Christine de Pizan: annotazioni pedagogiche su La città delle dame
No full textChristine de Pizan: Educational Remarks on City of Ladies
The contribution focuses on the figure of Christine de Pizan, an ex- ceptional example to identify pedagogical elements by retracing the biographical experience through the reading of her literary produc- tion. The historical boundaries in which the City of Ladies is located are outlined, alongside the proposal of a critical reading of the impact of the study of the Classics at the dawn of Humanism, whose eternal pedagogical relevance is highlighted. The life of the author offers a horizon of fruitful thought in inspiring her own contribution to the community / city, with all the semantic and semiological heritage of classical culture
Oral History Interview with David T. Lopez, June 27, 2016
No full textDavid T. Lopez was born in Laredo, TX. He attended the University of Texas at Austin, where he became involved as a reporter and editor for the Daily Texan and the Texas Ranger. His involvement in news reporting lead him to work for the Corpus Christi Caller-Times, where he reported on Black and Brown efforts in school desegregation. Attracted by Cesar Chavez and United Farm Workers movement, Lopez would participate in the strikes in the Rio Grande Valley and would report on the repressive tactics of the Texas Rangers as a plaintiff in the Medrano v. Allee lawsuit. He eventually got his law degree at South Texas College of Law in Houston and worked as a field representative for the AFL-CIO. Lopez discusses how he served on the HISD school board, the politics of the Huelga School Strike, how he was one of the first lecturers for the University of Houston Center for Mexican American Studies, and police brutality
Analysis of projection methods for rational function approximation to the matrix exponential
No full textKrylov subspace methods for approximating the action of the matrix exponential
exp(A) on a vector v are analyzed with A Hermitian and negative semidefinite. Our approach is
based on approximating the exponential with the commonly employed diagonal Pad ́e and Chebyshev
rational functions, which yield a system of equations with a polynomial coefficient matrix. We
derive optimality properties and error bounds for the convergence of a Galerkin-type approximation
and of a computationally feasible and extensively used alternative. As complementary results, we
theoretically justify the use of a popular a posteriori error estimate, and we provide upper bounds
for the components of the solution vector. Our theoretical and numerical results show that this
methodology may provide an appropriate framework to devise new strategies such as more powerful
acceleration schemes

Tort Reform in the Wake of United States v. Lopez
No full textThis Note discusses the extent to which federal tort reform measures would be constitutionally valid in light of the Supreme Court\u27s decision in United States v. Lopez, which invalidated a federal statute criminalizing guns in schools. The Lopez Court, recognizing that the federal government was one of enumerated powers, held that the Commerce Clause granted Congress the power to regulate only those activities which had a substantial effect on interstate commerce. Specifically, this Note examines the constitutionality of a current proposal to limit punitive damage awards in nearly all tort actions. The heavy financial burden runaway juries impose on the economy-at-large is more than substantial enough to justify federal pre-emption. This Note surmises that the present Court would permit federal regulation of all but the most local tort lawsuits. Contrary to the expectations of many, Lopez does not signal a revolution in Commerce Clause jurisprudence
