(21) DESIGNS OF ANDREA PALLADIO

Andrea Musacchio

refinements of this equipment. There was a direct analogy with the voltage clamp approach in nerve, but now length or force became the controlled parameter in place of voltage. This approach was applied in a quantitative study of the relation between the steady force produced by an active muscle fiber and its length: Huxley showed that force is proportional to overlap between the thick and thin...

Andrea Pimentel

SIR, We previously reported an autoinflammatory disease associated with nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain containing protein 2 (NOD2) gene mutations, designated as NOD2-associated autoinflammatory disease (NAID) [1, 2]. To date, none of the studies of NOD2 mutations have demonstrated spontaneous inflammation in NOD2-associated diseases [3]. Herein we report a patient with NAID to illust...

Profile of Andrea Rinaldo.

By 1985, Andrea Rinaldo was losing interest in fluid mechanics. The newly appointed full professor of hydrodynamics at Italy’s University of Trento had excelled in studying the intricacies of eddies, vortices, and fluid flow through porous media. But Rinaldo, lacking excitement, yearned for new avenues of research, seeking, he says, his road to Damascus. As part of his quest, Rinaldo attended a...

Extensible Graphical Editors for Palladio

Palladio is an approach to design and performance prediction of software architectures. An important part of the Palladio’s tooling—the Palladio Bench— are its graphical GMF-based editors. In contrast to rudimentary tree-based editors, they enable a more intuitive creation of models even for less experienced developers. However, the maintenance of the GMFbased editors has become cumbersome beca...
