    - Carlo Della Corte e la scrittura di fantascienza

    No full text
    The first attempt of della Corte as a narrator, Pulsatilla sexuata (1962), is a collection of science fiction stories, in which irony and satire – the style adopted by the author – occur both in relation to the hegemony of the American cultural model and as a parody of contemporary and classical literary antecedents (Buzzati, but also Dante and d’Annunzio). According to della Corte a demystifying will is the only way to understand reality: in Pulsatilla sexuata he tests a linguistic register poised between irony and self-irony, a register he keeps throughout his literary career. In the later anthology Cronache dell’arcipelago (1996), a collection of science fiction short stories all set in Venice, of which Carlo della Corte isn’t only the editor but also the author of four pieces (Tetralogia veneziana), he confirms the possibility of an Italian approach to science fiction and his belief in the active role of literature in human knowledge

    Global existence and stability for the modified Mullins–Sekerka and surface diffusion flow<sup>†</sup>

    In this survey we present the state of the art about the asymptotic behavior and stability of the modified Mullins–Sekerka flow and the surface diffusion flow of smooth sets, mainly due to E. Acerbi, N. Fusco, V. Julin and M. Morini. First we discuss in detail the properties of the nonlocal Area functional under a volume constraint, of which the two flows are the gradient flow with respect to suitable norms, in particular, we define the strict stability property for a critical set of such functional and we show that it is a necessary and sufficient condition for minimality under W2,p–perturbations, holding in any dimension. Then, we show that, in dimensions two and three, for initial sets sufficiently “close” to a smooth strictly stable critical set E, both flows exist for all positive times and asymptotically “converge” to a translate of E.Applied Probabilit

    Higher-gradient continua: The legacy of Piola, Mindlin, Sedov and Toupin and some future research perspectives

    No full text
    Since the first studies dedicated to the mechanics of deformable bodies (by Euler, D'Alembert, Lagrange) the principle of virtual work (or virtual velocities) has been used to provide firm guidance to the formulation of novel theories. Gabrio Piola dedicated his scientific life to formulating a continuum theory in order to encompass a large class of deformation phenomena and was the first author to consider continua with non-local internal interactions and, as a particular case, higher-gradient continua. More recent followers of Piola (Mindlin, Sedov and then Richard Toupin) recognized the principle of virtual work (and its particular case, the principle of least action) as the (only!) firm foundation of continuum mechanics. Mindlin and Toupin managed to formulate a conceptual frame for continuum mechanics which is able to effectively model the complex behaviour of so-called architectured, advanced, multiscale or microstructured (meta)materials. Other postulation schemes, in contrast, do not seem able to be equally efficient. The present work aims to provide a historical and theoretical overview of the subject. Some research perspectives concerning this theoretical approach are outlined in the final section

    La natura dei rimedi di cui all'art. 35-ter ord. pen. : possibili interpretazioni nel dialogo con alcune recenti decisioni di merito

    No full text
    In seguito alla sentenza Torreggiani della Corte Europea dei Diritti dell’Uomo il Governo italiano ha emanato il d.l. 26 giugno 2014, n. 92, convertito con l. 11 agosto 2014, n. 117, introducendo all’art. 35-ter o.p. due rimedi in favore dei soggetti che hanno subito “pene o trattamenti inumani o degradanti” ai sensi dell’art. 3 CEDU. Il presente contributo prende le mosse da alcune recenti decisioni di merito, nel tentativo di individuare la natura dei nuovi istituti – la “riduzione della pena detentiva ancora da espiare” e la “somma di denaro” – evidenziando le importanti ricadute applicative che discendono dal loro inquadramento
