No full textFrom the video archives of the Cornell Law School Heritage Project. The interviewer is Peter W. Martin; the videographer, Michael d’Estries. This video covers Faust Rossi’s reflections on his career as a law professor. A 1960 graduate of Cornell Law School, Rossi began his legal career as a trial attorney in the United States Department of Justice Honors Program. He subsequently became a litigation partner in a Rochester law firm, and joined the Cornell Law School Faculty in 1966. He retired in 2013.
Professor Rossi is the author of a text on expert witnesses and coauthor of the Handbook of New York Evidence. He was a national winner of the Roscoe Pound Jacobson Award for excellence in teaching Trial Advocacy. Professor Rossi was a recurring visiting professor at Central European University in Budapest and a regular faculty member in the Cornell Summer Institute of International and Comparative Law in Paris. He has also given hundreds of lectures to lawyers and judges in the United States and Europe.
Faust Rossi is Samuel S. Leibowitz Professor of Trial Techniques, Emeritus
Space and the nation: three texts on Aldo Rossi
No full textIn this paper the spatial dimensions of political practice and the historical dimensions of architectural practice are examined. The author argues that these two practices intersect when, in the life of a city and a nation, time is transformed into space. The productivity of death in this regard is explored. In developing this argument, reference is made to the works and writings of Regis Debray and Aldo Rossi, as well as events in the recent political history of South Africa
A multimessenger study of the Milky Way’s stellar disc and bulge with LISA, Gaia, and LSST
No full textInternational audienceThe upcoming Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission offers the unique opportunity to study the Milky Way through gravitational wave (GW) radiation from a large population of Galactic binaries. Among the variety of Galactic GW sources, LISA is expected to individually resolve signals from ∼10^5 ultra-compact double white dwarf (DWD) binaries. DWDs detected by LISA will be distributed across the Galaxy, including regions that are hardly accessible to electromagnetic (EM) observations such as the inner part of the Galactic disc, the bulge, and beyond. We quantitatively show that the large number of DWD detections will allow us to use these systems as tracers of the Milky Way potential. We demonstrate that density profiles of DWDs detected by LISA may provide constraints on the scale length parameters of the baryonic components that are both accurate and precise, with statistical errors of a few per cent to 10 per cent level. Furthermore, the LISA sample is found to be sufficient to disentangle between different (commonly used) disc profiles, by well covering the disc out to sufficiently large radii. Finally, up to ∼80 DWDs can be detected through both EM and GW radiation. This enables multimessenger astronomy with DWD binaries and allows one to extract their physical properties using both probes. We show that fitting the Galactic rotation curve constructed using distances inferred from GWs and proper motions from optical observations yield a unique and competitive estimate of the bulge mass. Instead robust results for the stellar disc mass are contingent upon knowledge of the dark matter content
L'originale e la maschera: Stefan George traduttore di Dante
No full textThis essay sets out to examine Stefan George’s version of the Divina Commedia from the viewpoint of the translator/poet’s performative reactivation and transmission of the cultural devices embedded in the original. At the basis of the partial rendering of Dante’s poem, of which single significant episodes are translated, is the idea of its rebirth in the modern era in the form of a complete work in German, in line with the objectives of George’s circle for literary reform. Through the translation, the translator/poet’s goal is to assimilate the whole cultural system of the Dantesque model into his own poetological system and values. This complex operation of poetic transposition (Übertragung) and literary transfer is done on several levels and even includes “disguise” as the extreme form of emulation of the translated author
Once again on Iranian *kund
No full textThe current paper is the third treatment by the author (previous ones: Rossi 2002, 2006) of a complex set of terms widely attested in the Iranian area, but also present in Armenian, NW Semitic (and from here Arabic), Indo-Aryan and Dravidian.
Differently from the conclusions of Asatrian/Arakelova paper of 2001, the author identifies three major lexical families, with the following prototypes: (1) *kōnd-/kŏnd- ‘stump, stub’; (2) *kund-/gund- ‘globular, spherical; thick, large, full-bodied’; (3) *kōnd-/kŏnd- (a) ‘stem of a tree, stump, stock’; and secondarily ‘stock of gun, stocks for offenders’; (b) any anatomical articulation conceived as a support (metaphorical projection on human anatomy of a support stick), as ‘kneecap, elbow, knee’.
All of the linguistic families mentioned show interactions between them for all of the three lexical families, and while core semantics are clearly demonstrable for each of them, peripheral (both geographical and semantical) differentiations are widely attested.
Areal atymologies encompassing Indo-Aryan, Iranian and Dravidian are also hinted

The Large Magellanic Cloud Revealed in Gravitational Waves with LISA
No full textThe Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will unveil the non-transient
gravitational wave sky full of inspiralling stellar-mass compact binaries
within the Local Universe. The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is expected to be
prominent on the LISA sky due to its proximity and its large population of
double white dwarfs (DWD). Here we present the first dedicated study of the LMC
with gravitational wave sources. We assemble three LMC models based on: (1) the
density distribution and star formation history from optical wavelength
observations, (2) a detailed hydrodynamic simulation, and (3) combining the
two. Our models yield a hundred to several hundred detectable DWDs: indeed, the
LMC will be a resolved galaxy in the LISA sky. Importantly, amongst these we
forecast a few tens to a hundred double degenerate supernovae type Ia
progenitors, a class of binaries which have never been unambiguously observed.
The range in the number of detections is primarily due to differences in the
LMC total stellar mass and recent star formation in our models. Our results
suggest that the total number, periods, and chirp masses of LISA sources may
provide independent constraints on both LMC stellar mass and recent star
formation by comparing LISA observations with the models, although such
constraints will be highly model-dependent. Our publicly available model
populations may be used in future studies of the LMC, including its structure
and contribution to LISA confusion noise.Comment: Accepted to MNRAS. Adapted from M. A. Keim's MSc Thesis. Catalogues
