title: In Touch with Things: Tourist Arts and the Mediation of Maori/European Relationships
Creators: name: Cory-Pearce, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, universityof London
Year: 2005

description: This study re-evaluates theoretical approaches to the study of art forms and the mediation of social relationships in anthropology, through exploration of the emergence of tourist art forms in the Rotorua region of New Zealand, ancestral lands of the Arawa Maori people. Tourism began in Rotorua in the mid-nineteenth century, when Europeans visited to experience geothermal scenery, witness Maori social life and collect cultural artefacts as souvenirs. Returning to the scene of encounter to consider Maori/European negotiations surrounding the creation and acquisition of cultural artefacts, the research reconsiders items in museums and private collections in Britain and New Zealand as 'artefacts of encounter', to reveal ways in which acquisition was locally enabled and constrained. A case study of gifts presented to imperial authorities by Maori groups as a means of political negotiation points out the incommensurability of cross-cultural understandings of property, and the inequitable power relations that rendered such negotiations ineffectual. Throughout the twentieth century, the effects of European patronage relations upon Maori art forms are considered through comparative analyses of carved, woven and other souvenir forms and tour guiding services, concluding that whilst European patrons were frequently mean and belittling, their commissions opened up a space for a degree of innovation and experimentation not possible under customary Maori patronage. Engagements with new forms and technologies are explored through consideration of Maori adoption of photographic portraiture, popularised through the circulation of postcards since the late nineteenth century. Portraiture is compared to fibre arts, explored as a collective oeuvre formed between weavers linked through the transmission of skills passed down from the ancestral past into the present, a network which incorporates museum collections and non-Maori weavers. The concept of network is then deployed to query conventional approaches to art and material culture in anthropological thinking and museological practice.

description: Il 12 settembre 1919 Gabriele D’Annunzio, con soldati accorsi da ogni dove, occupò la città di Fiume. In disaccordo con il Trattato di Versailles e rivendicando l’italianità delle terre irredente, il poeta e condottiero si trovò a capeggiare la difesa dell’Adriatico e della Dalmazia con entusiasmo e impetuosa passione, fondando addirittura il micro-stato della “Reggenza italiana del Carnaro”, durato dall’8 settembre al 31 dicembre 1920, cui pose fine il “Natale di Sangue”. A Fiume, oltre a Giovanni Giuriati, Luigi Rizzo e Giovanni (Nino) Host Venturi, si coagularono, sia pure in un periodo di breve durata inversamente proporzionale alla portata storica effettuale, pulsioni e velleità diverse, uomini spinti da coraggio e intrepidezza, che obbedirono a un interiore dovere morale, coincidente con la difesa del patrio sentimento. Senza cedere all’epopea Gabriele D’Annunzio seppe guidare un’azione non comune e rimasta memorabile nell’immaginario collettivo nazionale, cui parteciparono volontari da tutta Italia, e la Campania non fu avara. Il progetto del “Dizionario biografico dei legionari fiumani provenienti dalla Campania”, unico nel suo genere, riporta a nuova luce un’intera generazione che nell’ideale di Patria ha creduto con generosità e gettando il cuore oltre l’ostacolo.

description: A bright optical flare was detected in the high-redshift ($z=2.133$) quasar CGRaBS J0809+5341 on 2014 April 13. The absolute magnitude of the object reached $-30.0$ during the flare, making it the brightest one (in flaring stage) among all known quasars so far. The 15 GHz flux density of CGRaBS J0809+5341 monitored in the period from 2008 to 2016 also reached its peak at the same time. To reveal any structural change possibly associated with the flare in the innermost radio structure of the quasar, we conducted a pilot very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observation of CGRaBS J0809+5341 using the European VLBI Network (EVN) at 5 GHz on 2014 November 18, about seven months after the prominent optical flare. Three epochs of follow-up KaVA (Korean VLBI Network and VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry Array) observations were carried out at 22 and 43 GHz frequencies from 2015 February 25 to June 4, with the intention of exploring a possibly emerging new radio jet component associated with the optical flare. However, these high-resolution VLBI observations revealed only the milliarcsecond-scale compact "core" that was known in the quasar from earlier VLBI images, and showed no sign of any extended jet structure. Neither the size, nor the flux density of the "core" changed considerably after the flare according to our VLBI monitoring. The results suggest that any putative radio ejecta associated with the major optical and radio flare could not yet be separated from the "core" component, or the newly-born jet was short-lived.

Publisher: name: University of Kent

description: Computer calculations do not exactly follow classical theoretical models: it is enough to think of rounding errors or of pseudo-random number generators, typically chaotic maps, simulating iid noise. The thesis aims to look at their impacts on statistical inference. We prove that the attractors of dynamical systems are stable under some kind of infinitesimal random perturbation which is a good approximation to the rounding errors. Concerning the autoregressive models, we have obtained the asymptotic bias and the limiting distribution for the Yule-Walker estimator of the autoregressive parameter under considerably weaker assumption than that of independence in the noise sequence. In the same way, we have proved consistency and asymptotic normality of the linear regression estimator for quite general chaos driven linear stochastic regression models. In particular, these suggest robustness of the corresponding classical asymptotic results and throw some light on the use of simulations in verifying these results.

description: We analyze the data on cross sections and asymmetries for the $pd (dp) \to η^3{\rm He}$ reaction close to threshold and look for bound states of the $η^3 {\rm He}$ system. Rather than parameterizing the scattering matrix, as is usually done, we develop a framework in which the $η^3 {\rm He}$ optical potential is the key ingredient, and its strength, together with some production parameters, are fitted to the available experimental data. The relationship of the scattering matrix to the optical potential is established using the Bethe-Salpeter equation and the $η^3 {\rm He}$ loop function incorporates the range of the interaction given by the empirical $^3 {\rm He}$ density. We find a local Breit Wigner form of the $η^3$He amplitude $T$ below threshold with a clear peak in $|T|^2$, which corresponds to an $η^3 {\rm He}$ binding of about 0.3 MeV and a width of about 3 MeV. By fitting the potential we can also evaluate the $η^3 {\rm He}$ scattering length, including its sign, thus resolving the ambiguity in the former analyses.

description: The efects of dietary modifcations have been assessed in people living with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with consistent benefts reported from clinical trials. However, the lived experience of making and sustaining positive dietary changes for people with RA remains unknown. The aim of this qualitative study was to explore the experiences of adults with RA and their perceptions of a 12-week telehealth-delivered dietary intervention and to assess the acceptability of the programme. Qualitative data was collected via four online focus groups with participants who had just completed a 12-week dietary intervention programme delivered through telehealth methods. Thematic analysis was used to code and summarize the identifed key themes. Twenty-one adults with RA (47.5±12.3 years, 90.5% females) were included in this qualitative study. Overarching themes included: (a) motivation to join the programme, (b) benefts of the programme, (c) factors infuencing adherence to dietary prescription, and (d) advantages and disadvantages of telehealth. The study demonstrated that a dietary intervention delivered through telehealth methods by a Registered Dietitian (RD) appears to be well-accepted and may be used to complement face-to-face care for people with RA. The identifed factors infuencing the adoption of a healthier eating pattern will aid in the development of future dietary interventions for a RA population.

description: OBJECTIVES: To assess the risk of new-onset or worsening hyperglycaemia, hypertension, weight gain and hyperlipidaemia with systemic corticosteroid therapy (CST) as reported in published randomised control trial (RCT) studies. DATA SOURCES: Literature search using MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane library, Web of Science and Scopus STUDY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Published articles on results of RCT with a systemic CST arm with numerical data presented on adverse effect (AE). PARTICIPANTS AND INTERVENTIONS: Reports of hyperglycaemia, hypertension, weight gain and hyperlipidaemia associated with systemic CST in patients or healthy volunteer's ≥17 years of age. STUDY APPRAISAL METHODS: Risk of bias tool, assessment at the level of AE and key study characteristics. RESULTS: A total of 5446 articles were screened to include 118 studies with 152 systemic CST arms (total participants=17 113 among which 8569 participants treated with CST). Pooled prevalence of hyperglycaemia in the CST arms within the studies was 10% (95% CI 7% to 14%), with the highest prevalence in respiratory illnesses at 22% (95% CI 9% to 35%). Pooled prevalence of severe hyperglycaemia, hypertension, weight gain and hyperlipidaemia within the corticosteroid arms was 5% (95% CI 2% to 9%), 6% (95% CI 4% to 8%), 13% (95% CI 8% to 18%), 8% (95% CI 4% to 17%), respectively. CST was significantly associated hyperglycaemia, hypertension and weight gain as noted in double-blinded placebo-controlled parallel-arms studies: OR of 2.13 (95% CI 1.66 to 2.72), 1.68 (95% CI 0.96 to 2.95) and 5.20 (95% CI 2.10 to 12.90), respectively. Intravenous therapy posed higher risk than oral therapy: OR of 2.39 (95% CI 1.16 to 4.91). LIMITATIONS: There was significant heterogeneity in the AE definitions and quality of AE reporting in the primary studies and patient populations in the studies. The impact of cumulative dose effect on incidental AE could not be calculated. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS OF KEY FINDINGS: Systemic CST use is associated with increased risk of metabolic AEs, which differs for each disease group and route of administration.

description: In anticipation of abundant $B^*$ data samples at high-luminosity heavy-flavor experiments in the future, the tree-dominated semileptonic $\bar{B}^*_{u,d,s} \to P \ell^- \barν_\ell$ $(P=D\,,D_s\,,π\,,K)$ decays are studied within the Standard Model. After a detailed calculation of the helicity amplitudes, the theoretical predictions for branching fraction~(decay rate), lepton spin asymmetry, forward-backward asymmetry and ratio $R_D^{\ast(L)}$ are firstly presented. It is found that the CKM-favored $\bar{B}^* \to D \ell^- \barν_\ell$ decays have relatively large branching fractions of ${\cal O}(10^{-9})$$\sim$${\cal O}(10^{-7})$, and are in the scope of running LHC and forthcoming SuperKEKB/Belle-II experiments.

description: We prove $L^{2}$ estimates and solvability for a variety of simply characteristic constant coefficient partial differential equations $P(D)u=f$. These estimates \[||u||_{L^2(D_{r})}\le C\sqrt{d_{r}d_{s}} ||f||_{_{L^2(D_{s})}}\] depend on geometric quantities - the diameters $d_{r}$ and $d_{s}$ of the regions $D_{r}$, where we estimate $u$, and $D_{s}$, the support of $f$ - rather than weights. As these geometric quantities transform simply under translations, rotations, and dilations, the corresponding estimates share the same properties. In particular, this implies that they transform appropriately under change of units, and therefore are physically meaningful. The explicit dependence on the diameters implies the correct global growth estimates. The weighted $L^{2}$ estimates first proved by Agmon in order to construct the generalized eigenfunctions for Laplacian plus potential in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, and the more general and precise Besov type estimates of Agmon and Hörmander, are all simple direct corollaries of the estimate above.

description: Using tempered Monte Carlo simulations, we study the the spin-glass phase of dense packings of Ising dipoles pointing along random axes. We consider systems of L^3 dipoles (a) placed on the sites of a simple cubic lattice with lattice constant $d$, (b) placed at the center of randomly closed packed spheres of diameter d that occupy a 64% of the volume. For both cases we find an equilibrium spin-glass phase below a temperature T_sg. We compute the spin-glass overlap parameter q and their associated correlation length xi_L. From the variation of xi_L with T and L we determine T_sg for both systems. In the spin-glass phase, we find (a) decreases algebraically with L, and (b) xi_L/L does not diverge as L increases. At very low temperatures we find comb-like distributions of q that are sample-dependent. We find that the fraction of samples with cross-overlap spikes higher than a certain value as well as the average width of the spikes are size independent quantities. All these results are consistent with a quasi-long-range order in the spin-glass phase, as found previously for very diluted dipolar systems.

description: Report Rural Attractiveness: The Post-Evaluation Update (D1.7) is the third and final edition of a series of deliverables that sought to explore the concept of rural attractiveness and how it varies between regions. The report analysed track and present changes in the definition of rural attractiveness; Explained factors that determine rural attractiveness and Offered areas that can be explored in future research.
 The study was based on the important concept of rural attractiveness and rural typology based on the literature review, the existing definition of rural attractiveness was analysed using previous deliverables, the pilot analysis of the selected policy contribution to rural attractiveness was performed (Task 4.5). Finally, recommendations were made for the development and practical implementation of awareness of rural attractiveness.
 The literature review was based on the search for new contexts that could complement existing contexts / factors. Politics, different scales, economics of individual and group behaviour, leadership, public service quality issues, symbiosis of different development approaches, cultural context, multifunctional place-based understanding, manifestations of territorial diversity in rural typologies, can complement and create new accents for existing rural attractiveness. The different rural typologies point not so much to the commonalities of rural areas as to their differences. These differences should be respected in the development of common policies for different territories.
 Existing definitions of rural areas, the assessment of the development trend make it necessary to emphasize the human scale, motivation, sustainability of ongoing processes, quality of life and wellbeing as necessary factors for understanding rural attractiveness.
 The analysis of the pilot policy showed differences in the rural attractiveness of the pillars. This raises the question of the different needs of the territories and the political instruments for addressing them, on the one hand, and the differences between the rural communities itself, on the other. Although rural attractiveness is defined the same for everyone, its understandings and contexts may be different.
 Understanding rural attractiveness in the future will depend on the ability of regions to accept and implement it.

description: We present new (3+1) dimensional numerical relativity simulations of the binary neutron star (BNS) mergers that take into account the NS spins. We consider different spin configurations, aligned or antialigned to the orbital angular momentum, for equal and unequal mass BNS and for two equations of state. All the simulations employ quasiequilibrium circular initial data in the constant rotational velocity approach, i.e. they are consistent with Einstein equations and in hydrodynamical equilibrium. We study the NS rotation effect on the energetics, the gravitational waves (GWs) and on the possible electromagnetic (EM) emission associated to dynamical mass ejecta. For dimensionless spin magnitudes of $χ\sim0.1$ we find that spin-orbit interactions and also spin-induced-quadrupole deformations affect the late-inspiral-merger dynamics. The latter is, however, dominated by finite-size effects. Spin (tidal) effects contribute to GW phase differences up to 5 (20) radians accumulated during the last eight orbits to merger. Similarly, after merger the collapse time of the remnant and the GW spectrogram are affected by the NSs rotation. Spin effects in dynamical ejecta are clearly observed in unequal mass systems in which mass ejection originates from the tidal tail of the companion. Consequently kilonovae and other EM counterparts are affected by spins. We find that spin aligned to the orbital angular momentum leads to brighter EM counterparts than antialigned spin with luminosities up to a factor of two higher.

description: Abstract: The Indian Ocean Rim (IOR) has emerged as a critical arena in global geopolitics, shaped by the strategic interests of external powers and the evolving dynamics of regional alliances. This paper explores the security dynamics of the IOR, focusing on the roles played by major external powers, including the United States, China, and India, and the influence of regional alliances and partnerships. It examines how geopolitical competition, economic integration, and security challenges are reshaping the strategic landscape of the IOR. The study analyzes key frameworks such as the Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA) and multilateral initiatives like the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad), highlighting their impact on regional stability and cooperation. Furthermore, the paper discusses the implications of external involvement in the IOR, including infrastructure investments, military presence, and strategic partnerships. By understanding these dynamics, the paper provides insights into the future trajectory of the IOR and its significance in global security and economic affairs.
Circulating Prognostic and Tissue-Specific microRNAs in Prostate Cancer

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

description: Prostate cancer has the highest incidence and second highest mortality rate for men in the United States. Even with this large disease burden, screening and treatment of prostate cancer has become controversial due to the overtreatment of indolent disease. Determining which prostate cancers will progress and which will not has become essential to patient care. Herein, microRNAs (miRs) were examined in the serum and serum extracellular vesicles (EVs) of prostate cancer patients prior to treatment as prognostic markers for disease outcome. MiRs within serum and serum EVs were determined to be significantly associated with biopsy Gleason grade group and adverse pathology, which are surrogate endpoints for aggressive disease. The goal of this work is to develop a noninvasive serum test that would classify patients with indolent cancer, which would help prevent the overtreatment of nonlethal cancer. In addition to their biomarker potential, microRNAs are a type of small noncoding RNA involved in regulating mRNA translation in cells. MicroRNA expression goes awry in prostate cancer and can have oncogenic or tumor suppressor roles in cancer progression. The microRNA profiles of patient-derived prostate epithelial and stromal cells were characterized, and the function of a specific microRNA (microRNA-199a) was further investigated in this thesis. MicroRNA-199a was highly expressed in prostate stromal cells and could be transferred to epithelial cells in a paracrine mechanism and target integrin signaling. The expression of microRNA-199a was decreased in prostate cancer compared to benign tissue, indicating a tumor suppressor function.

L’expression de la modalité par des adjectifs : une comparaison entre l’adjectif grec ancien en -ιμος et l’adjectif latin en -bilis

Year: 2020

description: In questo contributo viene proposta une comparazione tra l’aggettivo denominale greco antico in -ιμος e l’aggettivo deverbale latino in -bilis dal punto di vista della loro semantica modale. Nonostante la differente natura della base derivazionale – gli aggettivi in -ιμος sono di solito derivati da nomi d’azione, gli aggettivi in -bilis sono derivati da basi verbali –, entrambe le formazioni possono veicolare un valore modale di possibilità dinamica o di necessità deontica accanto a altri possibili valori modali. Dopo aver presentato il più recente quadro teorico di riferimento per l’interpretazione della categoria semantica della modalità, ci si interroga sull’emergere del valore modale in diacronia e se e in che termini tale valore è inerente ai due suffissi. In seguito, viene tentata una sistematizzazione dei possibili valori modali (o meno) in relazione alla natura della base derivazionale, del contesto sintattico e del referente dell’aggettivo. Viene inoltre proposto di distinguere tra un impiego morfologico (con scope interno alla formazione) e un impiego lessicale (con scope esterno alla formazione) degli aggettivi in -ιμος e in -bilis che ha delle ripercussioni anche a livello dei sensi modali: solo l’impiego lessicale sembra permettere gli impieghi deontico-valutativo e epistemico. Si conclude con le prospettive di ricerca che il confronto delle due formazioni ha aperto: se la comparazione è possibile, gli aggettivi in -bilis presentano una semantica molto più ricca di quella degli aggettivi in -ιμος. Tale differenza, che resta da approfondire, si spiega forse per via del legame più stretto delle formazioni in -bilis con la classe formale del verbo, mentre le formazioni in -ιμος derivano in prevalenza dalla più ristretta classe dei nomi d’azione.

Mesenchymal Stem Cell and Immune Cell Modulation by Nano-Scale Surface Topography of Dental Implants
Creators: name: Shirazi, Sajjad
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: Immunomodulatory function during osseointegration is today known to involve multiple immune cells including macrophages. The macrophage plays both pro-inflammatory and regenerative roles that include the production of osteoinductive factors that can influence bone formation at the implant/bone interface. While descriptive studies have examined the influence of surface topography on macrophage and osteoprogenitor/mesenchymal stem cell function in the process of osseointegration, many questions remain. The goal of this project was to further characterize the adherent macrophage and mesenchymal stem cell phenotypes as a function of different implant topographies. We hypothesized that compared to a micro/nano hybrid topography, a nanoscale topography would promote anti-inflammatory phenotype of adherent macrophages and maintain the osteoinductive phenotype of adherent mesenchymal stem cells. In the present study, we have examined the effect of a nanoscale topography versus hybrid micron/nanoscale topography on adherent macrophage and mesenchymal stem cell function both in cell culture and in vivo. Our data implicates a dynamic process that may be influenced by nano topography at multiple stages of osseointegration including initial immunomodulation, recruitment of MSCs and later osteoblastic differentiation leading to bone matrix production and mineralization. Our results suggest that a nanoscale topography favorably modulates adherent macrophage polarization toward anti-inflammatory and regenerative phenotypes and promotes the osteoinductive phenotype of adherent mesenchymal stem cells. These studies support the continued investigation of purely nanoscale implant topography to improve clinical dental implant therapy. In this thesis, we have provided a summary of the most recent advances in the understanding of immunomodulation in osseointegration and the role of titanium surface topographies for directing progenitor and immune cell fate and function to improve implant osseointegration and prevent bone loss. In the past decade, descriptions of immune cell activities at the implant/tissue interface have illuminated the potential impact of immunomodulation in osseointegration. However, detailed mechanistic studies are lacking. Further, these studies have clearly revealed the impact of implant surface topography on the reported phenotypes of adherent immune cells. Still, gaps remain in our understanding of topography-related immunomodulatory events at the implant/tissue interface. The interaction of immune cells with MSC/osteoblastic cells and how surface related events influence surrounding bone tissue physiology remain under explored.

description: Charges in conjugated polymer materials have a strong impact on the photophysics and their interaction with the primary excited state species has to be taken into account in understanding device properties. Here, we employ single-molecule spectroscopy to unravel the influence of charges on several photoluminescence (PL) observables. The charges are injected either stochastically by a photochemical process, or deterministically in a hole-injection sandwich device configuration. We find that upon charge injection, besides a blue-shift of the PL emission and a shortening of the PL lifetime due to quenching and blocking of the lowest-energy chromophores, the non-classical photon arrival time distribution of the multichromophoric chain is modified towards a more classical distribution. Surprisingly, the fidelity of photon antibunching deteriorates upon charging, whereas one would actually expect the number of chromophores to be reduced. A qualitative model is presented to explain the observed PL changes. The results are of interest to developing a microscopic understanding of the intrinsic charge-exciton quenching interaction in devices.

In latino ci sono tre classi principali di morfemi primari (nomi, verbi e aggettivi); in vedico ce ne sono solo due (nomi e radici verbali), e la funzione tipica dell’aggettivo (il modificatore che indica una qualità) è svolta da strutture di tipo participiale o da nominalizzazioni, i.e. da temi aggettivali secondariamente derivati a partire da radici verbali che indicano qualità. In questo caso, ci proponiamo di riprendere in mano i dati contenuti in quei lavori per mostrare che la linea di divisione che separa la morfologia derivazionale e il lessico è diversa in latino e in vedico e che questa diversità è il risultato di un mutamento tipologico a livello delle parti del discorso realizzatosi in latino ma non ancora in vedico (i.e. la lessicalizzazione di una classe di aggettivi “primari” a partire dagli aggettivi derivati di data IE).

La morfologia derivazionale tra analisi tradizionali e prospettive teoriche moderne
Creators: name: Dedè, Francesco
Publisher: name: ACME
Year: 2020

description: Dopo una breve panoramica dei percorsi degli studi di morfologia derivazionale all’interno della tradizione di linguistica indoeuropea, si prende in esame l’interazione tra questi studi e i modelli teorici e interpretativi sorti nell’ambito della linguistica teorica e tipologica. Si mostra come tale interazione sia proficua da un lato perché consente una migliore interpretazione dei dati offerti dalle lingue storiche, dall’altro perché accresce la consapevolezza delle caratteristiche peculiari del processo di ricostruzione della protolingua indoeuropea.

description: With reskilling being critical to organization success, the transformation of the learning function is beyond doubt going to follow suit.
 Snapshot  Learning is no longer only a retention measurement, but overtime has become key in realizing business strategy. In the future of work, L&D is about building a culture of continuous learning throughout the organization. L&D will need to undergo a significant transformation to successfully reimagine learning.
 In the current edge of constant change and scarcity, the disruptive workforce landscape requires organisations to largely restructure the way they are doing work, which has a significant impact on the capabilities that business leaders expect from their people. In addition, automation may displace 85 million jobs by 2025, whereas time now spent on tasks will be equally divided between people and machines. For these reasons, workforce roles will change and so do the skills needed to perform them.

description: Drawing upon the norm-activation model , this study joins efforts with and goes beyond the fact-checking, to explore this study examines the layperson’s motivations in misinformation correction through the lens of prosocial behavior. Factors related to the norm activation process—awareness of misinformation consequences and personal norms—are examined as potential predictors and/or mediators. Based on a national survey of 1,022 respondents, we examine the norm activation process triggered by awareness of misinformation consequences, which directly and indirectly impacts on their correction intentions. Moreover, perceived prevalence of misinformation, self efficacy and outcome efficacy pertaining to misinformation correction, are found to play multilayered roles in improving such intentions in different ways. This study provides a more comprehensive examination of the underlying mechanisms behind a layperson's willingness to engage in the misinformation correction activities.

Giustina Renier Michiel traduttrice di Shakespeare: il caso dell’«Ottello o sia il Moro di Venezia»
Creators: name: Bianchi, Laura Sofia
Publisher: name: ACME
Year: 2020

description: Questo contributo intende analizzare un tassello della ricezione di Shakespeare in Italia nel Settecento e prende in esame l’Ottello volgarizzato di Giustina Renier Michiel, prima traduzione integrale in lingua italiana della celebre tragedia shakespeariana. Dopo un rapido riferimento al contesto in cui tale iniziativa traduttoria si inserisce e ai campi d’indagine ancora aperti, lo studio si concentra sulla prima edizione del 1797 e ne esamina, con uno sguardo al contempo filologico e bibliologico, le successive nuove emissioni e il ricco corredo paratestuale, cercando di individuare, tra edizioni in lingua inglese e traduzioni francesi, alcuni degli ipotesti presenti nel dossier génétique della traduttrice. Il contributo propone infine l’analisi di un caso-studio specifico, la scena conclusiva della tragedia (Atto v, Scena ii), il quale permette di fare il punto sull’operazione culturale avviata dalla «dama veneta», sulle sue finalità, sul suo pubblico di riferimento e sulle scelte stilistiche, lessicali e sintattiche da lei effettuate, tra pedisseque riprese della versione francese di Pierre Le Tourneur e soluzioni più originali.

description: The thermonuclear rate of the 50Fe(p,gamma)51Co reaction in the Type I X-ray bursts (XRBs) temperature range has been reevaluated based on a recent precise mass measurement at CSRe lanzhou, where the proton separation energy Sp=142+/-77 keV has been determined firstly for the 51Co nucleus. Comparing to the previous theoretical predictions, the experimental Sp value has much smaller uncertainty. Based on the nuclear shell model and mirror nuclear structure information, we have calculated two sets of thermonuclear rates for the 50Fe(p,gamma)51Co reaction by utilizing the experimental Sp value. It shows that the statistical-model calculations are not ideally applicable for this reaction primarily because of the low density of low-lying excited states in 51Co. In this work, we recommend that a set of new reaction rate based on the mirror structure of 51Cr should be incorporated in the future astrophysical network calculations.

Asymmetric q-Gaussian functions to fit the Raman LO mode band in Silicon Carbide
Creators: name: Sparavigna, Amelia Carolina
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: Tsallis q-Gaussian distribution
Breit-Wigner-Fano function
Gaussian distribution
Cauchy distribution
Lorentzian distribution
Raman spectroscopy

description: Previous studies (Sparavigna, 2023) have demonstrated the Tsallis q-Gaussian functions suitable for the analysis of Raman spectra. The q-Gaussians are symmetric functions that can be used for simulating different line shapes of Raman bands. Here we use two asymmetric forms of the q-Gaussians, to fit the Raman LO mode band of Silicon Carbide. The first form considered is the generalization of the Breit-Wigner-Fano function, the other is made by two different half q-Gaussians, used for fitting the two sides of the peak.
Coryat, Pighius, Giovannini e l’«Itinerarium Italiae totius»: quattro descrizioni forestiere di Milano tra XVI e XVII secolo
Creators: name: Giani, Federico Maria
Publisher: name: ACME
Year: 2020

description: Non sono pochi i forestieri che tra il XV e XVI secolo, sarebbe a dire prima della pubblicazione de Il ritratto di Milano di Carlo Torre (1674), mandano a stampa delle descrizioni di Milano. Oltre a quella contenuta nella ben nota Relatione della città e stato di Milano di Galeazzo Gualdo Priorato (1666), numerose sono quelle incluse in repertori geo-storici variamente elaborati sotto forma di itinerari di viaggio, cosmografie o storie universali. Tuttavia queste descrizioni non sono sempre o completamente frutto di esperienze autoptiche, anzi, molto spesso si tratta del risultato di operazioni di riciclo, tali da apparire incoerenti o addirittura inattuali al momento della pubblicazione. L’imprecisione o l’inattendibilità di queste descrizioni di Milano, talvolta solamente supposte o parziali, ne ha determinato la scarsa frequentazione da parte degli storici dell’arte. Tuttavia una lettura attenta e paziente permette di recuperare, al netto di riusi ed errori, non poche informazioni sorprendentemente inedite agli studi. Le quattro descrizioni prese in considerazione in questa sede costituiscono un “saggio di ricerca”, un esempio di quel che si può scoprire sondando questo terreno paradossalmente inesplorato. Seguono, in chiusura, alcune riflessioni sulla periegetica milanese di produzione locale.
