The paper will analyse how context affects the real possibilities of building materials’ reuse and recycling. A deconstruction Case Study in Southern Italy of some big residential buildings gives the opportunity to verify the deconstruction thesis in a real context, to study alternative scenarios to assess the most advantageous one in economic and environmental terms, and to define the profiles...

Deconstruction is a post-structuralist, intellectual, and critical theory, formulated by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida in 1960s. It an approach to re-reading literary philosophical given their multiple possible meanings.

June/July 2002 • American Psychologist vites the replacement of one with the other. PDP connectionism provides a synthetic perspective on the dialectical tension created by this play of apparent opposites by centering inquiry on constructivist network principles that govern the emergence of mind from brain. Connectionism brings postmodernist constructive assumptions to bear regarding how percep...

It was recently pointed out that the physics of a single discrete gravitational extra dimension exhibits a peculiar UV/IR connection relating the UV scale to the radius of the effective extra dimension. Here we note that this non-locality is a manifestation of holography, encoding the correct scaling of the number of fundamental degrees of freedom of the UV theory. This in turn relates the Wils...

In this paper we discuss the motivation, the technology, the design and the use-model of a novel web service for quantity surveyors, aiming to exploit virtual and augmented reality methods to implement a “zero waste” model, i.e. a new design paradigm where the waste materials from demolition become resources for reconstruction. The goal of this project is to provide virtual/augmented reality to...

Background Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) by anaerobes, such as Clostridium thermocellum, which combine enzyme production, hydrolysis, and fermentation are promising alternatives to historical economic challenges of using fungal enzymes for biological conversion of lignocellulosic biomass. However, limited research has integrated CBP with real pretreated biomass, and understanding how pretrea...
