    Multiscale Analysis of Potential Fields by Generalized ContinuousWavelet Transform

    No full text
    The multiscale analysis of potential fields is a valid tool to study the source properties. Among multiscale methods, the Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) is well established due to its natural filtering properties. From the beginning the choice of the analyzing wavelet has been the set belonging to the Poisson kernel: within this framework the CWT can be easily performed by upward continuing the kth horizontal derivative of the field, some constant apart. We here use a recent development of CWT, called Generalized Continuous Wavelet Transform (GCWT) allowing any wavelet to be used (Fedi and Cascone, 2008) and apply it to the study of the magnetic field due to salt domes

Head (Fig. 8) dark orange, gena with posterior margin brown, thorax dark orange, tegula whitish with brown apex; antenna (Fig. 9) with radicle brown, scape largely brown except two whitish bands at base and close to apex; pedicel brown at base and whitish at apex; F1 brown, remaining parts of antenna uniformly whitish; legs yellow, dorsum of femora and tibiae bordered with brown (particularly so on middle legs), tarsi with last segment brown; forewing hyaline, venation (Fig. 10) brown; gaster brown. Head (Fig. 8) on FV between anterior ocellus and top of scrobes appearing smooth with extremely weak sculpture resembling that of mesoscutum; HW about 3,2× FV; ocelli forming an angle of about 90°; lowest margin of antennal torulus below lowest eye margin; antenna (Fig. 9) with scape about 2× as long as wide, F1 about 0.6× as long as pedicel, funicular segments of about the same length and increasing in width toward apex, F6 about 1.2× as long as broad. Relative measurements: HW 52, FV 16, POL 10, OOL 2, OCL 4, EL 34, EW 26, MS 12, SL 30, SW 15. Mesoscutum 0.5× as long as wide and a little shorter than scutellum (13:12); forewing about 2.6× as long as broad, PMV (Fig. 10) shorter than MV; MV shorter than SV. Relative measurements: FWL 136, FWW 52, MV 7.5, PMV 4.5, SV 10. Metasoma about 1× as long as head and thorax together; ovipositor not exserted. Paratype: hypopygium (Fig. 11) heart shaped, 1×as wide as long; ovipositor (Fig. 12) about 1.3× as long as mid tibia and 4.5× as long as gonostylus. Relative measurements: OL 110, MT 85, GL 25. Male. Unknown. Variation. None in the two specimens at hand. Hosts. The species was reared from Delottococcus aberiae (De Lotto) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) on hybrid grapefruit (Citrus x paradisi) (Rutaceae) Distribution. South Africa. Type material. Holotype ♀, South Africa, Limpopo province, 234518 m E 7357213 m S (= 23°52'28.5"S 30°23'34.7"E), 0 9.03.2017, ex Delottococcus aberiae (De Lotto) on Citrus x paradisi, Star Ruby (V. Martínez-Blay & J. Puig) (card-mounted). Paratype 1 ♀, same data as holotype (slide-mounted). Holotype deposited at NHM; paratype deposited at DEZA. Sequences deposited in GenBank: (Ang007) MH 401215. Comments. Females of A. antoniae are similar to those of A. aurantifrons (Compere, 1926) and A. amoenus (Compere, 1939) for general colour and antenna features. Apart from molecular evidence (see below and Fig. 18 for GenBank sequences examined), A. antoniae can be separated from A. aurantifrons by the proportion of ovipositor being 4.5x as long as gonostyli (3.5x in aurantifrons) and from amoenus by fore wing venation with MV and PMV combined distinctly longer than SV (distinctly shorter in amoenus). The species is named in honour of Dr. Antonia Soto Sanchez.Published as part of Guerrieri, Emilio & Cascone, Pasquale, 2018, Anagyrus Howard (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) parasitoids of the invasive Delottococcus aberiae (De Lotto) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) from South Africa, with description of two new species, pp. 374-382 in Zootaxa 4531 (3) on page 378, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4531.3.3, http://zenodo.org/record/261473

    Il sequestro informatico nel prisma del principio di proporzione

    The author focuses on the seizure of IT material and on the latest jurisprudential guidelines on the necessary compliance with the principle of proportionality in case of seizure of the entire content of an IT system. Highlighted the difficulty of a convincing reductio ad unum of the investigative instrument in question with respect to the "traditional" seizure, also due to the higher rank of the individual rights affected by the measure, the Author underlines the inadequacy of the current legislation to balance the opposing interests at stake

    La normativa spagnola in materia di misure di investigazione tecnologica nell’indagine penale: alcuni possibili spunti per il legislatore italiano per un approccio sistematico alla materia

    L’autrice esamina la normativa introdotta nel 2015 dal legislatore spagnolo in materia di misure di investigazione tecnologica nell’indagine penale. Particolare attenzione viene dedicata all’analisi delle disposizioni comuni sugli atti di indagine tecnologicamente avanzati, che rappresentano il risultato di uno sforzo normativo finalizzato a realizzare due esigenze: ridurre il rischio di obsole- scenza della relativa disciplina e assicurare la proporzionalità dell’intrusione dei pubblici poteri nel diritto al rispetto della vita privata dei soggetti coinvolti nell’accertamento penale.The author examines the discipline introduced in 2015 by the Spanish legislator on technological investigation tools in the criminal proceeding. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the common provisions on technologically advanced investigations, which represent the result of a regulatory effort aimed at achieving two objectives: the reduction of the risk of regulatory obsolescence and the proportionality of the intrusion of public authorities in the right to respect for private life

    La disponibilità esclusiva del dato informatico: una nuova pronuncia della Corte di cassazione a tutela del “patrimonio informativo”

    The Court of cassation deals again with the issue of the interest in challenging the seizure of computer data in case of realization of a copy and return of the originals. In accordance with the dominant case law, the decision reiterates the admissibility of the challenge when the appellant demonstrates his interest in the exclusive possession of the data; however, innovating with respect to the previous case law, it concludes that this demonstration is superfluous when data are stored in devices intended by their nature to contain confidential information. The author focuses on the reasons why this conclusion is the consequence of a paradigmatic change in the protection of individuals’ privacy in the use of information technology
