Atlas of Liver Pathology

By: Anthony W.H. Chan,Alberto Quaglia,Beate Haugk,Alastair Burt

The liver is a complex organ due to its unique microscopic structure, intricate metabolic functions and susceptibility to a wide variety of insults, manifesting in countless histological patterns. Atlas of Liver Pathology considers both changes seen in medical liver biopsies as well as lesional biopsies when the specimen has been taken from a mass. The book starts by reviewing normal structure and its variants and the optimal approaches for the preparation of histological sections for diagnostic liver pathology. The following chapters are dedicated to developmental, metabolic, infectious, drug related, autoimmune, biliary, vascular and neoplastic disorders. Two sections on liver pathology in pregnancy and transplantation conclude the work. Macroscopic illustrations are included where appropriate. All photographs are complemented by legends describing the picture and providing relevant related information. Authored by nationally and internationally recognized pathologists, Atlas of Liver Pathology is a valuable resource that serves as a quick reference guide for the diagnosis of usual and unusual diseases.

23 European Symposium on Computer Aided Process Engineering

Design of a Generic and Flexible Data Structure for Efficient Formulation of Large Scale Network Problems

By: Alberto Quaglia,Bent Sarup,Gürkan Sin,Rafiqul Gani

The formulation of Enterprise-Wide Optimization (EWO) problems as mixed integer nonlinear programming requires collecting, consolidating and systematizing large amount of data, coming from different sources and specific to different disciplines. In this manuscript, a generic and flexible data structure for efficient formulation of enterprise-wide optimization problems is presented. Through the integration of the described data structure in our synthesis and design framework, the problem formulation workflow is automated in a software tool, reducing time and resources needed to formulate large problems, while ensuring at the same time data consistency and quality at the application stage.

Corporate Foresight

Anticipating the Future

By: Alberto F. De Toni,Roberto Siagri,Cinzia Battistella

The world changes like the patterns in a kaleidoscope: trends expand, contract, break up, melt, disintegrate and disappear, while others are formed. Change – as opposed to stasis – is our normal condition, the only certainty in our lives, hence the need to create tools that provide organizations with the means to tackle change and navigate complexity. We must accept the reality of constant change and be prepared for a heavy shift in perspective: interconnection versus separation, acceleration versus linearity and discontinuity versus continuity. Anticipating the future requires more than the traditional predictive models (forecasting) based on the forward projection of past experiences. Advanced methods use anticipation logic (foresight) and build probable scenarios taking into account weak signals, emerging trends, coexisting presents and potential paths of evolution. Corporate foresight is fundamental to interpret and lead change. The two cornerstones of foresight are organization and management. As concerns organization, the authors advocate the separation of research (oriented to the market of tomorrow) from development (oriented to the market of today), the establishment of a foresight unit and the concentration of research activities mainly on the acquisition and recombination of external know-how. As regards management, after an overview of state-of-the-art literature on forecasting methods, the authors propose the implementation of a "future coverage" methodology, which enables companies to measure and verify the consistency between trends, strategic vision and offered products. These organizational and managing tools are then tested in a case study: the Italian company Eurotech SpA, a leader in the ICT sector.

Automatic Vehicle Guidance

The Experience of the ARGO Autonomous Vehicle

By: Alberto Broggi

This book surveys the history of automatic vehicle guidance based on the processing of visual information, starting from the very first projects worldwide up to the latest developments. It also presents the ARGO prototype vehicle, developed at the University of Parma (Italy), and describes its equipment, setup, and performance. ARGO has been equipped with cameras and processing systems to drive autonomously in real traffic conditions. The complete system has been tested on public roads, during a tour in which ARGO drove itself along the Italian highway network for more than 2000 km. A detailed analysis of this trip is also included.

Guilds, Markets and Work Regulations in Italy, 16th–19th Centuries

By: Alberto Guenzi

The purpose of this volume is to provide a conspectus of current research on the history of guilds and corporations in Italy in the period from the Renaissance to the end of the 19th century. Particular aims are to examine the relationship between guilds, manufacturing, entrepreneurship, and economic development, and their impact on urban society and social welfare. The work derives from a major project set up in 1994; the results were discussed at a conference in Rome in September 1997, and formed the basis for a further presentation by Professor Carlo Poni at the 12th International Economic History Conference in Seville. The papers are grouped into three sections, dealing with the guild system in urban areas, case studies of individual guilds and conflicts, and their role in mutual aid and assistance. Specially translated for this volume, they trace for the English-speaking world a rich picture of the history of the Italian guild system in the modern era, and its movement from magnificence to decline.

Breve matrimonio di benito, e morte

Breve matrimonio di benito, e morte

By: Alberto Camì

Il fatto accadde in una classe femminile. Benito stava celiando, come spesso usava durante le lezioni, sui diversi atteggiamenti dei due sessi. Più volte aveva ripetuto “noi-maschi-noi-maschi”, quando un’alunna ironicamente insinuò: - Noi maschi? Con la naturalezza che lo distingueva, Benito si sbottonò i pantaloni, e rimase così, accanto alla cattedra, con quel bel faccione ridente come un girasole, né più né meno che si trattasse di una regola di francese scritta alla lavagna. Il romanzo racconta la storia di Benito, un uomo di mezza età sul quale pesa l’insopprimibile marchio della diversità. Il suo matrimonio tardivo è l’inutile e goffo tentativo di accedere a quella normalità dalla quale è rimasto sempre escluso. L’immagine di uomo ridicolo continuerà ad accompagnarlo fin nella tomba, nel grottesco epilogo che lo vede ancora protagonista a dispetto del suo tragico destino. La vicenda di Benito diventa per l’io-narrante l’occasione di un disincatato viaggio nella memoria. In un registro variegato e vivace, oscillante tra ironia e riferimenti letterari, l’autore ci restituisce la nitida immagine della Sicilia degli anni ’70, una società chiusa nella quale le leggi più ferree sono quelle del conformismo.
