Abstract Questo articolo è un risultato parziale di una ricerca riguardante la rappresentazione di superfici complesse in geometria descrittiva. La padronanza e l’abilità nell’uso delle diverse tecniche di rappresentazione, consente di raggiungere risultati che altrimenti non sarebbero perseguibili. La Scuola di Disegno di Ingegneria, dell’Università di Palermo si è da sempre fatta promotrice della scienza della rappresentazione attraverso la sperimentazione di tecniche semplificative ed innovative della geometria descrittiva applicata all’architettura e all’ingegneria. In particolar modo, in questo lavoro, si riporta lo studio di una superficie complessa quale è l’elicoide che trova larga applicazione nell’architettura. L’elicoide è qui trattata nella rappresentazione dell’assonometria ortogonale. Il metodo proposto è basato fondamentalmente sull’applicazione indispensabile ed imprescindibile dell’omologia. Alcuni passi, qui dati per scontato, trovano riscontro nei riferimenti bibliografici. This paper presents the issue of a long research on the representation of the complex surface in descriptive geometry. The ability to use the different techniques of representation aims to achieve results that you didn’t image before. In Palermo University, at the Engineering School, the researcher involved the study on the simplify of the so elaborated way to represent the geometry and its applications in architecture buildings and engineering implants. There is just report below the application methods to represent one of the most used surfaces in the practice of buildings.

As is the case for all cross-border projects, the activities have been agreed upon and developed in partnership with the Austrian associations “Tourismusverband Lienzer Dolomiten” (Lienz- Osttirol region), “Tourismusverband Hochpustertal” (Sillian) and “Verein zur Förderung des Stadtmarktes Lienz”, and with the Bolzano partner “Centro Culturale Grand Hotel Dobbiaco”. The project is an excellent opportunity to promote typical mountain produce, in particular cheeses, in order to create a close link with the promotion of the local area, culture and tourism. There is a clear connection between, one the one hand, the tourist, hotel and catering trades and on the other, the safeguarding and promotion of typical quality produce which, in particular in mountain areas, is one of the main channels of communication with the visitor, insofar as it is representative of the identity of the people who live and work in the mountains.

  • Middle Triassic Gastropods from the Besano Formation of Monte San Giorgio, Switzerland Vittorio Pieroni1 and Heinz Furrer2*
    Pieroni and Furrer Swiss J Palaeontol (2020) 139:2 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13358-019-00201-8 Swiss Journal of Palaeontology RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Middle Triassic gastropods from the Besano Formation of Monte San Giorgio, Switzerland Vittorio Pieroni1 and Heinz Furrer2* Abstract For the frst time gastropods from the Besano Formation (Anisian/Ladinian boundary) are documented. The material was collected from three diferent outcrops at Monte San Giorgio (Southern Alps, Ticino, Switzerland). The taxa here described are Worthenia (Humiliworthenia)? af. microstriata, Frederikella cf. cancellata, ?Trachynerita sp., ?Omphalopty- cha sp. 1 and ?Omphaloptycha sp. 2. They represent the best preserved specimens of a larger collection and docu- ment the presence in this formation of the clades Vetigastropoda, Neritimorpha and Caenogastropoda that were widespread on the Alpine Triassic carbonate platforms. True benthic molluscs are very rarely documented in the Besano Formation, which is interpreted as intra-platform basin sediments deposited in usually anoxic condition. Small and juvenile gastropods could have been lived as pseudoplankton attached to foating algae or as free-swimming veliger planktotrophic larval stages. Accumulations of larval specimens suggest unfavorable living conditions with prevailing disturbance in the planktic realm or mass mortality events. However, larger gastropods more probably were washed in with sediments disturbed by slumping and turbidite currents along the basin edge or storm activity across the platform of the time equivalent Middle San Salvatore Dolomite. Keywords: Gastropods, Middle Triassic, Environment, Besano Formation, Southern Alps, Switzerland Introduction environment characterized by anoxic condition in bottom Te Middle Triassic Besano Formation (formerly called waters of an intraplatform basin (Bernasconi 1991; Schatz “Grenzbitumenzone” in most publications) is exposed 2005a).

  • UNESCO World Heritage Properties in Switzerland February 2021
    UNESCO World Heritage properties in Switzerland February 2021 www.whes.ch Welcome Dear journalists, Thank you for taking an interest in Switzerland’s World Heritage proper- ties. Indeed, these natural and cultural assets have plenty to offer: en- chanting cityscapes, unique landscapes, historic legacies and hidden treasures. Much of this heritage was left to us by our ancestors, but nature has also played its part in making the World Heritage properties an endless source of amazement. There are three natural and nine cultur- al assets in total – and as unique as each site is, they all have one thing in common: the universal value that we share with the global community. “World Heritage Experience Switzerland” (WHES) is the umbrella organisation for the tourist network of UNESCO World Heritage properties in Switzerland. We see ourselves as a driving force for a more profound and responsible form of tourism based on respect and appreciation. In this respect we aim to create added value: for visitors in the form of sustainable experiences and for the World Heritage properties in terms of their preservation and appreciation by future generations. The enclosed documentation will offer you the broadest possible insight into the diversity and unique- ness of UNESCO World Heritage. If you have any questions or suggestions, you can contact us at any time. Best regards Kaspar Schürch Managing Director WHES [email protected] Tel. +41 (0)31 544 31 17 More information: www.whes.ch Page 2 Table of contents World Heritage in Switzerland 4 Overview

  • AEOLIAN ISLANDS STROMBOLI Day One: Stromboli
    AEOLIAN ISLANDS STROMBOLI Day One: Stromboli Stromboli is the northernmost island of the archipelago and the most spectacular for its continuously active volcano. On the way, you will stop for a nice swim in the clear blue water. At sunset the lava from the volcano glowes as it makes its way down to meet the sea with a loud hiss. To watch the eruptions is especially impressive at night Enjoy the volcanic eruptions lighting up the night sky, a fiery display of nature’s incredible power, while you taste the tasteful delicacies of the chef under the stars. PANAREA Day Two/Three: Panarea Morning departure for Panarea. Panerea is tiny, compared to the other islands, but is the most picturesque with its stark white houses and brilliant yellow ginestra bushes. This island is chic and exclusive. By boat is the best way to explore its coastline and enjoy its clear waters that, together with a thriving underwater landscape make this island the best place for snorkeling and diving in the Aeolians. The island’s charm lies not only in its natural beauty but in its unspoiled character and car-free tracks. Most of the beaches are only accessible by sea, like Lisca Bianca, Basiluzzo and Spinazzola. Panerea is also called the "jet-set" island as it is crowded with young celebrities and its nightlife is particularly lively. SALINA Day Four: Salina Salina is a lush island with thick yellow gorse bushes and terraced vineyards. The island is also known for its delicious Malvasia wine, produced in both red and white varieties.
