Shelf-slope exchanges associated with a steep submarine canyon off Calvi (Corsica, NW Mediterranean Sea): A modelling approach
No full textpeer reviewedA three-dimensional, unsteady, nonlinear, high-resolution model is used to investigate the impact of the Calvi Canyon (NW Corsica) steep topography on the shelf-slope exchanges as well as on the circulation in the Calvi Bay in homogeneous winter and early spring conditions. A double σ coordinate system is considered in order to represent adequately the high depth gradients within the canyon. The studied region is under the influence of the West Corsica Current flowing northeastward along the NW Corsican coast (right-bounded flow). Model results show that the circulation in the Calvi Bay is determined by flow modifications in the canyon area. The mean horizontal flow is deviated southwestward upstream of the canyon to form an anticyclonic gyre in the western part of the Calvi Bay. Within the canyon the circulation is cyclonic leading to an offshore flow downstream of the canyon. Around the canyon rim, the cross-shelf currents become important, indicating that this region acts as a transition zone of high exchange between nearshore and offshore areas. Furthermore, the canyon topography generates high downwelling (upwelling) and downsloping (upsloping) velocities responsible for an intense vertical transport of material in the area. Numerical runs are performed for typical prevailing wind conditions. The wind is responsible for a drastic increase of cross-shore transports between the bay and the canyon area (3–4 times larger than in the no-wind case). SW winds induce a further enhancement of cross-shelf exchanges, whereas the effect of N-NE winds is to reduce exchange at the shelf break apart from the canyon head where an intense offshore flow occurs. Within the canyon, high vertical velocities are shown to be associated with high cyclonic vorticity which is enhanced (reduced) by the N-NE (SW) wind event. A comparison between model results and measured distributions of nitrate and chlorophyll a concentrations in the area shows the role played by this specific hydrodynamics as a strong constraint on the coastal pelagic ecosystem

Filippo Hercolani, Jacopo Alessandro Calvi e la riscoperta del Guercino
No full textGrazie a una serie di documenti inediti, custoditi nell’archivio privato della famiglia Hercolani di Bologna, è possibile ricostruire la genesi e gli sviluppi di una celebre impresa editoriale: la pubblicazione della prima moderna biografia del Guercino scritta dal pittore Jacopo Alessandro Calvi e corredata dalla prima trascrizione del Libro dei conti appartenuto al pittore. Fortemente voluta dal principe Filippo Hercolani, appassionato bibliofilo e collezionista di opere d’arte, grazie a una serie di carteggi che legano il gentiluomo a personaggi di spicco come Luigi Lanzi, Angelo Gaetano Vianelli, Girolamo Baruffaldi e Antonio Aldini, segretario di Stato di Napoleone, il saggio traccia la storia del manoscritto dagli anni novanta del Settecento fino alla sua pubblicazione avvenuta nel 1808. Il contributo, nel quale emergono novità rilevanti rispetto al dibattito critico, avvia una linea di ricerca innovativa e promettente
Lingua spagnola e turismo
No full textSpesso gli studenti italiani scelgono di studiare lo spagnolo convinti che sia un compito facile e mossi dall’interesse che hanno per la Spagna, una delle destinazioni turistiche che prediligono. Tuttavia, gli stereotipi solitamente associati alla Spagna, quali un mix di musica latina, paella e sangria, possono comportare diverse incomprensioni culturali. Questo studio si propone di evidenziare la distanza culturale esistente tra la Spagna e l’Italia, così come di sottolineare la necessità di sintonizzarsi con le altre culture e comprenderne e rispettarne le differenze, concentrandosi sul contrasto tra i livelli linguistici, culturali e pragmatici nel settore del turismo.Italian students often choose to study Spanish convinced as they are that it will be an easy task and also because Spain is one of the favourite tourist destinations for Italians. However, stereotypes of Spain as a mix of Latin music, paella and sangria, etc. can lead to several cultural misunderstandings. This study aims to highlight the cultural distance between Spain and Italy, stress the need to attune to other cultures and understand and respect differences by focusing on the contrast between the linguistic, cultural and pragmatic levels in the tourism sector
"Thomas Otway: Don Carlos"
No full textWhen Thomas Otway’s Don Carlos was performed at Dorset Garden Theatre in June 1676, early Restoration rhymed heroic plays were almost out of fashion. In the Prologue to Aureng-Zebe
(1675), John Dryden declared he had grown “weary of his long-lov’d Mistris, Rhyme” (Dryden
1995, Prologue 8), yet Otway’s second stage effort – written in heroic couplets – triumphed and
repaid its author for the failure of his abortive first tragedy, Alcibiades, which had been
unsympathetically received one year earlier. John Downes records that Otway’s new play “lasted
successively 10 days” and “got more money that any preceding Modern Tragedy” (Downes 1987,
36)
LATE with Missing or Mismeasured Treatment
No full textWe provide a new estimator, MR-LATE, that consistently estimates local average treatment effects when treatment is missing for some observations, not at random. If instead treatment is mismeasured for some observations, then MR-LATE usually has less bias than the standard LATE estimator. We discuss potential applications where an endogenous binary treatment may be unobserved or mismeasured. We apply MR-LATE to study the impact of women’s control over household resources on health outcomes in Indian families. This application illustrates the use of MR-LATE when treatment is estimated rather than observed. In these situations, treatment mismeasurement may arise from model misspecification and estimation errors
