I "peli" della Gatta Cenerentola di De Simone e del Cunto de li cunti di Basile. Una parodia dell'illustre don Benedetto Croce
No full textNel corso del presente intervento si pone l\u27attenzione sul profondo e prolifico legame letterario che intercorre tra il drammaturgo novecentesco Roberto De Simone e lo scrittore seicentesco Giovanbattista Basile. In questo senso si evidenziano tre tappe salienti. De Simone debuttò nel 1976 al Festival dei due Mondi di Spoleto con un\u27opera intitolata La gatta cenerentola chiaramente inspirata alla favola di Basile, nel 1989 pubblicò la traduzione dall\u27antico napoletano in dialetto moderno della raccolta Il Pentamerone ovvero Lo cunto de li cunti trattenimento de piccerille (Napoli, ed. Il Mattino), mentre del 2002 è la doppia riscrittura, in dialetto e in italiano, del Cunto de li cunti di Basile (Torino, Einaudi). L\u27analisi, in particolar modo, di quest\u27ultima opera permette, inoltre, di sottolineare il forte intento parodico di De Simone nei confronti di Benedetto Croce. Nell\u27anno del cinquantesimo anniversario della morte del filosofo abruzzese, De Simone decide di inserire nella propria riscrittura del Cunto di Basile il personaggio Croce, condannandolo irriverentemente a "un peteggiare involontario, ereditato dall\u27aerofagia patita prima di morire"
Development of a High Precision LYSO Polarimeter forEDM Search at COSY Storage Ring
No full textThe baryogenesis is one of the greatest unanswered questions in contemporary physics. According to Sakarov’s conditions for baryogenesis, a process must have occurred early in universe’s life, that violated the fundamental CP-symmetry and led to the dominance of matter over antimatter in our universe. However all descriptions provided by the Standard Model in terms of CP-violating processes are insufficient by several order of magnitude to explain the observed abundance of matter. There must be some larger CP violation source, the observation of which could lead to the explanation of the matter-antimatter asymmetry and to new physics beyond the SM.
A strong source of CP violation could manifest in the existence of an Electric Dipole Moment (EDM) of elementary particles. For neutral particles EDMs investigations started about 60 years ago, the approach was based on the use of magnetic traps, so far all results of EDM measurements are compatible with a vanishing EDM value.
EDM searches on charged particles like protons and deuterons cannot be based on the same approach as for neutral particles, since the application of electric fields would result in an acceleration of the particle; therefore the use of storage rings in experiments aiming to directly measure a non-vanishing EDM on charged particles has been suggested by scientific collaborations all around the world.
The ideal scenario would be an EDM-search dedicated electric storage ring to be developed on purpose to perform an EDM measurement on proton. As a first step towards a dedicated storage ring, feasibility studies on deuteron beams are performed by the JEDI (Jülich Electric Dipole Investigations) collaboration at the magnetic storage ring COSY (Cooler Synchrotron) at Forschungszentrum Jülich in Germany.
The idea is based on the manipulation of the spin of the particles in the ring by use of a particular kind of radio frequency Wien Filter which acts on particles EDM leaving their orbit unperturbed, in such

a way to obtain a beam vertical polarization build-up which is proportional to the EDM value. The polarization-induced asymmetry in beam particles elastically scattered off a target, proportional to beam polarization, is then measured via a polarimeter and it is possible to obtain a value for the EDM.
The cycles of tests that led to the development of the prototype of such a high precision polarimetry detector, made of a number of LYSO scintillator crystal modules and with a readout system based only on Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs), is the topic of the present thesis.
In chapter I the theoretical background is presented. Chapter II is dedicated to a detailed description of the main principles in the use of storage rings for EDM searches in charged particles. Chapter III is a description of the COSY facility at FZ-Jülich and in chapter IV all the results from the tests performed in the development of the LYSO polarimeter are presented in detail.The baryogenesis is one of the greatest unanswered questions in contemporary physics.

“I beg you to tell me what has become of Djamila”: The Political Mobilization of Simone de Beauvoir’s Readers During the Boupacha Affair
No full textBy Sophia Millman This is a condensed version of a Masters thesis dedicated to the political mobilization of Simone de Beauvoir’s readers. The citations from the letters were translated from French by the author. *** On June 2, 1960, the French government ordered all copies of the daily Algiers edition of Le Monde seized and destroyed to suppress the publication of Simone de Beauvoir’s article “Pour Djamila Boupacha.” Beauvoir, a self-professed “woman of letters”, not “of action[1]”, and one ..
Marketing Metrics in the Wine Retailing Industry
No full textOver the years, many companies integrated the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) tools, into their reporting activities, leading to a deep transformation of the business models and marketing strategies. This study has dual aims: first, to recognize and validate the studies on Marketing Performance Measurement (MPM) in the wine retailing industry; second, to examine the relationships among the firm’s efforts to apply marketing metrics and some characteristics of the competitive environment. To reach these research aims, data on the overall 31 wineries were collected and analyzed in three different countries. The main research tool is the structured questionnaire that considers three different marketing metrics dimensions, that is transactional, attitudinal and web customer metrics. Subsequently, by a structural equation method (PLS-PM), it will be statistically estimated the weight of marketing metrics in the wine retailing industry
Visualization of scattering angular distributions with the SAP code
No full textSAP (Scattering Angular distribution Plot) is a graphical tool developed at the University of Bologna to compute and plot Rayleigh and Compton differential cross-sections (atomic and electronic), form-factors (FFs) and incoherent scattering functions (SFs) for single elements, compounds and mixture of compounds, for monochromatic excitation in the range of 1–1000 keV. The computation of FFs and SFs may be performed in two ways: (a) by interpolating Hubbell’s data from EPDL97 library and (b) by using semi-empirical formulas as described in the text. Two kinds of normalization permit to compare the plots of different magnitudes, by imposing a similar scale. The characteristics of the code SAP are illustrated with one example
A comparative study of form and theology in the works of Flannery O'Connor and Simone Weil
No full textIn this comparative study of the form and theology of Flannery O'Connor and Simone Weil I interrogate how Weil's philosophical writings and her theology illuminate O'Connor's use of both narrative and non-fictional forms, and her Catholicism. The Introduction analyses how Weil's concept of superposed reading provides a new method of approaching both O'Connor, her writings, and O'Connor
studies, and focuses on how such apparently different women interconnect. Chapter One explores how both Weil and O'Connor attempt to write their theologies on the
souls of their readers yet are each subject to constraints imposed by form. Weil's concept of locating equilibrium between incommensurates is discussed, and her
distinctively philosophical approach to fictions and fictionality is used to investigate O'Connor's notion of prophetic fictions and the writer's role. Chapter Two assesses how both writers revivify Christian paradoxes. Weil's monstrous concept of affiiction, and O'Connor's use of the grotesque genre to jolt secular man into an
awareness of the sacred are scrutinised. Chapter Three studies how both writers consider an encounter between God and man is possible through the action of grace. My Conclusion interrogates how Weil's work can deepen our understanding of O'Connor's writings, and examines how successful O'Connor is at realising a truly
Christian literature. I conclude that despite being a writer of powerful fictions, O'Connor can not be totally successful in her mission as writer-prophet because
ultimately fiction escapes orthodoxy
A Note on Binary Strategy-Proof Social Choice Functions
No full textLet Φn be the set of the binary strategy-proof social choice functions referred to a group of n voters who are allowed to declare indifference between the alternatives. We provide a recursive way to obtain the set Φn+1 from the set Φn. Computing the cardinalities |Φn| presents difficulties as the computation of the Dedekind numbers. The latter give the analogous number of social choice functions when only strict preferences are admitted. A comparison is given for the known values. Based on our results, we present a graphical description of the binary strategy-proof social choice functions in the case of three voters
Coalitional economies with public projects
No full textWe prove that the welfare theorems hold in the framework of coalitional exchange economies with public projects, both in case of pure exchange and in the presence of production. The space of agents is assumed to be non-atomic (single traders are negligible) and infinitely many commodities are allowed to be present on the market

This duplicity was a mistake by the author: the latter is an erroneous designation and should be disregarded. The only valid paratype lots for M. benthovus are the ones shown above.Published as part of Cavallari, Daniel C., Dornellas, Ana Paula S. & Simone, Luiz Ricardo L., 2016, Second annotated list of type specimens of molluscs deposited in the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil, pp. 1-59 in European Journal of Taxonomy 213 on page 10, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2016.213, http://zenodo.org/record/384012
