo prodotto induce rapidamente una forte risposta anticorpale contro il peptide beta-amiloide e polarizza la risposta immunitaria verso la produzione di una citochina anti-infiammatoria, l’interleuchina-4, confermando le proprietà immunologiche auspicate» precisa la ricercatrice dell’Igb-Cnr. &lt;br /&gt;«Attualmente - sottolinea Piergiuseppe De Berardinis (Ibp-Cnr) - si ricorre ampiamente ai vaccini per prevenire le malattie infettive, ma anche una patologia come l’Alzheimer potrebbe essere prevenuta o curata mettendo in atto un processo simile. Il vaccino induce la produzione di anticorpi, questi ultimi si legano al peptide che causa la malattia, favorendone così l’eliminazione. Ora stiamo lavorando sui "carrier": molecole o micro-organismi utili a convogliare la risposta immunitaria sui bersagli desiderati». &lt;br /&gt;Fonte: &lt;b&gt;Ufficio Stampa CNR, 27 gennaio 2012&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://http://www.nature.com/icb/journal/v89/n5/full/icb2010134a.html"&gt;A multimeric immunogen for the induction of immune memory to beta-amyloid&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Francesca Mantile, Carla Basile, Valeria Cicatiello, Diana De Falco, Antonella Caivano, Piergiuseppe De Berardinis and Antonella Prisco&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Abstract&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The development of active immunotherapy for Alzheimer's disease (AD) requires the identification of immunogens that can ensure a high titer antibody response toward beta-amyloid, whereas minimizing the risks of a cell-mediated adverse reaction. We describe here two novel anti-beta-amyloid vaccines that consist of ‘virus like particles’ formed by a domain of the bacterial protein E2 that is able to self-assemble into a 60-mer peptide. Peptides 1–11 and 2–6 of beta-amyloid were displayed as N terminal fusions on the surface of the E2 particles. E2-based vaccines induced a fast-rising, robust and persistent antibody response to beta-amyloid in all vaccinated mice. The immune memory induced by a single administration of vaccine (1–11) E2 can be rapidly mobilized by a single booster injection, leading to a very high serum concentration of anti-beta-amyloid antibodies (above 1 mg ml−1). E2 vaccination polarizes the immune response toward the production of the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-4 and does not induce a T cell response to beta-amyloid. Thus, E2-based vaccines are promising candidates for the development of immunotherapy protocols for AD.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-3186887144577312031?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/3186887144577312031/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=3186887144577312031&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/3186887144577312031'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/3186887144577312031'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2012/01/si-chiama-1-11e2-ed-e-un-vaccino-di.html' title='CNR: un vaccino contro l&apos;Alzheimer (A multimeric immunogen for the induction of immune memory to beta-amyloid)'/><author><name>Andrea Mameli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08858907065175946731</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K8aa26UngiU/TG8m9wAv-5I/AAAAAAAAC_0/Gn-_8Hz1Udc/S220/reycoast.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462532.post-5348938399752296661</id><published>2012-01-27T06:47:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-27T09:46:06.752+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Planets'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Giovanni Bignami'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pianeti extrasolari'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kepler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Planetary Systems'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pianeti'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='keplero'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nasa'/><title type='text'>La missione Keplero scopre altri 26 pianeti extrasolari (NASA's Kepler Announces 11 Planetary Systems Hosting 26 Planets)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pqzKN9QAhEk/TyJZXHPkedI/AAAAAAAAFxE/X401I9kAqDk/s1600/kepler_planets_jan_2012.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pqzKN9QAhEk/TyJZXHPkedI/AAAAAAAAFxE/X401I9kAqDk/s400/kepler_planets_jan_2012.jpg" border="0" alt="Nasa Kepler Jan 2012" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702218331820685778" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; La previsione di &lt;a href="http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2011/11/un-successone-per-lincontro-con.html"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Giovanni Bignami&lt;/b&gt; (Cagliari Festival Scienza 2011)&lt;/a&gt; si sta avverando: la missione Keplero della NASA continua a fare incetta di nuovi pianeti.

Cox&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Abstract&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Recent volcanic islands of the Red Sea are Jebel at Tair, a single small volcano of tholeiitic basalt lava; the Zubair Islands with pyroclastic cones and flows intermediate between tholeiite and alkali basalt and with picrite basalt and trachybasalt blocks in the agglomerates;  the Hanish-Zukur Islands with alkali basalts accompanied by trachybasalts, trachyandesites and trachytes together with pyroclastic rocks. The chemistry of 46 lava specimens indicates that a gradational series exists between the sea-floor basalts (K-poor tholeiites) and the alkali basalts of Hanish-Zukur, with the rocks of Jebel at Tair and Zubair representing intermediate stages. Two alternative petrogenetic models are discussed to account for this gradational behaviour. One derives the parental magma from successively greater depths, the other considers derivation by successively greater fractionation on route to the surface. The relationship of the volcanoes to the opening of the Red Sea is discussed. Possibly, eruptive activity was initiated at the southern end and is migrating northwards in response to the anticlockwise rotation of Arabia relative to Africa. The Red Sea axial trough may die out southwards owing to vocanic fill from the Hanish-Zukur volcanoes.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-405430564288857313?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/405430564288857313/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=405430564288857313&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/405430564288857313'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/405430564288857313'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2012/01/nascita-di-unisola-nel-mar-rosso-le.html' title='Nascita di un&apos;isola nel Mar Rosso: le foto da satellite'/><author><name>Andrea Mameli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08858907065175946731</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K8aa26UngiU/TG8m9wAv-5I/AAAAAAAAC_0/Gn-_8Hz1Udc/S220/reycoast.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sfIPhwzR-CE/TyCBWojDD2I/AAAAAAAAFwg/smunXcedmHE/s72-c/after.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462532.post-2840390430136054212</id><published>2012-01-25T00:08:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-25T00:20:22.026+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Scale'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Universe of numbers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='universo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Universe'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cary Huang'/><title type='text'>Scale of Universe.

Sono i risultati della ricerca, condotta da un gruppo di antropologi dell'Università del Kent, che fornisce per la prima volta prove tangibili della lavorazione delle pietre da parte dei Nenderthaliani. Lo studio, pubblicato su Plos One il 23 gennaio 2012. Grazie alla combinazione di archeologia sperimentale, di morfometria e di analisi statistica multivariata, i ricercatori hanno dimostrato per la prima volta che sassi lavorati con tecnica Levallois (metodo di scheggiatura della pietra utilizzato nel Paleolitico Medio) potevano essere alla portata dei  Neanderthal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0029273"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Why Levallois? A Morphometric Comparison of Experimental ‘Preferential’ Levallois Flakes versus Debitage Flakes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Metin I. Eren, Stephen J. Lycett (Department of Anthropology, University of Kent, Canterbury, United Kingdom).  &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Plos One&lt;/span&gt;, Published: January 23, 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Abstract &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Background&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Middle Palaeolithic stone artefacts referred to as ‘Levallois’ have caused considerable debate regarding issues of technological predetermination, cognition and linguistic capacities in extinct hominins. Their association with both Neanderthals and early modern humans has, in particular, fuelled such debate. Yet, controversy exists regarding the extent of ‘predetermination’ and ‘standardization’ in so-called ‘preferential Levallois flakes’ (PLFs).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Methodology/Principal Findings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using an experimental and morphometric approach, we assess the degree of standardization in PLFs compared to the flakes produced during their manufacture. PLFs possess specific properties that unite them robustly as a group or ‘category’ of flake. The properties that do so, relate most strongly to relative flake thicknesses across their surface area. PLFs also exhibit significantly less variability than the flakes generated during their production. Again, this is most evident in flake thickness variables. A further aim of our study was to assess whether the particular PLF attributes identified during our analyses can be related to current knowledge regarding flake functionality and utility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Conclusions/Significance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PLFs are standardized in such a manner that they may be considered ‘predetermined’ with regard to a specific set of properties that distinguishes them statistically from a majority of other flakes. Moreover, their attributes can be linked to factors that, based on current knowledge, are desirable features in flake tools (e.g. durability, capacity for retouch, and reduction of torque). As such, our results support the hypothesis that the lengthy, multi-phase, and hierarchically organized process of Levallois reduction was a deliberate, engineered strategy orientated toward specific goals. In turn, our results support suggestions that Levallois knapping relied on a cognitive capacity for long-term working memory. This is consistent with recent evidence suggesting that cognitive distinctions between later Pleistocene hominins such as the Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans were not as sharp as some scholars have previously suggested.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-2895271452071160859?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/2895271452071160859/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=2895271452071160859&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/2895271452071160859'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/2895271452071160859'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2012/01/neanderthal-e-scheggiatura-della-pietra.html' title='Neanderthal e scheggiatura della pietra.

Il progetto gestisce anche modelli di eventi critici e post-incidente (sversamento in mare di sostanze inquinanti) fornendo strumenti di supporto alle decisioni per favorire l’intervento delle autorità preposte. Il traffico navale che ogni giorno attraversa il bacino del Mediterraneo è costituito da 2 mila traghetti, 1.500 navi merci e 2 mila imbarcazioni commerciali, 300 di loro sono navi cisterna (20% della quantità mondiale del traffico di petrolio del mare), che trasportano più di 350 milioni di tonnellate di petrolio all'anno (8 milioni di barili al giorno). &lt;br /&gt;Il server centrale del progetto ARGOMARINE ospita un Sistema Informativo Marino, nel quale i dati di telerilevamento sono integrati con i risultati degli esperimenti sul campo e le stime dei modelli di simulazione.&lt;br /&gt;Il ruolo del CNR-ISTI è di progettare e realizzare la struttura di comunicazione dell’intero sistema, il Sistema Informativo Marino e il sistema di supporto alle decisioni per la gestione di eventi critici.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Il Caso Costa Concordia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La &lt;a href="http://mx.isti.cnr.it/attachment_saving/01OB4NLRRLTCHMAGJH.gif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;simulazione&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, effettuata sulla base di un modello matematico originale, è stata sviluppata dal partner CIMA e costituisce una delle funzioni del Sistema Informativo Marino sviluppato dal CNR-ISTI. La simulazione prevede uno scenario con continuo rilascio di combustibile dalla nave (0,014 m3/s) nel corso di due giorni, dove vento e moto ondoso costituiscono le forze che guidano il processo. Si presume che tutto il carburante fuoriesca a livello della superficie dell'acqua. L'errore attualmente si assume pari a circa il 15%. Le particelle di combustibile che raggiungono la riva vengono di nuovo riversate in mare invece di essere sottoposte a spiaggiamento o scomparire. I serbatoi della nave contengono 2 miloni di combustibile del tipo Ifo-380.&lt;br /&gt;Questo è giustificato dalla particolare conformazione costiera del Giglio, ma si è anche assunto un approccio conservativo con riferimento alla quantità di sostanze in circolazione, che rimane sempre la massima possible. I processi di evaporazione, emulsificazione, ecc. sono stati trascurati allo scopo di fornire un dato rapidamente in quanto il modello completo prevede un tempo di calcolo consistente (già in fase di sviluppo).&lt;br /&gt;In base alla &lt;a href="http://mx.isti.cnr.it/attachment_saving/01OB4NLRRLTCHMAGJH.gif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;simulazione&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; l'Isola del Giglio verrebbe circondata dalla &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;marea nera&lt;/span&gt; che raggiungerebbe anche le coste della Toscana e l'Isola d'Elba, mentre una parte del combustibile proseguirebbe verso Sud-Ovest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h5&gt;Il Consorzio ARGOMARINE è costituito da:&lt;br /&gt;- Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago Toscano (Coordinatore)&lt;br /&gt;- Università Tecnica Nazionale di Atene (Grecia)&lt;br /&gt;- Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche - Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie dell'informazione (Italia)&lt;br /&gt;- Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center (Norvegia)&lt;br /&gt;- Centro de Marinha Investigação e Ambiental – CIMA Universidade do Algarve (Portogallo)&lt;br /&gt;- Parco Nazionale Marittimo di Zante (Grecia)&lt;br /&gt;- Centro Comune di Ricerca - Istituto per la Protezione e Sicurezza del Cittadino - JRC (EU)&lt;br /&gt;- NATO Undersea Research Centre - NURC (NATO)&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-6901322282503635715?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/6901322282503635715/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=6901322282503635715&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/6901322282503635715'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/6901322282503635715'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2012/01/progetto-argomarine-traffico-navale-e.html' title='Progetto ARGOMARINE: monitoraggio traffico navale e simulazione fuoriuscita carburante dalla nave Costa Concordia'/><author><name>Andrea Mameli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08858907065175946731</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K8aa26UngiU/TG8m9wAv-5I/AAAAAAAAC_0/Gn-_8Hz1Udc/S220/reycoast.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nFZ4GFg93Do/Tx3BlZ-zhfI/AAAAAAAAFs4/lVXSaJlpP70/s72-c/giglio3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462532.post-4088124568154052946</id><published>2012-01-23T21:00:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-23T21:11:18.306+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Antonio Saba'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cern'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='L&apos;Unione Sarda'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Infn'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='scienza'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ricerca'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fisica'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fotografie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cultura'/><title type='text'>Immagini d’autore per fissare il Big Bang (L'Unione Sarda, 21 aprile 2006)</title><content type='html'>Il cammino percorso dalla Fisica, in poco più di un secolo di scoperte e formulazioni teoriche, è stato semplicemente spettacolare. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XVvDadOq4sw/Tx28hb1wSVI/AAAAAAAAFsg/wgVOP3XfGMQ/s1600/saba.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 391px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XVvDadOq4sw/Tx28hb1wSVI/AAAAAAAAFsg/wgVOP3XfGMQ/s400/saba.jpg" border="0" alt="Saba CERN INFN Cagliari Ginevra" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700919985915840850" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;   Ma per raccontare la scienza, specie quando ci si allontana dall’intuizione e dal buonsenso, come accade appunto con le dimensioni e le velocità distanti dalla percezione umana, c’è sempre più bisogno di immagini.

Nel caso di ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment), uno dei più grossi apparati in costruzione, l’incarico di fotografo ufficiale è stato assegnato da una commissione internazionale al cagliaritano Antonio Saba. «Sono molto orgoglioso - spiega Saba - perché significa aver raggiunto un notevole livello di eccellenza nella fotografia industriale e applicata alla scienza e alla tecnologia». Cosa comporterà questo impegno? «Dovrò seguire l’installazione delle strutture e di rivelatori di particelle, in costruzione a Ginevra, Cagliari e Bologna». Tutti soggetti fotogenici? «Saranno facili da riprendere solo i grandi impianti, mentre sarà più complesso spettacolarizzare e rendere visibili particolari importanti ma di dimensioni ridotte». Come la piccola Alice, nata dalla penna di Lewis Carroll, esplora il Paese delle meraviglie, questo ambizioso progetto del CERN ci porterà a scoprire l’affascinante stato di creazione dell’universo, provando a riprodurre in miniatura la grande esplosione primordiale: il Big Bang. Nel sottosuolo di Ginevra, dentro un anello lungo 27 km, si sta costruendo il più grande acceleratore di particelle del mondo (LHC: Large Hadron Collider). Al suo interno verranno accelerati e fatti urtare nuclei di atomi di piombo, scelti tra i più pesanti a disposizione con i loro 208 nucleoni (neutroni e protoni), ad energie elevatissime, mai raggiunte prima d’ora in un acceleratore. Quando l’urto avviene frontalmente i nuclei vengono compressi creando una palla di fuoco nella quale si raggiungono temperature di migliaia di miliardi di gradi (molto superiori a quelle del centro del sole). Si suppone che in queste condizioni i neutroni e i protoni si sciolgano e le particelle che li compongono, i quark, e quelle che li legano, i gluoni, si muovano liberamente dando origine al plasma di quark e gluoni. L’osservazione sperimentale di questo stato della materia fornirebbe un’ulteriore prova della validità delle teorie più accreditate sulla costituzione dell’infinitamente piccolo. Questo plasma è lo stesso che si sarebbe formato pochi milionesimi di secondo dopo il Big Bang, probabilmente analogo a quello che si ritrova nelle stelle di neutroni. L’esperimento ALICE è costituito da una struttura complessa di rivelatori di particelle costruiti per analizzare, con la massima accuratezza, le collisioni tra i nuclei di piombo che avvengono nell’acceleratore. Questi urti si ripetono 1.000 volte al secondo, producendo ciascuno molte migliaia di tracce che verranno immagazzinate nei computer per essere poi analizzate. All’enorme impresa partecipano più di 1.000 fisici provenienti da 29 Paesi tra i quali l’Italia. Un contributo significativo viene fornito dal gruppo di Cagliari dell’Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) e del Dipartimento di Fisica dell’Università di Cagliari. Il gruppo, guidato da Sergio Serci, è formato da altri tre universitari (Giovanna Puddu, Gianluca Usai, Alessandro De Falco) e due ricercatori INFN (Corrado Cicalò e Alberto Masoni). «Siamo coinvolti nel progetto da otto anni - spiega Cicalò - e collaboriamo alla costruzione di due sistemi di rivelatori in stretta collaborazione con gruppi di altri Paesi europei. Dopo una lunga fase di progettazione questi moduli sono stati assemblati ed è ora in corso la loro installazione al CERN nella caverna che ospita ALICE. Una parte del gruppo si occupa anche dello sviluppo di componenti elettronici creati appositamente per l’esperimento, e un’altra contribuirà all’analisi dei dati».&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Andrea Mameli &lt;br /&gt;(L'Unione Sarda, Cultura, pagina 42, 21 aprile 2006)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-4088124568154052946?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/4088124568154052946/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=4088124568154052946&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/4088124568154052946'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/4088124568154052946'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2012/01/immagini-dautore-per-fissare-il-big.html' title='Immagini d’autore per fissare il Big Bang (L&apos;Unione Sarda, 21 aprile 2006)'/><author><name>Andrea Mameli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08858907065175946731</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K8aa26UngiU/TG8m9wAv-5I/AAAAAAAAC_0/Gn-_8Hz1Udc/S220/reycoast.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XVvDadOq4sw/Tx28hb1wSVI/AAAAAAAAFsg/wgVOP3XfGMQ/s72-c/saba.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462532.post-7484463373203168167</id><published>2012-01-22T21:40:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-22T22:45:14.338+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Italy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sabratha'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Romans'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mario Monti'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Domitilla Minor'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vespasian'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='head'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Libya'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sculpture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2.000 year-old'/><title type='text'>Italy returns 2.000 year-old statue to Libya</title><content type='html'>Italy has returned to Libya the head of a 2,000 year-old statue that was smuggled out of the country in the 1960s. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yBmXlQJs_2s/Txx0UAtBhkI/AAAAAAAAFsI/REmUknB6pco/s1600/Italy-returns-sculpture-to-Libya.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yBmXlQJs_2s/Txx0UAtBhkI/AAAAAAAAFsI/REmUknB6pco/s400/Italy-returns-sculpture-to-Libya.jpg" border="0" alt="Italy has returned to Libya the head of a 2.000 year-old statue" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700559115479254594" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Prime Minister Mario Monti gave the sculpted head of Domitilla Minor, the daughter of Roman emperor Vespasian, to Libyan authorities during his trip to Tripoli on Saturday.

Le ossa di una mano scoperte nel 2008 e studiate dagli antropologi del Max Planck Institute di Leipzig appartenevano a una donna vissuta 41 mila anni fa. Ma una donna di quale specie? I ricercatori tedeschi, guidati da Svante Paabo del Max-Planck, hanno scoperto che il DNA estratto da quelle ossa è diverso da quello dei Neanderthal e dei Sapiens. &lt;br /&gt;(&lt;a href="http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v464/n7290/full/nature08976.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;The complete mitochondrial DNA genome of an unknown hominin from southern Siberia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Nature. Letter published online 24 March 2010).&lt;br /&gt;Secondo l'antropologo John Hawks (Wisconsin-Madison University) molti geni HLA (utili al sistema immunitario) risalgono a prima della separazione tra Sapiens, Neandertal e Denisova. Inoltre Hawks ha osservato che alcune forme di geni che aiutano noi Sapiens a respingere malattie epidemiche come il morbillo non sono presenti nel corredo genetico degli uomini di Neandertal e Denisova. &lt;br /&gt;L'ominide siberiano, conosciuto con il nome provvisorio di &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Denisova hominins,&lt;/span&gt; mostra circa 400 differenze geniche con noi e con i neanderthaliani (&lt;a href="http://www.mpg.de/print/620894"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Neither Neandertal nor modern human&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Max-Planck-Gesellschaft. December 23, 2010) il che sembra indicare l'esistenza di (almeno) un altro ramo di ominidi. Ulteriori studi hanno portato alla ricostruzione genetica di questo gruppo di ominidi: &lt;a href="http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v468/n7327/full/nature09710.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Genetic history of an archaic hominin group from Denisova Cave in Siberia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (Nature.

This individual is from a group that shares a common origin with Neanderthals. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DFYXstF_dCA/Txvba5UuUqI/AAAAAAAAFr8/2z9pQfeAbzg/s1600/nature09710-f4.2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 182px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DFYXstF_dCA/Txvba5UuUqI/AAAAAAAAFr8/2z9pQfeAbzg/s400/nature09710-f4.2.jpg" border="0" alt="Denisova" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700391008478319266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; This population was not involved in the putative gene flow from Neanderthals into Eurasians; however, the data suggest that it contributed 4–6% of its genetic material to the genomes of present-day Melanesians. We designate this hominin population ‘Denisovans’ and suggest that it may have been widespread in Asia during the Late Pleistocene epoch. A tooth found in Denisova Cave carries a mitochondrial genome highly similar to that of the finger bone. This tooth shares no derived morphological features with Neanderthals or modern humans, further indicating that Denisovans have an evolutionary history distinct from Neanderthals and modern humans.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-8801374273129114309?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/8801374273129114309/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=8801374273129114309&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/8801374273129114309'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/8801374273129114309'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2012/01/homo-incognitus-denisova-x-woman-ne.html' title='Homo incognitus (&quot;Denisova X Woman&quot;).

Liberamente ispirato al racconto &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20071211153131/http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Academy/9412/8oclock.html"&gt;Eight O'Clock in the Morning&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; di Radell Faraday "Ray" Nelson (1963), il film di Carpenter richiama L'invasione degli ultracorpi (Invasion of the Body Snatchers, regia di Don Siegel, 1956). Una critica al vivere apatico, omologato, schiavo della civiltà dei consumi, ove se si guarda con gli &lt;i&gt;occhiali a raggi X&lt;/i&gt; alla paura dell'alieno si sostituisce il disprezzo per la nostra stessa idiozia.&lt;br /&gt;E allora la scena in cui il protagonista, l’operaio interpretato dall'ex wrestler "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, punta la pistola contro l’obiettivo della macchina da presa e pronuncia il faticido: &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;“Ora tocca a voi!”&lt;/span&gt; non è forse lo stesso grido disperato fatto pronunciare da Siegel al dottor Bennel (Kevin McCarthy): "Voi siete i prossimi! &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;("You're the nex!")&lt;/span&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h5&gt;Andrea Mameli www.linguaggiomacchina.it 21 gennaio 2012&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WuXY4lYSMSE/TxrBL5wDPgI/AAAAAAAAFrA/FpJtuwS8BKg/s1600/occhiali.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 201px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WuXY4lYSMSE/TxrBL5wDPgI/AAAAAAAAFrA/FpJtuwS8BKg/s400/occhiali.jpg" border="0" alt="occhiali" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700080688615865858" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--in_T1WKHN4/TxrBGQacq3I/AAAAAAAAFq0/3UuNU3b4ZVg/s1600/obey.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 203px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--in_T1WKHN4/TxrBGQacq3I/AAAAAAAAFq0/3UuNU3b4ZVg/s400/obey.jpg" border="0" alt="obey" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700080591620057970" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cbF-s9XFojs/TxrBBtl8STI/AAAAAAAAFqo/S1K8URQCFcM/s1600/advertising.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 203px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cbF-s9XFojs/TxrBBtl8STI/AAAAAAAAFqo/S1K8URQCFcM/s400/advertising.jpg" border="0" alt="advertising" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700080513553549618" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe width="520" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lhCBhvItQDo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.script-o-rama.com/movie_scripts/t/they-live-script-transcript-carpenter.html"&gt;They Live Script - Dialogue Transcript&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;«L'ansia del consumo è un'ansia di obbedienza a un ordine non pronunciato.

Growth and senescence of IGR39 ABCG2+ and ABCG2− human melanoma cells" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5699676595473379378" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; La senescenza cellulare spontanea nelle cellule di melanoma non ne arresta la crescita. Lo evidenzia uno studio firmato da ricercatori del CNR, dell'Università di Milano e della Cornell University (New York). I risultati, appena pubblicati su &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;PLoS Computational Biology&lt;/span&gt;, accertano anche la presenza delle staminali tumorali nel melanoma, responsabili della sua crescita e quindi potenziali obiettivi terapeutici.&lt;br /&gt;Le cellule tumorali, inserite in un ambiente nutritivo e di crescita adatto, tendono a proliferare indefinitamente. Questo ha fatto supporre che la senescenza cellulare potesse rappresentare una barriera alla loro crescita. &lt;br /&gt;Una collaborazione interdisciplinare tra l’&lt;a href="http://http://www.ieni.cnr.it/index.php?lang=it"&gt;Istituto per l’energetica e l’interfasi del Consiglio nazionale delle ricerche di Milano (Ieni-Cnr)&lt;/a&gt;, l'Università di Milano e la &lt;a href="http://http://www.cornell.edu/"&gt;Cornell University&lt;/a&gt; (New York) ha mostrato come la senescenza cellulare, che avviene spontaneamente nelle cellule di melanoma, non ne arresta la crescita. I risultati dello studio sono stati appena pubblicati sulla rivista open access PLoS Computational Biology.&lt;br /&gt;«Il lavoro ha cercato di esplorare la relazione tra il melanoma e la senescenza cellulare, ovvero il processo naturale per cui le cellule, invecchiando, smettono di dividersi - spiega Stefano Zapperi (Ieni-Cnr) - da qui l’idea di seguire la crescita in vitro di cellule di melanoma, monitorando il numero di quelle senescenti. Dopo tre mesi, effettivamente, la crescita ha cominciato a rallentare e la maggioranza delle cellule sono diventate senescenti, ma senza che il processo di crescita si arrestasse mai completamente. Infatti, subito dopo è ripreso alla velocità iniziale, mentre le cellule senescenti sono progressivamente scomparse».&lt;br /&gt;Una consistente presenza di cellule senescenti è stata osservata nei tumori ottenuti in topi immunocompromessi (con sistema immunitario modificato). &lt;br /&gt;«Successivamente - aggiunge Zapperi - è stato sviluppato un modello matematico per spiegare meglio tale processo, basato sull'ipotesi che all'interno del tumore sia presente una piccola frazione di cellule staminali tumorali che si divide indefinitamente, senza andare in senescenza. Oltre a riprodursi, queste cellule originano una vasta popolazione di cellule tumorali ordinarie, che si dividono solo per un certo numero di volte prima di diventare senescenti».&lt;br /&gt;Il modello è stato confrontato con i dati sperimentali, permettendo di riprodurre quantitativamente sia le curve di crescita, sia l'evoluzione del numero delle cellule senescenti. &lt;br /&gt;«Tale modello  - prosegue Zapperi - fornisce una conferma indiretta della presenza di cellule staminali tumorali nel melanoma, una questione ancora dibattuta e facilmente estensibile ad altri tumori in cui la presenza di staminali tumorali è invece assodata. Benché una gran parte delle cellule tumorali possano andare in senescenza, indurre tale processo non sembra una strategia terapeutica promettente, visto che queste cellule risultano irrilevanti per la crescita del tumore. Simulazioni del modello mostrano che accelerare la senescenza porterebbe solo a una scomparsa temporanea del tumore, che poi ricomincerebbe a crescere sostenuto dalle cellule staminali tumorali». &lt;br /&gt;L’accertata presenza di queste cellule nel melanoma potrebbe però aiutare a sviluppare nuovi metodi per curare questo tipo di tumore. &lt;br /&gt;«La sfida - conclude Zapperi - è superare la resistenza alla senescenza delle staminali tumorali e sviluppare metodi che colpiscano specificamente queste cellule».&lt;br /&gt;Fonte: CNR, Roma, 20 gennaio 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1002316"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Senescent Cells in Growing Tumors: Population Dynamics and Cancer StemCells&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Caterina A.M.

In the stochastic cancer model in which all cells are tumorigenic, senescence is seen as the result of random mutations, suggesting that it could represent a barrier to tumor growth. In the hierarchical cancer model a subset of the cells, the cancer stem cells, divide indefinitely while other cells eventually turn senescent. Here we formulate cancer growth in mathematical terms and obtain predictions for the evolution of senescence. We perform experiments in human melanoma cells which are compatible with the hierarchical model and show that senescence is a reversible process controlled by survivin. We conclude that enhancing senescence is unlikely to provide a useful therapeutic strategy to fight cancer, unless the cancer stem cells are specifically targeted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h5&gt;In the figure: Growth and senescence of IGR39 ABCG2+ and ABCG2− human melanoma cells.

La domanda del giornalista scientifico Samuel Arbesman (che è anche il titolo dell'articolo pubblicato su Wired il 19 gennaio 2012) sull'esistenza di leggi fondamentali della cucina è di quelle che mi pongo ciclicamente, da anni. &lt;br /&gt;Per avere delle leggi fondamentali ci servono dei modelli della realtà. E per avere dei modelli servono schemi in grado di descrivere e di replicare quel che accade. Orbene, questi schemi nel caso della cucina esistono. E si chiamano ricette. Ma le ricette da sole non bastano a creare i modelli su cui si possano costruire leggi fondamentali propriamente dette. Le ricette, infatti, ammesso che ci possano consentire di cucinare (e di cucinare bene), non spiegano cosa accade dentro la pentola o in padella. E allora siamo lontani da una razionalizzazione compiuta e solenne dell'intervento dei cuochi. "Le leggi fondamentali della cucina - è la conclusione di Samuel Arbesman - non sono possibili. Forse il cibo è molto più un'arte che una cosa governabile da teoremi.

The evidence comes from the coastal Peruvian sites of Paredones and Huaca Prieta, Peru; dates from the middle and late preceramic and early ceramic periods (between ca. 6700 and 3000 calibrated years before the present); and constitutes some of the earliest known cobs, husks, stalks, and tassels. The macrobotanical record indicates that a diversity of racial complexes characteristic of the Andean region emerged during the preceramic era. In addition, accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon determinations carried out directly on different structures of preserved maize plants strongly suggest that assays on burned cobs are more reliable than those on unburned cobs. Our findings contribute to knowledge of the early diffusion of maize and agriculture and have broader implications for understanding the development of early preindustrial human societies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h5&gt;Andrea Mameli www.linguaggiomacchina.it 19 gennaio 2012&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2009/08/il-riscatto-del-popcorn.html"&gt;Il riscatto del popcorn&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://archaeology.about.com/od/domestications/qt/maize_bib.htm"&gt;Bibliography of Maize Domestication&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.ancientmaize.com/"&gt;Ancient Maize Map&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-1321527016876262976?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/1321527016876262976/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=1321527016876262976&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/1321527016876262976'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/1321527016876262976'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2012/01/popcorn-fossile-trovato-in-peru-ancient.html' title='Popcorn fossile trovato in Perù (Fossils popcorn discovered in Peru)'/><author><name>Andrea Mameli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08858907065175946731</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K8aa26UngiU/TG8m9wAv-5I/AAAAAAAAC_0/Gn-_8Hz1Udc/S220/reycoast.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VrszpD5gubw/Txc_XxUP8_I/AAAAAAAAFpc/UhlvJZbW9Cg/s72-c/ancientpopco.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462532.post-6307840788125055202</id><published>2012-01-18T19:25:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-18T19:49:18.420+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Paolo Domenici'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Biology Letters'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ecosistemi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='barriera corallina'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Torregrande'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Oslo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='anidride carbonica'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='GABA-A'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CO2'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CNR'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='IAMC-CNR'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='James Cook University'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nature Climate Change'/><title type='text'>Torregrande, i pesci e il killer CO2 (L'Unione Sarda, 18 gennaio 2012)</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;L'istituto oristanese e gli studi sulle conseguenze della troppa anidride carbonica in mare&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ogni anno circa 2,3 miliardi di tonnellate di anidride carbonica provocata da attività umane si dissolvono nei mari del mondo. E se la CO2 aumenta, a risentirne sono i organismi marini. Il dato è contenuto in due ricerche internazionali, condotte dall'Istituto per l'Ambiente Marino Costiero, IAMC-CNR, di Torregrande (Oristano) in collaborazione con ricercatori della James Cook University (Australia) e dell'Università di Oslo. Il primo studio, condotto nella barriera corallina australiana e pubblicato nella rivista Biology Letters, si basa sui valori di CO2 ipotizzati per il 2100. In quelle condizioni si verifica una perdita della lateralizzazione, ovvero della preferenza per il lato destro o sinistro durante gli spostamenti che i pesci compiono quando incontrano un ostacolo. L'esposizione a elevate emissioni di anidride carbonica inibisce la lateralizzazione. Questi risultati forniscono una prova convincente che elevate dosi di CO2 influenzano le funzioni cerebrali nei pesci aumentando il loro grado di vulnerabilità rispetto ai predatori.&lt;br /&gt;I pesci più colpiti dovrebbero essere quelli con alto consumo di ossigeno. Ciò suggerisce che alcune specie potrebbero essere affette da emissioni di CO2 più di altre e questo può avere ripercussioni anche per le specie ricercate dalle industrie di pesca. Il secondo articolo, pubblicato il 15 gennaio su Nature Climate Change, mostra che i pesci invertono la loro capacità di allontanarsi dall'odore di un predatore, con pericolose conseguenze per la loro sopravvivenza. Precedenti studi avevano dimostrato gli effetti negativi dell'aumento di anidride carbonica negli oceani per gli organismi con gusci calcarei e le alterazioni sensoriali indotte da tale fenomeno nei pesci: non è semplicemente l'acidificazione degli oceani a provocare danni notevoli all'ecosistema. «Ora - spiega Paolo Domenici, dell'Istituto per l'ambiente marino e costiero del CNR di Torregrande -abbiamo scoperto che queste disfunzioni comportamentali sono dovute al malfunzionamento di un recettore del sistema nervoso centrale con fondamentali effetti su diversi tipi di neuroni che dipende dalle quantità relative di ioni quali cloro e bicarbonato, a loro volta alterate dall'esposizione a livelli elevati di CO2».&lt;br /&gt;La dimostrazione di questo meccanismo è stata verificata: «Dopo aver sottoposto i pesci a un'alta concentrazione di anidride carbonica, li abbiamo esposti alla gabazina, una sostanza che blocca il recettore GABA-A. Dopo trenta minuti di trattamento tornavano a sfuggire ai predatori e riguadagnavano la loro preferenza laterale. Poiché tale recettore è quasi universalmente presente nel sistema nervoso centrale è possibile che l'incremento negli oceani della CO2, aumentata del 40% negli ultimi due secoli e stimata per la fine del secolo tra 700-900 parti per milione contro le attuali 380, abbia enormi conseguenze sulla sopravvivenza di numerose specie marine».&lt;br /&gt;Nei pesci utilizzati in questo esperimento la compromissione della funzione olfattiva porta il pesce a essere attratto da odori che normalmente eviterebbe. Queste alterazioni possono avere effetti significativi sulla mortalità e sugli ecosistemi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Andrea Mameli&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'Unione Sarda, pag. 47 (Cultura), 18 gennaio 2012&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-6307840788125055202?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/6307840788125055202/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=6307840788125055202&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/6307840788125055202'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/6307840788125055202'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2012/01/torregrande-i-pesci-e-il-killer-co2.html' title='Torregrande, i pesci e il killer CO2 (L&apos;Unione Sarda, 18 gennaio 2012)'/><author><name>Andrea Mameli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08858907065175946731</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K8aa26UngiU/TG8m9wAv-5I/AAAAAAAAC_0/Gn-_8Hz1Udc/S220/reycoast.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462532.post-4951135452480231275</id><published>2012-01-18T07:26:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-18T12:33:08.059+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='download for free'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sustainable development'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='European Commission'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='free download'/><title type='text'>Sustainable development in the European Union: download for free</title><content type='html'>The EU sustainable development strategy, launched by the European Council in Gothenburg in 2001 and renewed in June 2006, aims for the continuous improvement of quality of life for current and future generations.

It provides an objective, statistical picture of progress, based on the EU set of sustainable development indicators. Quantitative rules applied consistently across indicators, and visualised through weather symbols, provide a relative assessment of whether Europe is moving in the right direction, and with sufficient haste, given the objectives and targets defined in the strategy. The data presented cover the period from 1990 to 2010 (or the latest year available). The statistics covered illustrate the range of issues relevant for sustainable development, and should contribute to raising awareness of the opportunities and challenges lying ahead.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-4951135452480231275?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/4951135452480231275/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=4951135452480231275&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/4951135452480231275'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/4951135452480231275'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2012/01/sustainable-development-in-european.html' title='Sustainable development in the European Union: download for free'/><author><name>Andrea Mameli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08858907065175946731</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K8aa26UngiU/TG8m9wAv-5I/AAAAAAAAC_0/Gn-_8Hz1Udc/S220/reycoast.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462532.post-8801971863510756463</id><published>2012-01-18T06:29:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-18T12:33:24.375+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='download for free'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='free download'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='environment'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='energy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='transport'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='EU sustainable development strategy'/><title type='text'>Energy, transport and environment indicators: download for free</title><content type='html'>The multi-thematic pocketbook Energy, transport and environment indicators comprises a broad set of data collected by Eurostat and the European Environment Agency.

In other words the island Tristan da Cunha plays a key role in the general understanding of plate tectonics. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YXIgzg7_nMk/TxX2RuN85SI/AAAAAAAAFog/o_GocHOFgZE/s1600/Laurasia-Gondwana.svg.png"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 335px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YXIgzg7_nMk/TxX2RuN85SI/AAAAAAAAFog/o_GocHOFgZE/s400/Laurasia-Gondwana.svg.png" border="0" alt="Gondwana" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698731687831987490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; The island of Tristan da Cunha is a volcano with a diameter of 12 kilometres, a population of 300 and lies more than 2500 kilometres away from the next inhabited land in the southern Atlantic. And the origin of the archipelago is closely connected with the breakup of the Gondwana supercontinent 120 million years ago. But what happened exactly is still controversial. The scientists onboard the RV MARIA S. MERIAN will implement a multi-disciplinary geophysical study of the region by acquiring marine electromagnetic, active and pas-sive seismics as well as gravity and bathymetric data. In addition to the scientific work the MARIA S. MERIAN also provides logistical support for the inhabitants of Tristan da Cunha. The German research vessel will deliver mail and three British engineers whose task will be to repair damaged port facilities of the settlement "Edinburgh of the Seven Seas".  The Royal Mail ship Saint Helena drops anchor there twice a year. Thus the administration is happy about every additional ship calling in Tristan.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-7913831303306153327?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/7913831303306153327/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=7913831303306153327&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/7913831303306153327'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/7913831303306153327'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2012/01/tristan-da-cunha-and-gondwana.html' title='Tristan da Cunha and the Gondwana supercontinent.

Sembra una versione moderna dell’Utopia di Tommaso Moro, quell’isola ideale descritta nel 1516 dal filosofo londinese. Si tratta invece del riuscitissimo techno-thriller Operazione Bullfish (Formika, Brindisi, 2005, 380 pagine, 16 Euro) scritto da Sandro Meloni e destinato a diventare un film. La storia si snoda tra il miglioramento genetico delle specie ittiche, lo spionaggio industriale e una pesca sportiva trasformata dagli eventi in elemento trainante dell’economia di Nova, l’isola delle meraviglie che fa tanto Insula Utopia. Del resto fu Meloni, giornalista cagliaritano trapiantato in Puglia, a introdurre in Italia, alcuni anni fa, la specialità del Surf Casting (il "lancio sull'onda" dalla spiaggia) che tanti successi continua a regalare agli sportivi sardi. &lt;br /&gt;Ma se l’isola dipinta da Meloni è totalmente inventata, così come quella descritta  490 anni fa dall’io narrante di Tommaso Moro nel racconto dello sbarco di Raffaello Hythloday (immaginario compagno di viaggio di Amerigo Vespucci) sull’isola che non c’è (u-tòpos=senza luogo), altri hanno descritto una terra simile ma assolutamente reale. &lt;br /&gt;E’ Tristan Da Cunha, l’isola protagonista nel 1838 di un racconto di Edgar Allan Poe: le avventure di Arthur Gordon Pym. In viaggio verso il Polo Sud, l’avventuriero inglese sbarca su un’isola sconosciuta nella quale resta sorpreso dal benessere degli abitanti. Poi raggiunge il Polo e fugge spaventato da una creatura sovrumana. Il racconto di Poe, tradotto in francese da Baudelaire nel 1858, affascinò Jules Verne al punto da ossessionarlo per oltre trent'anni con il desiderio di concludere la storia. E nel 1897 Verne pubblicò La Sfinge dei ghiacci: il viaggio della nave Halbrane, sulle orme di quello compiuto nel romanzo di Poe, si infrange su una montagna a forma di sfinge a causa di una fortissima attrazione magnetica e il mistero di Gordon Pym trova così una spiegazione scientifica: sono i primi vagiti della Fantascienza. Con La voce dell'isola (Edizioni Nord, 2006, 256 pagine, 16 euro) anche Sabina Colloredo ha ambientato una storia a Tristan Da Cunha. Storia che è diventata film: The Counting House (Rai Cinema).&lt;br /&gt;Appena 100 km quadrati di superficie (il doppio dell’Isola di San Pietro) e soltanto 275 abitanti (contro i 6600 di Carloforte) concentrati nel suo unico villaggio (Edinburgh of the Seven Seas) Tristan Da Cunha è l’isolotto vulcanico scoperto 500 anni fa da un navigatore portoghese, oggi meta di ricerche genetiche e rare visite turistiche (20 presenze annue).&lt;br /&gt;Considerata l'isola più remota del mondo (si raggiunge esclusivamente via mare, ma solo se le condizioni del tempo lo consentono) Tristan dista 2.400 Km da Città del Capo e 1.900 dall’isola di Sant'Elena (quella di Napoleone) e fa parte del Territorio d'Oltremare del Regno Unito. Dopo l'annessione all'Inghilterra, nel 1816, Tristan fu colonizzata da britannici, poi accolse statunitensi, olandesi e italiani, in gran parte scampati a naufragi. La popolazione residente è oggi costituita dai discendenti delle famiglie fondatrici: gli unici sette cognomi presenti sull’isola quelli registrati nel 1893. Due di loro, Lavarello e Repetto, provengono da Camogli. E il legame con il centro ligure ha permesso la nascita e il mantenimento dell’unica struttura ospedaliera dell’isola. &lt;br /&gt;Tristan vanta alcune caratteristiche invidiabili: la disoccupazione e il crimine sono inesistenti, il patto di uguaglianza, solidarietà e divisione in parti uguali del lavoro e del profitto (sancito nel 1817) non è mai stato violato.&lt;br /&gt;Gli abitanti dell’isola venuta casualmente alla luce nell’anno della morte di Colombo, per ironia della sorte, hanno utilizzato il baratto come sistema di scambio per secoli: la moneta fu introdotta a Tristan soltanto nel 1942, cioè 450 anni dopo l’altrettanto accidentale scoperta del continente americano. &lt;br /&gt;Dopo la guerra lo sfruttamento industriale della pesca dell’aragosta e la vendita dei francobolli (ricercatissimi dai collezionisti) diedero vita al boom economico di Tristan. Fino al 6 agosto 1961, quando dalla sommità del vulcano Mary’s Peak (2060 metri) situato al centro dell’isola iniziò a sgorgare lava incandescente e per i 290 abitanti fu organizzato un rapido esodo. Dopo una sosta a Cape Town si rifugiarono in Inghilterra, dove contrassero malattie contro le quali non avevano sviluppato anticorpi e alcuni di loro morirono. I superstiti che, 18 mesi dopo, rientrarono a Tristan, trovarono un ammasso di macerie, così furono costretti a ricominciare da capo. Nel 1993, fu eseguito un campionamento del Dna e furono rivelate le origini genetiche dell’alta incidenza dell’asma nell'isola (superiore al 30%). Così, due anni dopo, la casa farmaceutica tedesca Boehringer Ingelheim si assicurò il diritto di ricavare da quegli studi terapie contro l’asma, dopo aver sborsato 70 milioni di dollari. C’è poi una vicenda misteriosa, che conferisce a Tristan un’atmosfera in puro stile Lost. Il 27 agosto 1958 la US Navy effettuò un segretissimo test atomico in aria, rivelato l’anno seguente dal The New York Times, ma del quale non sono mai state resi noti eventuali danni a carico dell’ambiente. Ma il fascino dell’isola irraggiungibile resta intatto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Andrea Mameli&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(L'Unione Sarda, 20 luglio 2006)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-3216355610947015973?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/3216355610947015973/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=3216355610947015973&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/3216355610947015973'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/3216355610947015973'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2012/01/tristan-da-cunha-lunione-sarda-20.html' title='Tristan Da Cunha (L&apos;Unione Sarda, 20 luglio 2006)'/><author><name>Andrea Mameli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08858907065175946731</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K8aa26UngiU/TG8m9wAv-5I/AAAAAAAAC_0/Gn-_8Hz1Udc/S220/reycoast.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Z1Toh__ou1k/TxYGh13TVHI/AAAAAAAAFpQ/LdAsX4DuT04/s72-c/tristan-da-cunha.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462532.post-4151164173382555987</id><published>2012-01-17T11:38:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-17T11:40:23.352+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='andride carbonica'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='behavioural'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='carbon dioxide'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='IAMC-CNR'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CNR'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='organismi marini'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Neopomacentrus azysron'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pesci'/><title type='text'>Organismi marini a rischio a causa dell'aumento di anidride carbonica (Carbon dioxide levels alter fish behaviour)</title><content type='html'>&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8eKQmVXBU1Y/TxVOTFzB-NI/AAAAAAAAFoU/bvonS0FlRIk/s400/donzella%2BNeopomacentrus%2Bazyron.jpg" border="0" alt="Donzella.

Biology Letters, July 26, 2011. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Abstract&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) has recently been shown to affect chemosensory and auditory behaviour, and activity levels of larval reef fishes, increasing their risk of predation. However, the mechanisms underlying these changes are unknown. Behavioural lateralization is an expression of brain functional asymmetries, and thus provides a unique test of the hypothesis that elevated CO2 affects brain function in larval fishes. We tested the effect of near-future CO2 concentrations (880 µatm) on behavioural lateralization in the reef fish, &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Neopomacentrus azysron&lt;/span&gt;. Individuals exposed to current-day or elevated CO2 were observed in a detour test where they made repeated decisions about turning left or right. No preference for right or left turns was observed at the population level. However, individual control fish turned either left or right with greater frequency than expected by chance. Exposure to elevated-CO2 disrupted individual lateralization, with values that were not different from a random expectation. These results provide compelling evidence that elevated CO2 directly affects brain function in larval fishes. Given that lateralization enhances performance in a number of cognitive tasks and anti-predator behaviours, it is possible that a loss of lateralization could increase the vulnerability of larval fishes to predation in a future high-CO2 ocean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://http://www.nature.com/nclimate/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nclimate1352.html"&gt;Near-future carbon dioxide levels alter fish behaviour by interfering with neurotransmitter function&lt;/a&gt; Göran Nilsson (Physiology Programme, Department of Molecular Biosciences, University of Oslo, Norway), Danielle L.

Changes include increased boldness and activity, loss of behavioural lateralization, altered auditory preferences and impaired olfactory function. Impaired olfactory function makes larval fish attracted to odours they normally avoid, including ones from predators and unfavourable habitats. These behavioural alterations have significant effects on mortality that may have far-reaching implications for population replenishment, community structure and ecosystem function. However, the underlying mechanism linking high CO2 to these diverse responses has been unknown. Here we show that abnormal olfactory preferences and loss of behavioural lateralization exhibited by two species of larval coral reef fish exposed to high CO2 can be rapidly and effectively reversed by treatment with an antagonist of the GABA-A receptor. GABA-A is a major neurotransmitter receptor in the vertebrate brain. Thus, our results indicate that high CO2 interferes with neurotransmitter function, a hitherto unrecognized threat to marine populations and ecosystems. Given the ubiquity and conserved function of GABA-A receptors, we predict that rising CO2 levels could cause sensory and behavioural impairment in a wide range of marine species, especially those that tightly control their acid–base balance through regulatory changes in HCO3− and Cl− levels.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-4151164173382555987?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/4151164173382555987/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=4151164173382555987&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/4151164173382555987'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/4151164173382555987'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2012/01/organismi-marini-rischio-causa.html' title='Organismi marini a rischio a causa dell&apos;aumento di anidride carbonica (Carbon dioxide levels alter fish behaviour)'/><author><name>Andrea Mameli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08858907065175946731</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K8aa26UngiU/TG8m9wAv-5I/AAAAAAAAC_0/Gn-_8Hz1Udc/S220/reycoast.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8eKQmVXBU1Y/TxVOTFzB-NI/AAAAAAAAFoU/bvonS0FlRIk/s72-c/donzella%2BNeopomacentrus%2Bazyron.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462532.post-651930253421769566</id><published>2012-01-17T07:15:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-17T11:24:06.296+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='MIT'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Edward Farhi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='science and movies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Science on Screen'/><title type='text'>About science and cinema with Edward Farhi, the director of MIT’s Center for Theoretical Physics</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-idO9SWeZrZ8/TxVBeTD9a6I/AAAAAAAAFn8/xTwFokrrLJc/s1600/Bill_%2526_Ted.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 204px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-idO9SWeZrZ8/TxVBeTD9a6I/AAAAAAAAFn8/xTwFokrrLJc/s320/Bill_%2526_Ted.jpg" border="0" alt="Bill &amp; Ted’s Excellent Adventure" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698532892275993506" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://Edward Farhi"&gt;Edward Farhi&lt;/a&gt;, director of MIT’s Center for Theoretical Physics, Jan. 30 talk at the &lt;a href="http://http://www.coolidge.org/content/bill-teds-excellent-adventure"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Coolidge Corner Theatre&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (Harvard St., Brookline, MA) about the feasibility of time travel before the 1989 movie &lt;a href="http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_%26_Ted%27s_Excellent_Adventure"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;“Bill &amp; Ted’s Excellent Adventure"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Edward Farhi has studied the complexities of building a time machine, though not of the phone-booth variety, but has also worked on astrophysics, general relativity, and the foundations of quantum mechanics.

The facial expression for the emotion of anxiety comprises an environmental scanning look that appears to aid risk assessment. The research was published this week in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. &lt;br /&gt;See the image taken from Adam Perkins Facial Expression Video&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clockwise: 1) Anxiety, 2) Happiness, 3) Surprise, 4) Interest&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Foxv7R21Bcw/TxSUayQiXAI/AAAAAAAAFnM/dUpEg2gCX9E/s1600/facial-expressions.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 306px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Foxv7R21Bcw/TxSUayQiXAI/AAAAAAAAFnM/dUpEg2gCX9E/s400/facial-expressions.jpg" border="0" alt="images of faces from Adam Perkins Facial Expression Video" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698342616419163138" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"Our research group - explains &lt;a href="http://www.iop.kcl.ac.uk/staff/profile/default.aspx?go=12541"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Adam Perkins&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; lead author of the study at the Institute of Psychiatry (IoP) at King's College - focuses on understanding the causes of anxiety. No one knows exactly what anxiety is. However many animal studies link it to risk assessment behaviour, suggesting anxiety can be explained as a defensive adaptation. We wanted to see if this was also the case in humans."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;A facial expression for anxiety.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perkins, Adam M.; Inchley-Mort, Sophie L.; Pickering, Alan D.; Corr, Philip J.; Burgess, Adrian P.&lt;br /&gt;Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Jan 9 , 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Abstract&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anxiety and fear are often confounded in discussions of human emotions. However, studies of rodent defensive reactions under naturalistic conditions suggest anxiety is functionally distinct from fear. Unambiguous threats, such as predators, elicit flight from rodents (if an escape-route is available), whereas ambiguous threats (e.g., the odor of a predator) elicit risk assessment behavior, which is associated with anxiety as it is preferentially modulated by anti-anxiety drugs. However, without human evidence, it would be premature to assume that rodent-based psychological models are valid for humans. We tested the human validity of the risk assessment explanation for anxiety by presenting 8 volunteers with emotive scenarios and asking them to pose facial expressions. Photographs and videos of these expressions were shown to 40 participants who matched them to the scenarios and labeled each expression. Scenarios describing ambiguous threats were preferentially matched to the facial expression posed in response to the same scenario type. This expression consisted of two plausible environmental-scanning behaviors (eye darts and head swivels) and was labeled as anxiety, not fear. The facial expression elicited by unambiguous threat scenarios was labeled as fear. The emotion labels generated were then presented to another 18 participants who matched them back to photographs of the facial expressions. This back-matching of labels to faces also linked anxiety to the environmental-scanning face rather than fear face. Results therefore suggest that anxiety produces a distinct facial expression and that it has adaptive value in situations that are ambiguously threatening, supporting a functional, risk-assessing explanation for human anxiety.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-4217137248180495908?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/4217137248180495908/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=4217137248180495908&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/4217137248180495908'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/4217137248180495908'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2012/01/face-of-anxiety-journal-of-personality.html' title='The face of anxiety (Journal of Personality and Social Psychology)'/><author><name>Andrea Mameli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08858907065175946731</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K8aa26UngiU/TG8m9wAv-5I/AAAAAAAAC_0/Gn-_8Hz1Udc/S220/reycoast.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Foxv7R21Bcw/TxSUayQiXAI/AAAAAAAAFnM/dUpEg2gCX9E/s72-c/facial-expressions.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462532.post-778890667165307484</id><published>2012-01-16T21:17:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-16T21:26:20.541+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='video'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='education'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Biology'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='school'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Introduction to Cells'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='science'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cell biology'/><title type='text'>Introduction to Cells</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe width="520" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Ow0jH2Eg8v4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a 3 minute HD dramatic video choreographed to powerful music, which introduces the viewer to Cells.

I bambini erano accompagnati dal paleontologo Marco Avanzini e dal biologo Alfred Beran.&lt;br /&gt;In un viaggio di oltre 4500 chilometri i Mini Darwin hanno scoperto alcune delle meravigliose testimonianze della storia della vita sulla Terra e hanno rielaborato i processi geologici e biologici che hanno portato al mondo che conosciamo oggi. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LT-JJwz3uTk/TxQ2KpeCw5I/AAAAAAAAFmE/koIdW20DRvQ/s1600/202_Arg_ElChocon_Museo_Giganotosauro.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LT-JJwz3uTk/TxQ2KpeCw5I/AAAAAAAAFmE/koIdW20DRvQ/s320/202_Arg_ElChocon_Museo_Giganotosauro.JPG" border="0" alt="Giganotosauro" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698238985088975762" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;«Darwin, nel suo viaggio intorno al mondo a bordo del brigantino Beagle - commenta Simona Cerrato, coordinatrice del progetto - è stato tra i primi a scoprire e descrivere queste meraviglie.

E non solo per i bambini» . &lt;br /&gt;Con i fuoristrada messi a disposizione dal Parco Naturale e dall’Università di Punta Alta i Mini Darwin hanno raggiunto la spiaggia di Monte Hermoso, proprio dove Darwin rimase tre giorni senza provviste a causa delle avverse condizioni meteorologiche. &lt;br /&gt;«Qui abbiamo scoperto un fossile di megaterio, una specie di bradipone gigante estinto: lo abbiamo estratto dal terreno con l’aiuto del martello da geologo» racconta con entusiasmo Matilde, 12 anni. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HOYI2sFCOTM/TxQ2e9L07YI/AAAAAAAAFmQ/G-lT9dkzfl8/s1600/235_Arg_ElChocon_Laboratorio_Scorpiovenator_Carmela_Kika_Amrit_Monse.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HOYI2sFCOTM/TxQ2e9L07YI/AAAAAAAAFmQ/G-lT9dkzfl8/s320/235_Arg_ElChocon_Laboratorio_Scorpiovenator_Carmela_Kika_Amrit_Monse.JPG" border="0" alt="Scorpiovenator" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698239333978664322" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Pehuen-Co, invece, i bambini hanno riscoperto le tracce di un’antica passeggiata di megateri e uccelli: dove un tempo c’era un fiume, gli animali si abbeveravano e hanno lasciato le loro tracce sulle sponde fangose. &lt;br /&gt;«A partire dalle impronte sulla sabbia abbiamo provato a calcolare, come fanno oggi i paleontologi, la velocità e le dimensioni di quegli animali» continua Matilde.&lt;br /&gt;Il viaggio è proseguito fino alla Valle dei Dinosauri, dove hanno potuto ammirare i giganti della Terra: al Museo “Ernesto Bachman” di Villa El Chocón i resti (completi all’80%) del Giganotosauro carolinii, il più grande carnivoro esistito, e al Museo “Carmen Funes” di Plaza Huincul l’Argentinosaurus huinculensis.  &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bUj2km7Sp_M/TxQ3IWUrqCI/AAAAAAAAFmc/hH_oHjSRgrs/s1600/461_Arg_Barreales_esposizione_scavi_osso_fossile_gruppo.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bUj2km7Sp_M/TxQ3IWUrqCI/AAAAAAAAFmc/hH_oHjSRgrs/s320/461_Arg_Barreales_esposizione_scavi_osso_fossile_gruppo.JPG" border="0" alt="Barreales" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698240045101328418" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al Centro Paleontológico Lago Barreales i giovani esploratori sono stati con i paleontologi che stanno studiando il Futalognkosaurus dukei, un bestione di quasi 34 metri, e hanno partecipato agli scavi attualmente in corso. &lt;br /&gt;Sulle Ande, superando un guado perché la strada era stata spazzata via dal fango, hanno raggiunto il Bosque Darwin, un bosco fossile pietrificato scoperto da Darwin stesso e che oggi porta il suo nome, e hanno visitato il Puente del Inca, un’impressionante formazione geologica sospesa sulla valle del Rio las Cueva. Sulla via del ritorno verso Buenos Aires non poteva mancare una giornata a cavallo. Come Darwin, che viaggiava a cavallo di posta in posta, i Mini Darwin si sono cimentati nell’equitazione assistiti dai gauchos della estancia Isabela.&lt;br /&gt;Tutto il viaggio è stato documentato giorno per giorno sul sito &lt;a href="http://medialab.sissa.it/md/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;www.minidarwin.it&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; con video, foto e racconti.

O meglio le pubblicazioni scientifiche? O meglio ancora le citazioni delle pubblicazioni? Queste sono le domande che mi pongo dopo aver letto l'articolo di &lt;a href="Haydn Shaughnessy"&gt;Haydn Shaughnessy&lt;/a&gt; pubblicato oggi nel sito della rivista Forbes: &lt;a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/haydnshaughnessy/2012/01/15/how-could-twitter-influence-science-and-why-scientists-are-on-board/?feed=rss_home"&gt;"How Could Twitter Influence Science (And Why Scientists Are on Board)"&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;Shaughnessy a sua volta fa riferimento al &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;paper&lt;/span&gt; di &lt;a href="http://www.uhnresearch.ca/researchers/profile.php?lookup=1722"&gt;Gunther Eysenbach&lt;/a&gt; (ricercatore alla University Health Network) pubblicato dal Journal of Medical Internet Research dal titolo &lt;a href="http://beckerinfo.net/scp/2011/12/19/can-tweets-predict-citations-metrics-of-social-impact-based-on-twitter-and-correlation-with-traditional-metrics-of-scientific-impact/"&gt;"Can Tweets Predict Citations? Metrics of Social Impact Based on Twitter and Correlation with Traditional Metrics of Scientific Impact"&lt;/a&gt; le cui conclusioni (riporto l'abstract più in basso) sono che la presenza nei social media può determinare un incremento delle citazioni e che un nuovo indicatore, denominato "twimpact factor" per misurare altri effetti della ricerca e l'impatto sulla percezione dei risultati delle ricerche da parte del pubblico in tempo reale.&lt;br /&gt;Gli elementi salienti dell'articolo di Haydn Shaughnessy sono tre:&lt;br /&gt;1) stiamo creando conoscenza in un modo nuovo, ma abbiamo una filosofia della scienza modellata in modalità di lavoro "pre-web": tendiamo ancora a pensare alla scienza e a ogni categoria del pensiero rigorosa come un oggetto che cresce dopo essere stato coltiviato collettivamente. Mi chiedo - scrive sempre Shaughnessy - se queste categorie di pensiero sono ancora valide;&lt;br /&gt;2) la ricerca di Eysenbach può essere un utile indicatore dei cambiamenti nelle dinamiche che riguardano le pubblicazioni scientifiche, ma anche una lezione per la vasta comunità degli &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;opinion leader&lt;/span&gt; che forse c'è ancora molto da capire nel modo in cui si forma la conoscenza;&lt;br /&gt;3) per decenni sono stati importanti due fattori: la &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;peer review&lt;/span&gt; e dove si pubblica; ma forse ciò è stato anche un freno per la scienza. Forse - è il pensiero di Shaughnessy - ora abbiamo bisogno di una nuova filosofia della conoscenza.&lt;br /&gt;A questo punto ho più domande di prima, in merito alle possibili correlazioni fra i &lt;i&gt;tweet&lt;/i&gt; e le pubblicazioni scientifiche (e loro citazioni).&lt;br /&gt;Avrei bisogno di altri studi per poter dire di iniziare a capirci qualcosa. E forse non solo io.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h5&gt;Andrea Mameli www.linguaggiomacchina.it 15 gennaio 2011&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Can Tweets Predict Citations? Metrics of Social Impact Based on Twitter and Correlation with Traditional Metrics of Scientific Impact&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Abstract&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Background: Citations in peer-reviewed articles and the impact factor are generally accepted measures of scientific impact. Web 2.0 tools such as Twitter, blogs or social bookmarking tools provide the possibility to construct innovative article-level or journal-level metrics to gauge impact and influence. However, the relationship of the these new metrics to traditional metrics such as citations is not known. &lt;br /&gt;Objective: (1) To explore the feasibility of measuring social impact of and public attention to scholarly articles by analyzing buzz in social media, (2) to explore the dynamics, content, and timing of tweets relative to the publication of a scholarly article, and (3) to explore whether these metrics are sensitive and specific enough to predict highly cited articles. &lt;br /&gt;Methods: Between July 2008 and November 2011, all tweets containing links to articles in the Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR) were mined. For a subset of 1573 tweets about 55 articles published between issues 3/2009 and 2/2010, different metrics of social media impact were calculated and compared against subsequent citation data from Scopus and Google Scholar 17 to 29 months later. A heuristic to predict the top-cited articles in each issue through tweet metrics was validated. &lt;br /&gt;Results: A total of 4208 tweets cited 286 distinct JMIR articles. The distribution of tweets over the first 30 days after article publication followed a power law (Zipf, Bradford, or Pareto distribution), with most tweets sent on the day when an article was published (1458/3318, 43.94% of all tweets in a 60-day period) or on the following day (528/3318, 15.9%), followed by a rapid decay. The Pearson correlations between tweetations and citations were moderate and statistically significant, with correlation coefficients ranging from .42 to .72 for the log-transformed Google Scholar citations, but were less clear for Scopus citations and rank correlations. A linear multivariate model with time and tweets as significant predictors (P &lt; .001) could explain 27% of the variation of citations. Highly tweeted articles were 11 times more likely to be highly cited than less-tweeted articles (9/12 or 75% of highly tweeted article were highly cited, while only 3/43 or 7% of less-tweeted articles were highly cited; rate ratio 0.75/0.07 = 10.75, 95% confidence interval, 3.4–33.6). Top-cited articles can be predicted from top-tweeted articles with 93% specificity and 75% sensitivity. &lt;br /&gt;Conclusions: Tweets can predict highly cited articles within the first 3 days of article publication. Social media activity either increases citations or reflects the underlying qualities of the article that also predict citations, but the true use of these metrics is to measure the distinct concept of social impact. Social impact measures based on tweets are proposed to complement traditional citation metrics. The proposed twimpact factor may be a useful and timely metric to measure uptake of research findings and to filter research findings resonating with the public in real time.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-6206364989476268732?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/6206364989476268732/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=6206364989476268732&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/6206364989476268732'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/6206364989476268732'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2012/01/twitter-la-scienza-e-un-nuovo.html' title='Twitter, la scienza e un nuovo indicatore: the Twimpact factor (Could Twitter Influence Science?)'/><author><name>Andrea Mameli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08858907065175946731</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K8aa26UngiU/TG8m9wAv-5I/AAAAAAAAC_0/Gn-_8Hz1Udc/S220/reycoast.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m7IRoI7CikU/TxMg_17VQkI/AAAAAAAAFk8/EYGGglaCsAc/s72-c/Twitter-Science.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462532.post-4912005735365762734</id><published>2012-01-15T16:12:00.013+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-15T17:00:57.682+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='facial diversity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mammals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='coloration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faces'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='UCLA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Species'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='evolution'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='facial expressions'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='species recognition'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='primates'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sociality'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='social behavior'/><title type='text'>Why are the faces of primates different from one another?

The life scientists divided each face into 14 regions; coded the color of each part, including the hair and skin; studied the patterns and anatomy of the faces; and gave each a "facial complexity" score. They studied how the complexity of primate faces evolved over time and examined the primates' social systems. To assess how facial colors are related to physical environments, they analyzed environmental variables, using the longitude and latitude of primates' habitats as a proxy for sun exposure and temperature. They also used statistical methods to analyze the evolutionary history of the primate groups and when they diverged from one another.&lt;br /&gt;Facial expressions, is the result, are increasingly important in large groups, then highly social,&lt;br /&gt;The evolutionary biologists also found that when primates live in environment with more species that are closely related, their faces are more complex, regardless of their group size. This finding is consistent with their need to recognize individuals of other closely related species that live in the same habitat to avoid interbreeding, Santana said.&lt;br /&gt;This work is the first quantitative evidence linking social behavior to the evolution of facial diversity and complexity in primates, and they also show that ecology controls aspects of facial patterns. &lt;br /&gt;In the future, Santana, Lynch Alfaro and Alfaro may use computer facial-recognition software to help quantify the faces in a more sophisticated way. They also plan to study the faces of carnivores, including big cats.&lt;br /&gt;Does the study have implications for the evolution of human faces? The findings do suggest - as UCLA Newsroom wrote (January 15, 2012: &lt;a href="http://newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/i-ve-just-seen-a-face-221465.aspx"&gt;Evolution is written all over your face&lt;/a&gt;) - Alfaro said, that an important factor in shaping human faces is the premium on making unambiguous facial expressions. &lt;br /&gt;"Humans don't have all these elaborate facial ornamentations - Alfaro said - but we do have the ability to communicate visually with facial expressions. Does reduced coloration complexity create a blank palate for visual expressions that can be conveyed more easily? That is an idea we are testing." &lt;br /&gt;Santana's research is funded by fellowships from the National Science Foundation and UCLA's Institute for Society and Genetics.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-4912005735365762734?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/4912005735365762734/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=4912005735365762734&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/4912005735365762734'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/4912005735365762734'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2012/01/why-are-faces-of-primates-different.html' title='Why are the faces of primates different from one another?

Architettura contemporanea in Sardegna dal 1930 al 2008&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (Aiasara, 2009; 447 pagine; 50,00 euro) è un libro di Marco Lucchini (architetto, docente di “Progettazione Architettonica” al  Politecnico di Milano, innamorato della nostra isola).&lt;br /&gt;Il libro contiene una lunga e accurata descrizione degli esempi architettonici isolani, accompagnati da fotografie e grafici (ottimo lavoro anche da parte dell'editore). &lt;br /&gt;Cosa emerge? Lucchini lo scrive a pagina 30: «In Sardegna l'identità dell'architettura è fatta di coesistenze e di appartenenze molteplici, per cui caratteri tipo-morfologici e principi insediativi diversi - sovente estranei alla cultura locale - si sono stratificati e sovrapposti. Uno dei fattori di maggiore ricchezza culturale è stata la sovrapposizione di poetiche provenienti da scuole di architettura diverse (Roma, Firenze, Genova, Venezia, Milano) e la loro contaminazione con elementi di permanenza locali, di solito identificati nelle costruzioni tradizionali. La lunga durata delle permanenze e la concentrazione delle variazioni in periodi piuttosto circoscritti ha conferito un particolare carattere a quella condizione dialettica e mutevole presente in tutti i sistemi insediativi che hanno un passato, indicata da Paola Coppola Pignatelli come una "riserva di variabilità" che provoca "un'evoluzione continua e inarrestabile" dell'identità». &lt;br /&gt;Con il prezioso aiuto della casa editrice &lt;a href="http://www.aisara.eu/"&gt;Aisara&lt;/a&gt; ho contattato Marco Lucchini. Ecco l'intervista.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Il patrimonio architettonico sardo è proprio sconosciuto?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;«Diciamo che dipende dal contesto. Se parliamo di un pubblico vasto a scala nazionale anche di livello culturale medio-alto l’architettura contemporanea in Sardegna è effettivamente poco conosciuta. Fra gli addetti ai lavori, architetti, ingegneri, artisti, le cose vanno un po’ meglio però siamo sempre lì: si tratta di una conoscenza a scala prevalentemente locale. Ho avuto occasione di constatare che al di fuori della Sardegna la conoscenza è molto relativa. Probabilmente l’interesse editoriale e mediatico degli ultimi anni ha sicuramente contribuito a incrementare l’interesse. Sarebbe però bello che le opere di Architettura fossero realmente fruibili: ho avuto occasione di vedere il recentissimo e pluripubblicato museo della Necropoli di Pil e Mata, degli architetti David Palterer e Pietro Reali, a Quartucciu, trovandolo chiuso. Queste situazioni sono frequenti, così come è frequente un rapido stravolgimento delle costruzioni rispetto al progetto originario». &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Nel libro si invoca, per la politica regionale, un processo di conoscenza e di promozione del tessuto architettonico. Ma ci sarebbe spazio, oggi, per una discussione sull’architettura contemporanea in Sardegna?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;«L’interesse credo sia sempre piuttosto vivo. Quando ho presentato L’identità Molteplice per la prima volta a Settimo San Pietro la sala era strapiena. Stessa scena nelle presentazioni successive. Mi sembra però che ci sia uno scarsa interesse al di fuori degli addetti ai lavori per l’architettura in generale. Questo vale però per tutta l’Italia. In Sardegna il dibattito avviene prevalentemente grazie a iniziative scientifiche, seminari, convegni, mostre, delle due Facoltà di Architettura di Alghero e Cagliari e altre iniziative di carattere editoriale. Il “Giornale dell’Architettura” dell’editore Allemandi di Torino ha sempre manifestato un certo interesse per l’Architettura in Sardegna. La rivista “Ottagono” ha poi pubblicato un servizio sulla Sardegna nell’ambito del “Giro d’Italia”: una serie di articoli sull’architettura contemporanea delle diverse regioni italiane. Qualcosa è uscito anche su Casabella e Domus e Abitare. Significativi anche il premio “qualità emergente” dell’INarch Sardegna e il “premio del paesaggio” della Regione Autonoma della Sardegna». &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Si potrebbe dare una definizione di identità architettonica in Sardegna?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;«La nozione di identità sintetizza in modo efficace l’opposizione nei confronti dei processi di omologazione provocati dalla globalizzazione, poiché, nell’identificare una cosa, al contempo la distingue. Essa può essere ricondotta al concetto di “Regionalismo critico” formulato nella prima metà degli anni Ottanta da Kenneth Frampton il quale richiamava la necessità di una sorta di "resistenza" nei confronti dell’appiattimento imposto dal mercato globale del consumo che doveva concretizzarsi con un radicamento da parte del progetto alla storia e ai caratteri dei luoghi. Si tratta di un processo difficile. L’imitazione di stilemi falsamente storici o l’adeguamento banale a forme cosiddette tradizionali porta a risultati mediocri e  poveri di significato. Per intendersi lo stile “costa smeralda” e le sue derive consumistiche che hanno portato a ricoprire le coste sarde di case con archi, archetti, colonnine, tetti a falda etc. è quanto più lontano ci possa essere da un corretto riferimento identitario. D’altra parte anche le architetture di qualità caratterizzate da ricerche formali esasperate rese possibili dallo sviluppo dei software per la progettazione sono lontane da un corretto riferimento ai luoghi. Il progetto del museo Bètile è un esempio molto chiaro: avrebbe potuto essere realizzato a Cagliari così come in qualunque altro luogo della terra poiché nelle sue forme non vi era alcuna volontà di dialogo con il  contesto. L’identità va cercata in un difficile processo di studio e comprensione dei luoghi  e della loro storia e tali elementi solo alcuni possono essere presenti nel progetto solo parzialmente, per evocazione o traslazione di significato. Inoltre l’identità è un processo aperto e in continua evoluzione: non corrisponde solo alle condizioni di realtà dei luoghi, ma anche al modo con cui queste condizioni sono interpretate e modificate da coloro che li abitano. Essa rimanda contemporaneamente alla nozione di appartenenza e a quella di modificazione ossia ad un dialogo, fondato sulla conoscenza, fra le preesistenze della città e del territorio e le trasformazioni in corso o programmate. Come ha scritto Amin Maalouf, l’identità "non è data una volta per tutte ma si costruisce e si trasforma durante tutta l’esistenza". Nel caso della Sardegna si tratta quindi  di un’identità molteplice perché il senso di appartenenza è radicato in una pluralità di aspetti. In linea di massima sono: il ruolo del paesaggio, la rarefazione del territorio e la particolarità delle forme insediative, le caratteristiche specifiche dei luoghi, dell’orografia e delle vicende economiche e sociali, la presenza tra gli anni ’50 e ’70 di maestri provenienti da scuole diverse: Libera (Roma e poi Firenze), Sacripanti (Roma), Nervi, Zanuso (Milano), Cini Boeri, Caccia Dominioni, Libero Cecchini (Verona). Gli stessi progettisti che attualmente operano in Sardegna si sono formati nelle Facoltà delle più importanti città in particolare Roma, Firenze, Milano». &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Come nasce questo libro?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;«L’idea del libro è nata nel 2006. Originariamente volevo fare una guida. Mi ero accorto che in Sardegna c’erano delle architetture interessanti ma poste ai margini della pubblicistica specializzata. Cominciai a visitare le opere e a contattare degli studi di cui avevo visto le opere pubblicate sull’Almanacco dell’Architettura Italiana di Electa; feci amicizia con diversi professionisti. Incontrai Giovanni Maciocco, preside della Facoltà di Architettura di Alghero il quale, tramite un ricercatore del suo gruppo di lavoro, mi mise in contatto con l’editore Aìsara di Cagliari. Discutendo con Ignazio Ghiani (responsabile di Aìsara) maturò l’idea di fare una monografia sull’Architettura in Sardegna che pensai di organizzare come un’antologia usabile anche come guida ma intesa ad esprimere un giudizio critico sulle opere. Aìsara solitamente si occupa di letteratura. In questo caso Ghiani accettò di puntare sull’architettura e mi mise nelle condizioni di fare il libro. Ebbi un aiuto molto sostanzioso oltre che dallo stesso Ghiani dalla redazione in particolare dalla dott.sa Melis  che curò la parte redazionale e dall’architetto Cicalò che si occupò della grafica e fotografando diverse opere». &lt;br /&gt;&lt;h5&gt;Andrea Mameli www.linguaggiomacchina.it 14 gennaio 2012&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-6179923123600236405?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/6179923123600236405/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=6179923123600236405&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/6179923123600236405'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/6179923123600236405'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2012/01/identita-architettonica-molteplice-per.html' title='Identità architettonica molteplice.

Li rivela una ricerca condotta dagli istituti di biomedicina e immunologia molecolare (Ibim) e di biofisica (Ibf) del CNR di Palermo e dal dipartimento di Fisica dell’Università di Palermo. Lo studio - pubblicato su &lt;a href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1474-9726.2011.00724.x/full"&gt;Aging Cell&lt;/a&gt; - mostra gli effetti della somministrazione di insulina su un modello di cellule neuronali precedentemente trattate con piccoli aggregati della proteina beta-amiloide (A-beta), la proteina coinvolta nell'eziopatogenesi della malattia di Alzheimer. Precedenti studi hanno evidenziato probabilità di ammalarsi di Alzheimer dell’85% in pazienti con valori elevati di glicemia. Successivamente è stato osservato che i pazienti affetti da Alzheimer presentavano una riduzione di insulina, l'ormone responsabile dell’assorbimento del glucosio a livello cellulare. Alcuni autori si sono spinti a denominare l'Alzheimer "diabete di tipo III". &lt;br /&gt;«Alla base dell’insorgenza dell’Alzheimer - spiega Marta Di Carlo (IBIM-CNR) - vi è un’eccessiva produzione della proteina A-beta nelle cellule cerebrali, che andando ad accumularsi negli spazi intercellulari forma delle vere e proprie placche che sono una delle principali cause della progressiva degenerazione cellulare». &lt;br /&gt;Nello studio si è osservato che l’insulina, dopo essersi legata al suo recettore sulla membrana dei neuroni, provoca una serie di reazioni biochimiche che hanno come molecola chiave Akt: «una proteina - spiega Marta Di Carlo - che attiva una cascata di eventi i quali annullano l’effetto degenerativo di A-beta. In pratica, dopo il trattamento con l’insulina, i neuroni danneggiati sono capaci di riprendere la loro morfologia e ripristinare le funzioni compromesse». &lt;br /&gt;&lt;h5&gt;Andrea Mameli www.linguaggiomacchina.it 12 gennaio 2012&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Insulin activated Akt rescues Aβ oxidative stress-induced cell death by orchestrating molecular trafficking (Valeria Vetri, Rita Carrotta, Valeria Militello, Pier L. San Biagio, Marta Di Carlo)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Summary&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Increasing evidence indicates that Alzheimer’s disease, one of the most diffused aging pathologies, and diabetes may be related. Here, we demonstrate that insulin signalling protects LAN5 cells by amyloid-β42 (Aβ)-induced toxicity. Aβ affects both activation of insulin receptors and the levels of phospho-Akt, a critical signalling molecule in this pathway. In contrast, oxidative stress induced by Aβ can be antagonized by active Akt that, in turn, inhibits Foxo3a, a pro-apoptotic transcription factor activated by reactive oxygen species generation. Insulin cascade protects against mitochondrial damage caused by Aβ treatment, restoring the mitochondrial membrane potential. Moreover, we show that the recovery of the organelle integrity recruits active Akt translocation to the mitochondrion. Here, it plays a role both by maintaining unimpaired the permeability transition pore through increase in HK-II levels and by blocking apoptosis through phosphorylation of Bad, coming from cytoplasm after Aβ stimulus. Together, these results indicate that the Akt survival signal antagonizes the Aβ cell death process by balancing the presence and modifications of common molecules in specific cellular environments.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-8043422390720945094?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/8043422390720945094/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=8043422390720945094&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/8043422390720945094'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/8043422390720945094'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2012/01/alzheimer-e-al-diabete-di-tipo-ii.html' title='Alzheimer e Diabete di tipo II: meccanismi molecolari comuni (Alzheimer’s disease and diabetes may be related).'/><author><name>Andrea Mameli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08858907065175946731</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K8aa26UngiU/TG8m9wAv-5I/AAAAAAAAC_0/Gn-_8Hz1Udc/S220/reycoast.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XSfI787-dgA/TxAYWB6Jv4I/AAAAAAAAFjo/Hgb847D5Zbo/s72-c/insulin-alzheimer.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462532.post-5889607477547259923</id><published>2012-01-13T00:03:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-13T00:12:32.657+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spreco'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='troppo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sprechi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cibo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='porzionare'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vietato sprecare'/><title type='text'>Vietato sprecare cibo!

Here, we investigated whether they would select new stick-like tools on the basis of their rigidity. In Experiment 1, subjects faced an out-of-reach reward and a choice of three unfamiliar tools diVering in color, diameter, material, and rigidity. In order to retrieve the reward, capuchins needed to select the rigid tool exemplar. Capuchins gathered information regarding tools’ pliability either by (1) manipulating the tools themselves (manipulation condition), (2) observing a human demonstrator repeatedly bending the tools (observation condition), or (3) seeing the tools placed on a platform without any manipulation taking place (visual static condition). Subjects selected the rigid tool above chance levels in both the manipulation and observation conditions, but not in the visual static condition. In Experiment 2, subjects needed to select and use a Xexible tool to access a liquid reward (as opposed to the rigid tool, as in previous experiment). Again, capuchins selected above chance levels the appropriate tool (i.e., Xexible), thus demonstrating a good appreciation of the relation between the tool properties and the task requirements.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le otto scimmiette della specie cebi dei cornetti sono state poste nelle condizioni di scegliere tra diverse bacchette in differenti condizioni sperimentali. Ho chiesto a &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Gloria Sabbatini (Istc-Cnr)&lt;/span&gt; e mi ha spiegato che lo strumento rigido è stato scelto in tutti e tre i casi con frequenze significativamente maggiori fatta eccezione per la terza prova: «senza informazioni derivanti dalla manipolazione diretta o indiretta le scimmie non sapevano fare la scelta giusta». &lt;br /&gt;Ma i cebi sono stati posti anche nella condizione di estrarre yogurt dal fondo di un tubo piegato a gomito mediante un bastoncino flessibile. Cosa avete dimostrato con secondo esperimento?&lt;br /&gt;«Che la capacità dei cebi di comprendere le caratteristiche funzionali di uno strumento - mi ha risposto Gloria Sabbatini - non fosse dovuta a una preferenza per strumenti rigidi. I cebi, in questo caso, sono stati in grado di scegliere lo strumento flessibile fra quelli nuovi a disposizione. I risultati ottenuti dimostrano che i cebi non hanno problemi a modificare in maniera flessibile i criteri di selezione al variare dei requisiti del compito da risolvere». &lt;br /&gt;&lt;h5&gt;Andrea Mameli www.linguaggiomacchina.it 12 gennaio 2012&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cnr.it/cnr/news/CnrNews.html?IDn=2333"&gt;Flessibile o rigido, anche le scimmie capiscono quale funziona&lt;/a&gt; (CNR, 11 gennaio 2012)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-7635885134685256886?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/7635885134685256886/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=7635885134685256886&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/7635885134685256886'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/7635885134685256886'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2012/01/tool-choice-on-basis-of-rigidity-in.html' title='Tool choice on the basis of rigidity in capuchin monkeys.

La partecipazione all'esperimento richiede pochi minuti e consiste nella compilazione di un test.&lt;br /&gt;Tutti i dati saranno raccolti in forma anonima e ai partecipanti saranno forniti i punteggi di memoria che potranno essere condivisi tramite Facebook o Twitter.&lt;br /&gt;Dal sito del Guardian è possibile partecipare all'esperimento: &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/blog/2012/jan/10/put-memory-to-test-online-experiment"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;put memory to test online experiment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/test-your-memory/"&gt;Test your memory!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Online test allows public to assess their recall; scientists will use data to study long-term memory. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e6kUy-UJyyY/Tw3-0jH_dII/AAAAAAAAFiI/LEo310fs9KY/s1600/cambridge.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 381px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-e6kUy-UJyyY/Tw3-0jH_dII/AAAAAAAAFiI/LEo310fs9KY/s400/cambridge.jpg" border="0" alt="Cambridge" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5696489282428957826" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Today, Tuesday 10 January, researchers at the University of Cambridge launch what could be the world’s biggest ever memory experiment. Yasemin Yazar, Dr Zara Bergström and Dr Jon Simons from the University of Cambridge’s Department of Experimental Psychology, along with Dr Charles Fernyhough from Durham University, have teamed up with the Guardian to run an online experiment for members of the public to test their memory abilities and find out how they stack up against their friends.&lt;br /&gt;“We’re hoping that thousands of people from all walks of life, and from all over the world, will go to the website and take part,” said Dr Simons, who is leading the research.  Anybody can participate by clicking http://www.guardian.co.uk/memorystudy  to go to the Guardian experiment website and test their memory abilities for free from the comfort of their own homes.&lt;br /&gt;The experiment, which will take just a few minutes to complete, investigates features of long-term memory (our ability to remember events we have experienced).  Participants will study words presented on the screen and different aspects of their memory for the words will be assessed.  All data will be collected anonymously and participants will be able to find out how their memory scores compare to those obtained by previous participants.  They will also be able, should they wish, to share their score with friends via Facebook or Twitter.&lt;br /&gt;“With this experiment, we aim to understand how it is that we’re typically able to remember experiences that may be quite similar to one another without getting them confused.  Related events often share features but, usually, we’re pretty good at distinguishing those events from each other.  Our experiment is designed to study the impact of overlapping memory features on remembering, so errors on the task are entirely normal and nothing to be worried about!  ” said Dr Simons.&lt;br /&gt;“There’s so much we still have to learn about how we remember the things we see,” said Dr Simons.  “Hopefully, taking part in the experiment will be interesting and fun for participants, but in addition, the anonymous results we obtain will contribute a large amount of useful data to our research and will, we hope, provide a real advance in our knowledge about memory.”&lt;br /&gt;The experiment is part of the Guardian’s Memory Week, which culminates in a free guide, “Make the most of your memory”, available with the Guardian newspaper on Saturday 14 January, which includes articles and memory tips from Dr Simons, Dr Fernyhough and a number of other memory experts.&lt;br /&gt;“Remembering is one of the most fascinating and complex functions that our minds perform,” said Dr Fernyhough. “With this study we hope to shed further light on how the brain fits together the different bits of information that go to make up a memory.”&lt;br /&gt;Please note that although this test will help further our understanding in this area of research, it is not intended to be used as a diagnostic tool for memory problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cambridgenetwork.co.uk/news/article/default.aspx?objid=86546"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Researchers at the University of Cambridge have launched what could be the world’s biggest ever memory experiment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (University of Cambridge Office of Communications, 11/01/12).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-3991668925163513494?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/3991668925163513494/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=3991668925163513494&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/3991668925163513494'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/3991668925163513494'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2012/01/metti-alla-prova-la-tua-memoria.html' title='Metti alla prova la tua memoria nell&apos;esperimento più grande del mondo'/><author><name>Andrea Mameli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08858907065175946731</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K8aa26UngiU/TG8m9wAv-5I/AAAAAAAAC_0/Gn-_8Hz1Udc/S220/reycoast.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kGnP1_vqlg8/Tw3-FLKkGGI/AAAAAAAAFh8/guziVn5xcLk/s72-c/guardian.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462532.post-9010408552392418696</id><published>2012-01-11T00:07:00.007+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-11T00:40:36.578+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sheet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='music'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='turner'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='patent'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Augusto Bissiri'/><title type='text'>Sheet music turner (sfogliatore di spartiti a pedale).

Lo studio è realizzato dall’Istituto di Fisiologia Clinica del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche per la prima volta nel 1995 e dal 1999 viene ripetuto con cadenza annuale su un campione rappresentativo delle scuole superiori presenti sul territorio nazionale. L’indagine viene condotta tra gli studenti con il metodo classico e ben accetto di somministrare i questionari contemporaneamente a tutta la classe; i dati sono rilevati, quindi, nelle stesse condizioni di un compito scritto. A garanzia del più completo anonimato, i questionari vengono compilati senza riportare il nome, i risultati presentati in forma aggregata e non viene divulgata alcuna informazione relativa alla classe e alla scuola.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;1) Prevalenza gioco d’azzardo nella popolazione scolarizzata: almeno una volta negli ultimi dodici mesi (valore percentuale) &lt;/span&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;15-19 anni Italia: 47,0&lt;br /&gt;15-19 anni Sardegna: 49,2    &lt;br /&gt;      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;2) Distribuzione dei soggetti nella popolazione scolarizzata che riferiscono gioco di azzardo in base ai luoghi in cui hanno giocato negli ultimi dodici mesi (valore percentuale)  &lt;/span&gt;       &lt;br /&gt;        &lt;br /&gt;Sale scommessa Sardegna&lt;br /&gt;Maschi: 24,2.

A 26 anni, nel 1905, emigra in nord America. A suo nome esistono una decina di brevetti depositati negli Usa. Qui a sinistra il brevetto de Bissiri nel 1922 con il nome di  "Live Picture Production").&lt;br /&gt;Una targa del sindaco di New York, dedicata a Bissiri, è esposta nell’archivio dell’emigrazione di Casa Farci a Seui (dove il Liceo Scientifico porta il suo cognome). Un artcolo pubblicato dal mensile “Il Messaggero Sardo” del giugno 1998, intitolato “Augusto Bissiri inventore della televisione”, Giuseppe Deplano racconta che nel 1905 l’inventore sardo si trasferisce a New York e l’anno seguente riesce a trasmettere una fotografia da una stanza a un’altra. Nello stesso articolo si narra che nel 1917 Augusto Bissiri, con un apparecchio, di sua invenzione, brevettato il 4 gennaio 1928 a Los Angeles, riesce a trasmettere un'immagine fotografica da Londra e New York.  &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7xwio7Xq_OQ/TwmMrI2aAqI/AAAAAAAAFek/EzOSaHeVf3k/s1600/bissiriTV.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7xwio7Xq_OQ/TwmMrI2aAqI/AAAAAAAAFek/EzOSaHeVf3k/s400/bissiriTV.jpg" border="0" alt="Bissiri Live Picture Production pat. 1922" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695237876524647074" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Effettuando ricerche tra i brevetti depositati negli Usa si scoprono altre invenzioni di Bissiri: una cerbottana per il lancio di aerei di legno leggero con ali retrattili (1928), una “Pulitrice automatica per dischi telefonici” (1930), un “Sistema per spegnere le sigarette con una sferetta piena d’acqua” (1933), un “Dispensatore automatico di palline a moneta” (1935).&lt;br /&gt;L’Unione Sarda del 22 maggio 1906 scriveva già di questo scienziato di ventura ante litteram: “Ai valorosi che, come il giovane Bissiri, per il bene dell’umanità si sacrificano, vada il nostro plauso e la nostra ammirazione”. &lt;br /&gt;Non ho trovato altre notizie su Augusto Bissiri (e sul fratello Adriano, artista e cineasta, deceduto in Texas nel 1966) oltre alla data della morte dell'inventore di Seui: il 25 febbraio 1968, in California. E una breve annotazione nel sito del museo &lt;a href="http://www.sardegnacultura.it/j/v/253?s=19520&amp;v=2&amp;c=2487&amp;c1=2129&amp;t=1"&gt;Casa Farci&lt;/a&gt; di Seui: "Fra il materiale esposto è importante ricordare un documento dei fratelli Bissiri che idearono, negli Stati Uniti, un apparecchio che si può definire l'antenato del tubo catodico".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h5&gt;Andrea Mameli www.linguaggiomacchina.it 8 gennaio 2012&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ringrazio Sandra Ennas per le ricerche sui brevetti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Approfondimenti:&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;a href="http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2007/09/e-philo-invent-la-tv.html"&gt;E Philo inventò la TV.

Secondo l'&lt;a href="http://gambling.it/"&gt;Associazione per lo studio del gioco d'azzardo e dei comportamenti a rischio (ALEA)&lt;/a&gt; nel 2010 questo fenomeno ha raccolto 64 miliardi di euro e per il 2011 si stima un valore superiore ai 75 miliardi. Stando a questi dati l’Italia avrebbe assorbito il 23 per cento dell’intero consumo mondiale di gioco d’azzardo. In cifre assolute: 86 miliardi di dollari su 368 (dati forniti da A.gi.co.s. per il 2010). &lt;br /&gt;Ora una ricerca dell'&lt;a href="http://www.ftgm.it/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Istituto di fisiologia clinica del Consiglio nazionale delle ricerche (IFC-CNR, Pisa)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; pubblicata su Springer Science (Studio sul comportamento nel gioco d’azzardo nella popolazione italiana) descrive il giocatore tipo: maschio, licenza media inferiore, fumatore e forte consumatore di alcolici. La categoria più a rischio? I giovani giocatori che abusano anche di tranquillanti. &lt;br /&gt;Per la coordinatrice della ricerca, Sabrina Molinaro (IFC-CNR): «Il 42% della popolazione campionata nelle fasce di età 15-24 e 25-64 ha giocato somme di denaro almeno una volta nel corso degli ultimi 12 mesi. In proporzione, possiamo considerare circa 17 milioni di persone coinvolte dal gioco d’azzardo, una sorta di epidemia sociale che condiziona molte famiglie italiane. Dichiara di aver giocato almeno una volta negli ultimi dodici mesi il 36% dei 15-24enni, equivalente a 2,2 milioni di giovani adulti, composto dal 27% di cosiddetti giocatori sociali e dal 9% di problematici, questi ultimi corrispondenti a 500 mila persone. Negli adulti coloro che affermano di aver giocato almeno una volta negli ultimi dodici mesi sono il 45% - in proporzione 15 milioni - tra il 37% che non presenta criticità e l’8% classificato tra i problematici”, prosegue Molinaro». &lt;br /&gt;Secondo la ricercatrice del CNR la predominanza maschile potrebbe discendere dal marketing, orientato soprattutto verso i maschi: scommesse sportive, poker on-line, slot-machine . &lt;br /&gt;«Solo di recente la pubblicità si rivolge alle donne con giochi come il bingo, gratta e vinci, lotto, superenalotto». &lt;br /&gt;Hanno la loro influenza anche il livello d'istruzione e la combinazione con altre problematiche: «I giocatori 15-24enni in possesso della sola licenza media inferiore, uomini e donne, cadono maggiormente nella dipendenza rispetto a chi ha conseguito la laurea. Inoltre, tra i giovani che usano tranquillanti tale possibilità è tripla, mentre per chi fuma oltre undici sigarette al giorno e per chi ha un profilo di alcolismo è doppia». &lt;br /&gt;&lt;h5&gt;Andrea Mameli www.linguaggiomacchina.it 5 gennaio 2012&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.springerlink.com/content/u854574721152g70/"&gt;Complex Factors and Behaviors in the Gambling Population of Italy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Springer Science. Business Media, LLC 2011 (DOI: 10.1007/s10899-011-9283-8)&lt;br /&gt;Luca Bastiani, Mercedes Gori, Emanuela Colasante, Valeria Siciliano, Daniela Capitanucci, Paolo Jarre, Sabrina Molinaro &lt;a href="http://www.ftgm.it/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;(IFC-CNR)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Abstract&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gambling has seen significant growth globally, and particularly in Italy: it has rapidly evolved from a simple recreational activity to represent 4% of Italian GDP in 2010.A sample of 4.494 gamblers was drawn from IPSAD-Italia®2007-2008 (Italian Population Survey on Alcohol and Drugs) in order to examine different gambling patterns (assessed using the Canadian Problem Gambling Index Short form scale).Separate analysis was performed on young adults, age 15–24 (n = 1,241; male 56.2%), and adults, age 25–64 (n = 3,253; male 53.8%): compared with adults, Italian youth, although they gambled less (35.7% vs. 45.3%), appeared to have higher prevalence of low risk gambling (6.9% vs. 5.8%) and moderate risk or problem gambling (2.3% vs. 2.2%). Males are more likely to be moderate-risk or problem gamblers. Those with only a primary education are more likely to be moderate-risk or problem gamblers (young adults: RRR = 5.22; adults: RRR = 3.23) than those with a university education, just like those youth who use depressants, but only among younger (RRR = 3.38).A fundamental issue, “do not disapprove of gambling”, seems to relate to problematic gambling: a specific Italian legislation, the Abruzzi Decree Law, could have influenced the perception that gambling may contribute positively to provide additional funds to the government for social good as well as to add needed jobs. Regardless of such potential social benefits, gambling is a social epidemic and if this association should be confirmed by more focused studies, policy makers should evaluate ways to affect this perception as soon as possible.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-1133930601953503219?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/1133930601953503219/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=1133930601953503219&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/1133930601953503219'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/1133930601953503219'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2012/01/gioco-dazzardo-epidemia-italiana-uno.html' title='Gioco d’azzardo: epidemia italiana.

Lo attestano i rilevamenti della Banca dati del &lt;a href="http://www.isac.cnr.it/climstor/"&gt;Gruppo di climatologia storica dell'Istituto di scienze dell'atmosfera e del clima del Consiglio nazionale delle ricerche (ISAC-CNR) di Bologna&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;L'anno appena concluso ha fatto registrare un'anomalia di un grado sopra la media del periodo di riferimento 1971-2000. A contribuire a questo record sono state soprattutto la primavera e l'autunno (rispettivamente quinta e quarta più calde degli ultimi due secoli). I mesi più caldi del 2011 sono stati settembre (secondo) e aprile (terzo). Oltre a essere stato un anno molto caldo il 2011 è risultato anche abbastanza secco, con un 13% di precipitazioni in meno rispetto alla media di riferimento, che lo colloca al 20-esimo posto tra gli anni meno piovosi dal 1800 ad oggi. Nello stesso periodo l'anno più freddo è stato il 1816 (-2.63).&lt;br /&gt;Ecco la graduatoria dei primi 15 anni più caldi che vede in testa il 2003, con un'anomalia di +1.22 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;2003&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;1994&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;2000 e &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;2011&lt;/span&gt; pari merito &lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;2007&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;2001&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;2002&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;2006&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;1997&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;1999&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;1990&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;1998&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;2004&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-7726348640718835011?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/7726348640718835011/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=7726348640718835011&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/7726348640718835011'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/7726348640718835011'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2012/01/il-2011-terzo-nella-classifica-degli.html' title='Il 2011 terzo nella classifica degli anni più caldi, dal 1800 a oggi'/><author><name>Andrea Mameli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08858907065175946731</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K8aa26UngiU/TG8m9wAv-5I/AAAAAAAAC_0/Gn-_8Hz1Udc/S220/reycoast.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dr_SIacq2y0/TwR_xsuVElI/AAAAAAAAFdE/Q6Y7qcROPG4/s72-c/meteo.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462532.post-8153810548981614938</id><published>2012-01-04T13:46:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-04T20:19:39.479+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ino-Cnr'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Giovanni Giusfredi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CNR'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Carbonio 14'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='archeologia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='radiodatazione'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Istituto Nazionale di Ottica'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Laser'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Physical Review Letters'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Paolo De Natale'/><title type='text'>Un laser per snidare il carbonio 14 (L'Unione Sarda, 4 gennaio 2012)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lYVoF_Fcj4k/TwRK0fGIA_I/AAAAAAAAFc4/sprnWATwS14/s1600/IMAG0888.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 120px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lYVoF_Fcj4k/TwRK0fGIA_I/AAAAAAAAFc4/sprnWATwS14/s200/IMAG0888.jpg" border="0" alt="laser radiocarbonio CNR"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693758094463992818" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Nasce nei laboratori dell’Istituto Nazionale di Ottica del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, l'INO-CNR di Sesto Fiorentino, il laser che rivoluzionerà la datazione archeologica. &lt;br /&gt;Da oltre trent’anni l'età di un reperto si può calcolare in base alla quantità residua di carbonio 14, presente in tutte le sostanze organiche: carta, denti, ossa, tessuti, legno. Il carbonio viene assunto dagli organismi viventi mediante la respirazione e l’alimentazione e il suo isotopo 14, essendo radioattivo, con il tempo si trasforma in azoto e sparisce. Quando un organismo muore la sua quantità di carbonio 14 diminuisce progressivamente e questo ne fa uno dei migliori sistemi per misurarne l’età. I dispositivi che consentono di effettuare queste misure, gli spettrometri di massa, sono molto ingombranti e costosi. Il nuovo sistema sviluppato al CNR, piccolo, maneggevole e sicuramente più economico, rivela per via ottica la concentrazione di carbonio 14 anche in quantità molto basse. Il suo impiego, oltre all'archeologia, potrebbe rivelarsi utile anche nella misurazione di parametri ambientali, sanitari e di sicurezza. Nonché nella pratica di laboratorio di fisica.&lt;br /&gt;Lo spiega il fisico Giovanni Giusfredi, del gruppo di ricerca INO-CNR che opera all'interno del progetto internazionale “European Laboratory for Nonlinear Spectroscopy” e co-autore del lavoro: «Nell’analisi con spettrometri di massa ogni atomo di carbonio deve essere “estratto” dalla molecola di anidride carbonica che lo contiene e che viene prodotta con la combustione dei reperti. Dato che in natura solo una molecola ogni mille miliardi contiene carbonio 14 invece di carbonio “normale”, per misurarne la quantità è necessaria una grande sensibilità. Con la nuova tecnica possiamo invece misurare direttamente il numero di molecole che contengono l’atomo di carbonio 14. Il sistema proposto occupa inoltre uno spazio di quasi 100 volte inferiore e costa almeno 10 volte meno rispetto agli apparecchi finora utilizzati.» &lt;br /&gt;La nuova metodologia si basa su una tecnica spettroscopica descritta sulla rivista “Physical Review Letters” in un primo articolo del 19 marzo 2010 e in uno del 30 dicembre 2011 intitolato. “Molecular Gas Sensing Below Parts Per Trillion: Radiocarbon-Dioxide Optical Detection”. &lt;br /&gt;Con il sistema ideato nei laboratori dell'INO-CNR sarà possibile rivelare molecole in concentrazione estremamente ridotta, il che fa di quest'applicazione non solo uno strumento rivoluzionario per l'archeologia, ma anche per il monitoraggio dei cambiamenti climatici, degli agenti inquinanti e nella ricerca medica. Per raggiungere la sensibilità richiesta i ricercatori hanno usato luce laser infrarossa, invisibile all’occhio umano ma assorbita con particolare facilità dalle molecole di anidride carbonica. La radiazione infrarossa viene riflessa molte volte tra due specchi ai lati di un tubo che contiene il gas sul quale effettuare le misure. In questo modo la luce attraversa migliaia di volte le molecole di anidride carbonica da analizzare, il che equivale a moltiplicare per migliaia di volte la quantità di molecole disponibili e a innalzare di fatto la sensibilità della misura.&lt;br /&gt;Ma allora l'archeologo del futuro con questo sistema potrà datare i reperti sul campo senza attendere la risposta di un laboratorio?&lt;br /&gt;«Molto probabilmente sarà possibile – risponde Paolo De Natale, direttore dell’INO-CNR – ma andranno sviluppati e ingegnerizzati appositi strumenti "da campo": il nostro è ancora un prototipo da laboratorio che però dimostra la fattibilità della misura con questa nuova modalità.» &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;ANDREA MAMELI&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-8153810548981614938?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/8153810548981614938/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=8153810548981614938&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/8153810548981614938'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/8153810548981614938'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2012/01/un-laser-per-snidare-il-carbonio-14.html' title='Un laser per snidare il carbonio 14 (L&apos;Unione Sarda, 4 gennaio 2012)'/><author><name>Andrea Mameli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08858907065175946731</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K8aa26UngiU/TG8m9wAv-5I/AAAAAAAAC_0/Gn-_8Hz1Udc/S220/reycoast.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lYVoF_Fcj4k/TwRK0fGIA_I/AAAAAAAAFc4/sprnWATwS14/s72-c/IMAG0888.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462532.post-8090732868177678146</id><published>2012-01-04T00:57:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-06T01:05:26.351+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='taxi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ippocampo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Current Biology'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='black cabs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Knowledge'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Londra'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='London'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Katherine Woollett'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eleanor Maguire'/><title type='text'>I tassisti, l'ippocampo e “The Knowledge”</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Gv06Y5P6yCk/TwOS86axUjI/AAAAAAAAFcg/xjLX-aHY294/s1600/hippo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Gv06Y5P6yCk/TwOS86axUjI/AAAAAAAAFcg/xjLX-aHY294/s320/hippo.jpg" border="0" alt="ippocampo" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693555929097785906" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; L’ippocampo è una porzione del cervello situata in profondità nel lobo medio-temporale, coinvolta nella navigazione spaziale e nella memoria a lungo termine. Il celebre caso di &lt;a href="http://blog.fainotizia.it/2008/12/14/henry-gustav-molaison-l-uomo-che-non-poteva-ricordare-il-caso-clinico-pi-studiato-in-vita-e-citato-della-stor"&gt;Henry Gustav Molaison&lt;/a&gt; ha mostrato che senza ippocampo non è possibile formare nuove memorie di eventi e di nozioni semantiche. Numerosi studi hanno evidenziato che alcune attività sono in grado di modificare la dimensione dell'ippocampo negli esseri umani. Ricerche condotte sul cervello dei tassisti londinesi hmostrano che il volume di materia grigia nella regione posteriore dell’ippocampo è maggiore di quella dei non guidatori di taxi. Per ottenere la licenza di guida dei taxi viene richiesta la conoscenza delle oltre 25 mila strade di Londra comprese entro 10 km dalla stazione di Charing Cross.&lt;br /&gt;Le neuroscienziate &lt;a href="http://www.researchgate.net/researcher/38998514_Katherine_Woollett"&gt;Katherine Woollett&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a href="http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/Maguire/"&gt;Eleanor Maguire&lt;/a&gt; dell'istituto di neurologia &lt;a href="https://iris.ucl.ac.uk/research/group/showgroup?groupId=1419"&gt;Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging&lt;/a&gt; (University College London) hanno pubblicato su Current Biology uno studio (&lt;a href="http://www.cell.com/current-biology/retrieve/pii/S096098221101267X"&gt;Acquiring “the Knowledge” of London's Layout Drives Structural Brain Changes&lt;/a&gt;) sul cambiamento del cervello di aspiranti tassisti londinesi nell'arco di 4 anni (quanto dura la preparazione del test di accesso denominato &lt;a href="http://www.tfl.gov.uk/businessandpartners/taxisandprivatehire/1412.aspx"&gt;“The Knowledge”&lt;/a&gt;). Nel cervello di chi supera il terribile test si osserva un significativo aumento della materia grigia della parte posteriore dell'ippocampo. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2Zt0i6YkHwU/TwOYiaXo6cI/AAAAAAAAFcs/QuA0MRPaZe4/s1600/EleanorMaguire.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 219px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2Zt0i6YkHwU/TwOYiaXo6cI/AAAAAAAAFcs/QuA0MRPaZe4/s320/EleanorMaguire.jpg" border="0" alt="Eleanor Maguire with a video game that simulates driving a taxi through the streets of London" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693562070887885250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Woollett e Maguire hanno esaminato il comportamento di 79 candidati e 31 persone di controllo (non guidatori di taxi) con l'ausilio dell'imaging a risonanza magnetica (Magnetic Resonance Imaging, MRI). Solo in 39 hanno superato i test, ottenendo la qualifica di tassisti. Le ricercatrici hanno così diviso i partecipanti in tre gruppi: quelli che hanno superato l'esame, quelli che non l'hanno superato e il campione di controllo (che non hanno svolto i test).&lt;br /&gt;Le ricercatrici hanno esaminato la struttura del cervello dei volontati all'inizio dello studio, non riscontrando differenze significative nella struttura della parte posteriore dell'ippocampo. Fra 3 e 4 anni dopo le ricercatrici hanno riesaminato le strutture del cervello dei partecipanti e testato le loro prestazioni in compiti di memoria. Le differenze a questo punto si sono fatte significative: in coloro che hanno superato i test per diventare tassisti il volume di materia grigia dell'ippocampo posteriore si è rivelato notevolmente maggiore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h5&gt;Andrea Mameli - www.linguaggiomacchina.it - 4 gennaio 2012&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-8090732868177678146?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/8090732868177678146/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=8090732868177678146&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/8090732868177678146'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/8090732868177678146'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2012/01/i-tassisti-lippocampo-e-knowledge.html' title='I tassisti, l&apos;ippocampo e “The Knowledge”'/><author><name>Andrea Mameli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08858907065175946731</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K8aa26UngiU/TG8m9wAv-5I/AAAAAAAAC_0/Gn-_8Hz1Udc/S220/reycoast.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Gv06Y5P6yCk/TwOS86axUjI/AAAAAAAAFcg/xjLX-aHY294/s72-c/hippo.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462532.post-6390470578691106285</id><published>2012-01-03T00:28:00.020+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-03T02:30:35.712+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bolotana'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sheeps'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pecore'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cows'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='transumanza'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sardinia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='transhumance'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mucche'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sardegna'/><title type='text'>Quando le pecore osservarono le mucche passare.

Improvvismente, un secondo concerto: sono i belati di un gregge e il feroce abbaiare di due cani. Le pecore, quasi immobili, osservano le mucche passare. Riconosco da lontano le loro teste triangolari con le orecchie allargate a centottanta gradi. Sicuramente ci stavano ascoltando da tempo. E i cani? Quelli, se potessero, verrebbero fuori. E dento che, se uscissero, verrebbero subito da me. E affondarebbero i loro denti nei miei polpacci. Per fortuna un bel muro, eretto a custodire quel capitale vivente di carne, di latte e di lana, serve a proteggere anche me e le mie gambe dalle fauci delle due bestie furenti. E sì, perché sono sicuro che se ora i due mostri uscissero fuori non andrebbero  di certo dalle mucche. E di certo non andrebbero dal signor Pietro che le accompagna con i suoi gesti misurati. Di certo verrebbero da me. Ma a pensarci bene non è solo il muro a proteggermi: questi cani, discendenti dei mastini del Tibet e imparentati con i molossi assiri, sono frutto di una selezionati durata migliaia di anni allo scopo di difendere il gregge. Morirebbero per salvare le pecore, quindi non si allontanerebbero mai da loro. O almeno questo penso io. E posso continuare a scattar foto tranquillo. Così mi accorgo che le pecore hanno preso a seguire non solo con lo sguardo le prime mucche. E si accalcano al cancello: quando passiamo accanto le sento belare con forza. Perché? Forse speravano di rivedere il loro pastore e ora gridano la cocente delusione? Non lo so. So solo che l'unica volta che ho avuto a che fare con le pecore, nel 1991 a Siligo, quando facevo il servizio civile, non sono riuscito a capirle. O meglio, a contarle. Nella comunità (S'Aspru) una sera mi diedero l'incarico di riportare il gregge all'ovile. Tutto bene per la prima fase dell'operazione. Un pezzo di sentiero percorso rapidamente e senza intoppi. Poi il disastro: una pecora vede un varco nella rete che delimita un campo di erba medica, è un attimo. Senza che io possa fare nulla sono tutte dentro. Per fortuna passava un ragazzo esperto e in pochi minuti il gregge era di nuovo sulla via di casa. E qui viene il bello. Ho sempre pensato che contare le pecore fosse un'attività tranquilla. Oserei dire pre-onirica. Anche perché mi era capitato di vedere dei pastori intenti a contare le loro pecore e mi era sembrato un gioco da ragazzi. Una parola! Dopo le prime dieci avevo già perso ogni riferimento: non capivo se quelle che passavano le avevo già contate. Non capivo se quelle che vedevo erano quelle che avevo già visto e contato un attimo. O forse non avevo contato neppure quelle... C'è poco da fare: quelle bestie erano molto più svelte di me. E forse anche più furbe.&lt;br /&gt;Mi scuote dai ricordi di vent'anni fa, quasi ventuno (Maya permettendo), la voce di Pietro: "Siamo quasi arrivati". Pochi metri e le mucche sono a casa: ora Sergio apre il cancello, ed ecco il prato promesso... Calme, solenni, entrano e si dispongono per il banchetto. Non c'è dubbio: le mucche sono molto più facili da contare.&lt;br /&gt;La transumanza è finita, andate in pace. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;h5&gt;Andrea Mameli &lt;a href="http://www.linguaggiomacchina.it"&gt;www.linguaggiomacchina.it&lt;/a&gt; 3 gennaio 2012&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vedi anche: &lt;a href="http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2011/12/transumanza-una-straordinaria.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Transumanza: una straordinaria esperienza.

Physical Review Letters, 104, 110801, March 2010. G. Giusfredi, S. Bartalini, S. Borri, P. Cancio, I. Galli, D. Mazzotti, P. De Natale;&lt;a href="http://www.ino.it"&gt; Istituto Nazionale di Ottica INO-CNR&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://www.lens.unifi.it"&gt;European Laboratory for Nonlinear Spectroscopy&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;A new article, published 30 December 2011, explain the improved methd: &lt;a href="http://prl.aps.org/abstract/PRL/v107/i27/e270802"&gt;Molecular Gas Sensing Below Parts Per Trillion: Radiocarbon-Dioxide Optical Detection&lt;/a&gt; (Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 270802. I. Galli, S. Bartalini, S. Borri, P. Cancio, D. Mazzotti, P. De Natale, G. Giusfredi).&lt;br /&gt;To determine the age of a sample, the SCAR technique uses a highly stable infrared laser to excite carbon dioxide molecules in a mirrored cavity. When the laser is turned off, trapped light dies away in the cavity (or “rings-down”) at a rate that depends on the amount of carbon-14 in the sample. The researchers stress the sensitivity of the system (that costs ten times less than an accelerator mass spectrometry) targeting rare carbon dioxide molecules containing carbon-14. This new optics-based method for detecting trace gases is based on infrared laser light to detect tiny amounts of carbon-14 in a gas sample. Then the system can detect a trace gas at a a lower pressure than any previous method has detected for a simple molecular gas (half of a femtobar: 10−15 times atmospheric pressure).&lt;br /&gt;This system can help archelogy, but De Natale says that, in future, the technique could be adapted to detect tiny quantities of other rare molecules. This could allow it to be used to monitor the concentrations of hazardous pollutants in air and water, to detect explosives, and to conduct research in fundamental physics.&lt;div

Insieme a lei Paola De Rose (neuropsichiatra, al momento della ricerca collaborava con l'ospedale Fatebenefratelli di Genzano) e Patrizia R. Cantiello (educatrice specializzata in onoterapia per l'ospedale Fatebenefratelli di Genzano) hanno analizzato il particolare legame che si instaura tra i bambini e gli animali e che facilita il percorso terapeutico.&lt;br /&gt;«L'approccio metodologico dei programmi riabilitativi assistiti con gli asini - spiegano le autrici - è basato sulla mediazione, caratterizzata da relazioni multidirezionali paziente-asino-terapista. L'asino è un eccellente facilitatore nella costruzione di processi motivazionali, essendo in grado di promuovere, attraverso stimoli attivi e positivi, lo sviluppo psico-emozionale e psico-cognitivo del bambino».&lt;br /&gt;I risultati di questo studio evidenziano il tipo di approccio fra questo animale e i bambini, basato più su espressioni comunicative fisiche che sul linguaggio verbale. «In Francia e in Inghilterra - sottolinea Elisabetta Cannas - l'onoterapia viene utilizzata da diversi anni mentre in Italia esiste solo in alcuni centri. Non tutti utilizzano lo psicologo o una figura specializzata, come mediatore della relazione. La terapia con l'asino necessita di alcuni parametri fondamentali: lo psicologo o la figura specializzata in questo tipo di mediazione, gli incontri prestabiliti, gli obiettivi mirati e studiati in base alla persona, la valutazione con relativa scheda. L'obiettivo dell'onoterapia è quello di sviluppare nell'individuo una buona capacità di relazione con l'altro e con se stesso».&lt;br /&gt;La dottoressa Cannas conduce le terapie singole e di gruppo con il fondamentale apporto dei suoi asini, Amelia, Totò e Tresi. Lo studio pubblicato negli Annali dell'Istituto Superiore di Sanità è stato condotto su piccoli pazienti della Clinica Neuropsichiatrica dell'Istituto Fatebenefratelli di Genzano che hanno ricevuto trattamenti di logopedia e di neuropsicomotricità tra giugno e settembre 2008: tre bambini e una bambina fra 6 e 12 anni, con diagnosi di disturbi relazionali e del comportamento. Il risultato più evidente è stato il netto miglioramento dell'autostima e della relazione con il mondo esterno.&lt;br /&gt;L'analisi dei risultati dello studio indica che i bambini fanno più affidamento sulla comunicazione fisica che sul linguaggio, con una forte partecipazione emotiva. Secondo le autrici gli asini rappresentano una valida opportunità terapeutica che merita di essere ulteriormente approfondita in contesti strutturati. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Andrea Mameli&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://edicola.unionesarda.it/articolo/2663269/se-un-asino-puo-aiutarci-a-star-meglio.html"&gt;L'Unione Sarda, Cultura, pag. 62 (31 dicembre 2011)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-460087936516947232?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/460087936516947232/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=460087936516947232&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/460087936516947232'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/460087936516947232'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2011/12/se-un-asino-puo-aiutarci-star-meglio.html' title='Se un asino può aiutarci a star meglio.

Questa è la ricetta che propone Andrea Mameli, fisico e divulgatore con la passione per le tematiche legate alla sostenibilità ambientale e convinto sostenitore della decrescita, che ha recentemente raccontato i suoi piccoli trucchi quotidiani in “Manuale di sopravvivenza energetica – Come consumare meglio ed essere felici”.&lt;br /&gt;Edito da Scienza Express, neonata casa editrice che ha come progetto la divulgazione scientifica e il dibattito pubblico intorno alla scienza e alla ricerca, il Manuale propone esempi e consigli pratici per risparmiare energia tenendo sempre d’occhio il risparmio energetico: piccole soluzioni per ridurre l’impatto ambientale delle attività di tutti i giorni senza grandi rinunce ma soprattutto senza enormi spese.&lt;br /&gt;Evitare di aprire inutilmente il frigorifero, ridurre l’utilizzo dell’automobile e ingegnarsi per la costruzione di piccoli dispositivi per la produzione energetica: questo è ciò che può fare ognuno di noi nel suo piccolo per evitare gli sprechi di energia a casa, in ufficio ma anche durante gli spostamenti o in vacanza. Un modo semplice e alla portata di tutti per prendere coscienza delle tematiche etiche legate alla sostenibilità, con schede di approfondimento che illustrano i concetti base della fisica e insegnano a calcolare i consumi e i costi.&lt;br /&gt;Abbiamo incontrato l’autore del libro, Andrea Mameli, per discutere con lui delle opportunità e delle problematiche legate alla sostenibilità ambientale e al risparmio energetico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Partiamo dal titolo del tuo libro. Anzi, dal sottotitolo: parli non di un consumo minore ma di un consumo migliore. Cosa intendi? Consumare meglio significa necessariamente consumare meno?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tendere a consumare bene dovrebbe essere un comportamento spontaneo, da imparare con l’esempio dei genitori e a scuola. Ma è proprio il consumo – e  qui parliamo di consumo energetico diretto, come nel caso dei carburanti o dell’elettricità, e indiretto come nel caso del consumo di energia per lo spostamento dell’acqua che poi usiamo in svariati modi - a essere spesso eccessivo.&lt;br /&gt;Consumare meglio significa cercare di discostarsi da uno spreco che si può limitare: un atteggiamento che secondo me, e non solo secondo me, può generare felicità. Ma non significa meno in assoluto, nel senso che quando consumare serve il problema non sussiste. È compito della nostra coscienza, unita alla razionalità, spiegarci quando stiamo esagerando per davvero.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Ma cosa possiamo fare realmente ogni giorno?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La prima cosa che possiamo fare è informarci. E spesso riusciamo a scoprire qualcosa che non sapevamo o che non consideravamo nella giusta prospettiva. Informarci ci può aiutare a capire che a volte basta poco per ottenere considerevoli risparmi e inoltre ci può indirizzare nel considerare i consumi nelle loro giuste proporzioni.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;I suggerimenti descritti nel libro sembrano semplici da attuare e comportano anche  un grande risparmio economico. Eppure pochi li mettono in pratica. Perché&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Siamo animali pigri e portati a sottovalutare gli effetti delle nostre azioni anziché dominare la nostra pigrizia. Senza contare la diffusa ignoranza sui temi energetici. Ignoranza anche spicciola, per esempio rispetto a quanto consumano gli apparati elettronici che abbiamo in casa o su come possiamo limitare gli sprechi di energia elettrica. Ma anche ignoranza rispetto a semplici comportamenti da poter mettere in pratica, come per esempio contenere gli sprechi di calore d’inverno. Ed è meglio non parlare della mobilità, altra nota dolente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Rispetto a poche decine di anni fa la tecnologia ha fatto passi da gigante e con essa anche i consumi di energia? Perché la decrescita dovrebbe essere un’opportunità? Non vuol dire in parte rinunciare alle comodità guadagnate in questi anni?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ci possiamo dar da fare quanto vogliamo ma non dobbiamo illuderci di risolvere i problemi con le tecnologie. Possiamo affrontarli meglio ma non risolverli del tutto. Non lo dico io ma lo sostiene l’economia. Un economista inglese, William Stanley Jevons, ha dimostrato che i miglioramenti tecnologici a cui dobbiamo l’aumento dell’efficienza di una risorsa possono portare all’incremento del consumo di quella risorsa. E Il paradosso di Jevons non è  l’unico campanello dall’allarme. C’è la necessità di ridurre i consumi perché qualsiasi intervento umano nel ciclo antropico, ovvero ogni nostra esigenza energetica per mantenere il nostro tenore di vita, determina qualche cambiamento nell’ambiente.&lt;br /&gt;Ogni modalità di trasformazione energetica ha dei frutti “sgradevoli”, più o meno rilevanti, più o meno inquinanti. Inoltre, ogni nostra comodità, come in un’altalena a due posti, determina la scomodità di altre persone sul nostro stesso pianeta. Poi ci sarebbe una considerazione sul PIL, incapace di valutare il reale grado di felicità di noi umani, con la conseguente necessità di reperire altri indicatori del cosiddetto benessere. La decrescita potrebbe rappresentare una risposta a questi problemi? Io sto iniziando a pensare di sì. E lo faccio in compagnia di  Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen, il primo a misurare i temi economici con il metro della fisica, in particolare della termodinamica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Sono anni che si sente parlare in giro di sostenibilità e risparmio energetico. Credi che la gente sia ancora interessata a questi temi o forse la comunicazione è satura? Come è possibile coinvolgere le persone su questo tema?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coinvolgere e interessare, rispetto a temi che mediaticamente risentono di una certa inflazione, non è facile ma possiamo, anzi, dobbiamo trovare nuove chiavi di lettura, nuovi approcci. Possiamo e dobbiamo farlo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Le imprese che ruolo possono avere nel risparmio energetico? Credi che per un’azienda sia più complesso attuare comportamenti sostenibili rispetto a un singolo cittadino?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Molte imprese hanno capito rapidamente due concetti fondamentali e li hanno messi in atto con pratiche talvolta di successo. Primo: ridurre gli sprechi è la prima mossa per aggredire la crisi. Secondo: comunicarlo può essere vincente. Mi spiego meglio: le imprese che autoproducono la loro energia, quelle che riusano e riciclano, e che segnalano questi comportamenti virtuosi nella loro comunicazione (nelle etichette, nei siti web, nelle pubblicità, nei social network) ottengono un risultato d’immagine enorme.&lt;br /&gt;Non a caso sono nati i consulenti per i NegaWatt, ovvero l’unità di misura che quantifica la potenza risparmiata: sono persone in grado di formulare una strategia di risparmio – anche ingente – basata sulla constatazione di sprechi e pratiche non sostenibili. E anche in questo caso alla base di tutto c’è  sempre una cosa sola: la conoscenza.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-5461440152413008420?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/5461440152413008420/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=5461440152413008420&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/5461440152413008420'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/5461440152413008420'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2011/12/abbattere-gli-sprechi-per-combattere-la.html' title='Abbattere gli sprechi per combattere la crisi (Innovare, dicembre 2011)'/><author><name>Andrea Mameli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08858907065175946731</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K8aa26UngiU/TG8m9wAv-5I/AAAAAAAAC_0/Gn-_8Hz1Udc/S220/reycoast.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-agKrrgr7Vtk/Tv8uzCQbURI/AAAAAAAAFYk/1PXMLY_8RzI/s72-c/innovare.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462532.post-7577991332371794711</id><published>2011-12-31T00:04:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-12-31T00:05:21.391+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bolotana'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='resti'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='transumanza'/><title type='text'>Resti sostenibili</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ANVGG3huspk/Tv4_pwlQZXI/AAAAAAAAFXo/b8KqL5LQk6E/s1600/resti.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

Specie se si vive in città. Così, quando Sergio mi ha proposto di fargli compagnia nella transumanza invernale non ho esitato un istante. E sinceramente sono convinto che ne valeva la pena: è stata una passeggiata piacevole, in parte sull'asfalto e in parte lungo le antiche strade per i carri, &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n0AFkBvh588/Tv4yDSaFY8I/AAAAAAAAFWg/Q9aQOzYDHgo/s1600/strada.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n0AFkBvh588/Tv4yDSaFY8I/AAAAAAAAFWg/Q9aQOzYDHgo/s400/strada.jpg" border="0" alt="bovini strada transumanza bolotana 30 dicembre 2011" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692042011105125314" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; che consiglierei a chiunque. Specie a quelle persone che hanno sempre fretta, che non rispettano le file, che non accettano che si possa andar piano. Dalla partenza in montagna fino a quando si attraversa il centro abitato di &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolotana"&gt;Bolotana&lt;/a&gt; questa esperienza a mio avviso insegna molto. Insegna in particolare che il modo frettoloso di vivere questo tipo di esperienze se vendute chiuse in barattolo al turista compulsivo &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FeliP7-7MCE/Tv40gHPVvkI/AAAAAAAAFWs/Py5bOZw8NiI/s1600/bosco.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 338px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FeliP7-7MCE/Tv40gHPVvkI/AAAAAAAAFWs/Py5bOZw8NiI/s400/bosco.jpg" border="0" alt="nel bosco" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692044705346731586" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; manca di una dimensione: quella del vivere le cose ai ritmi adeguati. Ma anche il covare platonici entusiasmi per la vita agreste non ha senso, senza averne prima provato i rumori (campanacci e zoccoli sono la vera colonna sonora), gli odori (frutto della digestione dei bovini), i colori (della vegetazione, del cielo, delle strade e degli stessi animali), i tempi (stare al passo dei bovini è un'esperienza nell'esperienza), i gesti e le voci degli accompagnatori  &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yomR6ZtvQJU/Tv43G0gLdyI/AAAAAAAAFXE/a_08KATwJdg/s1600/attraversobolotana.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 246px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yomR6ZtvQJU/Tv43G0gLdyI/AAAAAAAAFXE/a_08KATwJdg/s400/attraversobolotana.jpg" border="0" alt="attraverso Bolotana" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692047569355241250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (nelle voci si può scoprire una ritmica e un timbro che sono essi stessi manifestazione di cultura), le reazioni degli altri (da quelle cordiali e misurate degli incontri che si fanno in campagna fino alla frenesia degli automobilisti che vedono gli animali solo come un inutile freno). Davvero, per chi ha sempre troppa fretta direi proprio che una bella transumanza potrebbe insegnare molto. Suggerisco di scegliere una mucca, quella più indietro di tutte per esempio, concentrarsi sulle zampe. Il lento incedere, il modo di superare gli ostacoli non privo di eleganza, la tenuta degli zoccoli anche sulle pietre bagnate. Siamo partiti stamattina alle 9 e 30, dal pascolo a mille metri di quota, con 3 gradi centigradi e una pioggerellina leggera. Siamo arrivati a destinazione alle 14 e 30, a quota quattrocento, con 8 gradi, maestrale forte, pioggia fitta. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zPo_Zr4Aupg/Tv8QFXi8XvI/AAAAAAAAFYY/88L8ODShtTc/s1600/discesa%2Bfinale%2BBolotana.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zPo_Zr4Aupg/Tv8QFXi8XvI/AAAAAAAAFYY/88L8ODShtTc/s400/discesa%2Bfinale%2BBolotana.jpg" border="0" alt="Bolotana" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692286138425564914" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  Anche i bambini che hanno condiviso l'esperienza con noi (Marco, 8 anni, e Luca, 10) si sono divertiti molto e forse hanno anche imparato molto. &lt;br /&gt;Da parte sua Sergio Sulas, nonostante la - o forse proprio grazie alla - laurea in Economia (alla Bocconi di Milano) e pur avendo creato una società altamente innovativa, titolare dei diritti di brevetto internazionali di una bussola geomagnetica (&lt;a href="http://www.confindustria.it/conf/confawex.nsf/DOCST/B814CE5D2C44B1A1C125721300534816?OpenDocument"&gt;GeoMagneticSystem&lt;/a&gt;) ha pensato bene di non abbandonare l'azienda agricola di famiglia e anzi la sta curando con grande passione. Una scelta che secondo me dimostra grande dignità e intelligenza. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ulYpIUqRy0U/TwDEfVahI8I/AAAAAAAAFZ4/ZARneQ1IF6o/s1600/bolotanafine.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 356px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ulYpIUqRy0U/TwDEfVahI8I/AAAAAAAAFZ4/ZARneQ1IF6o/s400/bolotanafine.jpg" border="0" alt="fine Bolotana" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692765971599664066" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  Mi sembra doveroso condividere con altri alcune foto, i video e questo breve resoconto della transumanza di oggi.

The methodological approach of donkey-assisted programs is based on mediation, which is characterized by multidirectional relationships (patient-donkey-therapist). The donkey is an excellent facilitator in the motivation-building process, being able to stimulate the child’s development by way of active and positive forces that foster psycho-affective and psycho-cognitive development processes. Results of this study, which focused on the child’s approach to the donkey, indicate that while communicating with the animal, children rely more on physical expressions than on verbal language. Donkey-assisted rehabilitative sessions can help in identifying children’s strong points, on which motivation could be built.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OLD2AiZnXxM/TvuWUsDWUNI/AAAAAAAAFV8/pwY2DE1oeyY/s1600/cannas2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OLD2AiZnXxM/TvuWUsDWUNI/AAAAAAAAFV8/pwY2DE1oeyY/s400/cannas2.jpg" border="0" alt="Elisabetta Cannas" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691307836279509202" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Per le foto ringrazio Elisabetta Cannas (&lt;a href="www.asinopertutti.it/"&gt;Asino per tutti&lt;/a&gt;) psicologa e onoterapeuta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h5&gt;Andrea Mameli www.linguaggiomacchina.it 29 dicembre 2011&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-1615872576402213485?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/1615872576402213485/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=1615872576402213485&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/1615872576402213485'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/1615872576402213485'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2011/12/efficacia-dellonoterapia-un-articolo.html' title='Efficacia dell&apos;onoterapia: curare con gli asini.

Lo rivela uno studio condotto da ricercatori dell'Istituto Nanoscienze del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, pubblcato sulla rivista Journal of Physical Chemistry (&lt;a href="http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jp208262r"&gt;"Reversible Hydrogen Storage by Controlled Buckling of Graphene Layers - Valentina Tozzini, Vittorio Pellegrini"&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;L'idrogeno, ingrediente principale delle celle efficienti e pulite, non è facile da conservare. &lt;br /&gt;Valentina Tozzini e Vittorio Pellegrini (laboratorio Nest, Istituto Nanoscienze del CNR e Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa) hanno mostrato con simulazioni e calcoli teorici la possibilità di utilizzare il grafene, il materiale formato da un solo strato di atomi di carbonio disposti in un reticolo a nido d'ape valso il Nobel per la Fisica 2010 a Andre Geim e Konstantin Novoselov. In particolare controllando il corrugamento del grafene è possibile indurre il rilascio di idrogeno anche in condizioni ambientali normali. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xyVTj1slB8g/TvtoQNNmIwI/AAAAAAAAFVk/v0hL8AwTxpA/s1600/Img2_grafene.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 305px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xyVTj1slB8g/TvtoQNNmIwI/AAAAAAAAFVk/v0hL8AwTxpA/s320/Img2_grafene.jpg" border="0" alt="grafene CNR" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691257181746635522" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I calcoli dei ricercatori del CNR indicano che quando uno strato di grafene viene compresso lateralmente formando ondulazioni con creste e valli, l'idrogeno aderisce chimicamente alle creste delle onde. Inoltre, spostando la corrugazione, in modo analogo a un'onda che avanza, le creste si muovono e l’idrogeno si ritrova in zone concave in cui l’adesione è sfavorita. Questo meccanismo combinato con l’effetto dinamico dell’onda stessa provoca il rilascio dell’idrogeno. &lt;br /&gt;Per Valentia Tozzini: "L'idrogeno ha una forte affinità per le zone convesse del grafene e molto poca per quelle concave. Questo accade perché l'energia del legame è proporzionale alla curvatura del reticolo atomico. Una volta catturato sulle creste, invertendo la curvatura diventa possibile rilasciare l'idrogeno, un po' come se si scuotesse un tappeto di grafene impregnato di polvere-idrogeno". &lt;br /&gt;La fase successiva consisteva nella sperimentazione di strati di grafene corrugato in laboratorio e nell'inversionee delle ondulazioni in maniera controllata. "L’idea di utilizzare la curvatura del grafene per assorbire e rilasciare idrogeno è del tutto nuova - sottolinea Vittorio Pellegrini - la realizzazione di dispositivo è vincolata da molti requisiti ingegneristici che abbiamo appena cominciato a esplorare, ma le simulazioni di questo studio ci dicono che la strada è percorribile".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Reversible Hydrogen Storage by Controlled Buckling of Graphene Layers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Valentina Tozzini, Vittorio Pellegrini (NEST - Istituto Nanoscienze - CNR and Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa)&lt;br /&gt;Journal of Physical Chemistry [C, 2011, 115 (51), pp 25523–25528]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Abstract&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We propose a multilayer graphene-based device in which the storage and release of hydrogen are obtained by exploiting and controlling the corrugation of individual layers of graphene. By means of calculations based on the density-functional theory, we quantify the tunability of the hydrogen-graphene binding energies by changing the sheet out-of-plane deformation up to ±0.2 Å. We show that the binding energy can be varied by more than 2 eV, with the convex regions allocating the energetically favored hydrogen binding sites. We simulate the process of hydrogen chemisorption on corrugated graphene and release under the application of time-dependent mechanical deformations. Our results show that the corrugation of the graphene sheet and the controlled inversion of its curvature yield fast storage and release of hydrogen. Our corrugated graphene multilayer system can potentially reach gravimetric capacities up to 8 wt % and reversibly store and release hydrogen by external control of the local curvature at room conditions and with fast kinetics.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-1121102114026079507?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/1121102114026079507/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=1121102114026079507&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/1121102114026079507'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/1121102114026079507'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2011/12/grafene-per-conservare-idrogeno.html' title='Grafene per conservare idrogeno.

Ma se credete che i dischi volanti costituiscano il principale dei numerosi misteri che, come ammoniva Shakespeare nell' Amleto , si trovano tra il cielo e la terra, vi sbagliate. Ben altri sono gli eventi inspiegabili per i quali l'umanità non ha ancora risposte certe. Per contribuire a far luce in merito, tra i tanti che si dedicano agli enigmi ancora insoluti, gli Usa stanno utilizzando una parte del loro straordinarie capacità tecnologiche. L'obiettivo in questo caso è scoprire quale segreto nasconda un misterioso personaggio noto come Babbo Natale. Quando il corpulento uomo dalla barba bianca sfreccia nei cieli del pianeta Terra, dribblando aerei, Ufo e palloni aerostatici con la sua leggendaria slitta trainata da nove renne, come è possibile monitorarne l'attività?&lt;br /&gt;Troviamo la risposta a tale pressante quesito sul blog Linguaggio Macchina (&lt;a href="http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://www.linguaggiomacchina.it/&lt;/a&gt;). Nell'articolo &lt;a href="http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2011/12/come-funziona-il-santa-tracking.html"&gt;“Come funziona il Santa Tracking Operations Center”&lt;/a&gt; viene spiegato che il NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) ha tra i suoi compiti quello di ricercare le tracce della partenza di Babbo Natale. Per farlo si serve di normali radar e di un sofisticato sistema di rilevamento termico satellitare in orbita geosincrona a trentaseimila km. sopra la Terra, dotato di sensori a infrarossi. Si avvale inoltre di un sistema di telecamere e di una flottiglia di aerei da caccia che possano mettersi sulle orme di Rudolph, la renna dal naso rosso, e delle altre renne al servizio dell'oggetto volante vestito di rosso. Questa preziosa attività di ricerca si deve al colonnello Harry Shoup, che nel 1955, in seguito a un piccolo disguido, come spiegato nel blog, diede ordine di raccogliere informazioni sullo spostamento del singolare Ufo natalizio.&lt;br /&gt;Ma non è tutto. Sempre su Linguaggio Macchina, nell'articolo “&lt;a href="http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2011/12/la-scienza-di-santa-claus.html"&gt;La scienza di santa Claus&lt;/a&gt;”, ci viene messa a disposizione un'altra preziosa informazione scientifica. L'eroico personaggio, che si è assunto l'improbo compito di far felici tutti i bambini consegnando loro i desiderati regali la notte di Natale, senza dubbio utilizza tecnologie di provenienza aliena. Come potrebbe altrimenti trasportare 850.000 tonnellate di giocattoli destinati a 2 miliardi e mezzo di bambini nel mondo in meno di 32 ore? Non sarebbe poi così sorprendente se si venisse a scoprire che queste tecnologie sono le stesse sulle quali si dice lavori una equipe di scienziati nella famosa Area 51, l'area militare nel Nevada resa famosa dall'incidente di Roswell. Nel 1947 infatti in quella zona sarebbe precipitato un Ufo recuperato dai militari americani, che ne avrebbero tratto materiale di estrema rilevanza scientifica.&lt;br /&gt;Infine, sempre nell'inesauribile blog, è possibile sapere come fa Babbo Natale a svolgere la sua opera meritoria senza essere visto, e come fa a sapere se siamo stati buoni o cattivi. L'arcano è svelato da Gregory Mone, romanziere e divulgatore scientifico, autore del libro “The Truth about Santa: Wormholes, Robots, and What Really Happens on Christmas Eve”. Purtroppo ancora non ne esiste un'edizione italiana, tuttavia è possibile apprendere queste ed altre cose sul blog Gizmodo, dove Mone informa i genitori su come spiegare scientificamente il fenomeno Babbo Natale ai bambini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Ignazio Sanna&lt;br /&gt;L'Unione Sarda 28 dicembre 2011, pagina 63 (Cultura)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-4029673889625760066?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/4029673889625760066/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=4029673889625760066&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/4029673889625760066'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/4029673889625760066'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2011/12/quasi-un-ufo-le-curiose-rivelazioni-di.html' title='Quasi un Ufo: le curiose &quot;rivelazioni&quot;

&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;La missione spaziale giapponese Hayabusa&lt;/span&gt;: la sonda ha raccolto e riportato a Terra un campione di polvere di un asteroide, il cui studio ha portato a confermare che gran parte delle meteoriti ritrovate sulla Terra provengono da un unico asteroide ridotto in frammenti;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;

Scoprire che "Santa Claus" non esiste e che Babbo Natale è solo un simulacro vuoto può rappresentare una delusione insanabile. Ma per affrontare questo passo cruciale nell'itinerario che porta al mondo degli adulti il sociologo francese Gérald Bronner suggerisce "una rottura progressiva” che possa consentire al bambino di prepararsi ad affrontare la verità. &lt;br /&gt;In un articolo pubblicato nel numero di dicembre del mensile &lt;a href="http://www.lescienze.it/mente-e-cervello/2011/11/21/news/si_fa_presto_a_dire_babbo_natale-681669/"&gt;"Mente e Cervello"&lt;/a&gt; Bronner sottolinea che questa tappa della costruzione del sé non abdrebbe sottovalutata in quanto non si tratta solo di infrangere un mito dell'infanzia ma di una condizione che attiene i legami con le persone che lo circondano, che poi sono le persone che gli hanno mentito.&lt;br /&gt;Il sociologo francese evidenzia che sottovalutare l'importanza di Babbo Natale significa anche sottovalutare le capacità logiche del bambino,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.moebiusonline.eu/fuorionda/babbo_natale.shtml"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Babbo Natale, addio&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (moebiusonline.eu 26 dicembre 2011) Federico Pedrocchi, Chiara Albicocco e Ilaria Canobbio intervistano Marco Cattaneo (Mente e Cervello)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-6595367260973251181?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/6595367260973251181/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=6595367260973251181&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/6595367260973251181'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/6595367260973251181'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2011/12/quando-arriva-il-momento-di-dire-addio.html' title='Quando arriva il momento di dire addio a Babbo Natale'/><author><name>Andrea Mameli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08858907065175946731</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K8aa26UngiU/TG8m9wAv-5I/AAAAAAAAC_0/Gn-_8Hz1Udc/S220/reycoast.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bvQnh4E3n4o/TvjlK6IxJNI/AAAAAAAAFUc/GZUw4jAGH04/s72-c/mente.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17462532.post-8208275027579873808</id><published>2011-12-26T16:13:00.014+01:00</published><updated>2011-12-27T08:26:16.127+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Santa Tracking Operations Center'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Santa Claus'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Babbo Natale'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='NORAD'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Natale 2011'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Natale'/><title type='text'>Come funziona il Santa Tracking Operations Center</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Jdqw2JCw86o/TviPKUlNgUI/AAAAAAAAFSM/cWxB7c3n0EM/s1600/norad_santa_tracking.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Jdqw2JCw86o/TviPKUlNgUI/AAAAAAAAFSM/cWxB7c3n0EM/s320/norad_santa_tracking.jpg" border="0" alt="An Air Force Lt. takes a phone call from a child in Florida at the Santa Tracking Operations Center at Peterson Air Force Base near Colorado Springs, Dec. 24, 2010 file photo (Ed Andrieski/AP Photo)" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5690455536668868930" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Dal 1955 la base di difesa aerea di Colorado Spring, sede del NORAD (&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Aerospace_Defense_Command"&gt;North American Aerospace Defense Command&lt;/a&gt;), offre ai bambini di tutto il mondo un servizio di fondamentale importanza. Un servizio che esula dai normali compiti del NORAD: il personale militare risponde alle telefonate dei bambini fuori dall'orario di lavoro. &lt;br /&gt;I volontari questo Natale hanno ricevuto 102 mila telefonate, stracciando così il precedente record di 80 mila chiamate. Di tutto rispetto anche i novecentomila accessi al sito ufficiale &lt;a href="http://www.noradsanta.org/it/"&gt;noradsanta.org&lt;/a&gt; e 999 milla "mi piace" al profilo Facebook (erano 716 mila un anno fa). Infine, ma di assoluto rilievo, il dato sui "followers" a Twitter, passati dai 53 mila del 2010 sono passati agli attuali 89 mila. &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-djiBQbG-jXo/TvioHNR7lnI/AAAAAAAAFS8/MD7mw1nPnbo/s1600/noardsanta.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 121px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-djiBQbG-jXo/TvioHNR7lnI/AAAAAAAAFS8/MD7mw1nPnbo/s320/noardsanta.jpg" border="0" alt="Norad Santa" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5690482970960041586" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il NORAD adotta quattro soluzioni per rilevare gli spostamenti di Babbo Natale: radar, satelliti, Babbo-telecamere e aerei. La prima fase di rilevamento si basa sul sistema radar del NORAD (North Warning System) in 47 postazioni sul confine settentrionale del Nord America. Il 24 dicembre di ogni anno il NORAD esegue controlli radar continui alla ricerca dei segnali rivelatori della partenza di Babbo Natale dal Polo Nord.&lt;br /&gt;Non appena il radar conferma che Babbo Natale è decollato entrano in azione i satelliti per il rilevamento termico in orbita geosincrona a 36 mila km sopra la Terra, dotati di sensori a infrarossi.&lt;br /&gt;Il terzo sistema di rilevamento è costituito dalle Babbo-telecamere, in attività dal 1998, usate dal NORAD solo una volta all'anno.&lt;br /&gt;Il quarto sistema è costituito da aerei da caccia canadesi (CF-18) e statunitensi (F-15, F-16, F-22) per il controllo ravvicinato della slitta volante trainata da renne.&lt;br /&gt;I dati raccolti il 24 dicembre sono stati riversati su Google Maps e su Google Earth e resi disponibili in otto lingue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B2A9NGpG8rI/TviaZh038TI/AAAAAAAAFSk/0EMMJp6VNrM/s1600/italian.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 311px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B2A9NGpG8rI/TviaZh038TI/AAAAAAAAFSk/0EMMJp6VNrM/s400/italian.jpg" border="0" alt="NORAD Santa" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5690467892550168882" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-F2LpRLzlPlE/TviYHH9XI4I/AAAAAAAAFSY/IdDoayxTo18/s1600/santa2011.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 293px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-F2LpRLzlPlE/TviYHH9XI4I/AAAAAAAAFSY/IdDoayxTo18/s400/santa2011.jpg" border="0" alt="NORAD Santa" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5690465377345545090" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come accade per le grandi invenzioni anche il tracciamento di Babbo Natale ha avuto un'origine casuale. In occasione del Natale 1955 un grande magazzino della catena &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Sears Roebuck &amp; Co.&lt;/span&gt; pubblicò sul quotidiano locale un annuncio che incoraggiava i bambini a chiamare a Babbo Natale fornendo un numero di telefono della filiale di Colorado Springs. Ma il numero era sbagliato: i bambini chiamarono ripetutamente il comandante in capo del CONAD (&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerospace_Defense_Command"&gt;Continental Air Defense Command&lt;/a&gt;, predecessore del NORAD). Il colonnello Harry Shoup, allora Direttore delle operazioni, chiese subito ai suoi uomini di controllare i radar alla ricerca di segnali relativi allo spostamento di Babbo Natale in partenza dal Polo Nord e ai bambini che telefonavano venivano forniti precisi aggiornamenti sulla sua posizione.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ioMpfvq1zPQ/TviivtccX_I/AAAAAAAAFSw/MR0iE0OWlPg/s1600/conad1955.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 291px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ioMpfvq1zPQ/TviivtccX_I/AAAAAAAAFSw/MR0iE0OWlPg/s400/conad1955.jpg" border="0" alt="CONAD 1955" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5690477069719068658" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;- &lt;a href="http://www.lanostra-matematica.org/2011/12/norad-track-santa-sulle-tracce-di-babbo.html"&gt;Norad Track Santa.

With this latter subject I am not here concerned. The older treatises, (1) which I have consulted, have been of little or no service to me. The famous 'Conférences' (2) of the painter Le Brun, published in 1667, is the best known ancient work, and contains some good remarks. Another somewhat old essay, namely, the 'Discours,' delivered 1774-1782, by the well-known Dutch anatomist Camper, (3) can hardly be considered as having made any marked advance in the subject. The following works, on the contrary, deserve the fullest consideration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) J. Parsons, in his paper in the Appendix to the 'Philosophical Transactions' for 1746, p. 41, gives a list of forty-one old authors who have written on Expression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) 'Conférences sur l'expression des différents Caractères des Passions,' Paris, 4to, 1667. I always quote from the republication of the 'Conférences' in the edition of Lavater, by Moreau, which appeared in 1820, as given in vol. ix. p. 257.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) 'Discours par Pierre Camper sur le moyen de représenter les diverses passions,' &amp;c. 1792.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-7441883835609522420?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/7441883835609522420/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=7441883835609522420&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/7441883835609522420'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/7441883835609522420'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2011/12/expression-of-emotions-in-man-and.html' title='The expression of the emotions in man and animals.

In this note we show that the amount of VLI required to explain this result poses severe difficulties with the kinematics of the pion decay, extending its lifetime and reducing the momentum carried away by the neutrinos. We show that the OPERA experiment limits $\alpha = (v_\nu - c)/c &lt; 4 \times 10^{-6}$. We then take recourse to cosmic ray data on the spectrum of muons and neutrinos generated in the earth's atmosphere to provide a stronger bound on VLI: $(v-c)/c &lt; 10^{-12}$.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17462532-377304353489644599?l=linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/feeds/377304353489644599/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17462532&amp;postID=377304353489644599&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/377304353489644599'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17462532/posts/default/377304353489644599'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://linguaggio-macchina.blogspot.com/2011/12/in-un-articolo-pubblicato-ieri-nella.html' title='I neutrini non hanno superato i limiti di velocità.

Most of these studies have narrowly focused on single emotions, an approach that has been very useful for providing new insights about specific expressions but not for developing a broader understanding of why humans universally display and recognize distinct emotions.
