Despite the growing popularity of systemic family therapy, little is known about the way in which therapeutic change occurs. This question concerns theorists and clinicians, and can only be answered through research focused not only on the results but also on the therapeutic process. This article presents an overview of the literature regarding the path followed by published research in systemi...

Automatic shape acquisition technologies evolved rapidly in recent years, and huge mass of 3D data can be easily produced. The high accuracy of range scanning technology makes the Cultural Heritage domain one of the ideal fields of use of these devices. Given this particular application domain, two issues arise: how to visualize at interactive rates these complex data on commodity computers (bo...

In this paper a simple elaboration of the infrared spectra of heterogeneous materials is outlined. The data processing method, based on the least-squares solution of overdetermined systems, allows the semiquantitative analysis of mixtures in terms of the spectra of their components. An application of the data processing logic to a twoand threecomponents mixture is shown, but the method can be a...

Scholars in the areas of conservation of art are in need of scientific information that can be reliably used in the historical examination of works of art. Most existing methods for the analysis of the material used in works of art are based on destructive testing techniques that require the physical sampling of data. However, such methods cannot be used widely due to their destructive nature a...
