No full textProfilo di Gustavo Modena, Modena rivisto. Due studi di Claudio Meldolesi
No full textIl volume mette in relazione la monografia dedicata a Gustavo Modena da Claudio Meldolesi nel 1971 e la sua riflessione successiva, maturata dopo lo spettacolo "Negli spazi oltre la luna. Stramberie di Gustavo Modena", di cui è stato dramaturg; è preceduto da un saggio introduttivo di L. Mariani: "Meldolesi vs Meldolesi. Altri profili di Gustavo Modena". L'accostamento dei due saggi di Meldolesi mostra come per lo storico del teatro sia preziosa una lettura delle fonti tradizionali alla luce delle pratiche teatrali, mentre l'introduzione propone una ricognizione critica degli studi dello stesso Meldolesi sull'attore
Agroclimatic characterisation of European mountain viticultural areas
No full textThe adaptability of Vitis vinifera L. to a wide range of climate and soil types is the result of the genetic plasticity associated with the variety of management practices and training systems that represent the result of a long historical evolution . In this context climatic variables (solar radiation, temperature, relative humidity, wind, precipitation and so on) play a primary role as driving variables for plants and show strong effects on quantity and quality of viticultural production.
In the light of this, agroclimatic analysis is an important instrument for zoning viticultural aptitude at different scales, from macro to microscale. In this paper a specific application of this analysis to the European mountain areas that are part of the CERVIM (European Centre for Mountain Viticulture) is discussed.
First classification element adopted was the effect of synoptic circulation that represents the carrier of different kinds of air masses (arctic, polar maritime, polar continental, subtropical) that directly influence European climate giving tree different macroclimates: an Oceanic climate typical of Central Europe, a Mediterranean one typical of lands surrounding the Mediterranean basin and a transitional climate typical of North Italy. A meso and microscale characterisation of selected areas was obtained by means of indexes related to vine physiology (Thermal units, Huglin index, potential PAR, precipitation regime, continentality level, etc.) and water balance (e.g.: number of days with empty reservoir). These indexes, obtained from the processing of climatic normals, were defined for the lowest and the upper limit of each viticultural area, obtaining a quantitative description of the spread of these indexes along the selected territories. The general conclusion of this analysis is that resources and limitations in climate are key factors for agro-climatic zoning; the effects of these factors on phenological and physiological features must be studied and quantitatively evaluated. Another conclusion is that a general rule does not exist and key factors are quite different in different areas giving local effects that represent the element of originality and uniqueness of wine produced in mountain areas
Stazione meteorologica galleggiante
No full textL’invenzione riguarda una stazione meteorologica galleggiante per la misurazione delle variabili meteorologiche in bacini idrici poco profondi ed un originale misuratore/registratore del livello dell’acqua come accessorio per la stazione. L’intera struttura è in grado di galleggiare anche solo in 3 centimetri d’acqua senza perturbare l’ambiente. E’ costituita da una struttura in alluminio alla quale sono collegate piccole lastre di poliuretano per permetterne il galleggiamento. Alla struttura sono collegati diversi sensori ed una centralina per l’acquisizione dei dati. Un braccio mobile consente misurazioni esatte della temperatura in superficie nonostante eventuali oscillazioni (comunque ridottissime) della struttura in caso di perturbazioni all’ambiente. La modularità della struttura ne permette l’adattamento ad esigenze diversissime
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Selection of (Changes in) Management Patterns in Agroforestry
No full textIt should be noted that we have left the livestock component out here because it has been dealt with in Sect. III.3.1.(e) and Chap. III.6.(A). Since we have handled quite some general aspects of this new subject in other sections, we deal here with a case study on the importance of a correct management of interrows of orchards and vineyards, such as with cover crops to prevent soil erosion and to improve the soil by adding organic matter. The relevance of positive and negative effects of cover crops is obviously determined by the crops adopted (species and varieties) but can be strongly modulated by the choices of sowing methods (type and time) and management practices
Selection of Actual Preparedness Strategies for Dealing with Climate, as Adopted in Using Non-forest Trees
No full textThe non-forest trees of this section are rubber, oil palm, cocoa, citrus fruits, grape, coconut and other plantation/orchards trees. Apart from grape and citrus, these tree crops are mainly grown in tropical and sub-tropical areas. Climate is the major determining factor in their geographical distribution. Most of these crops are perennial in nature and require specific climatic conditions for their optimum productions (Rajavel et al. 2005; Chattopadhyay et al. 2005). Box III.5.4 gives an example of preparedness for satisfying water requirements in Italy
