No full textTra TV e GIF quality:The Young Pope come esempio di complessità televisiva
No full textFocusing on the analysis of Paolo Sorrentino’s The Young Pope (2016), the article points out a tendency of the contemporary TV series production to make the role of the author less recognizable, or to lead the viewer to deal with the process of interpretation. As a consequence, the spectator achieves a more participating role allowed by new media and by the context of a read-write culture aiming for the re-use of an original text.
The Young Pope exemplifies – along with other contemporary TV series – a new conception of quality, which can be related to the idea of complex narrative if it is redefined as the ability of the product to connect to both an idea of authorship and to the absence of the author in texts re-used and remixed by users
DNA damage accumulation and efficiency of DNA repair process in Down syndrome cell model systems
No full textSmall ribosomal subunits associate with nuclear myosin and actin in transit to the nuclear pores.
No full textWe have followed at high resolution the ribosomal protein S6 entering the nucleus of HeLa cells, stopping in some (not all) interchromatin granules clusters and reaching, via Cajal bodies, the nucleolus. There, S6 is assembled with other proteins and rRNA into small ribosomal subunit (SSU), released in the nucleoplasm, and exported through the nuclear pores. We show for the first time the spatial association of nuclear myosin I (NMI) and actin with the SSU already at the nucleolar periphery to the nuclear pore. A blockade of NMI or actin induces an upstream accumulation of the S6 protein en route to the nucleolus, and a temperature lower than normal influences RNA export. Our data strongly suggest a functional relationship of SSU with NMI and actin. In our hypothesis, an active, myosin-driven movement of the small ribosomal subunit can be responsible for the export of _10% of SSUs. This hypothesis is supported by ultrastructural, immunofluorescence, and biochemical analyses. The currently accepted model for the subunit release suggests a diffusive, temperature-independent mechanism. However, the advantage of the double mechanism would assure that the movement of a part of the subunits could be modulated, increased, or decreased according to the needs of the cell at a specific moment in the cell cycle

The influence of Lucretius in Italian Renaissance: the Vernacular
No full textThe article tackles the important question of how much was Lucretius actually read in Italian Renaissance given the dangers of Epicurean doctrine for Catholic orthodoxy. Starting with the fact that the De rerum natura was never inscribed in the Index of Forbidden Books, the article explores the subtler ways in which scholars and writers avoided contrasts with the Inquisition adding to their appreciation of Lucretius as a poet a firm refutation of Lucretius as a thinker. Examples of authors who adopted - sooner or later - this ‘dissimulatory code’ are Raphael Francus, Pier Vettori, Vincenzio Borghini, Sperone Speroni
Thanks to this quite flimsy precaution, Lucretius circulated as much as the rest of classical literature, although a combination of cautiousness on the part of the authors and active censorship on the part of the Catholic church hindered for a very long time an Italian translation of the De Rerum Natura.
Indeed, his peculiar character of poet-philosopher, of physicus, took Lucretius into the hands of rather unusual readers, such as medical doctors, who relished in his description of the plague (DRN VI) and of the physiology of sex (DRN IV).
Another favourite passage of the poem was the simile of books I and IV: the author as wise doctor, who smears the cup’s brim with honey so that the bitter remedy of epicurean philosophy might be swallowed by the reader. The simile, that had a long tradition itself, was held as emblematic of the Renaissance debate on the role of poetry and Lucretius’ lines were quoted and translated countless times.Torquato Tasso ensured the Lucretian image’s popularity by using it for the proem of his 1581 masterpiece Gerusalemme Liberata:
Other sections of the poem, filtered through Neo-Platonic philosophy, gave subject to paintings by great Renaissance artists: Botticelli and Piero di Cosimo.
The last section of the article explores the different poetic incarnations of the Hymn to Venus, which never ceased to fascinate Renaissance and later poets, and was the subject of a restless process of imitation and formularisation (Alamanni, Berni, B. Tasso
Multi-source monitoring data and numerical analyses for the assessment of settlements affecting built-up areas in variable soil conditions
No full textThis paper presents an integrated analysis based on the use of multi-source wide-area datasets consisting of hydro-mechanical properties of geomaterials, in-situ investigations/measurements (e.g. groundwater levels in wells) and innovative space-borne data (i.e. DInSAR techniques) to support numerical analyses aimed at assessing and predicting the settlements affecting built-up areas in variable soil conditions. To this aim, an expeditious procedure was developed and tested with reference to a district in Rotterdam City (The Netherlands) affected by subsidence phenomena due to the presence of heterogeneous settling strata mainly composed by peat and organic soils. The results obtained allowed investigating the role of predisposing factors of the settlement occurrence and assessing the induced damage on buildings. Considering the widespread diffusion of such geohazards, the followed procedure could help the in-charge authorities to carry out activities at urban scale aimed at identifying the areas most affected by subsidence risk and to select the most suitable and sustainable mitigation strategies.Applied MechanicsGeo-engineerin
District-scale numerical analysis of settlements related to groundwater lowering in variable soil conditions
No full textThis study presents a novel framework in which numerical modelling contributes to the performance of district-scale, subsidence-induced damage assessment in cities where ground settlements affect entire quarters. Therein, the implementation of expeditious procedures offers geotechnical engineers the possibility of contributing beyond the typical site scale. For this purpose, several “typified” hydro-geomechanical-loading (HGL) models, which represent (simplified) scenarios of masonry buildings undergoing settlements, were set up to account for different predisposing or triggering factors (i.e., soil heterogeneity, loading conditions, and groundwater variations) of settlement occurrence in built-up areas. These models exploit multi-source, wide-area input datasets encompassing the hydro-mechanical properties of geomaterials, in situ investigations and measurements (e.g., groundwater levels in wells), and innovative remote sensing data (i.e., DInSAR techniques). With reference to a district in Rotterdam City (the Netherlands), which was built on “soft soils”, the numerical simulations of different scenarios (i) provide an overview of the comparative role of predisposing or triggering factors on settlement occurrence and (ii) allow assessments of the expected induced damage to masonry buildings over 30 years with the exploitation of fragility curves. Considering the widespread diffusion of such geohazards, the proposed approach could help prioritise (rather expensive) maintenance work to the built heritage within sustainable strategies for subsidence risk mitigation.Applied MechanicsGeo-engineerin
