The Genres of Rhetorical Speeches in Greek and Roman Antiquity
No full textIn The Genres of Rhetorical Speeches in Greek and Roman Antiquity, Cristina Pepe offers a complete overview of the concept of speech genre within ancient rhetoric. By analyzing sources dating from the 5th-4th century BC, the author proves that the well-known classification in three rhetorical genres (deliberative, judicial, epideictic), introduced by Aristotle, was rooted in the debate concerning the forms and functions of the art of persuasion in classical Athens. Genres play a leading role in Aristotle’s Rhetoric, and the analysis of considerable sections of the treatise shows profound links between the characterization of the rhetorical genres and Aristotelian philosophy as a whole. Finally, the volume explores the developments of the theory of genres in Hellenistic and Imperial rhetoric
Superconducting transition-edge sensors in tomorrow physics
No full textTransition-edge sensors (TESs) are outstanding calorimeters based on the steep superconductive transition of a metallic film. Among photon detectors, they belong to the top-tier positions for the high-energy resolutions and the low
dark count rates. They are usually applied to detect electromagnetic energy from gamma-ray to visible and submillimetre wavelengths, but their use goes further.
INRiM is presently involved in the development of TESs that pertain to different fields. In fact, TES capability of revealing massless or massive particles, while measuring their energies, can be applied in the quantum technologies, metrology and telecommunications, resolving photon signals from noise and counting them, as well as in the astrophysical and particle frameworks, from neutrino mass to multimessenger astronomy measurements. For all these reasons, TESs are constantly under development in order to fulfil the more severe experimental requirements. The latest results obtained at INRiM on TESs performances and applications will be presented
