No full textFactional conflict and political struggle in southern italian cities and towns
No full textIn the second half of the fifteenth century the towns of the Kingdom of Naples show high political tension. The fight for governmental functions emerges among the citizens in urban areas but also outside of them, where groups of exiles aim to coordinate institutional changes. This struggle, which will last until the Spanish conquest, inherit the ancient class rivalry, hidden by the conflict between Angevin and Aragonese for domination in the Kingdom. This vivid context allows real political parties to operate both in the biggest cities and in the smallest communities; their life is guaranteed by the social fabric and the topography of the cities. Through an in-depth analysis of the unpublished documents, the author provides a detailed representation of these political dynamics, in which the monarchy often seems an item exploited by the factions, rather than a control body or a repressive instrument

Geografie signorili e "riuso" dello spazio politico. I feudi dei Caetani nel quadro degli equilibri territoriali tra monarchia aragonese e stati baronali di Terra di Lavoro
No full textAttraverso una lettura delle sue dinamiche geopolitiche, ricostruite per mezzo della valorizzazione delle poche fonti reperibili, l’autore chiarisce la logica degli assetti feudali che distinsero il territorio campano tra la prima e la seconda metà del XV secolo. Ne emerge una rappresentazione inedita dello spazio dei poteri nell’antica provincia di Terra di Lavoro, giocata tra la necessità della Corona di dilatare e omogeneizzare le aree demaniali e l’interesse, da parte delle signorie feudali, di razionalizzare la geografia dei propri “stati”.
Through a reading of its geopolitical dynamics, reconstructed through the enhancement of the few sources available, the author explains the logic of the feudal structures that distinguished the Campania region between the first and second half of the fifteenth century. An unprecedented representation of the space of powers emerges in the ancient province of Terra di Lavoro, played between the need of the Crown to expand and homogenize the state-owned areas and the interest, on the part of the feudal lords, to rationalize the geography of their "states "

Geological and structural map of the southeastern Pag Island, Croatia: field constraints on the Cretaceous - Eocene evolution of the Dinarides foreland
No full textThe sedimentary succession exposed in the Northern Dalmatia Islands mainly consists of Cretaceous to Neogene shallow water carbonates, folded and imbricated within the External Dinarides thrust belt. During Cretaceous times, carbonate sediments were deposed on a heterogeneous, tectonically-influenced carbonate platform, which was then uplifted and eroded, as evidenced by a regional unconformity embracing the Late Cretaceous and Paleocene. Sedimentation resumed during the Eocene, when the area was part of the foreland basin of the Dinaric belt. With our geological and structural map of the southeastern Pag Island at the 1:25,000 scale, we refined the stratigraphic and structural setting and the tectono- sedimentary evolution of the area.Applied Geolog
Leveraging Efficient Transformer Quantization for CodeGPT: A Post-Training Analysis
No full textThe significant advancements in large language models have enabled their use in various applications, such as in code auto-completion. However, the deployment of such models often encounters challenges due to their large size and prohibitive running costs. In this research, we investigate the effectiveness of post-training quantization techniques in compressing a CodeGPT model, specifically using the "Per-embedding-group" and "Mixed precision" post-training quantization methods. Our evaluation is done on the code completion task of the CodeXGLUE benchmark using the Edit Similarity and Exact Match metrics, offering a comprehensive understanding of the impact of post-training quantization on the accuracy of the model. We also compare our results with three other compression approaches for the same model. From our analysis, we find that CodeGPT is very resilient to quantization noise, allowing the model to be compressed by 4 times its size with negligible accuracy loss. Furthermore, post-training quantization seems to be the best option for compressing the CodeGPT model when accuracy is a priority. Our work only simulates post-training quantization to draw conclusions on its performance on accuracy, future work should analyze the inference speed and memory use at runtime on such a post-trained quantized model.CSE3000 Research ProjectComputer Science and Engineerin
Analysis of fracture network geometries and orientations within a fold-and-thrust structure in the Northern Apennines, Italy
No full textThis research focuses on fracture networks in sedimentary rocks within the Umbria-Marche fold-and-thrust belt in the Northern Apennines, Italy. The aim of this research is twofold, namely to correlate the geometry of fracture networks with tectonic position and lithology and to correlate the orientation of fracture networks with the origination of a fold-and-thrust structure. The fold-and-thrust belt within the area strikes about N160° and developed in the Miocene within a compressional regime as the result of the collision between the European Corsica-Sardinia Margin and the Adriatic plate, accompanied by back-arc extension due to rollback. In order to analyze geometries of fracture networks software named DigiFract is used to digitize outcrops in the field. Fracture orientation, density, spacing, height and termination are analysed for different lithologies within the Umbria-Marche succession. Orientations of fracture sets are correlated to different structural stages during the development of the fold-and-trust structure. The first stage in which fractures develop is layer parallel shortening, during which bedding-normal pressure-solution surfaces develop, striking parallel to the hinge line. Subsequently, longitudinal joints striking parallel to the hinge line develop during fold initiation. This is followed by amplification and tightening of the fold, causing development of transversal joints, striking perpendicular to the hinge line. In theory, fold limbs are preferred sites for deformation within an active-hinge fault-related anticline, rather than the corresponding anticlinal crests (Salvini and Storti, 2001; Salvini and Storti, 2004). Our data is not substantial to proof this theory, but is in accordance to it. Chert, primarily present in the Maiolica Fm and the Diasprini Fm, and marl, present in the Bisciaro Fm, act as non-fractured or very low density-boundary between fractured beddings. Siliclastic turbidites are less fractured than carbonates at similar tectonic positions.Applied GeologyGeoscience & EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
