Contemporary Literature. Analysis of Jonathan Bazzi's novels
No full textopenDopo una breve panoramica della letteratura italiana degli ultimi vent’anni si analizzano i due romanzi di Jonathan Bazzi "Febbre" e "Corpi minori" dai punti di vista formale, stilistico e tematico. Si discute inoltre il rapporto tra social media, autofiction e autore; nel capitolo 4 si riporta l'intervista che Bazzi ci ha gentilmente concesso, in cui questi argomenti vengono ripresi.
Si individuano alcune differenze che i testi mostrano rispetto alla letteratura moderna, e gli aspetti che hanno in comune con quella contemporanea; nel fare questo si accennano quindi alcune caratteristiche della società che li ha prodotti.The paper starts off with a brief overview of the contemporary Italian literature; then the reader is guided through an analysis of Jonathan Bazzi's novels, "Febbre" ("Fever") and "Corpi minori" ("Minor bodies"), both translated in English and published by Scribe. The relationship between author, autofiction and social media will also be discussed; in chapter four the reader will find the interview Bazzi kindly granted us
Agentsim: A Simulation Of A Petri Net Based Hardware Description Language
No full textby JONATHAN E. COOK Gdl, the hardware description language of the Agent design environment, is used by an engineer to describe the behavioral, structural, and physical aspects of his design. Gdl supports the design specification at the architectural and organizational levels of abstraction. Agent currently allows a designer to create and edit his design, and has the capability to do some static complexity analysis and synthesis. AgentSim is that part of Agent in which simulatation of designs specfified in Gdl is done. The behavioral specification in Gdl is based on Petri net theory, with extensions added to make the use of Petri nets practical. AgentSim takes the complete behavioral specification, the complete or partial structural specification, and initialization information supplied by the designer, and performs a simulation of the design. AgentSim cleanly handles simulation of multiple processes and synchronization between them. ii Copyright c fl 1991 by JONATHAN E. COOK Conten..

Citizen participation in news
No full textThe process of producing news has changed significantly due to the advent of the Web, which has enabled the increasing involvement of citizens in news production. This trend has been given many names, including participatory journalism, produsage, and crowd-sourced journalism, but these terms are ambiguous and have been applied inconsistently, making comparison of news systems difficult. In particular, it is problematic to distinguish the levels of citizen involvement, and therefore the extent to which news production has genuinely been opened up. In this paper we perform an analysis of 32 online news systems, comparing them in terms of how much power they give to citizens at each stage of the news production process. Our analysis reveals a diverse landscape of news systems and shows that they defy simplistic categorisation, but it also provides the means to compare different approaches in a systematic and meaningful way. We combine this with four case studies of individual stories to explore the ways that news stories can move and evolve across this landscape. Our conclusions are that online news systems are complex and interdependent, and that most do not involve citizens to the extent that the terms used to describe them imply

CHIMNEY (James Cook 152) multibeam bathymetry (MB710) data from Scanner Pockmark, North Sea
No full textMultibeam bathymetry data were collected around the Scanner Pockmark in the northern North Sea, by RRS James Cook (JC152) in August-September 2017 during the CHIMNEY survey (NERC grant NE/N016130/1). The multibeam data were acquired using MB710 along the seismic profiles and processed by the JC152 Science Party. Two grids are available, a larger area (10 m grid interval), and a dense (2.5 m interval) grid provides the micro bathymetry around the Scanner and Scotia pockmarks. Two jpeg images are available to see the lateral extent of the data. Please refer to CHIMNEY NERC grant reference NE/N016130/1 and this DOI when using this data.</span
The effect of micro-abrasion on enamel using abrasive slurries
No full textOBJECTIVESAn undesirable outcome of cleaning your teeth is wear of enamel. Tooth brushing is a complex tribological problem with many variables working in combination. The most commonly used abrasive particles in toothpastes are alumina and silica particles with a typical size between 4µm – 12µm. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of size, type and morphology of abrasive particles on the wear of enamel using a micro-abrasion rig and develop an understanding of the magnitude of wear caused by two, three and mixed- mode abrasion. METHODS Micro-abrasion testing using a nylon ball was undertaken on bovine enamel disks using a range of slurry concentrations (5 – 20% volume fraction) and loads of 0.5N, 0.2N and 0.1N, to determine wear rates and mechanisms. The slurries consisted of either mono-sized or bimodal, 5µm and 10µm silica and alumina abrasive particles in artificial saliva. Results were interpreted by scar analysis using the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).RESULTSMixed mode (2-body grooving with 3-body rolling) abrasion provided higher wear rates than solely 2-body grooving in all the tests. The bimodal tests produced higher wear rates than the single component sized particle tests. This can be explained by a change in wear mechanism from 2-body grooving to mixed-mode. Bimodal silica particle tests caused more wear than bimodal alumina particle tests. CONCLUSIONSThe highest wear rates were produced by the bimodal particle size distributions due to a shift to mixed-mode abrasion. Mixed mode gave higher wear rates compared to 2-body grooving in all the tests. A change in wear mechanism from 2-body grooving to mixed-mode, resulted in silica producing more wear than alumina. <br/
