An Economic Assessment of the Impacts of the MOSE Barriers on Venice Port Activities
No full textDue to its hydro-geological features, the lagoon of Venice is especially vulnerable to climate change. In particular, it is strongly affected by gradual global warming that brings about the so-called ‘acqua alta’ (high water) phenomenon with greater frequency and intensity. In order to protect the city of Venice from the more and more frequent phenomenon of flooding, some protective measures have been adopted. Among them, the system of mobile barriers commonly known as MOSE: however, by separating the lagoon from the Adriatic Sea, it interferes with ship traffic and has negative impacts on port activities. Against this background, the aim of the present work is to provide an estimate of the direct costs of ship traffic interruption due to the functioning of the MOSE, i.e. the additional costs resulting from longer waiting time for ships passing through the Venice lagoon. The estimate uses inputs from the application of a specific hydrodynamic model and the elaboration of ship traffic data during the period 2000-2002. Results indicate that the additional costs would range between 347,943 and 1,288,067 €/year, depending on the hypothesis assumed.Climate Change, ‘Acqua Alta’, MOSE, Ship Traffic, Direct Costs
A Newly Identified Relief from the Tomb-Chapel of Mose at Saqqara
No full textA photograph has recently been found among the records left by Victor Loret following his discovery in 1898 of the tomb-chapel of Mose at Saqqara, of a relief still lying in situ, that does not appear in the publication of the tomb by Gaballa. The relief, very probably part of a limestone wall, is decorated with an offering scene showing a man, accompanied by a little procession, censing and libating before the Apis-bull in a shrine.
The author retraces the path of the relief from the art gallery of Maurice Nahman to the current location of its remaining left hand portion at the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum, San Jose
The discovery of the tomb of Mose and its "juridical" inscription
No full textThe history of the discovery of the tomb of Mose, renowned for its "juridical" inscription. The discovery was made in Saqqarah at the end of the Nineteenth Century by Victor Loret, whose notes, drawings and photographs are mostly kept in the Egyptological Archives of the University of Milan

No full textQual è il carattere della città europea agli inizi del nuovo millennio? Un paesaggio urbano continuo che tende ad aggregarsi in nuove grandi formazioni metropolitane o una costellazione d’identità irriducibili che imparano a competere tra le città-mondo? O forse queste due condizioni insediative insieme e simultanee? Città un tempo dominanti vedono ridimensionata la loro importanza, mentre acquisiscono centralità e assumono inediti ruoli territoriali le città di dimensioni intermedie ubicate in regioni di frontiera, in territori di nuovo sviluppo o in corrispondenza di snodi di reti brevi e lunghe che si stanno formando in un nuovo spazio continentale. La geografia urbana tracciata dalla globalizzazione promuove taluni territori e ne marginalizza altri, ri-centralizza regioni dove emergono nuove soggettività urbane. Core cities, villes moyennes, città medie, pur nelle diversità delle accezioni linguistiche e delle specificità regionali, individuano nuovi assetti della centralità urbana, richiedendo ai Paesi europei di ripensare le agende politiche per lo svilupp

Shifts in cell electrical properties including membrane conductance, and cytoplasmic conductivity, and membrane capacitance are associated with the increasingly malignant phenotypes of the MOSE-E, MOSE-L, and MOSE-L<sub>TIC<i>ν</i></sub> cells.
No full textWhen the single-shell model was fit to experimental data from for cell individually, the paired kernel density estimates (KDE) of A: cytoplasmic conductivity (σcp) and membrane conductance (), B: cytoplasmic conductivity and membrane capacitance (), and C: membrane conductance and membrane capacitance demonstrate shifts in the dielectric phenotype associated with increasingly malignancy. Error bars are centered at the mean for the cell type and represent the standard deviation. Calculated for each cell, the MOSE-E, σcp = 0.78±0.41 S/m, S/cm2, and F/m2. For MOSE-L, σcp = 1.01±0.33 S/m, S/cm2, and F/m2. For MOSE-LTICν, σcp = 1.31±0.45 S/m, S/cm2, and F/m2. The Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm was uses for fitting data from individual cells.</p
