description: The object of research is the structural lamellar graphite cast iron, where the carbon equivalent (Ceq) is in the range of (4,214-4,372) % and the carbon content (C) is in the range of (3,425-3,563) %. The aim of research is to describe the distribution of values of tensile strength of cast iron series in the factor space C–Ceq at a fixed level of Cr-Ni-Cu-Ti alloyed complex in narrow ranges. To achieve this aim, there are the next objectives. 1. Build a workable analytical description of the impact of the selected input variables on the tensile strength of cast iron. 2. Study the response surface and identify the most informative point of the factor space for further detailed investigation of the microstructure in these points. It is shown that polynomial regression equation provides forecast accuracy, exceeding the accuracy using a linear regression equation in 1,23 times. An existence of a saddle point is revealed on the basis of the canonical transformation of response surface. It is an informative indicator, which suggests that the respective values of the input variables C = 3,492 %, Ceq = 4,28 % when the content of alloying elements , form a microstructure that guarantees the value of cast iron tensile strength TS = 203 MPa. In view of the resulting confidence interval, this value with a probability of 95 % is in the range of TS = (193-213) MPa. Metallographic microstructure description in the saddle point is important and can be obtained by the development of modeling results. It is noted that there is a fundamental opportunity to improve accuracy and obtaining more precise description of the response surface – due to numerical building of D-optimal plan or artificial orthogonalization of full factorial experiment, inside the considered in this work
Percorsi progettuali di un laboratorio didattico. Hooke Park: un parco, un bosco e una scuola di architettura.

description: Defining Hooke Park is not easy: is it a park, a woodland or, as it says on the front gate, a ‘School of Architecture’? Which is the right hierachy? Which function has priority? The public space, the woodland or the university? The answer appears to be that Hooke Park is unique and represents a great opportunity because of its many functions. Every day the citizens of Hooke village walk through the park, perhaps even horse riding or cycling, together with kids playing, hunters hunting, and the Architectural Association students experimenting with contemporary architecture. This is Hooke Park: 150 hectares of woodland owned by one of the most renowned schools of architecture in Europe. How better to define it than: “a rare opportunity?”. This essay tells the story of the work of Diploma 9, a design studio looking at Hooke Park Strategy Plan, searching for a durable and self sustaining future.

description: Confronted by the more and more complex social and cultural structures of our times and the more and more varied debates on contemporary garden projects, an imperative need for research arises which would allow us to find comprehensive instruments and interpretation viewpoints for new realisations. As in ancient times, the garden continues to be a reflection of the world that bore it and at the same time contains it. By translating itself both ethically and aesthetically, with its own formalisms and the 'idea' that such a world generates. Finally it creates a work open to critical interpretation on how new relationships between man and nature and the millenary art of gardening, that stems from it, came into relation.

description: We consider a two level system with both a transversal and a longitudinal coupling to the electromagnetic field of a resonator. Using a polaron transformation, this Hamiltonian can be mapped onto a Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian with generalized field operators acting on the electromagnetic field in the resonator. In contrast to the usual ladder operators $a$ and $a^\dagger$, these operators exhibit a non-monotous coupling strength with respect to the number $n$ of photons in the resonator. Especially, there are roots of the coupling between qubit and resonator at certain photon numbers $n_0$. We show, that this effect can be exploited to generate photon-number squeezed light, characterized by a Fano factor $F \ll 1$, with a large number of photons (e.g. of the order of $10^4$).

Appunti da e per un seminario. Tra progetto d'infrastruttura e progetto urbano: il caso della tramvia di Firenze
Creators: name: Alberti, Francesco

Year: 2015

description: For twenty years we have observed all over Europe a renaissance of the tramway as a public transport system. This phenomenon can be related to the upgrades of technology and especially to the interventions of urban improvement usally carried out together with the construction of new tracks. On the contrary, in Florence, where a new tram network has been building since 2004, a traditional sectorial approach has still prevailed, unable to offer solutions to conflicting uses of the street space. Consequently citizens’ hostility against the tramway has increased. The University of Florence has attempted to reopen the discussion about the positive link between new infrastructures and urban renovation, promoting a seminar, that has been joined by town planners, transport experts, politicians and public officials. As a contribute, there was presented a proposal –both methodological and effective- in order to align the Florentine project to the quality standards achieved in other european cities.

description: The essay intend to tackle the methodological questions and the applicable techniques linked to the reading of the landscape transformations. The evaluation approach overcomes the traditional landscape readings, usually detailed, but strongly affected by the cultural formation and merely descriptive. The overcoming happens thanks to the research of coherence, logical and rationality between the analytical and the project and planning apparatus. Using a studying case it will be possible to check the efficacy of the evaluation approach, understanding the landscape transformations.

description: Una de las dificultades que afrontan las acciones indemnizatorias de daños por el cártel de fabricantes de automóviles a resultas de la resolución de la CNMC de 23 de Julio de 2015 estriba en la prueba del daño y su causación por el cártel y en su cuantificación. Las particularidades de este cártel de intercambio de información dificultan la identificación del posible perjuicio, que afectaría principalmente a los concesionarios de automóviles, sin perjuicio de que los distribuidores lo trasladasen después a los compradores de los vehículos. La prueba del nexo causal entre la infracción y el daño y su cuantificación constituyen una cuestión clave para el éxito de las pretensiones indemnizatorias de cualquier perjudicado.
 Además, en relación con las acciones de los adquirentes de vehículos nuevos de las marcas cartelizadas, el solapamiento parcial (temporal y geográfico) del cártel de fabricantes con ocho cárteles diferentes de concesionarios de la mitad marcas afectadas (que fueron descubiertos y sancionados por la CNMC en 2015 y 2016) complica la especificación de la relación de causalidad entre la infracción y el daño. En aquellos casos en que la potencial víctima pudiera haber sido afectada por ambos cárteles, la determinación del nexo causal entre el daño padecido y su causa puede presentar un obstáculo insalvable para la construcción de la pretensión indemnizatoria frente a los fabricantes
 Finalmente, el cálculo del daño indemnizable por los adquirentes de los vehículos requeriría estimar la diferencia entre los precios cartelizados y aquéllos que hubieran resultado de no haber existido el cártel en el mercado o mercados en los que ocurrió la infracción, sin que sea suficiente acudir a referencias genéricas a estimaciones del perjuicio causado por otros cárteles distintos en mercados diferentes, ni tampoco se pueda esperar que sea la CNMC la que efectúe ese cálculo.

description: The title of the book coordinated by Laura Sasso “Archivi da mostrare, Paesaggi e architetture in rete per una rete di progetti” (“Archives, Landscapes and Architecture network for a network of projects”, NdT) wants to show the close relationships between the concept of archive considered as an open space, landscape as an archive of itself, the trinomial concept archive-museum-landscape. Graphics and tri-dimensional models have shown the possibility to plan a new archive and museum network in Turin’s metropolitan area, centered on the river Po and its affluents. Places and historic architectures were identified along this fluvial system apt to host polarities that can have the characteristics of a museum, an effective active preservation tool, truly original and innovative mediums to restore territories, rich with surprising potential. The study cases, analyzed and developed in their different aspects, illustrate the concept of the museum as a container of material that documents the museum that opens to the river, floods the river itself, and the landscape that is a museum of itself.

description: Sub-virial gravitational collapse is one mechanism by which star clusters may form. Here we investigate whether this mechanism can be inferred from observations of young clusters. To address this question, we have computed SPH simulations of the initial formation and evolution of a dynamically young star cluster through cold (sub-virial) collapse, starting with an ellipsoidal, turbulently seeded distribution of gas, and forming sink particles representing (proto)stars. While the initial density distributions of the clouds do not have large initial mass concentrations, gravitational focusing due to the global morphology leads to cluster formation. We use the resulting structures to extract observable morphological and kinematic signatures for the case of sub-virial collapse. We find that the signatures of the initial conditions can be erased rapidly as the gas and stars collapse, suggesting that kinematic observations need to be made either early in cluster formation and/or at larger scales, away from the growing cluster core. Our results emphasize that a dynamically young system is inherently evolving on short timescales, so that it can be highly misleading to use current-epoch conditions to study aspects such as star formation rates as a function of local density. Our simulations serve as a starting point for further studies of collapse including other factors such as magnetic fields and stellar feedback.

Patterns of many historical and contemporary landscapes are often organized in a plot, tightly linked to water systems. Garden was born like an irrigated enclosure in the desert, to become place of soul, reflection or representation land, initiation or didactic way, or public park, always following his feeding water thrickle. The article deals with historical excursus, to analyse evolutions and transformations of water in design of gardens and landscapes, until contemporary age, by taking examples and quotations in projects, landscapings and cultural references.

description: An advantage of methods that base inference on a posterior distribution is that credible regions are readily obtained. Except in well-specified situations, however, there is no guarantee that such regions will achieve the nominal frequentist coverage probability, even approximately. To overcome this difficulty, we propose a general strategy that introduces an additional scalar tuning parameter to control the posterior spread, and we develop an algorithm that chooses this parameter so that the corresponding credible region achieves the nominal coverage probability.

description: A dynamical system framework is used to describe transport processes in plasmas embedded in a magnetic field. For periodic systems with one degree of freedom the Poincaré map provides a splitting of the phase space into regions where particles have different kinds of motion: periodic, quasi-periodic or chaotic. The boundaries of these regions are transport barriers; i.e., a trajectory cannot cross such boundaries during the whole evolution of the system. Lagrangian Coherent Structure (LCS) generalize this method to systems with the most general time dependence, splitting the phase space into regions with different qualitative behaviours. This leads to the definition of finite-time transport barriers, i.e. trajectories cannot cross the barrier for a finite amount of time. This methodology can be used to identify fast recirculating regions in the dynamical system and to characterize the transport between them.

Year: 2019

description: This study examines various factors to identify which variables have an effect on donor giving year-over-year and over a lifetime. Data spanning nine years from one Power Five institution was used in this study. The impact of economic conditions, geographic region, and athletic success was studied in relation to year-over-year giving and lifetime giving. Significance was found for economic conditions including economic growth and inflation, donors residing in the same state as the institution, and athletic success using football regular season wins and men’s basketball tournament wins. These results enable development officers to better understand, target, and engage with certain donors. While this study breaks new ground in its analysis of a variety of factors over a nine-year period, future research is encouraged to investigate the potential influence of alumni status, being a former student-athlete, and what age a donor began giving.

description: The both grandiose chains of mountains of Persia, the Alborz Mountains, which form a circle round the south shore of Caspian Sea, and the Zagres chain, along the NW-S E direction, look onto the vast Dasht-è-Kavir. Desert. A lot of impressive landscapes, civilizations and human settlements (extraordinary villages and towns) were originated along the fluvial valleys, where the snows and the waters sloped down from the mountains flow into the rivers before disappearing in the desert. The ancient Persia is still present and manifest itself in the contemporary landscapes of these remote regions where the populations are still well rooted into such a dynamical and flowing life environment. Here waters, plants and fruits provide the fundamental resources and support sedentary and semi nomad people who live together in this ‘steady and flowing realm’: the first in traditional villages, the second along the valleys. Semi nomad tribes and their animals follow their rhythmic seasonal itineraries and meet every season the sedentary people in their village sharing in peace their common steady and flowing realm. Their history is continuously becoming, weaved by the hands of each woman and by the wisdom of the whole nomad group as a complex marvellous carpet, and it is enriched by the seasonal meetings with the sedentary populations in the villages. At the present this intact wonderful condition is menaced of destruction. A big dam could be built at the end of this valley.

Particularly, we prove $L^p$- and $C^α$-estimates, and compactness of the operator, when the degree is sufficiently small. As applications, we obtain homotopy formulas for different $\overline{\partial}$-operators acting on $L^p$-spaces of forms, including the case $p=2$ if the varieties have canonical singularities. We also prove that the $\mathcal{A}$-forms introduced by Andersson-Samuelsson are $C^α$ for $α< 1$.

An introduction to comparative law and its rise in an interconnected world

definition of comparative law

description: The globalisation of the legal profession and the interrelationship of the legal world are among the significant factors behind the rise of comparative law nowadays, although multiple academic discussions remain open about it (Part I). As an academic discipline that analyses legal diversity worldwide to promote legal knowledge, legal advancement and legal harmonisation, comparative law should not be confused with other areas of law such as private international law (Part II). Thus, the object of comparative law is the study of legal phenomena in various legal environments, bearing in mind that national legal systems are unique according to their historical, political and social circumstances but at the same time shaped by shared legal traditions and thus classifiable among legal families (Part III). Although several methodologies have traditionally been observed, including the mainstream functional method, nowadays a combined methodology of different analyses and approaches is preferred to perform comprehensively comparative law (Part IV). Consequently, a holistic definition for comparative law as an academic discipline and as a legal horizon for the new generation of legal professionals is ultimately suggested in this working paper (Part V).

description: We derive a general criterion to detect entangled states in multi-partite systems based on the symmetric logarithmic derivative quantum Fisher information. This criterion is a direct consequence of the fact that separable states do not improve the accuracy upon estimating one-parameter family of quantum channels. Our result is a generalization of the previously known criterion for one-parameter unitary channel to any one-parameter quantum channel. We discuss several examples to illustrate our criterion. The proposed criterion is extended to the case of open quantum systems and we briefly discuss how to detect entangled states in the presence of decoherence.

Year: 2019

description: The purpose of this study was to identify nutrition patterns associated with two distinct presentations of childhood dental caries. The study sample comprised of 106 patients: 23 patients with early childhood caries (ECC) aged 1 to 4, 30 patients with only posterior proximal caries lesions aged 4-12, and 53 age-, gender- and payment method-matched caries-free controls. Participants were enrolled between July 2018 and March 2019 and underwent a dental examination after their guardian completed a 23-item nutrition questionnaire. Consumption frequencies of 18 dietary items were compared between cases and controls using bivariate association testing and factor analysis. Both disease subtypes, ECC and posterior proximal lesions were associated with high frequency of cariogenic liquids (e.g., fruit juice and soda). Caries-free controls reported higher frequency of cereal/granola bars in 1-4 age group and chewing gum in 4-12 age group. These results affirm the role of cariogenic liquids in childhood caries development.

According to the most recent declinations of the cultural patrimony notion a series of cultural, patrimonial and landscape infrastructures is organising following a scheme based on three major groups of actions, often overlapped and combined: actions related to cultural tourism and the attractiveness of the biggest French UNESCO’s site; actions connected with the valorisation of savoir-faire, ancient workmanships and know-how and local products (vineyards production in particular); actions associated with the high quality of live provided by the landscape and environmental context (than, more than supply a green and ecological aspect, also offers a suggestive water scenery). Heritage is taken into account as a possible factor of territorial sustainable development, through the valorisation of its different components, of identity and memorial values, as well as market ones, within an environment where river corridor concentrate multiples and, sometimes contradictories, expectations.

description: The paper presents two case-studies developed in the research Lands of the river. The case studies are characterised by a high complexity level and by the integration between the several issues in relation to the interpretation methodologies and in relation to the responses system. The Rhine river basin experience and the Blue Ribbon Network (Greater London Plan 2004) were chosen in order of their complexity and of their innovation developed in the proposals and in the instruments (methodologies and responses). The paper underlines the innovation aspects, first of all in order of the integration between the different issues of the relationships between the man and the river and their vision aimed to the sustainable development of the whole environment system. The aims of the research is to define responses systems (policies, plans and projects) in relation to the different declination of the spatial, time and context variables, based on homogeneous factors/concepts of lectures and responses (vulnerability, resilience, network and system).

description: We apply the covariant derivative expansion of the Coleman-Weinberg potential to the sfermion sector in the minimal supersymmetric standard model, matching it to the relevant dimension-6 operators in the standard model effective field theory at one-loop level. Emphasis is paid to nondegenerate large soft supersymmetry breaking mass squares, and the most general analytical Wilson coefficients are obtained for all pure bosonic dimension-6 operators. In addition to the non-logarithmic contributions, they generally have another logarithmic contributions. Various numerical results are shown, in particular the constraints in the large $X_t$ branch reproducing the $125$~GeV Higgs mass can be pushed to high values to almost completely probe the low stop mass region at the future FCC-ee experiment, even given the Higgs mass calculation uncertainty.

Reading Lips and Learning Sounds: The Effect of Visual Cue Saliency on Phonological Production in a Second-Language
Creators: name: Eisenbarth, Brent
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: While L2 production is widely understood to show traces of L1 interference and general cue availability, the role of visual cue strength on L2 production is previously unstudied. As such, this experiment compares the production of 10 L2 Italian speakers’ intervocalic /p/ - /pp/ and /k/ - /kk/ contrasts, to see if the more visible labial pair is produced more distinctly than its less visible velar counterpart. Participants read an adapted excerpt of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince and a subsequent word list. After compensating for following vowel effects within a subset, intermediate and advanced participants were found to produce more distinct labial than velar pairs; an effect most evident in advanced participants.      Furthermore, this thesis discusses a potential asymmetry between the behavior of visible and non-visible gestures produced across different places of articulation, suggesting further research into the potential influence of varying visual cue strengths in L2 production.

Our results reveal the significant growth and thickening of online regional cultures associated with the global South. We draw attention to how local cultural identity, affirmative state intervention and economic contexts shape regional cultures on the global WWW.

description: In this article we present the structure of the $F$ tests, the variance components and the approximate degrees of freedom for each of the eight possible mixed models of the strip-split plot design. We present an example to illustrate the model and compare it to more traditional settings like a three-way factorial design and a split-split plot model.

description: High temperature superconductivity in cuprates emerges out of a highly enigmatic `pseudogap' metal phase. The mechanism of high temperature superconductivity is likely encrypted in the elusive relationship between the two phases, which spectroscopically is manifested as Fermi arcs---disconnected segments of zero-energy states---collapsing into $d$-wave point nodes upon entering the superconducting phase. Here, we reproduce this distinct cuprate phenomenology in the 5$d$ transition-metal oxide Sr$_2$IrO$_4$. Using angle-resolved photoemission, we show that clean, low-temperature phase of 6-8$\%$ electron-doped Sr$_2$IrO$_4$ has gapless excitations only at four isolated points in the Brillouin zone with a predominant $d$-wave symmetry of the gap. Our work thus establishes a connection between the low-temperature $d$-wave instability and the previously reported high-temperature Fermi arcs in electron-doped Sr$_2$IrO$_4$. Although the physical origin of the $d$-wave gap remains to be understood, Sr$_2$IrO$_4$ is a first non-cuprate material to spectroscopically reproduce the complete phenomenology of the cuprates, thus offering a new material platform to investigate the relationship between the pseudogap and the $d$-wave gap.

description: The purpose of this review is to develop a better understanding of factors that influence police proactivity at the street-level. We do not know the reasons why officers make decisions nor do we have insight into their decision-making process. This review is an attempt to glean an understanding of the motivations of police officers based on the available literature to date. The one major objective for this review is to develop a mid-range theory about police officer decision-making. Additionally, we are also interested in systematically synthesizing qualitative research on this topic to complement findings from the National Academy of Science’s (NAS) Committee on Proactive Policing (see National Academies of Sciences, 2017).
Parental Acceptance of Silver Diamine Fluoride Compared to Advanced Behavior Management Techniques

description: Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is a non-surgical caries management, serving as an alternative to surgical caries management that often requires advanced behavior guidance in young children. We investigated parental acceptance of SDF and three advanced behavior management techniques.      We conducted a pre-post survey among a convenience sample of 90 parents from four different dental clinics. We collected demographic information, and parents rated the acceptability of four dental techniques after viewing a video demonstration of them, both before and after a presentation of the dental treatment outcomes associated with each technique.      Without the context of dental treatment outcomes, SDF was more acceptable than protective stabilization, general anesthesia, and conscious sedation. However, in the context of dark SDF-stained teeth, SDF treatment was less preferable than all three advanced behavior management techniques. Parents still considered SDF treatment acceptable, but the esthetics of the treatment were a detriment to overall SDF acceptability.
“Sulle strade del Po”. Dalle bonifiche dei monaci benedettini ai giorni nostri

description: The province of Mantova, in collaboration with Regione Lombardia and the reclamation and irrigation local authorities, promoted the realization of some bike and pathways of a great landscape value along the main rivers and canals in the Oltrepo mantovano area. One of those is the cycling track called “On the ways of Po river”, travelled by the author of this article in a warm afternoon of may (2006). The track curls along the flood plain landscapes and was built on the main bank of Po river. The goal of this project is to create a greenway that connects the main core areas of the provincial ecological network. The itinerary of a great landscape value integrates the last strip of nature preserved in San Colombano park, with the important historical and cultural heritage spreaded all over the Oltrepo mantovano, as the Monastery of Polirone in San Benedetto Po and the drainage units of Moglia di Sermide and Revere.

Adaptation and Aspiration: Constructing Modern Japan through Ideological Combat in Satsuma Rebellion Prints
Creators: name: Folks, Madison Alexandra
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Although past scholarship on Meiji-period prints has favored a clean evolution–from Yokohama-e to senso-e, samurai to soldier–this thesis considers two images of the Satsuma Rebellion that complicate both this historical transition and the art historical assessment of the woodblock medium. If the rebellion marked the “dress rehearsal” for imperial encroachment in Asia, I argue that woodblock prints offered mixed, preliminary reviews of Modern Japan. Between the eager curiosity of Yokohama-e and the self-exaltation of senso-e, Yoshitoshi and Shoso’s Satsuma Rebellion e-Sugoroku Game Board and Kunisada III’s War with the Western Nations mark the internal negotiation between competing notions of Japanese identity, as well as competing directions for the woodblock print – both in terms of pictorial style and social function. Through the analysis of sartorial vocabulary, technological innovation, and the pictorial stages on which these scenes play out, I explore this active negotiation staged through ink and paper.

description: We demonstrate two approaches for unbalanced interferometers as time-bin qubit analyzers for quantum communication, robust against mode distortions and polarization effects as expected from free-space quantum communication systems including wavefront deformations, path fluctuations, pointing errors, and optical elements. Despite strong spatial and temporal distortions of the optical mode of a time-bin qubit, entangled with a separate polarization qubit, we verify entanglement using the Negative Partial Transpose, with the measured visibility of up to 0.85$\pm$0.01. The robustness of the analyzers is further demonstrated for various angles of incidence up to 0.2$^{\circ}$. The output of the interferometers is coupled into multimode fiber yielding a high system throughput of 0.74. Therefore, these analyzers are suitable and efficient for quantum communication over multimode optical channels.
Convegno internazionale “Fiume, paesaggio, difesa del suolo. Superare le emergenze, cogliere le opportunità”, Firenze 10-11 maggio 2006. Presentazione, approccio, obiettivi e temi-chiave

description: The objective of the international conference is trying to consider landscape river planning a cultural, social and economic investment instead of a “loss”, project that should aim to the control of a landscape that changes but, at the same time, keeps, from an ecological and environmental point of view, harmonic forms and sustainable structures and regenerates itself on the basis of human being needs without damage nature. The necessity of floods defence becomes an opportunity for planning new landscapes, new spaces and new natural and ecologic sceneries.

Presentazione del “Manifesto del Terzo Paesaggio” di Gilles Clément, giovedì 12 Ottobre, Triennale Lab, Milano
Creators: name: Lanzoni, Chiara
Publisher: name: Ri-Vista
Year: 2015

description: “Manifeste du Tiers paysage” is the first book translated in Italian of the French landscaper Gilles Clèment, work that becomes part of his continuous research on the edge of the equilibrium between planning experience and theoretical treatment. Through the expression “Tiers paysage”, unsettled fragment of the planetary garden, Clèment indicates all the places in which man leaves to the only nature the landscape evolution, where all human activities are suspended. The presentation of the work was attended by Stefano Boeri, Pierluigi Nicolin and Filippo De Pieri, the volume trustee, and was accompanied by the underlining, from the author’s part, of some key concepts: the diversity contained in these places, refugee for species that can’t find space elsewhere, the astonishment by which we have to see and to refer to nature. These concepts sustain the theme that accompanies every chapter of the book, delicately but intensely at the same time: the man consciousness of his being part of nature. And after having done this “manifest”, man can’t help feeling responsible.

School of K-pop: Teaching a Nation Through Idol Survival Programs
Creators: name: Kweon, Grace

description: Entering its third decade, hallyu—or the sudden global spread of Korean culture—has drawn renewed attention to Korean identity. K-pop idols continue to act as the main agents of hallyu. Since 2016, many of these idols began to debut through reality TV competition shows. Often referred to as “idol survival programs,” these shows are noteworthy for their large size, sudden popularity, and audience involvement. I use one such show, Produce 101, to argue that K-pop reality TV is a transnational space in which participants learn to configure their sense of place in the globalized modern world.

description: Terre de Rivières is the outcome of a collaborative research undertaken with a EU funded project by the same name, which culminated in an international seminar held in November 2006. The workshop presents a collection of case studies on rivers and river regions each taking into account diverse aspects, including geographical, administrative and institutional variables. The case studies have been organized into three sections: Planning, Ecology and Education-Communication. This doesn’t imply, a gap between these fields, which are all - inevitably - cross-cutting in nature.
