Interview with William George Pepe
No full textBill Pepe became a member of the US Army Corps of Engineers in October of 1942. He received extensive training at Officer's Candidate School at Fort Belvoir, while stationed with the 297th Combat Engineer Battalion in Georgia, and while serving at Omaha, Nebraska. Pepe was also assigned to the 5th Engineers Special Brigade at Camp Shenango, Pennsylvania. He was present during the invasion of Normandy and saw military action throughout the European Theater. Pepe later participated in battles in the Philippines and at the Gulf of Lingaya. During one convoy cruise he was aboard the Naval Flag Ship Santa Sacia [sic]

The Genres of Rhetorical Speeches in Greek and Roman Antiquity
No full textIn The Genres of Rhetorical Speeches in Greek and Roman Antiquity, Cristina Pepe offers a complete overview of the concept of speech genre within ancient rhetoric. By analyzing sources dating from the 5th-4th century BC, the author proves that the well-known classification in three rhetorical genres (deliberative, judicial, epideictic), introduced by Aristotle, was rooted in the debate concerning the forms and functions of the art of persuasion in classical Athens. Genres play a leading role in Aristotle’s Rhetoric, and the analysis of considerable sections of the treatise shows profound links between the characterization of the rhetorical genres and Aristotelian philosophy as a whole. Finally, the volume explores the developments of the theory of genres in Hellenistic and Imperial rhetoric
A Note on Converse Lyapunov Theorems for Neutral Systems
No full textWe provide various extensions of recent results on the existence of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals for uncertain systems described by neutral functional differential equations.We consider nonlinear neutral delay systems for which the difference operator and the right-hand side of the differential equations are Lipschitz on bounded sets

The NW sector of the Sicily Channel: geometry and evolution of inverted structural lineaments
Full text linkThe 3-D trend of anticline axial planes, fault planes and surfaces has been reconstructed in the offshore area between
the Egadi Islands and the Sciacca High from the interpretation of multichannel seismic reflection profiles and well data
(available from the VIDEPI project database). In particular, isopach maps generated for the five seismic units of age
between Cretaceous and Quaternary allowed highlighting the space-time migration of the tectonic processes. The
western portion of the studied area covers the submerged prolongation of the inner sector of the Sicilian-Maghrebian
chain, limited in the NW and in the SE by two tectonic lineaments running along the western and eastern margins of the
Adventure Bank: the Maghrebian Thrust Front and Adventure Thrust Front, respectively (see Argnani et al., 1986). The
eastern portion is characterized by transpressive zones orientated NNE-SSW identifying the Separation Belt that partly
corresponds to the foreland area which contains the Gela Nappe Thrust.
Age constraints indicate that contraction related to the Sicilian-Maghrebian fold and thrust belt migrated
progressively towards the southeast. The emplacement of the western front is attributable to the Middle-Upper Miocene
while that of the eastern front is Plio-Pleistocene. Within this tectonic framework, two tectonic basins were identified on
the basis of the different trend, age and evolution. The Adventure foredeep exhibits the maximum thickness of 500 m in
correspondence of the Adventure Plateau. Here, the younger Gela foredeep displays minor depth showing a thickness
increase towards the Gela Nappe and the Pantelleria graben.
Positive inversion structures form by the Plio-Pleistocene compressional reactivation of preexisting structures
limiting the Saccense and Trapanese domains were recognized the offshore sector between Mazara and Sciacca.
Moreover, a correlation between the Campobello di Mazara-Castelvetrano alignment as proposed by Barreca et al.,
2013, Ferranti et al., this meeting, and the tectonic units recognized in their offshore prolongation has been recognized.
Therefore, we propose that in this area contractional tectonics is still active (see also Pepe et al., this meeting), and
occurs on high-angle, NW-dipping crustal ramps (Monaco et al., 1996)
