Marmi di reimpiego nella cosiddetta cripta dei SS. Eleuterio e Ponziano a Velletri
No full textL’intervento presenta i risultati dello studio degli elementi di decorazione architettonica – fino ad oggi pressoché inediti – reimpiegati nella cd. cripta dei Ss. Eleuterio e Ponziano, all’interno della cattedrale di San Clemente a Velletri. L’analisi formale di tali arredi rappresenta il prerequisito per avviare tentativi di ricontestualizzazione, nell’ambito di un più generale riesame della topografia della città veliterna in epoca romana. Variamente datati, gli spolia indagati appaiono, infatti, di estremo interesse in una duplice prospettiva di indagine: sia nel caso, cioè, che essi rappresentino una delle rare attestazioni degli originari apparati decorativi di edifici, oggi perduti, della città laziale, sia nel caso, peraltro non isolato nell’ambito della stessa città, che essi provengano, piuttosto, da altre località dei Colli Albani o del Lazio.This paper presents the results of a study of unpublished decorative architectural elements which have been re-used within the so-called crypt of St. Eleuterius and Ponzianus, in Saint Clement Cathedral, Velletri. The formal analysis of these marbles is a prerequisite for any attempt to re-contextualize them in the frame of a more general new examination of the topography of the city in Roman period. These spolia, which are variously dated, present two distinct and interesting research questions. The first of these involves the possibility that they represent one of the rare original decorative elements of Roman monuments which have not otherwise been preserved. The second involves the opportunity – elsewhere already observed in the same city – to examine whether the re-used
marbles come from different sites in the Alban Hills areas or in Latium
PONTI AD ARCHI GEMELLI IN PROVINCIA DI TERAMO: PROVE DINAMICHE E IDENTIFICAZIONE
No full textQuesto lavoro riguarda l’utilizzo di prove dinamiche in operational conditions per l’identificazione e la successiva validazione di modelli a elementi finiti.
Le prove dinamiche hanno avuto il duplice scopo di costituire il termine di riferimento in relazione a prove future previste nell’ambito di un programma di monitoraggio strutturale e di consentire, contestualmente, l’identificazione dei parametri e la validazione di modelli a elementi finiti. Fenomeni di veering
delle frequenze di due modi successivi sono stati evidenziati in due casi e gli aspetti teorici sono stati analizzati nel contesto della teoria classica delle oscillazioni lineari
Updating the water budget of the Gran Sasso carbonate fractured/karstified aquifer (Central Italy) for a sustainable management of groundwater resources
No full textKarst aquifers are fundamental in the water supply of European countries, where outcrops of carbonate rocks are very common, providing abundant groundwater resources. The Gran Sasso karst aquifer, selected as representative study area for Italy in the EU-funded KARMA project, is characterized by both high percentage of withdrawals for drinking purposes and significant interaction between groundwater and underground works. The recharge evaluation of the aquifer has been carried out considering the 2001–2020 monitoring period, comparing three different methods: the Turc and APLIS methods, on annual scale, and the Thornthwaite method, on monthly scale, territorially distributed by 100 x 100 m cells on GIS basis. The total recharge considers not only rainfall but also the contribution of snow melting on infiltration. The results show similar mean recharge values in 2001–2020 for all methods, corresponding to 19.9, 18.5, and 19.4 m3/s, respectively, from Turc, Thornthwaite, and APLIS methods. A significant contribution to recharge from snowmelt has been confirmed (3.2 m3/s included in the above-mentioned values). These values can be considered reliable with respect to real discharge of the regional aquifer. The obtained results can be used to provide updated information to the drinking water companies for a suitable management of the available resource
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Modulation of Light and Nitrogen for Quality-Traits Improvement: A Case Study of Altino Sweet Pepper
No full textLocal varieties are known to cope more efficiently with stressful and/or low-input conditions than cultivated ones by activating secondary metabolisms and, hence, are supposed to have higher nutraceutical potential. In this work, we investigate the effects of N and light, supplied at optimal and sub-optimal levels, on the fruit yield and quality of a local ecotype of sweet pepper, Altino, grown in the Abruzzo Region (Southern Italy). In 2017, two open-field experiments were carried out, comparing increasing N rates (0, 100 and 200 kg N ha(-1), 0_N, 100_N and 200_N, respectively) and different percentages of shading and/or manipulations of the transmitted solar radiation, obtained through photoselective nets (red net, RN; black net, BN; unshaded Control). Both N and light were preconditions to obtain stable yields in terms of both fruit number and fruit weights. However, BN significantly reduced the number of sunscalded fruits (0.39 vs. 3.38 and 2.59 fruit plant(-1) for BN, Control and RN, respectively), leading to lower waste. N deficiency favoured higher total polyphenol (TPC) and flavonoid (TFC) contents in ripened fruits; on the other hand, shading significantly reduced TPC (-12.4%) in immature and TFC (-18.2%) in red fruits. The variations in nutraceuticals were also evaluated in terms of the variations of the single phenolic acids in fruits during ripening; the most interesting results were associated with light treatments. Further research should be directed to the in-depth study of nutrition regimes, in combination with other photoselective nets applications (i.e., pearl nets), that could be suitable for the Altino genotype to enhance the yield and nutraceutical potentials of its fruits
Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation
No full textThe desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
John F. Kennedy telegram to Roosevelt
No full textJersey Homesteads (later the Borough of Roosevelt) was established in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative community. It was established specifically for urban Jewish garment workers, many of whom had emigrated from Europe. President John F. Kennedy sent a telegram to the citizens of Roosevelt, New Jersey, apologizing for not being able to attend the memorial dedication in honor of former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. (Jersey Homesteads became Roosevelt in 1945 in honor of the president.) President Kennedy expressed his gratitude to the people of Roosevelt for constructing the memorial, and commented that it will serve as a constant reminder of Roosevelt's good works
