Gabriel García Márquez and the cinema : life and works / Alessandro Rocco.
No full textRocco focuses on Gabriel GarciÌa MaÌrquez's relations with the world of cinema and gives us the first detailed study of the author's wide-ranging filmography. A unique and indeed indispensable addition to the critical literature on a writer of world importance. Gerald Martin, author of Gabriel GarciÌa MaÌrquez: A Life Far from being an occasional occupation, GarciÌa MaÌrquez's film work forms an intrinsic part of his overall aesthetic and literary poetics. The book's primary aim is to present a detailed study of GarciÌa MaÌrquez's wide-ranging filmography, which has never received a comprehensive,systematic analysis. Rocco argues that it should be recognised as an integral part of the author's narrative output, and brought into the mainstream of studies concerning his literary activity. The first part of the book reconstructs the trajectory of GarciÌa MaÌrquez's career in cinema and his connections with the world of film. The second part looks at all his screenplays on which actual films have been based. These are examined chronologically, but also analysed according to thematic and aesthetic concerns and placed in relation to the novels and short stories with which they are 'twinned'.

Piv Measurements on a Hybrid Mini Wind Turbine
No full textThe proposed work concerns an experimental investigation of the aerodynamic of a hybrid mini wind turbine which couples the main characteristics of classical mini wind turbine Darrieus and Savonius. The study consisted in the investigation on a prototype of hybrid turbine characterized by a geometry Darrieus with 4 fixed blades and a Savonius, positioned internally at the Darrenius, constituted by flexible wings which vary in their extension, reducing the extension at the increase of the angular velocity to wrap completely when the angular speed is such high to allow the wing profiles of Darreius to generate a positive torque. In order to characterize the hybrid turbine the flow field was investigated by means of a bidimensional Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique, measuring velocity and vorticity in two aerodynamic configurations (Savonius blades at the maximum extension and at 2/3 of the maximum extension), for two unperturbed flow conditions of 5 and 10 m/s and for two angular velocity of the turbine which correspond at a tangential maximum velocity of 1 and 1.7 m/s. The measurements were performed in a wind tunnel with a measurements test section of 400 x 400 mm and a maximum speed as high as 30 m/s
Begriffsketten, Verschränkungen und Deontik der Pandemiediskurse
No full textAls ein vergleichsweise junges diskurslinguistisches Untersuchungsobjekt eröffnen Pandemiediskurse unterschiedliche Forschungsfragen und -desiderata (vgl. z.B. Rocco/Dreesen/Krasselt, im Druck). Im Zentrum des Interesses steht hier das Desiderat, die Verschränkung bestimmter Stränge von Pandemie(meta)diskursen mit anderen Diskursen bzw. Diskurssträngen näher zu erforschen. Ausgehend von einigen deutschen und italienischen Ausdrücken, die im Zusammenhang mit der Pandemie das Konzept des „Leugnens“ versprachlichen (Covidleugner, negazionista, negazionismo del covid u.a.), erkundet der Beitrag die Verschränkung von Pandemiediskursen mit anderen Diskursen und Diskurssträngen. Anhand der Schweizer Teilkorpora S_AL_DE_SNF_COVID19 und S_AL_IT_SNF_COVID19 in deutscher und italienischer Sprache werden hierzu Begriffsketten bzw. Begriffsäquivalenzen und Begriffsoppositionen untersucht, in denen einschlägige Ausdrücke vorkommen, die das Konzept des Leugnens und benachbarte Konzepte versprachlichen

Near-Field Antenna Measurement Techniques
No full textA complete description of the near-field antenna measurement techniques is provided in this chapter. After a discussion of the state of the art, the key steps of the classical near-field–far-field (NF-FF) transformations with plane-rectangular, cylindrical, and spherical scannings, in their probe-uncompensated and probe-compensated versions, are summarized, by also providing some analytical details on the wave expansions commonly adopted to represent the antenna radiated field. The nonredundant sampling representations of electromagnetic field are then introduced and applied to drastically reduce the number of required NF data and related measurement time with respect to the classical NF-FF transformations. At last, the NF-FF transformations with innovative spiral scannings, allowing a further measurement time saving, are described. © Springer Science+Business Media Singapore 2016. All rights reserved
The Vitruvian Man of Leonardo Symbol of Western Civilization

The famous drawing of Leonardo (Vinci 1452, Amboise 1519) has become the symbol of western civilization. The author wrote The man is named Minor World by
the ancients. As Plato had bound fire and earth, the components with which God created the universe (the macrocosm), through the proportional mean, which was
named Divine, thus Leonardo bound man (the microcosm) which Vitruvius dissected in a circle and a square using the Golden Section. The Vitruvian man of Leonardo dates 1490 circa and measures 344x245 mm; the author was inspired by Vitruvius in the relationship between proportions, as he himself reports. We restrain ourselves to delineate how the square becomes the circle, or how from the circle one passes to the square, applying what we will discuss in Applied problems and in How to graphically obtain the
Golden Section.
