Hydrodynamic Feedbacks of Salt‐Marsh Loss in the Shallow Microtidal Back‐Barrier Lagoon of Venice (Italy)
No full textExtensive loss of salt marshes in back-barrier tidal embayments is ongoing worldwide as a consequence of land-use changes, wave-driven lateral marsh erosion, and relative sea-level rise compounded by mineral sediment starvation. However, how salt-marsh loss affects the hydrodynamics of back-barrier systems and feeds back into their morphodynamic evolution is still poorly understood. Here we use a depth-averaged numerical hydrodynamic model to investigate the feedback between salt-marsh erosion and hydrodynamic changes in the Venice Lagoon, a large microtidal back-barrier system in northeastern Italy. Numerical simulations are carried out for past morphological configurations of the lagoon dating back up to 1887, as well as for hypothetical scenarios involving additional marsh erosion relative to the present-day conditions. The progressive loss of salt marshes significantly impacted the lagoon hydrodynamics, both directly and indirectly, by amplifying high-tide water levels, reducing wi..

Starchitecture: Scenes, Actors and Spectacles in Contemporary Cities
No full textHow and why do spectacular buildings get commissioned and procured? What are their visible urban effects? What can urban planners, architects, and policymakers learn in order to engage in more successful citymaking?
In recent years, media and critical attention has been lavished on famous architects, and the contributions of their designs to the branding of cities. The post-“Bilbao effect” global landscape is one where cities compete for the highest-profile skyscrapers, cultural projects, and high-profile developments designed by star architects whom even casual readers know by first name: Frank Gehry, Bjarke Ingels, Jean Nouvel, Zaha Hadid, Norman Foster, Rem Koolhaas. Far less is known about the decision-making processes behind these projects and their subsequent urban effects.
A unique combination of urban studies and photography, Starchitecture investigates projects designed by star architects in cities including Paris, New York, Abu Dhabi, Bilbao, and the architectural microcosm of the Vitra campus in Weil am Rhein, Germany. Author Davide Ponzini and photographer Michele Nastasi seek to explain and critique a growing global condition by revealing how starchitecture has been and continues to be deployed in cities around the world. The arguments they raise are vital to understanding the urban landscapes of today, and tomorrow

Design and characterization of a fractal-inspired multi-frequency piezoelectric energy converter
No full textA promising harvesting technique, in terms of simplicity and efficiency, is the conversion of ambient kinetic energy through piezoelectric materials. This work aims to design and investigate a piezoelectric converter conform to a fractal-inspired, multi-frequency structure previously presented by the author. A physical prototype of the converter is built and experimentally examined, up to 120 Hz, in terms of modal response and power output. Three eigenfrequencies are registered and the power output is particularly good at the fundamental eigenfrequency. Also the effect of the resistive load applied to the converter is investigated
Checking Flavour Models at Neutrino Facilities
No full textAbstractIn the recent years, the industry of model building has been the subject of the intense activity, especially after the measurement of a relatively large values of the reactor angle. Special attention has been devoted to the use of non-abelian discrete symmetries, thanks to their ability of reproducing some of the relevant features of the neutrino mixing matrix. In this Letter, we consider two special relations between the leptonic mixing angles, arising from models based on S4 and A4, and study whether, and to which extent, they can be distinguished at superbeam facilities, namely T2K, NOνA and T2HK
La rilevanza del rischio economico nella definizione dell’ambito soggettivo di applicazione della disciplina sui contratti pubblici e del diritto della concorrenza
No full textL’articolo si propone di analizzare il ruolo del rischio economico come criterio
idoneo a delineare l’ambito soggettivo di applicazione del diritto europeo dei
contratti pubblici e del regime della concorrenza. L’analisi si incentra sull’in-
terpretazione delle nozioni di “organismo di diritto pubblico” e di “impresa”. Il
contributo intende evidenziare la crescente importanza dell’analisi economica
come criterio ermeneutico utile a segnare il confine tra “pubblico” e “privato”,
tra “attività amministrativa” e “attività d’impresa”.The essay examines the role of economic risk in identifying the scope of public
procurement and competition law. The widespread use of private law institutions
by the public sector creates uncertainty about whether to apply public procurement
or competition law or both. According to the author, the concept of economic risk
could represent a decisive criterion for marking the boundaries between the two
areas of law. Consistently, the author highlights the importance of a “more
economic approach” in the application of European internal market law
