The European Convention on Human Rights and Its Impact on National Private Law: An Introduction
No full textOver the last two decades, the European Convention on Human Rights
(ECHR) has come to play a major role in a large number of private law issues.
The aim of this book is to provide a broader view of the impact of the ECHR
on national private law. To that end, it begins with a comparative analysis of
the interaction between the ECHR and Contracting States’ domestic laws. The
chapters forming the main part of the book explore, also from a comparative
perspective, the influence of the ECHR on a wide range of fields of private
law, including family law, data protection law, media law, copyright law, labour
law as well as private international law and procedural law. The analysis of
cases reveals many common features, but likewise some inconsistencies, in the
decisions of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). The final part
of the book focuses on a number of overarching issues, in particular the role
of comparative law in the reasoning of the ECtHR and the contribution of the
ECHR to European harmonisation of private law. What becomes apparent from
the various contributions is that the ECHR and the case-law of the ECtHR are
becoming important elements of a common European private law
I principi epistemologici della botanica di Guy de La Brosse
No full textThis paper investigates some core aspects of Guy de La Brosse’s (1586-1641) botanical work. In the first section, the focus is on the epistemological principles of La Brosse’s botany by analyzing the first and second book of the treatise De la nature, vertu et utilité des plantes (1628). In the second section, the author discusses the role of Paracelsus’s chemistry in La Brosse’s work, with a particular attention to the third book of the De la nature. The final section deals with La Brosse’s interest in the visualization of plants. Here, the author provides the transcription and first Italian translation of a short manuscript related to Abraham Bosse’s engravings for La Brosse’s unfinished book Icones posthumae

Spectrophotometric methods for the measurement of soil pH: A reappraisal
No full textThe pH of aqueous soil extracts is generallymeasured potentiometrically by glass electrode (GE). Spectrophotometric
methods have also been used till around the '80s, and then they have apparently been abandoned. However,
the use of microplates and spectrophotometers able to read absorbance values in them can significantly
increase the speed of the data collection (saving analysis time), thus justifying their reappraisal. Three spectrophotometric
methods are proposed in this work: a one-indicator (OISM), a separated three-indicator (STISM)
and a mixed three-indicator (MTISM) spectrophotometric method. They are based on the addition of one or
three colorimetric indicators (methyl red, bromocresol violet, and bromothymol blue) to the aqueous extract.
The pHismeasured through its absorption properties in the visible region. The analysis of 60 soil samples showed
that STISMand MTISMresults correlate well with the ones obtained by GE. The STISMmethod, beingmore simple
and general than the other two methods, is proposed for quick routine analyses. The repeatability, reproducibility
and accuracy of STISM(and of GE, for comparison)were evaluated bymeasuring several times the pH of a
series of soil samples and of a certified reference soil. The standard deviations of STISM results were slightly
worse than those of GE,whereas the accuracywas slightly better, indicating that STISMand GE have overall similar
performances. STISM method is much faster than GE one: the analysis time saving is around 2 min per sample,
and it becomes very high when hundreds of samples have to be analysed. It follows that STISM can represent
an advantageous alternative to GE for rapid and accurate soil pH measurements
Teleology in Renaissance Science
No full textTeleology is the idea according to which every event is directed toward precise aim, even those not depending from conscious actions. The teleological interpretation of the world is particularly important in Renaissance natural philosophy because of the detachment from tradition. Nature’s regularity and organization is no more attributed to God but to nature itself. Starting from the sixteenth century’s Italian philosophy, nature is believed to be sensitive and intelligent in different degrees, and it implies a completely new teleological interpretation of the world
Adaptive iterative thresholding algorithms for magnetoencephalography
No full textWe provide fast and accurate adaptive algorithms for the spatial resolution of current densities in MEG. We assume that vector components of the current densities possess a sparse expansion with respect to preassigned wavelets. Additionally, different components may also exhibit common sparsity patterns. We model MEG as all inverse problem with joint sparsity constraints, promoting the coupling of non-vanishing components. We show how to compute solutions of the MEG linear inverse problem by iterative thresholded Landweber schemes. The resulting adaptive scheme is fast, robust, and significantly Outperforms the classical Tikhonov regularization in resolving sparse current densities. Numerical examples are included

Visible spectroscopic and photometric survey of Jupiter Trojans: Final results on dynamical families
No full textWe present the results of a visible spectroscopic and photometric survey of Jupiter Trojans belonging to different dynamical families. The survey was carried out at the 3.5 m New Technology Telescope (NTT) of the European Southern Observatory (La Silla, Chile) in April 2003, May 2004 and January 2005. We obtained data on 47 objects, 23 belonging to the L5 swarm and 24 to the L4 one. These data together with those already published by Fornasier et al. [Fornasier, S., Dotto, E., Marzari, F., Barucci, M.A., Boehnhardt, H., Hainaut, O., de Bergh, C., 2004a. Icarus 172, 221 232] and Dotto et al. [Dotto, E., Fornasier, S., Barucci, M.A., Licandro, J., Boehnhardt, H., Hainaut, O., Marzari, F., de Bergh, C., De Luise, F., 2006. Icarus 183, 420 434], acquired since November 2002, constitute a total sample of visible spectra for 80 objects. The survey allows us to investigate six families (Aneas, Anchises, Misenus, Phereclos, Sarpedon, Panthoos) in the L5 cloud and four L4 families (Eurybates, Menelaus, 1986 WD and 1986 TS6). The sample that we measured is dominated by D-type asteroids, with the exception of the Eurybates family in the L4 swarm, where there is a dominance of C- and P-type asteroids. All the spectra that we obtained are featureless with the exception of some Eurybates members, where a drop-off of the reflectance is detected shortward of 5200 Å. Similar features are seen in main belt C-type asteroids and commonly attributed to the intervalence charge transfer transition in oxidized iron. Our sample comprises fainter and smaller Trojans as compared to the literature's data and allows us to investigate the properties of objects with estimated diameter smaller than 40 50 km. The analysis of the spectral slopes and colors versus the estimated diameters shows that the blue and red objects have indistinguishable size distribution, so any relationship between size and spectral slopes has been found. To fully investigate the Trojans population, we include in our analysis 62 spectra of Trojans available in literature, resulting in a total sample of 142 objects. Although the mean spectral behavior of L4 and L5 Trojans is indistinguishable within the uncertainties, we find that the L4 population is more heterogeneous and that it has a higher abundance of bluish objects as compared to the L5 swarm. Finally, we perform a statistical investigation of the Trojans's spectra property distributions as a function of their orbital and physical parameters, and in comparison with other classes of minor bodies in the outer Solar System. Trojans at lower inclination appear significantly bluer than those at higher inclination, but this effect is strongly driven by the Eurybates family. The mean colors of the Trojans are similar to those of short period comets and neutral Centaurs, but their color distributions are different
