    Matlab Function created by Dr. Gabriele Fiorentino. Version 1: March 2021. Version 2: January 2022.The code allows to generate N non-stationary stochastic ground motions based on few input parameters: Magnitude, Distance, Vs30 and Style-of-Faulting. The methodology is described in the cited reference.Reference:Sabetta F, Pugliese A., Fiorentino G., Lanzano G., Luzi L.

    Recent attestations of “new” glume wheat in Turkey: a reassessment of its role in the reconstruction of Neolithic agriculture

    Studies of the origins of agriculture in the Near East have revealed that the eight plant species known as “Founder Crops”, i.e. emmer, einkorn, barley, lentils, peas, chickpeas, bitter vetch and flax, derived from annual self-pollinating wild predecessors, were all domesticated in roughly the same period. Recent research however has prompted new debate on whether there are really only eight “Founder Crops” species in the Near East. Interest has focused on “new” glume wheat (NGW), a Triticum species identified for the first time by de Moulins at the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB) site of Caferhöyük in Eastern Anatolia. After this identification, similar remains were identified in Neolithic and Bronze Age sites in Greece and were named “new” glume wheat. Recently, the remains of NGW spikelet bases have been documented in two settlements in Turkey: Yumuktepe (Cilicia) and Yenikapı (eastern Thrace). The remains of NGW spikelet bases from these two settlements underwent morphobiometric analysis in order to contribute to discussion of the morphological character of NGW spikelets. In addition, a whole NGW spikelet from Yenikapı was analysed, contributing to discussion of the morphological features of NGW caryopses. At the same time, these attestations open up new debate not only on its large-scale presence in Anatolia but also its origins and the ways and routes by which it spread to other regions. In this study, the two basic models of domestication and geographical expansion, i.e. the “rapid transition model” and the “protracted model”, are assessed on the basis of the new evidence of NGW in Turkey and the relationship with other European sites where it is attested

    GALASSIA FACEBOOK. Comunicazione e vita quotidiana

    Facebook viene fondato il 4 febbraio 2004 da Mark Zuckerberg, e in meno di dieci anni si impone come il social network più diffuso sul pianeta. Un fenomeno non comune e allo stesso tempo normale per molti, che ha ridefinito in poco tempo la vita quotidiana di milioni di persone nel mondo, fino a essere consacrato di recente nell'immaginario collettivo da Hollywood (The Social Network, David Fincher 2010). Galassia Facebook è un libro agile, provocatorio e di confronto serrato dedicato al fenomeno Facebook secondo approcci diversi per taglio scientifico e orientamento culturale. L'identità, la politica, l'etica, l'educazione, la pubblicità, le relazioni sociali, il reale e il virtuale, il testo e le immagini. Facebook come lente d'ingrandimento che spiega la vita quotidiana al tempo della convergenza digitale
