Obstetrics, meeting the Grand Duke – Il Tirreno

GROSSETO. Tomorrow and Friday, October 2 Hotel Granduca Grosseto is hosting the conference “The obstetrics between nature and technology” organized by the Fetal Medicine, of which he is president Enrico Colosi, gynecologist Grosseto, head of the surgery of Reproductive Medicine of the ASL 9.

The conference aims to take stock of the latest techniques in the field of prenatal diagnosis.

“The new technologies are rapidly changing – explains Enrico Colosi – but at the same time increase the demands on the part of patients of paths for a birth increasingly natural covering. This conference will discuss the possibility of combining the technological evolution with the natural pregnancy. Will investigate the major developments in science in perinatal medicine: ultrasound in three or four dimensions, in utero fetal surgery, new techniques for noninvasive prenatal diagnosis; all of which so far seem science fiction, they are now available to everyone. It will, then, addressed the issue of the importance of healthy eating during pregnancy for the welfare of the mother and the unborn child. “

Always

at the conference we will discuss the various options for a childbirth safely, but where it is also ensured physiology birth event.

The conference involved professionals as speakers and experts from all over Italy.

Beginning Thursday at 9. Info: 06 30090020.

Twitter wants to go beyond the limit of 140 characters – Reuters

Twitter wants to go beyond the limit of 140 characters

On the social network is now possible to enter longer texts only service such as TwitLonger or One Shot

In August had already been eliminated the 140 character limit for direct messages

It could drop the 140-character limit on Twitter: the social network is thinking about a new product that would allow users to share tweets longer. This is what gives the site of technological information Re / Code.

In August had removed the limit for direct messages, but now the company of San Francisco is thinking about something completely different.

There are already services that allow for text longer than 140 characters as TwitLonger, which refers to a site where you can read a post that exceeds the limit set, or One Shot, which gives the opportunity to users post photos of texts. Twitter, however, is thinking about a way to get the tweet longer internally to the same social networks without relying on other services.

Among the new arrival would also be excluded from the account of the character of the links and the username mentioned in the tweet.

Digital fabrication, trends and new materials told by a … – economyup

  Denis Santachiara It is closed on September 25, in Düsseldorf, the fifth edition of Euromold , the world fair machinery and the manufacture of molds and tools for industrial production. Back from this interesting experience as Cyrcus (platform that offers design copyright produced in digital fabrication), I decided to bring my point of view on the latest international and technological innovations, just under the digital fabrication. Euromold, as the name implies, had left years ago as fair for the technologies and the materials used to build molds. E ‘has always been dedicated to the contractors in the industrial sector, both as producers and users of CNC machines CNC (machines working for removal of metals) and the chain connected (accessory manufacturers, servo-mechanisms, injection molds). The advent of machines that print additional metals such as steel, titanium and aluminum, has led to the partial replacement of the CNC machining by subtraction. This innovation has opened the door to the growing market of 3D printers that we have seen in recent years, and is used in industry for the construction of molds and pre-series aluminum and resin.

  TECHNOLOGICAL TRENDS

The coexistence between the additive and subtractive machines in recent years until this edition of Euromold last year, sold gradually gave way to machine market additive ( 3D printers). This technology was also recently announced (HBR) Harvard Business Review as a disruptive innovation that “is preparing to transform the industrial economy. Besides making it easy customization of products, its flexibility also eliminates assembly and stocks “. These are the foundations of what I call “open design” or the ease with which you can re-design the infinite products to improve the performance and intended use. The reasons of the rise of additive technology can be attributed to both the fast development of the same especially in the metals industry, and the development of computer programs that focus on these machines, such as improvements in the accuracy of the 3D scanning.

 

 Since the penultimate event could already be felt a “chain of digital fabrication” and, from this edition, they have become dominant all content related to the techniques of digital fabrication that go well beyond the specific field of industrial molds. The digital supply chain is expanding to touch the small industry, multinational companies, machine manufacturers hyper-industrial and even professional offices and the domestic market. In fact reality as Stratasys and 3D Systems have proposed product lines affordable and very high technological performance. In parallel, the little Italian and foreign manufacturers offer machines with wire dimensions from 1.000 Euro for classroom use machines to print metal or resin with a high professional quality.

The impression is that large and small producers points to a market that exceeds the hobby on one side and big business on the other.

There are new in the resolution of problems related to the press. Currently the size of the printing table allow to produce small objects or joinable. It was presented a printer that reaches a cubic meter of print area. Another innovation has been proposed by BuildTak, a printer with two extruders which they can produce two different pieces at the same time.

  THE MATERIALS

 

 

 Is shaping a new market dedicated to specific materials for printing, whether polymers or metals. Materials such as nylon, and ABS resins, currently the most widely used, have been adapted to the techniques of molding. In addition, at an experimental level, but not yet arrived in the trade shows, the carbon (Kevlar), graphene materials and shape memory (such as products that, after a stress, returning to its original shape). It remains still in development the printing of the glass, only material not yet used.

 

 

 

 The innovation that I found most interesting of all is a machine, proposed by 3D Systems, printing multiple materials and colors together and has a revolutionary feature: the materials can be molded together with the possibility to graduate the hardness and softness.
 

 

  On the left control knob to cycle a white nylon wrapped in a soft black material printed together. In the sample below you you can see a part white as bone hard and the various labeled tabs, each of which has a different elasticity desired, but all printed together

 

Can I print such as a bicycle saddle in one piece, deciding in advance the points at which it will be softer or more rigid, and by precisely defining the degree of softness of each point. Imagine a saddle that is printed together with the soft coupling mechanism to the frame that is rigid printed.

In the next installment we will discuss the most interesting companies and their products.

Press releases and contacts with the press: but they all do so? – Corriere della Sera

Dear Severgnini,

I know that these days there are more important issues to be discussed, but I wanted to ask for an explanation, a denial, a comment about something I was told right now .

Having a client to prepare press releases, I asked a dear friend who has worked as a press office, how best to bring the attention of some newspapers the novelty of this innovative small-medium enterprises, technological and in my opinion very interesting.

He told me to buy the agenda of the journalist, send the notified via email and then call. So far, having to pay to have a way to contact a news aside, everything normal. But then: “In general, in magazines you pay, but you contracted. Like … I give you the money, I publish advertising and then I do a couple of articles and two honorable mentions. “

Ok. This would be an agreement “advertorial”, which should also be reported as such in the article. But it is not what we seek. I would like to send to the press and then, if it is of interest, they are free or not to write an article on the subject.

No, he replies, amused. E ‘practice. Here are demanding that purchasing advertising space, a banner etc to give yourself space.

And the ethics? And the credibility?

I understand that advertising is necessary to prop up an editorial office. But to my knowledge, rejected a priori press, or picking the mention in an article, news or maybe ignoring the most interesting developments because unpaid goes against the purpose of journalism.

I’m putting in serious doubt each item and mention of a company or person I have ever read in the Italian press.

Tell me it is not so!

The serious newspapers do not do those things, Melanie. But not all the newspapers (and journalists) are serious.

Plastic surgery, in Italy the new generation of breast implants … – Weather Web

More technology, more secure and more efficient. I am new to Italy breast implants with ID card embedded Motiva presented during the course “World Symposium on Ergonomic Implants” which was held on Friday 25th and Saturday 26th September at Villa Bella Clinic of Salò (Brescia), in which was attended by specialists from all over the world.

“These new generation implants are the first to contain a microchip that contains an identity card which the doctor can” read “through a special scanner . This prevents the identification badge paper that, previously, is delivered to the patient because the preserve, with all the limitations that this system presented. But the news does not end there: the material used is innovative, as well as provide an aesthetically better, has also more guarantees of safety for the patient , you can see how the final result will premiere thanks a simulation in 3D “say Antonio Cella and Chiara barrels, plastic surgeons at Villa Bella.

Villa Bella was the first clinic in Italy to use the prosthesis hi tech : “For two years we use implants Motiva: we have planted about a hundred with excellent results and satisfaction on the part of patients. Today we realize most breast augmentations with these prostheses “say plastic surgeons.

Use abroad for some years, implants Motiva have obtained all approvals for the European market and have been the subject of several scientific studies that ensure security.

The new generation of breast implants has significant tools to those already on the market “The first is that they are the first and unique in the world to have an internal microchip that contains a kind of identity card implants – explain cell and barrels -. Thanks to a scanner will be possible at any time the recognition of the prosthesis from the outside and may have undergone all the necessary information, such as serial number, make, model volume and thus avoiding the label of recognition ‘. Until now, in fact, when a patient is operated breast augmentation, the doctor received a coupon ID, with all the characteristics of the implanted prosthesis, which was to preserve. “It often happens, however, that, with the passing years, the patient loses the coupon – say doctors -. Have undergone all the necessary information is however very useful both for compliance monitoring, both in case any problems arise: broke out scandal prostheses French Pip, filled in fraudulently using industrial silicone, many women had lost their documentation and had been difficult to find out years later that brand of implants the patient had in the body. Thanks to the microchip this problem is overcome. “

Another novelty is the material: the implants are filled with a especially silicone gel that has the characteristic of giving a form very natural and that, in the event of breakage of the prosthesis, remains localized without the risk of dispersion of tissues.
innovation Third, the fact of being ergonomic while being round implants: “Implants Motiva condense into a single model the positive characteristics of the two types of prosthesis usually used, the round and anatomical ones – say the surgeons of Villa Bella -. Although belonging to the category of those discussions are ergonomic, a feature that usually characterizes the anatomical implants. This means that, once inserted behind the muscle, thanks to the special gel containing, assume a natural form. At the same time do not have some “defects” typical of anatomical implants, such as rotation “.

Another new element is constituted by the fact that the new prosthesis have a coating which is more delicate and soft to the touch than traditional. One feature that has the effect to be less irritating to the body.

You can also do for the first time in Italy, a 3D simulation with these implants and see the result immediately. “Thanks to a software and a camera for the 3D simulation of the results available at Villa Bella, you can calculate and measure accurately the amount of any asymmetry. This allows the surgeon works more accurately and the patient can immediately have a concrete idea of ​​the result. “

In short, it is a safe product, which represents the future of breast implants. To confirm this, The manufacturer has implemented forms of insurance and guarantee larger than other studios . And the price is in line with that of conventional prostheses.

The journey of Narendra Modi in Silicon Valley

 

India and China

Modi met the leaders of giants of Silicon Valley in a sort of relay race with Chinese President Xi Jinping that suggests a passing of the torch (technological and economic) between the two powers, with India more open to various Facebook and Google and China on which hang allegations of cyber-espionage of the US government.

Among those handshakes with his countrymen Satya Nadella (Microsoft) and Sundar Pichai (Google), with the number one Facebook Mark Zuckerberg and Apple to Tim Cook.

California started, for some time, the rush to plant its flag, thus linking the new Internet to various brands. Zuckerberg is doing with Internet.org platform of free access that to avoid controversy on the fast track granted to its services was renamed Free Basic by Facebook. In the Q & A with the public modes, which ended with a heartfelt remembrance of the mother by the Indian president, the founder of Facebook she has avoided the subject and has given way to the objectives of the country.

Electricity rates, which discourages consumers from reform … – The Daily

->

More consumption , the less you pay. In defiance of the saving energy and continued calls on the reduction of emissions . According to environmentalists and consumers, this would be the logic underlying the reform of the electricity rates , proposed by ‘ Authority for Energy and Gas . Not only. The reform also would block the development of renewable sources in favor of fossil fuels, and increase the costs of bill electricity for the poorest families. Why associations are up in arms and the government itself, in the words of Secretary for Economic Development Simona Vicari , admits that there is a risk of an increase in disbursements “for many consumers” .

For months the Authority will work but, despite various filings, the text continues to be criticized. The goal of the Ombudsman is to update the method of calculation of electricity bills, eliminating the progressive that now allows those who consume less pay proportionally less and moving network charges and system (which are used for example to finance the promotion of renewable and “assimilated”) the variable part of the bill, that is, the amount payable on the basis of electricity transported on the network to meet customer demand, to the fixed (all other expenses regardless of consumption). In this way, the reasoning goes, those who consume more, as large families and small businesses, will have a bill lighter. To go up against one of those who consume little energy, such as single , couples and non-residents with low power consumption. It goes without saying, however, that while it is less convenient to save energy or autoprodurla, with the result of discouraging the use of renewables and energy efficiency. In addition, families but very poor can still have lower power consumption of a single well-off.

An earlier version of the reform had already been presented in February. But, after much controversy, the guarantor has decided to start a new reference on a proposal for a softer, to get to the final text by November next. “According to some participants in the consultation – says the new document – investments in energy efficiency and for their own consumption would lose part of their value and the introduction of tariff reform risk changing the economic balance of investment already made and to slow the natural evolution of the market towards technological solutions characterized by greater environmental sustainability. “

Compared to the first version, the new text provides for a more gradual measures , which would take effect between 2016 and 2018, and a shift of the burden reformulated so as not to penalize too much energy saving and consumption. Another novelty is to maintain differentiation between residents and non-residents to lessen the impact of the reform on customers in their homes of residence, although not at the expense of housing residence.

But the changes are not served to silence the critics. ADUSBEF , code , Greenpeace , Italian Solar , Kyoto Club , Legambiente and WWF continue to ask to take a step back on the progressive introduction of the principle of “ consumerism ecological “. Ie “less consumption, more saving.” For the seven associations reform is not adequate to the social, environmental, economic and productive: “Increase the cost of electricity, particularly for vulnerable groups and encourages the consumption of electricity drawn from the grid, which is still mainly produced from non-renewable sources, discouraging all forms of electricity savings, “they say.

To take the field also the chairmen of the Environment of the House and Senate, Hermes Realacci and Giuseppe Francesco Maria Marinello : it “is likely to favor a less efficient use of energy, resulting in increased emissions and bills,” in particular “for the poorest families,” he said in a joint letter to the Authority for Energy.

Objections to which the undersecretary Vicari has tried to answer during a query on the subject presented by Senator pentastellato Gianni Girotto in the Industry Committee in the Senate. “The government has asked the Authority to learn impacts of the overall proposal” and “will assess the data that will be provided, reserving the appropriate steps,” said Vicari. But admitted that “the gradual overcoming of the tariff structure can lead to an increase in certain rate components, with impact for many consumers.”
