Introduction to Magnetorheological Fluids
No full textThe present article intends to introduce the reader to magnetorheological fluids (MRFs), a class of smart materials widely adopted in several applications. Their basic functioning principles as well as their engineering problems are addressed
Thomas Adès, «Powder Her Face»
No full textNel saggio di apertura, tanto criticamente denso quanto altamente comunicativo, Daniela Tortora cita Powder Her Face come «l’opera dal titolo impronunciabile di Philip Hensher e Thomas Adès», non certo perché sia particolarmente difficile articolarlo nell’idioma originale, ma perché come tutte le lingue vive l’inglese, essendo la più viva di tutte, si presta a un’infinità di giochi di parole. La pruderie non è amica della verità, dunque per questo motivo è meglio che il pubblico dell’«ipercontemporanea» (secondo Daniela Tortora) Powder Her Face conosca l’episodio di cronaca mondana e al tempo stesso giudiziaria che ha ispirato gli autori dell’opera, e comprenda che in scena si parla chiaro per fini che nulla hanno a che vedere con il compiacimento per lo scandalo (o, peggio ancora, voyeuristici), ma che appartengono alla sfera dell’etica più rigorosa. Valentina Brunetti, nell’articolo che chiude in rosa la sezione saggistica, prende in esame la vicenda del divorzio dei duchi di Argyll – la miliardaria Ethel Margaret Whigham, al suo secondo matrimonio, e lo spiantato Ian Douglas Campbell, undicesimo duca di Argyll – riservando la sua simpatia piuttosto alla donna, nonostante le consuetudini, che al marito. Nel secondo articolo abbiamo lasciato la parola a Philip Hensher, coautore di Powder ma soprattutto, come lui stesso preferisce essere ricordato, scrittore di vaglia
Magnetorheological Fluid Applications
No full textMagnetorheological fluids (MRFs) are included in the group of smart materials, having the unique ability to change their viscosity and their yield stress in response to a magnetic field as well as the external operating power. These fluids have recently received significant attention due to their adaptability and high reliability in the operation of semi-active control systems requiring small power sources. The purpose of this paper is to review practical applications of MRF technology to provide a technical rationale of the use of these smart materials for future applications
Tell a Story. Became a lifelong learner
No full textIn this contribution we intended highlight a particular teaching method that encourage both a constructivist learning, learner control, collaborative due to its ability to set up processes of construction of meanings, as a trasformative learning ( Mezyrow, 2003).
The digital storytelling becomes an active element and bearer of real and experiential content of society (Mc Drury & Alterio, 2003). Locate and reflect on what has been learned, encourage “active learning” through learning by doing , role-playng, problem- solving, in which intentionality, understood as the will to achieve motivating goals, play s an important role because it gives meaning to all the process ( Jonassen, 2000); also, offers the opportunity to make visible some aspects of knowledge and relate it to everyday life allowing greater involvment, reflection and motivation to study, to getting ahead from multimedia component which seems to be closer children’s comunication method, increasingly linked use of new tecnologies.
The research involves children of primary school in the Province of Bari. After a first phase of teaching/learning strategies for the production of digital storytelling , has follone a second phase of creation and development of a real digital storytelling. According to the model of Mc Drury and Alterio we have observed some design constraints: Story Finding, Story Telling, Story Expanding, Story Processing, Story Re-Constracting.
The research proposal of digital storytelling in primary school proves to be exciting and interesting teaching approach above all it comunicate in a systemic content, processes and emozional and experiential contexts. Digital storytelling has the potential to be a complementary teaching tool to other more traditional teaching.
The results reveal that the product carry out by the students are most effective in the educational and training settings as much as they can mediate true stories, rich in personal thoughts and lived experiences
Michele Taruffo: el magisterio y la obra ejemplares del genial procesalista «todoterreno»
No full textThe author reflects on Michele Taruffo’s extraordinarily important contribution to the renewal of both conventional procedural law scholarship and the theoretical background of law-court professionals. Taruffo’s contribution was achieved by means of introducing to mainstream culture in those circles the necessary knowledge of the underlying epistemic dimension, which was traditionally suppressed by the strictly legal one.El autor discurre acerca de la importantísima contribución de Michele Taruffo a la renovación del procesalismo convencional y del bagaje teórico de los profesionales de la jurisdicción, mediante la incorporación a la cultura dominante en tales medios del imprescindible conocimiento de la dimensión epistémica subyacente y tradicionalmente sofocada por la propiamente jurídica
