Comparative experimental approach to investigate the thermal behaviour of vertical greened façades of buildings
No full textGreening the building envelope is not a new concept, however it has not been fully approved as an energy saving method for the built environment. Vertical green can provide a cooling potential on the building surface, as plants are functioning as a solar filter and prevent the adsorption of heat radiation of building materials extensively. In this study a comparative thermal analysis of vertical green attached to a façade element is presented. An experimental set up (stationary conditions) has been developed to measure the temperature gradient through a reference cavity wall, in order to quantify the contribution of vegetation to the thermal behaviour of the building envelope. The results show temperature differences between the bare wall and between the different vertical greening systems analysed, up to 1.7 °C for the direct greening system and 8.4 °C for the living wall system based on planter boxes after 8 h of heating for summer conditions, due to the different “material” layers involved. However, the insulation material of the bare wall moderates the prevailing temperature difference between the outside and inside climate chamber, resulting in no temperature difference for the interior climate chamber for summer conditions.Materials and Environmen
Thinobadistini
No full textThinobadistini PP = 81, age = 9.38 Mya (7.52–11.26). The clade is composed of Thinobadistes and Lestobradys and was recovered in all analyses, with the exception of par_EW. Thinobadistini was supported by a single synapomorphy, obtained with both methods: the presence of a diastema between Mf1 and Mf2.Published as part of Casali, Daniel M, Boscaini, Alberto, Gaudin, Timothy J & Perini, Fernando A, 2022, Reassessing the phylogeny and divergence times of sloths (Mammalia: Pilosa: Folivora), exploring alternative morphological partitioning and dating models, pp. 1505-1551 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 196 (4) on page 1524, DOI: 10.1093/zoolinnean/zlac041, http://zenodo.org/record/738123
L’AMICO DI GELLIO (E DI ALTRI AMICI): su "Le Muse in gioco" di Giorgio Bernardi Perini
No full textThis paper carefully examines the rich book that Giorgio Bernardi Perini
aims to present as «his farewell work». The author has collected his verse
translations of Latin works that frequently feature as art re-writings of
ancient originals. As well as such «sovrascritture», or «overwritings» as Bernardi
Perini himself defines them, the collection shows occasional poems and
short memoirs linked to some of the most relevant friend relations the writer
has had throughout a culturally committed life. The review high-lights some
of the most refined and poetical features that make the work not just a
farewell but the first of new contributions that will make our relationship
with the past more valuable and richer in humanity
Le limitazioni all’iscrizione a partiti politici per i magistrati e le sue rationes: tra imparzialità della magistratura e militanza della politica
No full textIl saggio esamina la norma della Costituzione italiana (art. 98, comma 3) che permette di limita- re l’iscrizione ai partiti politici da parte dei magistrati, cercando di individuarne le rationes. Oltre alla tutela dell’imparzialità del giudice, nella duplice accezione di essere e apparire imparziali, si tenta di argomentare l’esistenza di altra finalità, diretta alla tutela non dell’ordine giudiziario, ma bensì della stessa politica e dei partiti.The essay examines art. 98 of the Italian Constitution which allows legislation to limit membership in political parties by judges. This limitation is commonly understood as a tool to protect impartiality, in both senses of being and appearing impartial. The author argues for the existence of another purpose: the protection of politics itself and of the political parties
“Gathering Vetch” by Lu Xun Renarrating History, Between Orality and Writing
No full textThe present article focuses on a short story written by Lu Xun in 1935, «Gathering Vetch», later included in Gushi Xinbian (Old Tales Retold). In this text the author has been faithful to the official biography of the two legendary hermits Boyi and Shuqi, as it was recorded by Sima Qian and commented by Confucius, while on the other hand he could not fail to contaminate it with his irreverent wit, as well as with a variety of unmistakably modern narrative devices. Through a close reading of this single work, the article aims at analyzing Lu Xun’s ambivalent yet vital relationship with the Chinese tradition and folklore; it shows how the writer mingled the most authoritative historical texts (zhengshi) with the unofficial history (yeshi) and oral culture. This mixture between orality and the sacred written word of the Classics was not intended to demystify the canon for the sheer pleasure of it; rather, as this article tries to prove, Lu Xun engaged in a profound and radical rethinking of the Chinese past by retelling it in a new way
The State of Open Data: Histories and Horizons.
No full textA decade ago, open data was more or less just an idea, emerging as a rough point of consensus
for action among pro-democracy practitioners, internet entrepreneurs, open source advocates,
civic technology developers, and open knowledge campaigners. Calls for “open data now”
offered a powerful critique of the way in which governments and other institutions were hoarding
valuable data paid for by taxpayers – data that if made accessible, could be reused in a myriad of
different ways to bring social and economic benefits and democratic change.
Ten years on, open data is much more than just an idea. First, it was a movement, and then a
label applied to vast quantities of data from genomics and geospatial data to land registers,
contracting, and parliamentary voting. Today, it’s a term found on government portals, in global
policy documents, and in job descriptions. Thousands of businesses around the world owe their
existence or their growth to the release of open government data, and hundreds of civil society
organisations have embraced open data as a key element of their social change toolkit.
For a while, it may have been possible to identify a cohesive open data movement united by
shared interests, working simply to gain access to more data and establishing the principle that
government data should be open. However, as the movement has evolved, stakeholders have
turned their focus to linking data use to specific needs and to questions of how to quantify the
return on investment in advancing open data. Within this fast growing and organic open data
movement, an ever-increasing number of networks and communities of practice have become
more diverse, fluid, and cross-sectoral.
So what is the open data movement today? What has it achieved over the last decade?
Answering these questions is at the core of this publication. It is a collective effort to explore what
we can learn from the past, to identify how to build on the investments made to date, and to look
at how open data policy and practice have started to address challenges such as mainstreaming
and sectorisation.
Exploring these questions is not just important for historical purposes. It can yield important
insights on how best to move forward. This publication is also an invitation to identify the issues
that may sustain this broad coalition into the future. We believe that a deep reflection about the
movement, even a reflection on whatever cracks have appeared or on the gaps between promise
and reality, provides a vital opportunity to discuss where realignment and rethinking are needed.This collection of essays is the product of an 18-month journey that has brought together
almost 70 authors, supported by over 200 other contributors, to produce 37 short chapters on the
current state of open data from a range of different perspectives, offering the most comprehensive
attempt to explore the breadth and depth of the open data field to date
Nothrotheriinae
No full textNothrotheriinae plus Megatheriinae PP = 54, age = 17.96 Mya (16.39–19.87). This clade, which unites the clades Nothrotheriinae and Megatheriinae, was recovered only for H models and par_IW10 and par IW5, as stated above, and was poorly supported. The clade was supported by four synapomorphies, recovered with both methods: presence of lingual and labial grooves in mf3; temporal lines approximate midline but do not meet to form a sagittal crest on skull roof; well-developed buccinator fossa of maxilla, with a deep depression; and Glaserian fissure opening into a distinct groove in squamosal lying medial to entoglenoid process.Published as part of Casali, Daniel M, Boscaini, Alberto, Gaudin, Timothy J & Perini, Fernando A, 2022, Reassessing the phylogeny and divergence times of sloths (Mammalia: Pilosa: Folivora), exploring alternative morphological partitioning and dating models, pp. 1505-1551 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 196 (4) on page 1529, DOI: 10.1093/zoolinnean/zlac041, http://zenodo.org/record/738123
