Francesco Novati tra filologia e organizzazione della cultura
No full textI saggi raccolti nel volume Francesco Novati tra filologia e organizzazione della cultura nel primo centenario della morte (1915), descrivono la figura di Francesco Novati. Egli fu grande erudito e filologo e insegnò nell’Accademia scientifico-letteraria di Milano dal 1883 al 1886 e dal 1892 alla morte. Novati fu non solo uno studioso dai molteplici interessi, ma anche un notevole organizzatore culturale in vari campi. Il ricco e ampio saggio di Elisabetta Colombo è dedicato all’attività di Novati quale presidente della Società Storica Lombarda, dal 1899. Non delinea solamente i tratti salienti della sua presidenza, sempre sensibile alla conservazione del patrimonio culturale e artistico di Milano. Elisabetta Colombo ricostruisce anche l’ambiente della Società, il profilo di molti soci, membri di spicco dell’aristocrazia cittadina, e il contributo di Novati alla direzione della rivista l’‟Archivio Storico Lombardo”. Lo studio di Enrico Decleva è una ricerca sulla Società Storica Lombarda. Novati, eletto nel 1903 preside-rettore, cercò di svecchiare culturalmente l’Accademia. Coinvolse personalità come Gioacchino Volpe (vincitore del concorso di Storia moderna nel 1905), Piero Martinetti (ordinario di Filosofia teoretica dal 1906), Pietro Toesca (incaricato di Storia dell’arte dal 1905), Paolo D’Ancona (incaricato della stessa disciplina dal 1908) e Uberto Pestalozza (dal 1912 incaricato di Storia delle religioni). Grazie al materiale d’archivio, Decleva illustra le ragioni delle scelte di Novati e i conflitti interni all’Accademia fino alla sua mancata rielezione nel 1912. Infine, si sofferma sul ruolo da lui svolto nell’Associazione per lo sviluppo dell’alta cultura. Il saggio di Guido Lucchini ripercorre in breve la formazione di Novati alla Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa con Alessandro D’Ancona (docente di Letteratura italiana e illustre esponente della scuola storica) e col grecista Enea Piccolomini. Ricorda i suoi studi di maggior importanza nella storia della letteratura italiana e antico-francese, nella filologia medio-latina e umanistica, nella storia dell’arte e nella filologia romanza, con particolare riguardo per il grande e travagliato volume Le origini

Tra «raccoglimento» e «politica attiva»: la politica estera nella stampa liberale italiana (18704)
No full textLa presse de l'Italie libérale oscille entre le «Recueillement», c'est-à-dire le repliement sur soi, le refus de l'intervention extérieure, et une diplomatie discrète et pacificatrice des conflits, et la «Politique active», faite du désir d'accéder au rang de grande puissance. Face à un État soucieux de s'assurer la neutralité des journaux en matière de politique étrangère et d'obtenir un consensus «au-dessus des partis», l'influence de la presse, médiocre dans les années 70, va grandissante et les thèmes extérieurs deviennent des motifs majeurs d'affrontement. Deux sujets cristallisent les conflits : l'adhésion à la Triple Alliance et la politique coloniale. Minoritaires, les voix exigeant une politique de puissance se répandent dans l'opinion, réclamant, en particulier lors de l'expérience crispienne, un interventionnisme plus actif, et finissent, malgré des retours en arrière par l'emporter, préparant les choix décisifs des années 1911-1915.Decleva Enrico.

Innovation and Production Dynamics: the Producibility-Scarcity Paradox
No full textThis paper argues that modern economic growth as industrialism guided by technical invention leads to the formation of an industrial structure characterized by significant features of circularity. This circularity can be at the origin of dynamic processes that are generated within the structure of the industrial system and are largely independent of final consumer demand. Industrialism guided by technical invention (modern economic growth) has featured both improvements
in the effectiveness of the transformation of raw materials into final consumer goods and the development of intermediate productions leading to
the formation of a relatively self-contained and circular set of industrial activities.This feature of an industrial economy explains the greater likelihood and resilience of successful innovation in economies characterized by the existence of well-developed infrastructural and technological platforms providing a relatively stable environment to innovative initiatives.This feature also highlights the possibility of reducing technological uncertainty by explicitly considering the inertia inherent to technological interrelatedness across the different units of the production system
Soft x-ray absorption of the allyl free radical
No full textThe first experimental study of the X-ray absorption spectrum (XAS) of the allyl free radical, CH2CHCH2, is reported. A supersonic He seeded beam of hyperthermal allyl radicals was crossed by a high resolution synchrotron radiation (SR) in the focus of a 3D ion momentum imaging time-of-flight (TOF) spectrometer to investigate the soft X-ray absorption and fragmentation processes. The XAS, recorded as Total-Ion-Yield (TIY), is dominated by C1s electron excitations from either the central carbon atom, CC, or the two terminal carbon atoms, CT, to the frontier orbitals, the semi-occupied-molecular-orbital (SOMO) and the lowest-unoccupied-molecular-orbital (LUMO). All of the intense features in the XAS could only be assigned with the aid of ab initio spectral simulation at the Multi-Configuration Self-Consistent-Field (MCSCF) level of theory, this level being required because of the multi-reference nature of the core-excited state wavefunctions of the open shell molecule. The ionization energies (IEs) of the singlet and triplet states of the C1s ionized allyl radical (XPS) were also calculated at the MCSCF level
Vibrationally-resolved photoelectron angular distributions from randomly-oriented and fixed-in- space N2 and CO molecules

The Version of Record is available online at http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/0953-4075/45/19/194008Vibrationally resolved photoelectron angular distributions from randomly oriented and fixed-in-space N 2 and CO molecules have been evaluated by using an extension of the static-exchange density functional theory that includes the nuclear motion. Both K-shell and valence-shell photoionization have been considered. Comparison with the experimental data, only available for randomly oriented molecules, is very good. Our predictions for molecular-frame photoelectron angular distributions of N 2 show the signature of electron confinement and coherent two-centre interferences as those previously found in H 2. For CO, they exhibit diffraction patterns associated with the scattering of the ejected electron by the neighbouring atomic centre. The conclusions reported in this work suggest that vibrationally resolved photoelectron angular distributions can be a useful instrument to determine structure parameters in these simple moleculesWe thank Mare Nostrum BSC, Cineca and CCC-UAM for allocation of computer time.
