No full textIl volume è il catalogo dell'Esposizione "Milano Marittima 100. Le architetture e la città", allestita presso i Magazzini del Sale di Cervia nell'ambito delle celebrazioni per il centenario della fondazione della città giardino balneare di Milano Marittima, dal 25 ottobre al 11 novembre 2012.
L'Esposizione, a cura di Valentina Orioli con Emanuele Dari, ha documentato le vicende della nascita della città giardino e delle sue successive trasformazioni, fino ad oggi, attraverso un excursus che ha presentato sia gli strumenti urbanistici che una selezione di progetti architettonici, dedicati ai tipi più rappresentativi della città turistica: il villino, l'abitazione collettiva e l'edificio alto, le colonie di vacanza, gli alberghi, gli stabilimenti balneari e i locali notturni.
Il catalogo riflette la struttura dell'esposizione e costituisce una significativa traccia dei documenti d'archivio selezionati per questo scopo
A novel dataset on horizontal property rights in 126 jurisdictions
No full textThe law and the economy are deeply influenced by horizontal property rights, which are the rules regulating legal direct and indirect takings between private parties. To foster research on the determinants and impact of these institutions, we illustrate here a novel data set partially employed in (Dari-Mattiacci, Giuseppe, Carmine Guerriero, 2015; Dari-Mattiacci, Giuseppe, Carmine Guerriero, Zhenxing Huang, 2016) [3,4], and (Guerriero Carmine, 2016) [6] and describing the acquisition of ownership through adverse possession of personal and real property and the use of government takings to transfer real property from a private party to another private party in 126 jurisdictions. These data are based on the laws and judicial decisions prevailing in each jurisdiction between 1981 and 2011

perceived sacrifice dan perceived quality serta perceived sacrifice tidak berpengaruh
pada perceived value.Berdasarkan hasil penelitian tersebut, apabila perusahaan ingin
meningkatkan willingness to buy dari konsumen, maka dapat dilakukan dengan cara
menurunkan redemption effort dan meningkatkan perceived quality yang terbentuk
dari faktor non-harga. Pada penelitian ini potongan harga 50% tidak mempengaruhi
penurunan perceived sacrifice dan peningkatan perceived value
A review on rainfall data resolution and its role in the hydrological practice
No full textData collected by gauges represent a fundamental force in most hydrological studies. On the basis of sensor type and recording system, such records are characterized by different aggregation time, ta. In this review paper, a comprehensive rainfall database of rain gauge networks operative worldwide is used to determine the temporal evolution of ta . As a second step, issues related to the limited and heterogeneous temporal resolution of rainfall data are discussed with regard to avoiding possible errors in the analysis of historical series. Particular attention is focused on quantifying the effects on the estimation of extreme rainfalls that play a crucial role in designing hydraulic structures. To this aim, algebraic relations for improving a correct determination of extreme rainfall are also provided
Malaysian Historical Journals (1847-1966):a Bibliometric Study
No full textThis article attempts to identify and compile a list of the earliest Malaysian historical journals. The study found that the earliest historical journal is Journal of the Indian Archipelago and Eastern Asia published in 1847 by James Richardson Logan, a well-known lawyer and journalist from the Straits Settlement, British Malaya. Between 1847 till 1966, ten Malaysian historical journals were published by various history-related institutions, associations and individuals. Some of these publications are still active, while others have ceased issuing their journals
PENYELIDIKAN GAYA BERAT UNTUK PEMETAAN STRUKTUR BAWAH PERMUKAAN DI DAERAH KARANGANYAR BAGIAN BARAT
No full textABSTRAK
Struktur bawah permukaan daerah karanganyar bagian barat menarik untuk
dipelajari. Hal ini terkait banyaknya industri di Karanganyar bagian barat. Karena
jenis batuan bawah permukaan sangat mempengaruhi bangunan di atasnya.
Seperti kemampuan batuan untuk menopang bangunan dan resistansi terhadap
pergerakan tanah. Penelitian ini meliputi pemetaan struktur dalam bumi di
Karanganyar bagian barat seluas 100 km2. Pada bidang Geofisika, metode
gravitasi digunakan untuk mengetahui variasi densitas batuan di dalam bumi.
Variasi densitas di bawah permukaan tanah menyebabkan adanya perubahan gaya
berat di atas permukaan. Gaya berat juga dipengaruhi oleh perubahan topografi,
dan rotasi bumi. Faktor ini harus direduksi sebelum interpretasi data gaya berat
untuk mengetahui struktur bawah permukaan. Proses akhir data gaya berat dapat
digunakan untuk mengetahui lapisan tanah. Dari penelitian yang dilakukan
diperoleh densitas rata-rata batuan adalah 2,5 gr/cm3dengan metode Nettleton.
Pemodelan menggunakan Grav2D, diperoleh bahwa daerah penelitian densitas
batuannya 1,004 gr/cm3, 1,503 gr/cm3, 1,56 gr/cm3, 2,39 gr/cm3, serta 3,257
gr/cm3. Dari tabel densitas batuan diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa di Karanganyar
bagian barat termasuk batuan lempung, batuan pasir, batuan beku diabase.
Kata kunci : Metode Gravitasi, Gaya Berat, Densitas Batuan,
ABSTRACT
The structure of subsurface in the western Karanganyar is interesting to be
learned. It is related to the number of industrial building established in western
Karanganyar. Hence, the kind of subsurface rocks really influence the building
above. This research covers the structural mapping of deep earth in the western
Karanganyar with range 100 km2. In Geophysics, gravity method is used to find
out the variety of rocks density in the earth. Variety of density in the subsurface
causes the gravity change on the surface. Gravity is also influenced by topography
change and earth rotation. This factor must be redrawn before interpreting the data
of gravity to find out the structure of the subsurface. In the end process, gravity
data can be used to know the soil layer. From the research, it is obtained that the
average rock density scored 2.5 gr/cm3 by Nettleton methods. Model using
Grav2D acquired that the rock density is 1,004 gr/cm3, 1,503 gr/cm3, 1,56 gr/cm3,
2,39 gr/cm3, and 3,257 gr/cm3.From the table of the rock density, it can be
concluded that western Karanganyar contained clay, sandstones, and diabase.
Key words: Gravity method, Gravity, Rock density
Rents, dissipation and lost treasures: Rethinking Tullock's paradox
No full textIn this paper we revisit Tullock's paradox (Tullock, 1980) and consider a rent-seeking game in which parties face increasing returns to effort. We allow parties to randomize their strategies and give them an exit option. Given the mixed participation strategies of the parties, valuable rents may occasionally remain unexploited. We consider such a lost-treasure effect as an additional cost of rent seeking and examine how the expected value of such a lost rent varies with changes in the parameters of the problem.

The Virtuous Cycle of Property
No full textThis paper shows that formalizing private property rights has a positive effect on the propensity to respect the property of others. We study a recent large-scale land tenure reform in West Africa that was the first of its kind to be implemented as a randomized control trial. Results of a modified dictator game show that the formalization of private property rights reduced an individual's willingness to take from others' endowment. We used additional experimental measures and postexperimental survey data to rule out alternative explanations for the observed behavior that do not imply a change in preferences
Agency Problems and Organizational Costs in Slave-Run Businesses
No full textIn this paper we examine the internal economic organization of the peculium servi communis as separate business assets granted to a slave and its (external) relationships with creditors. Literary, legal and epigraphic evidence points predominantly to businesses of small or medium size, suggesting that there must have been some constraints to growth. We identify both agency problems arising within the business organization (governance problems) and agency problems arising between the business organization and its creditors (limited access to credit). We suggest that, although the praetorian remedies had a remarkable mitigating effect, agency problems operated as a constraint to the expansion of these business organizations, both in terms of individuals involved and in terms of capital invested
