Sustainable Development as Fundamental Pillar of Economic Governance and Public Affairs - The EU Approach and International and Domestic Perspectives
No full textThe Department of Legal Studies of the University of Bologna hosted and supported the Jean Monnet Module Project “Re-Globe – Reforming the Global Economic Governance: The EU for SDGs in International Economic Law”, coordinated by Professor Elisa Baroncini. This open-access book gathers the interdisciplinary research contributions developed in the activities of the Re-Globe Project, starting from the Re-Globe Ravenna International Conference. It provides the analysis of the Re-Globe research team and several Re-Globe guests belonging to academia and national, EU and international institutions. The publication thus offers a wide, in-depth and critical overview of the relevance the EU approach has for sustainability matters in International Economic Law, with insights into Energy, Finance and Transport Law
Dataset of mRNA levels for dopaminergic receptors, adrenoceptors and tyrosine hydroxylase in lymphocytes from subjects with clinically isolated syndromes
No full textThis data article presents a dataset of mRNA levels for dopaminergic receptors, adrenoceptors and for tyrosine hydoxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of catecholamines, in peripheral blood mononuclear cells as well as in CD4+ T effector and regulatory cells from subjects with clinically isolated syndromes (CIS), which is a first episode of neurological disturbance(s) suggestive of multiple sclerosis. CIS subjects are divided into two groups according to their eventual progression, after 12 months from CIS, to clinically established multiple sclerosis. The data reported are related to the article entitled "Dopaminergic receptors and adrenoceptors in circulating lymphocytes as putative biomarkers for the early onset and progression of multiple sclerosis" (M. Cosentino, M. Zaffaroni, M. Legnaro, R. Bombelli, L. Schembri, D. Baroncini, A. Bianchi, R. Clerici, M. Guidotti, P. Banfi, G. Bono, F. Marino, 2016
A dynamic cloud masking and filtering algorithm for MSG retrieval of land surface temperature.
No full textA dynamic cloud masking and filtering algorithm is proposed for the Land Surface Temperature (LST) retrieval from infrared imagery of geostationary satellites. The algorithm uses a modified Kalman Filter (KF) to separate the non-Gaussian error due to clouds from the reference cloud-free LST retrieval error, in order to discriminate and possibly correct for different levels of cloud contamination. This approach was intended to make better use of the important features of the new generation of geostationary satellites, such as the Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) satellites, including their high sampling frequency and the extensive real-time availability of images. The reference surface energy balance model on which the KF is based was simplified to the extent that no information other than top-of-atmosphere solar radiation was required to force the system together with LST measurements. The overall accuracy of the new algorithm, named Cloud Masking with Kalman Filter (CMKF), was tested on the LST retrievals over the Italian peninsula for a 15-day summer period from the Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI) sensor onboard the MSG satellite. As a verification dataset, analogous retrievals from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) were used. The higher spatial resolution of the MODIS LST maps and accompanying cloud masks also allowed us to analyse the results in terms of different levels of fractional cloud cover. The results of these first verification experiments show that the application of the proposed dynamic algorithm improves the LST retrieval, with respect to cloud masking with a classical static algorithm, in two different ways: first, there is a more consistent identification of cloud-free LST data; and second, and more importantly, there is a substantial increase in the quantity of final LST estimates, up to four times more in very cloudy conditions, with the use of prior model predictions at a cost of a very modest increase in the LST root mean squared error (RMSE). Moreover, the higher coefficient of determination in both cases indicates that the algorithm provides LST estimates over a wider range, as it is capable of reconstructing with some accuracy certain lower LST values under cloud cover
"Giuseppe Raimondi e gli scrittori francesi tra avanguardia e ritorno al mestiere"
No full textQuesto saggio fa emergere nuovi aspetti della figura di Giuseppe Raimondi, contribuendo a evidenziare l'importanza di questo intellettuale tutt'altro che marginale per quanto riguarda l'attività di mediatore tra la letteratura italiana e quella francese nel primo ventennio del Novecento, sottolineando l'intreccio straordinario tra avanguardia e tradizione, stagione dell'avventura e ritorno al mestiere, di cui Raimondi risulta essere uno dei più originali interpreti nel panorama culturale europeo. In particolare si analizzano qui la stagione della "bohème" bolognese tra avanguardia e tradizione, il mito del "verde paradiso" dell'avanguardia francese, il nuovo classicismo della rivista "La Raccolta" e la rilettura degli scrittori francesi in officina negli anni del personale e originale ritorno all'ordine raimondiano, pervaso di nostalgie e umori avanguardistici, portando alla luce elementi nuovi grazie a un accurato lavoro di scavo condotto nell'archivio e tra le carte inedite dello scrittore
United States – Measures Concerning the Importation, Marketing and Sale of Tuna and Tuna Products, (WT/DS381/AB/R), Appellate Body Report issued on 16 May 2012, adopted on 13 June 2012
No full textThis dispute arises out of a challenge brought by Mexico against certain legal instruments of the United States establishing the conditions for the use of a ‘dolphin-safe’ label on tuna products. Mexico identified the following legal instruments as the object of its challenge: the United States Code, Title 16, Section 1385 (the ‘Dolphin Protection Consumer Information Act’ or ‘DPCIA’); the United States Code of Federal Regulations, Title 50, Section 216.91 and Section 216.92 (the ‘implementing regulations’); and a ruling by a US federal appeals court in Earth Island Institute v. Hogarth (the ‘Hogarth ruling’, [United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, Earth Island Institute v. Hogarth, 494 F.3d 757 (9th Cir. 2007)]). Taken together, the DPCIA, the implementing regulations, and the Hogarth ruling set out the requirements for when tuna products sold in the United States may be labelled as ‘dolphin-safe’. In particular, tuna caught by ‘setting on’ dolphins is currently not eligible for a ‘dolphin-safe’ label in the United States, regardless of whether this fishing method is used inside or outside the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean (the ‘ETP’). The DPCIA and the implementing regulations also prohibit any reference to dolphins, porpoises, or marine mammals on the label of a tuna product if the tuna contained in the product does not comply with the labelling conditions spelled out in the DPCIA. However, they do not make the use of a ‘dolphin-safe’ label obligatory for the importation or sale of tuna products in the United States
Blackfan-Diamond disease with ambiguous genitalia
No full textThe Authors describe a case of Blackfan-Diamond anemia with ambiguous genitalia and other minor anomalies. They point out the elements of differential diagnosis with other precocious erythroblastopenic conditions and suppose a recessive inheritance of the disease because of family consanguinity in two generations
Relativistic Hamiltonian dynamics and few-nucleon systems
No full textWe present a preliminary calculation of the electromagnetic form factors of 3He and 3H, performed within the light-front Hamiltonian dynamics. Relativistic effects show their relevance even at the static limit, increasing at higher values of momentum transfer, as expected
