Our decisions often depend on multiple sensory experiences separated by time delays. The brain can remember these experiences and, simultaneously, estimate the timing between events. To understand the mechanisms underlying working memory and time encoding, we analyze neural activity recorded during delays in four experiments on nonhuman primates. To disambiguate potential mechanisms, we propose two analyses, namely, decoding the passage of time from neural data and computing the cumulative dimensionality of the neural trajectory over time.

A switching memory device based on functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and hexagonal copper sulfide nanocrystals (CuS), finely blended in polymethylmethacrylate matrix (PMMA) is herein presented. A two-electrode sandwich architecture has been implemented using aluminum top and bottom electrodes and a polymeric insulating layer based on PMMA/AuNPs/CuS. The device showed memory storage capabilities suitable for (Read Only Memory) ROM applications and behaves as a typical Write-Once, Read-Many times (WORM) device.

Questo saggio analizza alcune opere letterarie di scrittrici contemporanee appartenenti alla comunità degli Ebrei Baghdadi di Calcutta, la più piccola delle comunità di religione ebraica dell’India, giunta nel Subcontinente alla fine del diciottesimo secolo.

In Rome the memory was not the only service of the story but it was also indispensable for the perpetration of the juridical-sacral forms kept by the Pontifical College. Among these forms, there were those used to properly consecrate some structures that, once they became sacred - (of divine property) became part of the urban landscape of the city.

During the 6th - 4th millennia BC contacts between the Aegean and southern Italy already took place, yet, being mostly testified by broad similarities in the material culture, these still remain difficult to define.

Ancient Near Eastern state agencies that produced monumental art and architecture and crafted rare works out of luxury materials were essentially materializing their own interpretations of reality and thereby producing memories. Because elite memories were rendered into concrete forms and images, they dominated and endured. Thus, ruling bodies curated their particular memories through a range of canonical sites, monuments, and artworks, which they would have viewed as most representative of their power and legitimacy.

For many architects, who attribute to memory a fundamental role in their creative process, Rome and its multiple spatiality have been and continue to be extraordinary sources of inspiration.
Its ruins, expression of the fragment and unfinished condition, have been used as a bare architecture, pluging in a new building, or as a layer on which build up the following one. Their building systems and urban role have attracted architects from different eras.

l libro Past Forward. Chongqing, Shanghai and other Italian Urban Stories (a cura di Shaoming Lu, Anna Irene Del Monaco, Dina Nencini, Edizioni Nuova Cultura, Roma 2017) raccoglie i risultati di un lavoro di ricerca collettivo svolto nel quadro delle attività di cooperazione e di ricerca internazionale del Dottorato in Architettura e Costruzione della Sapienza Università di Roma.

Regeneration interventions of parts of the city where the new integrates or replaces the pre-existing structures, has little consideration and frequently disregard for the closely interconnected memory of places and the time factor. In reconstruction the project confronts itself with the pre-existence, the previous identity of the place for the recovery of material and immaterial heritage.
