Lamia e le sue metamorfosi
No full textThe present research analyzes Lamia’s figure, thanks to literary and iconographic sources. The purpose is distinguishing Lamia from the other child-snatching female demons of Greek culture and understanding if her androgyny is an original element or if it is taken from the Near Middle East. Through the study of sources is possible to follow Lamia and all of her metamorphosis, in Greek culture and also in the Latin one.Il lavoro analizza la figura di Lamia alla luce delle testimonianza testuali e iconografiche. L’obiettivo è quello di distinguerla dalle altre figure di demoni femminili presenti nel panorama greco dei demoni rapitori di bambini e di comprendere se la sua androginia sia un elemento originario o acquisito in seguito ai contatti culturali con il Vicino Oriente. Attraverso lo studio delle fonti è quindi possibile seguire questa figura e tutte le metamorfosi da lei subite, sia nella cultura greca sia in quella latina

The impact of foreign R&D activities on the MNC's performance at home: Evidence from the Case of Swiss Manufacturing firms
No full textThis paper examines the impact of the MNCs’ internationalisation of R&D activities on their performances/productivity at home. Specifically, using detailed firm-level data for Swiss manufacturing firms, we find that foreign R&D activity of Swiss MNCs is a valuable source of knowledge which improves their productivity performance at home, but only when firms invest in knowledge-seeking activities. Conversely, R&D activities conducted abroad with knowledge-exploiting purposes seem to weaken the MNC’s productivity at home
‘He Sang the Story’ Narrative and Poetic Identity in Keats’s Work
No full textStory-telling is a mode central to the practice and achievement of John Keats. In ‘Sleep and Poetry’, he refers to life as ‘The reading of an ever-changing tale’. This line suggests his sense of the centrality of narrative to human experiences. Yet the Keatsian narrative is as a medium for Keats to investigate the nature and development of his poetic identity. His idea of poetry and of the poet, and his narrative figuring of himself as a poet are my subject, as they are his, when in the phrase the thesis takes for its title Keats writes of a poet in Endymion, ‘He sang the story up into the air’ (II, 838).
Recent scholarship has interpreted Keats’s narrative techniques in different ways. Critical approaches have modified the Bloomian concept of the anxiety of influence by using a reader response approach, or have taken on board or swerved from a McGannian New Historicist perspective. In the process Keats’s formal achievement, once celebrated by critics such as Walter Jackson Bate and Helen Vendler, has received comparatively little attention. This thesis, adopting ideas and approaches associated with narratology (including its application to lyric poetry), analyses Keats’s poetic career, focusing on the poetry’s narrative techniques and its treatment of the narrator’s role. My approach might be described as aiming to accomplish a ‘poetics of attention’.
This thesis consists of eight chapters. Chapter one discusses ‘I stood tip-toe upon a little hill’ and ‘Sleep and Poetry’, poems that are crucial in understanding Keats’s use of narrative to explore his poetic identity. In chapter two, concentrating on Endymion’s enactment of imaginative struggle, I attempt to show the purposeful function of the poem’s ‘wandering’ and complex narrative structure, which allows Keats space to develop and examine his beliefs about mythology, beauty, and visionary quest. Chapters three and four examine narrative techniques and the narrator’s role in ‘Isabella; or, The Pot of Basil’ and ‘The Eve of St. Agnes’ as Keats questions the nature and function of ‘old Romance’, even as he employs it, thus bringing a modern self-consciousness to bear on his task. Chapters five and six are devoted to the narrativity shown in the odes. Such an exploration of the ‘lyric narrative’ seeks to shed new light on our understanding of Keats’s odes. Chapter seven considers the ambivalence that Keats creates in ‘Lamia’. Lamia’s enigmatic identity as a woman and a serpent makes the narrative complex and the narrator perplexed. Chapter eight analyses ‘Hyperion: A Fragment’ and ‘The Fall of Hyperion: A Dream’, arguing that Keats uses these two poems as narratives to explore his idea of poetry and of the poet.
In his short creative life, Keats demonstrates different and various narrative skills. These narrative skills shape his ideas and ideals of poetry as well as of the poet. Via his use of narrative, we are able to see the evolution of his poetic identity. He presents himself as what he recommended a poet should be, a shape-changing figure, who might be best described as a ‘camelion Poet’
MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank
Residual stress and material flow prediction in Friction Stir Welding of Gr2 Titanium T-joints
No full textFriction Stir Welding is nowadays an established technique successfully used by many industries. However, most of the research and, consequently, most of the applications regard aluminum alloys and butt joints. T-joints are of high interest for different industrial sectors as aeronautical, aerospace, naval and ground transportation, for which joint integrity and low residual stress are extremely important. In this study, an experimental and numerical approach is proposed with the aim to study the peculiarities of the residual stress distribution and material flow occurring in FSW of CP-Ti T-joints. Experiments were carried out to assess the feasibility of the process and to acquire the temperature data needed for the validation of a specifically set-up numerical model. Peculiar numerical strategies have been defined in order to calculate the residual stress with affordable CPU time and to highlight the bonding surface between the skin and the stringer. Main findings include a longitudinal residual stress profile different from the one usually found for butt joints. The reasons for this behavior were explained through a deep investigation on the temperature distribution in space and evolution in time. Finally, the bonding surface between skin and stringer was highlighted together with the possibility of flow defects in the fillet area

When compared to those new species described here, female papillae anales with a reduced postaphophysis, rounded ostium bursae, and a sclerotized plate on the underside of the ductus bursae (Figs 48–49).</p> <p> <b>Distribution</b> (Fig. 62). The available data suggest that <i>P. lamia</i> is associated with humid forests of northeastern Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana and northern Brazil (Amazonas, Pará and Maranhão) lowlands, and rainfall levels between 1500–2000 mm /year (Brown 1948; Brown & Ab’Saber 1979; Constantino 1995) in the Roraima and Pará provinces of the Boreal Brazilian dominion.</p> <p> <b>Host plant</b>. <i>Heliconia</i> sp. (Heliconiaceae) (Ackery 1988).</p> <p> <b>Remarks</b>. <i>Papilio lamia</i> Sulzer, 1776 was described based on an unknown number of specimens with the vague type locality “ Amerika ”. <i>Papilio rhea</i> Fabricius, 1775 was also described based on an undetermined number of specimens from “Indiis”, but Fabricius (1787, 1793) later cited its locality as “Cajennae” (French Guiana). The type series is likely lost (Zimsen 1964), and the specimen figured in BOA website (Warren <i>et al.</i> 2014) is a syntype of <i>Papilio dyndimene</i> Cramer, 1779. <i>Papilio dyndimene</i> was described based on undetermined number of specimens from Suriname and later synonymized with <i>P. l a m i a</i> by Weymer (1911). Two females of <i>P. dyndimene</i> from Cramer’s type series are deposited at NHM and here, they are designated as lectotype and paralectotype. Lectotype female hereby designated with the following labels (separated by forward slash symbols): Nº 88 DYNDIMENE, Cr. III. 198. FG/ Dyndimene F./ <i>Pirella rhea</i> Fabricius, det. M. Clifton 1968/ BMNH(E)# 781041. Paralectotype female with the following labels (separated by forward slash symbols): TYPE / Surinam Coll/ FELDER COLLN./ Rotschild Bequest B.M. 1989–1 / <i>Pierella rhea</i> Fabricius, det. M. Clifton 1968/ BMNH(E)# 781042.</p> <p> Ebert (1965) pointed out that the name <i>Papilio rhea</i> is preoccupied by <i>Papilio rhea</i> Poda, 1761 (currently synonymized to swallowtail <i>Parnassius apollo</i> (Linnaeus, 1758) being <i>Pierella lamia</i> (Sulzer, 1776) the valid name for this species. According to Brown (1948), <i>Pierella rhea</i> (currently <i>P. lamia</i>) has two subspecies: <i>P. r. rh ea</i> and <i>P. r. chalybaea</i> Godman, 1905. The former is characterized by the same background colour pattern in both wings and no steely blue reflections on the hind wings. Brown (1948) also considered <i>P. lamia</i> as a form of <i>P. r. rhea</i> based on the hind wings darker than the forewings, mainly towards the external margin, and usually with steely blue reflections at the hind wing base. Our examination of 41 specimens indicated that Brown’s abovementioned characters are variable within the <i>P. lamia</i>, even between individuals collected in the same area. D’Abrera (1988) followed Brown’s hypothesis, but the specimen figured (p. 730) is clearly <i>P. lamia</i>, as already indicated by Constantino (1995). <i>Pierella luna</i> ab. <i>albina</i> was described from Guatémala (French Guiana), and the illustration provided by Oberthür (1896: pl. II, fig. 10) and Warren <i>et al.</i> (2014) clearly confirms its identity as an aberration of <i>P. l am i a</i> (Lamas 2004).</p> <p> <b>Material examined</b>.
