Spazi urbani, prassi sociali e istituti giuridici nella città “elettrica” di Albert Robida
Get PDF[Urban spaces, social practices and legal institutions in Albert Robida's “electric” city] The book of Albert Robida Le Vingtième Siècle, under the guise of a coming-of-age novel set within a tale of scientific anticipation, actually conceals an accurate and interesting description of the transformations induced on the city of Paris by the new electronic technologies and, above all, the impact of these on social behavior (and formations) in the urban context. The framework traced by the author thus reveals a technological progress aimed in part at improving living conditions and the progress of the person, but within a general context in which the economic powers seem to be the real directors, profiting widely from the transformations induced by technology
Creatività urbana e spazio pubblico: il caso del Leoncavallo
Get PDF[Urban Creativity and public space: the case of Leoncavallo] According to the formulation developed by INWARD National Observatory on Urban Creativity, the expression “urban creativity” tends to bring together the distinct visual cultures of graffiti writing, street art, and new muralism, based on similar traits and specific characteristics. Each of the three cultures was born, matured, and continues its regeneration related to public urban space. Therefore, the complex set of urban creativity generates diversified contents and affects the communities that inhabit, frequent, and pass through urban space. All this is within a capacious and varied legal framework, which is nowadays pushed to question itself about the many particularities phenomenon expresses and requires. The article wishes to exemplify the particular case of Leoncavallo - Self-Managed Public Space in Milan, one of the most important social centers in the country which preserves in its underground area, the Dauntaun, a precious stratification of the first Italian street art

Mottetti sacri nella Milano del secolo XVIII
Get PDFNella seconda metà del Settecento nelle chiese di Milano si cristallizza una prassi liturgico-musicale che vede nel mottetto sacro il suggello di uno dei momenti più esaltanti della storia della musica sacra milanese d’età moderna. La stabilità politica ed economica propizia un momento di straordinaria fioritura artistica che si riverbera, nelle chiese, anche nell’allestimento di frequentissime funzioni decorate dall’intervento delle cappelle musicali e dei musici più acclamati. Inserendosi nel solco di una tradizione plurisecolare, alla metà del Settecento il mottettosacro giunge a piena maturazione e si manifesta quale tratto distintivo della sensibilità coeva in virtù dell’adozione del linguaggio musicale più contemporaneo edefficace che si riverbera tanto nella componente testuale quanto in quella stilistica nei soggetti adottati: dauna parte i mottetti di beata contemplazione angelica (fra i quali spicca il mozartiano Exultate, jubilate), e dall’altra quelli in tempesta. Il presente saggio segue lo sviluppo del mottettosacro a Milano dalla metà del secolo XVIII sino alla naturale estinzione negli anni della Restaurazione
Micro-CT Image Dataset of Cement–EPS Composites Collected in the CEPSCAN Project
No full textThis repository contains the dataset produced within the project “CT Scanning for Optimizing Cement–EPS Insulation Material Performances” (CEPSCAN), conducted at the DMEX laboratory of the Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour (UPPA). The research aimed to enhance the performance of an insulation material commonly used in the construction sector, composed of a cementitious matrix and expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads of a few millimeters in diameter, by analyzing CT scans of multiple test specimens. The dataset includes both high- and low-resolution tomographic images acquired in static conditions to investigate different features of the samples, as well as scans performed under external mechanical loading
La Brugnola e la Chiavennasca Bianca: indagine storica, agronomica ed economica finalizzata alla valorizzazione dei vitigni storici valtellinesi
Get PDFIl seguente lavoro ha come principale obiettivo quello di strutturare un’indagine che esamini integralmente i fattori agronomici ed economici necessari per una reintroduzione razionale di due varietà storicamente presenti in Valtellina, la Brugnola e la Chiavennasca Bianca, nell’areale della provincia di Sondrio, delineando anche l’attuabilità di integrare le suddette varietà nelle denominazioni di qualità esistenti. Attraverso un’approfondita ricerca storiografica e bibliografica, che ha coperto il periodo dal 1700 al 1950 compresi, è stata validata l’appartenenza territoriale e storica dei due vitigni, motivando le ragioni politiche e sociali dietro lo sviluppo e il successivo calo della loro coltivazione. L’analisi genetica tramite microsatelliti (SSR) di due biotipi modello, Brugnola 8 e Brugnola 1 vera Nello, considerati appartenenti alla stessa popolazione, ha accertato la loro identità genetica, confermando l’appartenenza dell’individuo iscritto al Registro Nazionale di Vite alla cultivar Brugnola. A ciò si aggiunge un’analisi dell’epoca di germogliamento dei due vitigni, volta a confermare il ritardo della Brugnola rispetto alla Chiavennasca (ecotipo locale di Nebbiolo). Ciò apre la possibilità di sfruttare agronomicamente la difformità fenologica fra i due vitigni nei nuovi areali viticoli provinciali, soprattutto nelle fasce altimetriche più basse, come misura di protezione dalle gelate tardive del mese di aprile. Per la Brugnola sono state condotte anche considerazioni economiche volte ad una possibile valorizzazione tramite il suo consumo fresco
Consumer Response to Wine Quality at Different Alcohol Levels and the Acceptance and Barriers to Alcohol-Free Wine
No full textThis dataset shows the consumer response to wine quality at different ethanol levels and the acceptance and barriers to alcohol-free wine. The response shows that consumers were able to differentiate wine samples based on alcohol content. Additionally, overall quality scores significantly declined with decreasing alcohol content, and alcohol-free wine received the lowest score. Safety, health or wellness benefits, and the desire to avoid alcohol emerged as the primary motivations for consuming alcohol-free wine. In contrast, sensory shortcomings, higher costs, and limited availability were identified as key barriers to the adoption of alcohol-free wine. These results provide strategic insights to strengthen the positioning of alcohol-free wines in a competitive beverage market
Raw Data on Propranolol in Pig Plasma
No full textThis dataset supports a study on the pharmacokinetics of propranolol in pig plasma. The study focused on the development and validation of a rapid and sensitive LC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous quantification of propranolol and its metabolite, 4-hydroxypropranolol, in pig plasma and dried blood spots (DBS). The method demonstrated excellent linearity, accuracy, and precision, and its application to a pharmacokinetic study in pigs revealed the absence of 4-hydroxypropranolol, providing new insights into propranolol metabolism in this species
Unraveling the Pathways of Tribochemical Reactions Involving the ZDDP Lubricant Additive by Machine-Learning-Informed Molecular Dynamics
Get PDFZinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) remains one of the most effective antiwear additives, yet the tribochemical mechanisms leading to its characteristic tribofilm formation have been debated for over 80 years. A molecular-level understanding of these reactions is crucial for designing environmentally friendly alternatives with comparable performance. Although experimental studies have identified the main constituents of the ZDDP tribofilm—namely FeS and a glassy Zn/Fe polyphosphate network—the mechanistic details of its formation remain incomplete. Computational simulations offer a unique means to probe these buried interface phenomena; however, density functional theory (DFT) provides the required chemical accuracy only at prohibitive computational cost, while conventional molecular dynamics (MD) lacks the necessary fidelity. To address this challenge, we developed the first Machine Learning Potential (MLP) specifically tailored for modeling ZDDP tribofilm formation. Using this MLP, we investigated film growth on Fe interfaces of varying reactivity, including Fe(110), Fe(210), Fe surfaces with asperities, and oxidized Fe. Our results reveal that the formation of linkage isomers through alkyl-chain transfer—described as S-to-O substitution within the molecule—is a key step in generating the polyphosphate networks characteristic of ZDDP-derived tribofilms. These simulations provide the first comprehensive, atomistically resolved picture of the dynamic processes governing ZDDP tribofilm formation
Reference data for prolinol-water clusters
No full textThe dataset reports experimental fits for prolinol and its hydrated complexes with one to three water molecules, obtained from broadband rotational spectra using the SPFIT/SPCAT programs. Bare prolinol adopts two low-energy conformations stabilized by an intramolecular O–H···N hydrogen bond. Upon complexation with a single water molecule, four prolinol–H₂O isomers are identified, comprising both addition and insertion structures that preserve the original conformations. For complexes with two and three water molecules, prolinol is stabilized in its highest-energy conformations by an intramolecular N–H···O hydrogen bond. These results reveal how stepwise hydration induces significant structural rearrangements and provide insights into the role of water in shaping the conformational preferences of flexible chiral molecules. Isotopologues of selected complexes, either in natural abundance or prepared under isotopic enrichment conditions, are also included
