    SUMMARY The paper deals with an experimental method for diamond bead life time testing. The method is based on a testing machine for each single bead by machining parameter setting (contact force and cutting speed) equivalent to diamond wire cutting real conditions. The different techniques are described purposely developed for diamond condition analysis and wear evaluation as a function of the removed material by sintered beads during white Carrara marble and Perlato di Coreno cutting. RIASSUNTO L'articolo tratta un metodo sperimentale per sottoporre a prove di durata perline diamantate. Il metodo prevede l'uso di una macchina di prova per perlina singola con impostazione di parametri di lavorazione (forza di contatto e velocità di taglio) equivalenti alle condizioni reali del taglio con filo diamantato. Vengono descritte diverse tecniche appositamente sviluppate per l'analisi dello stato dei diamanti e la quantificazione dell'usura in funzione del materiale asportato con perline sinterizzate nel taglio di un bianco di Carrara e di un perlato di Coreno

    Critical behavior of the random-anisotropy model in the strong-anisotropy limit

    No full text
    We investigate the nature of the critical behavior of the random-anisotropy Heisenberg model (RAM), which describes a magnetic system with random uniaxial single-site anisotropy, such as some amorphous alloys of rare earths and transition metals. In particular, we consider the strong-anisotropy limit (SRAM), in which the Hamiltonian can be rewritten as the one of an Ising spin-glass model with correlated bond disorder. We perform Monte Carlo simulations of the SRAM on simple cubic L^3 lattices, up to L=30, measuring correlation functions of the replica-replica overlap, which is the order parameter at a glass transition. The corresponding results show critical behavior and finite-size scaling. They provide evidence of a finite-temperature continuous transition with critical exponents ηo=0.24(4)\eta_o=-0.24(4) and νo=2.4(6)\nu_o=2.4(6). These results are close to the corresponding estimates that have been obtained in the usual Ising spin-glass model with uncorrelated bond disorder, suggesting that the two models belong to the same universality class. We also determine the leading correction-to-scaling exponent finding ω=1.0(4)\omega = 1.0(4)

    Spin-density-wave order in cuprates

    No full text
    We study the nature of the two-dimensional quantum critical point separating two phases with and without long-range spin-density-wave order, which has been recently observed in cuprate superconductors. We consider the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson Hamiltonian associated with the spin-density critical modes, perform a mean-field analysis of the phase diagram, and study the corresponding renormalization-group flow in two different perturbative schemes at five and six loops, respectively. The analysis supports the existence of a stable fixed point in the full theory whose basin of attraction includes systems with collinear spin-density-wave order, as observed in experiments. The stable fixed point is characterized by an enlarged O(4)xO(3) symmetry. The continuous transition observed in experiments is expected to belong to this universality class. The corresponding critical exponents are nu = 0.9(2) and eta = 0.15(10)

    Self-Configuring and Self-Optimising Grid Components in the GCM model and their ASSIST Implementation

    No full text
    We present the concept of adaptive super-component as a hierarchy of components to which a well-known parallel behavior is associated. The proposal of a super-component feature is part of the experience we gained in the implementation of the ASSIST environment, which allows to develop self-configuring and optimising, component-based applications following a structured and hierarchical approach. We discuss how such approach to Grid programming influenced the design of the GCM component model

    La chiesa Dives in Misericordia di Richard Meier: ideazione, realizzazione, significato

    Get PDF
    La chiesa “Dives in misericordia” sorge a Roma in località Tor Tre Teste ed è stata progettata da Richard Meier, vincitore del concorso bandito all’interno del programma diocesano “50 chiese per Roma 2000”. Tale architettura ha il particolare obiettivo di ricordare il tema fondamentale del Giubileo del 2000, il perdono divino. La costruzione è stata effettivamente terminata nel 2003 ed ha impiegato i migliori materiali che ne consentissero il perdurare dell’aspetto, investito di un grande significato simbolico. Il bianco dello speciale cemento levigato, le trasparenze del vetro, l’acciaio inossidabile delle strutture indirizzano verso i concetti di purezza, spoliazione dalle cure mondane, richiamo al divino, senza altra ornamentazione degli spazi interni se non quella dei giochi di luce. L’edificio è luogo di preghiera e di accoglienza allo stesso tempo, raccogliendo in un unico complesso la chiesa e il centro pastorale parrocchiale. La singolare forma concepita da Meier, dominata da tre porzioni di estensione crescente di superfici sferiche di raggio identico, suggerisce una lettura simbolica nella quale esse risultano tre vele che sembrano gonfiate dal vento come quelle di una barca. Ciò evoca sia l’immagine paleocristiana della comunità dei credenti o dell’anima che come una nave punta verso il faro di Cristo, ultima meta del viaggio terreno dell’uomo, sia il significato storico del pontificato di Giovanni Paolo II, rappresentando la Chiesa che traghetta il fedele verso il terzo millennio. In questo articolo si esporranno sinteticamente le fasi del concorso, della progettazione e della realizzazione della chiesa, accennando anche al contesto territoriale, e si analizzerà l’architettura dal punto di vita simbolico

    Full QCD in external chromomagnetic field

    No full text
    We investigate the deconfining phase transition in full QCD with two flavors of staggered fermions in presence of a constant abelian chromomagnetic field. We find that the deconfinement temperature decreases and eventually goes to zero by increasing the strength of the chromomagnetic field. Moreover our results suggest that the chiral transition coincides with the deconfinement transition and therefore even the chiral critical temperature depends on the applied chromomagnetic field. We also find that the chiral condensate increases with the strength of the chromomagnetic field

    From Object Calculus to Java with Passing and Extraction of Methods

    No full text
    Higher order programming is considered a good methodology for program design and specification, furthermore it is fundamental for rapid prototyping. The paper is devoted to higher order programming in Java and, more in general, in the OO programming paradigm. It extends \cite{high2} and discusses introspection to support higher order programming and compares this technique with other different, interesting approaches, including function emulation and function integration. Finally, it addresses the problem of embedding, in the OO paradigm, suitable mechanisms for method passing and method extraction: It exemplifies the use in OO programming and discusses language definition techniques

    A Coalgebraic Theory of Reactive Systems

    No full text
    In this report we study the connection between two well known models for interactive systems. Reactive Systems à la Leifer and Milner allow to derive an interactive semantics from a reduction semantics guaranteeing, under rather restrictive conditions, thecompositionality of the abstract semantics (bisimilarity). Universal Coalgebra provides a categorical framework where bisimilarity can be characterized as final semantics, i.e., as the unique morphism to the final coalgebra. Moreover, if lifting a coalgebra to a structured setting is possible, then bisimilarity is compositional with respect to the lifted structure. Here we show that for every reactive system we can build a coalgebra. Further, if bisimilarity is compositional in the reactive system, then we can lift this coalgebra to a structured coalgebra
