Bari, 9 settembre 1943. L'Affaire Bellomo.
No full textAfter the announcement of the armistice between Italy and the Allies the Royal Italian Army, forced to an unequal showdown with the German forces, was put in a dire situation. In spite of its inferiority, however, many Italian units bravely, and in many places successfully, resisted to the Wehrmacht’s assault founding one of the cornerstones of the later «Resistenza» movement. In this article the author, after a brief summary of the happenings which led to the armistice, focuses the attention on the fighting occurred in the city of Bari where an assaulting German elite unit was forced to surrender by an hete-rogeneous Italian force recollected and led by the general Nicola Bellomo. In the last part of the work the author deals with the faultiness of the memory about these events in the subsequent historiography and, in particular, he re-examines from an innovative point of view the events which led to the incri-mination and condemnation of the general Bellomo by a british Military Court at the end of the war
London Gin Craze, c. 1700-1760
No full textThe history of crime has provided scholars with a diverse framework with which to interpret wider social issues, including class and gender. The literature surrounding London’s history is the most significant for any British city, with many publications examining the relationship between criminality, urbanisation and the formation of the lower classes. The existing historiography for the gin craze, however, is limited with only a few historians exploring its fundamental issues in any depth. These publications are limited further by their narrow approach, which predominantly focuses on the spirit trade, alcohol consumption, and the legislative attempts to control the epidemic. This project is filling a crucial gap in the historiography, which has so far failed to examine the influence of gin on crime. No other study has attempted to explain contemporary anxieties as a moral panic and, further, no one has sought to examine court records to establish the actual levels of criminal activit
Speak of War and Prepare for Peace: Rome, 10 June 1940.
No full textFurther expanding an analysis previously made by the same author, this essay addresses the nine months of Mussolini’s «non-belligerency» and adds new evidence on the factors that inflenced Mussolini’s decision to join Hitler in the war on 10 June 1940. In particular, the article provides an insight into the efforts made by Mussolini to differentiate his position from that of Germany and to validate himself as a reliable mediator for peace negotiations. Having failed to achieve this during the fist half of the non-belligerency, Mussolini apparently reverted to a policy of solidarity with Berlin. Then, as defeat loomed for the Allies, Mussolini’s pressure increased along with German successes until he thought of the declaration of war as a last resort to embolden the peacemakers in Paris and London and to bring them to the peace table to save what remained of the European balance
DIMENTICARE CLAUSEWITZ? CONFLITTI ASIMMETRICI E GUERRE DI QUARTA GENERAZIONE
No full textSince the meltdown of the Soviet Union and its imperial system in the final turn of the XX Century many voices have been raised indicating an incoming change in the nature of war. One branch of the debate was constituted by the reflections about the supposed «revolution in military affairs» promoted by the marvelous technological leap occurred in the intelligence systems, stand-off weapons, and in the command and control chain. On the other hand, the return
of civil strife and ethnic conflict on the European landscape, after the tragic failure of the Yugoslavian state as well as in other areas of the world, have drawn new attention on old concepts like «irregular warfare» or «insurgency» and
spurred many authors, like Mary Kaldor and Martin Van Creveld, in declaring the impending obsolescence of war in the traditional sense, and inducing others in defining the new concept of «fourth generation warfare». In all the cases these analysis have been supported by a parallel devaluation of Carl von Clausewitz’s classical thinking about the nature of war. In this article the author makes a review of the fortunes of concepts like «guerrilla warfare» from the Napoleonic age to the present, stressing the continuing relevance, even in our chaotic times, of Clausewitz’s analysis of war as a political enterprise

Some Physical Characteristics and Heavy Metal Analyses of Cotton Gin Waste for Potential use as an Alternative Fuel
No full textThis study examines the waste of cotton gins as a potential alternative energy source, on account of its heat content, availability, and low emission rates. To confirm that this potential energy source meets minimum industrial fuel standards, this research has carried out an investigation of some important physical characteristics and toxic element analysis of cotton gin waste. Using cotton gin waste as fuel is an attractive solution to the problems of disposing of a surplus agricultural waste as well as supplementing fuel must meet both environmental emission standards and industrial fuel standards, the physical and chemical characteristics of cotton gin waste and its toxic element concentrations are important for its objective evaluation as a fuel. Constituent components, moisture contents, and ash contents of four separate parts of cotton gin waste were determined and evaluated closely following the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) test methods. The three most toxic heavy metals, Arsenic (As), Chromium (Cr), and Lead (Pb), chosen for quantitative analysis were determined by using an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry and a microwave oven sample digestion method

A PRIMAL-DUAL ESTIMATOR OF PRODUCTION AND COST FUNCTIONS WITHIN AN ERRORS-IN-VARIABLES CONTEXT
No full textIn 1944, Marschak and Andrews published a seminal paper on how to obtain consistent estimates of a production technology. The original formulation of the econometric model regarded the joint estimation of the production function together with the first-order necessary conditions for profit-maximizing behavior. In the seventies, with the advent of econometric duality, the preference seemed to have shifted to a dual approach. Recently, however, Mundlak resurrected the primal-versus-dual debate with a provocative paper titled Production Function Estimation: Reviving the Primal. In that paper, the author asserts that the dual estimator, unlike the primal approach, is not efficient because it fails to utilize all the available information. In this paper we propose that efficient estimates of the production technology can be obtained only by jointly estimating all the relevant primal and dual relations. Thus, the primal approach of Mundlak and the dual approach of McElroy become special cases of the general specification. In the process of putting to rest the primal-versus-dual debate, we tackle also the nonlinear errors-in-variables problem when all the variables are measured with error. A Monte Carlo analysis of this problem indicates that the proposed estimator is robust to misspecifications of the ratio between error variances.Research and Development/Tech Change/Emerging Technologies, Research Methods/ Statistical Methods,
