New Perspectives on “Law and Humanities” together with a “Musical” Approach to the History of Legal Problems: Looking throught the Mirror of Opera
No full textThe deformation of an ellipsoidal drop under viscous flow conditions
No full textA previously developed phenomenol. model for the deformation of a droplet immersed in a fluid subjected to a flow field (P. L. Maffettone, M. Minale; 1998) is tested to predict the drop transient behavior following the flow start-up and its relaxation upon cessation of flow. The model was then compared with expts. in which a shear device consisting of a parallel plate app. was used, and the fluids used were 2 immiscible polymers, polyisobutylene and polydimethylsiloxane. Comparison of theor. and exptl. data showed that both the start-up and the relaxation upon cessation fo flow is accurately predicted. The study is of interest with respect to blending and processing polymers

Microconfined shear deformation of a droplet in an equiviscous non-Newtonian immiscible fluid: Experiments and modelling
No full textIn this work, the microconfined shear deformation of a droplet in an equiviscous non-Newtonian immiscible fluid is investigated by modeling and experiments.Aphenomenological model based on the assumption of ellipsoidal shape and taking into account wall effects is proposed for systems made of non-Newtonian second-order fluids. The model, without any adjustable parameters, is tested by comparison with experiments under simple shear flow performed in a sliding plate apparatus, where the ratio between the distance between the confining walls and the droplet radius can be varied. The agreement between model predictions and experimental data is good both in steady state shear and in transient drop retraction upon cessation of flow. The results obtained in this work are relevant for microfluidics applications where non-Newtonian fluids are used
Mental Disease and Imputability: intervalla insaniae and Regime of Custody. From D. 1.18.14 (Macer De iudiciis publicis libri XIV) to the Contemporary Debate
No full textThe Macer's passage preserved in D. 1.18.14 (together with Ulpian's D. 1.18.13.1 and Modestinus' D. 48.9.9.2) faces the matter of the imputability of a subject author of a crime, but unfit to plead because of mental disease. In our fragment the principle which denied the imputability in such a case, already existing in the Roman legal system, is restated in a rescript sent by Marcus Aurelius and the son Commodus to the functionary Scapula Tertullus concerning a certain Aelius Priscus, murderer of his mother. The emperors ask to investigate the possible presence of simulatio dementiae and mainly intervalla insaniae prescribing the measure of the detention, if necessary also in prison. The fact forces us to reflect about the high level of dogmatic speculation of the Severan jurists. In more criminological sense, instead, the main problem is represented by the social value given to a homicide inside the family and in particular toward a parent, a crime so atrocious to be perceived by the public opinion, now as much as in the past, “unnatural” or better even “against-natur”, on the basis of a kind of self-protection mechanism
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
