The history of the Romano famili and "Angelo, tyran de Padoue" by Victor Hugo.
No full textreservedVictor Hugo, nel dramma Angelo, tyran de Padue, ricama tre diverse epoche storiche: i primi decenni dell’Ottocento, a lui contemporanei; la metà del Cinquecento, prescelta per lo svolgimento dell’azione drammatica; il tardo Medioevo evinto dai personaggi principali che compongono il racconto. Tuttavia, l’interesse storico e prettamente romantico verso il periodo medievale assume in quest’opera una rilevanza primaria. Tra le tante casate del nord Italia nominate dall’autore nell’opera, una su tutte sembra essere davvero simbolica. Particolarmente interessante è stato comprendere come la storia della famiglia da Romano costituisca il fulcro della costruzione drammaturgica. Ezzelino III e Cunizza da Romano sono elevati a emblema della poetica romantica e divengono funzionali al messaggio politico e sociale dell’autore.Victor Hugo, in his play Angelo, tyran de Padue, embroiders three different historical epochs: the first decades of the 19th century, contemporary with him; the middle of the 16th century, chosen for the unfolding of the dramatic action; and the late Middle Ages evoked by the main characters in the story. However, the historical and purely romantic interest in the medieval period takes on primary importance in this work. Of the many northern Italian lineages named by the author in the work, one in particular seems to be truly symbolic. It was particularly interesting to understand how the history of the da Romano family forms the core of the dramaturgical construction. Ezzelino III and Cunizza da Romano are elevated to emblems of romantic poetics and become functional to the author's political and social message

Oltre i confini della razionalità
No full text- Il contributo di Angelo Volpe prende in esame fondamentalmen-te due oggetti: primo, la potenzialità indiscussa nella sociologia contemporanea degli approcci individualistici e razionali e, secondo, la necessità di trascendere la gabbia stessa della razionalità e di andare oltre. Ciò che l’autore auspica è la realizzazione di un “modello a spettro intero” per l’analisi dei fatti sociali, un modello che possa espandere il raggio d’azione della comprensione sociologica al di là di ciò che possiamo vedere e misurare razionalmente.
- The contribution of Angelo Volpe essentially examines two objects: first, the unquestioned potentiality in contemporary sociology of individualistic and rational approaches, and, second, the need to transcend the very cage of rationality and go further. What the author hopes is the realization of a "full-spectrum model" for the analysis of social events, a model that can expand the scope of sociological understanding beyond what we can see and measure rationally
Transcription of the mitochondrial citrate carrier gene: identification of a silencer and its binding protein ZNF224
No full textIn the last few years, we have been functionally characterizing the promoter of the human mitochondrial citrate carrier (CIC). In this study we show that CIC silencer activity extends over 26 bp (-595/-569), which specifically bind a protein present in HepG2 cell nuclear extracts. This transcription factor was purified by DNA affinity and identified as ZNF224. Overexpression of ZNF224 decreases LUC transgene activity in cells transfected with a construct containing the CIC silencer region, whereas ZNF224 silencing activates reporter transcription in cells transfected with the same construct. Moreover, overexpression and silencing of ZNF224 diminishes and enhances, respectively, CIC transcript and protein levels. Finally, ZNF224 is abundantly expressed in fetal tissues contrary to CIC. It is suggested that CIC transcriptional repression by ZNF224 explains, at least in part, the low expression of CIC in fetal tissues in which fatty acid synthesis is lo

La fabbrica illuminata
No full textLa fabbrica illuminata, for voice and four-track magnetic tape, was composed by Luigi Nono in 1964. The music on tape, recorded at the Studio di Fonologia Musicale of the RAI in Milan, was the result of the complex elaboration of audio materials from different sources: parts performed by the RAI choir of Milan, “thematic” improvisations sung by the mezzo-soprano Carla Henius, voices and noises from the Italsider plant in Genoa-Cornigliano, and synthesized sounds.
Original audio sources
Three versions by the author were identified in the RAI archives in Milan:
Milan RAI Q6, 1964, analogue magnetic tape, 1 inch, 38 cm/s, quadraphonic, created by the author for performance with live voice;
Milan RAI Q7, 1965, analogue magnetic tape, 1 inch, 38 cm/s, quadraphonic. With the soloist voice recorded3 ;
Milan RAI E28, 196[5], analogue magnetic tape, 1⁄4 inch, 38 cm/s, monophonic. With the soloist voice recorded;
The copy deposited for copyright is conserved in the Ricordi Archive, Milan:
Milan Ricordi E214, 196[7], analogue magnetic tape, 1 inch, 38 cm/s, quadraphonic.
The tapes are still in good condition and include a set of metadata pertinent to the content of the recordings. The preservative re-recording of the analogue document in digital format was carried out in the Audio laboratory of the RAI in Milan, together with the MIRAGE Laboratory.
This restoration is tied to the basic document CLN 0002 in the Archive of Casa Ricordi in Milan, a digital conservative copy of the magnetic tape Q6 of the Archive of the Studio di Fonologia at the RAI in Milan.
The restoration of the sound tracks of the work has been completed at the Audio Laboratories of the University of Udine (Gorizia campus)under the expert supervision of Angelo Orcalli and edited by Angelo Orcalli. This restored version was based on the original documents and is accompanied with a technical report
Anthony Angelo and Law Reform in Mauritius
No full textThe author, former Professor and Dean of Law at Victoria University of Wellington and President of the Court of Appeal, discusses his experience working a law reform project in Mauritius with Professor Tony Angelo. As the author has experience in income tax reform, the article focuses on Professor Angelo's legislative drafting and policy development in relation to income tax law. Professor Angelo is described as a "one man Law Reform Commission" regarding his role in Mauritius, and discusses the importance of rules relating to technical interpretation and accessibility
Assessment of the neutron dose field around a biomedical cyclotron: FLUKA simulation and experimental measurements
No full textIn the planning of a new cyclotron facility, an accurate knowledge of the radiation field around the accelerator is fundamental for the design of shielding, the protection of workers, the general public and the environment. Monte Carlo simulations can be very useful in this process, and their use is constantly increasing. However, few data have been published so far as regards the proper validation of Monte Carlo simulation against experimental measurements, particularly in the energy range of biomedical cyclotrons. In this work a detailed model of an existing installation of a GE PETtrace 16.5 MeV cyclotron was developed using FLUKA. An extensive measurement campaign of the neutron ambient dose equivalent H∗(10) in marked positions around the cyclotron was conducted using a neutron rem-counter probe and CR39 neutron detectors. Data from a previous measurement campaign performed by our group using TLDs were also re-evaluated. The FLUKA model was then validated by comparing the results of high-statistics simulations with experimental data. In 10 out of 12 measurement locations, FLUKA simulations were in agreement within uncertainties with all the three different sets of experimental data; in the remaining 2 positions, the agreement was with 2/3 of the measurements. Our work allows to quantitatively validate our FLUKA simulation setup and confirms that Monte Carlo technique can produce accurate results in the energy range of biomedical cyclotrons
