    Continuous vs. discontinuous garnet growth in mylonitic micaschists from northeastern Sardinia, Italy: Evidence from LA-ICPMS trace element mapping

    Garnet with complex, discontinuous zoning is a common occurrence in metamorphic terrains, and the rela tionship between major and trace element zoning can provide insight into the metamorphic evolution of the host rock. Mylonitic micaschists along the Posada-Asinara Shear Zone in the Axial Zone of the Sardinia Variscan chain contain garnet porphyroblasts, enveloped by the S2 schistosity, with distinct core and rim domains. A large garnet porphyroblasts was investigated by laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA ICPMS) mapping. The major element compositional variation follows a bell-shaped zoning, with Ca and Mn contents progressively decreasing, and Fe and Mg increasing, from the core to the outer rim. LA-ICPMS mapping revealed a thin and sharp annular enrichment zone in Y, Sc, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm at the mantle-rim boundary. The trace element (TE) compositional profiles show a central enrichment area for HREE (Tm, Yb, Lu). This enrich ment decreases progressively, as a function of atomic number, for Er, Ho and Dy. Elements with even lower atomic number (Tb, Gd, Eu and Sm), are depleted in this central domain, but their content increases in broad shoulders towards the garnet rim. The position of these lateral shoulders migrates progressively rimwards with decreasing atomic number. The REE distribution, trend and behavior in the growth zones of the garnet is an example of TE control during a continuous growth ruled by diffusion-limited REE uptake. The Y + HREE annular enrichment zone, interpreted as resulting from a decrease in the garnet growth rate, reflects a short-lived episode in the garnet growth history

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    L’invenzione propone un nuovo metodo per ottenere resilienza ai guasti durante la risoluzione di sistemi lineari in ambienti paralleli ad alte prestazioni, minimizzando l’occupazione di memoria e senza incorrere negli svantaggi delle tradizionali tecniche di checkpoint/restart.The subject of the patent is a method for HPC able to lend fault tolerance to the solution of linear systems of equations, minimizing the memory footprint. Indeed, we propose an in-place optimization that also overcomes the issues of traditional checkpoint/restart techniques

    Imparare le lingue per abbracciare il mondo

    L’autrice che si colloca, come Daniela Zorzi, tra i fautori di una linguistica “impegnata”, propone in ricordo della studiosa amica, una riflessione sul ruolo cruciale del multilinguismo e delle lingue- culture, per il successo professionale e il benessere sociale, nella società contemporanea. Il multilinguismo appare come un’urgenza educativa che interpella studiosi e formatori a tutti i livelli al fine di promuovere nei giovani un apprendimento consapevole efficace ed autonomo.Multilingualism constitutes an urgent objective for education, which needs to involve teachers and researchers at all levels if we are to promote effective and autonomous learning in the young. Like Daniela Zorzi, the author considers herself a socially engaged linguist, and in memory of her friend’s work, offers a reflection on the key roles of languages and cultures and of multilingualism for professional success and social welfare today

    “Ministro di pace” o spia onorevole ? Scritti sull’ambasciatore nel tardo Seicento italiano

    No full text
    Il saggio offre una prima analisi della letteratura politica e giuridica italiana di fine Seicento in tema di ambasciatori e diritto delle genti, con riferimento agli scritti (fra gli altri) di Giovan Battista De Luca e di Carlo Maria Carafa. Cerca anche di offrire alcuni elementi di comparazione fra questi scritti e le categorie politiche dell'epoca, e tra la produzione italiana e gli scritti europei sul tema (Wicquefort, Leti)

    Reclamações ambientais em Aveiro, Portugal: atores, preocupações, padrão territorial e resoluções

    No full text
    This paper presents an environmental diagnosis based on public complaints on environmental issues submitted to the Environmental Department of the Aveiro City Council, Portugal, between 2000 and 2005. It discusses the potential influences of these in local environmental planning and governance. The paper has been organised into five sections. The first of these introduces the study. The second section focuses on the conceptual approaches relating to environmental grassroots movements, the main actors involved in these movements and the role played by local government. It also contains a brief review of the most recent urban environmental quality challenges in the European context together with a description of the main features of the associated political and legal framework in Portugal. The third section describes the case study and the methodology used. The results of the empirical study are detailed in the fourth section. The final section critically analyses these results with emphases on the temporal evolution of the submission of complaints, the actors involved, the local environmental problems and their associated spatial pattern as well as the responses given by the City Council. This information may then be used to provide a useful indicator for the perception of environmental quality as well as a credible instrument for the visualisation and evaluation of local performance in terms of environmental planning and management.AlBan Programme - n.

    Massimo Quaini, bricoleur. Su un libro che avrebbe potuto essere e non fu

    No full text
    Questo articolo contiene il testo di una e-mail che ho ricevuto da Massimo Quaini nel 2017, con la quale rispondeva al mio invito a partecipare alla quarta edizione dei Dialoghi tra geografia e filosofia, un seminario ‘dialogico’ che organizzo dal 2014 per favorire la discussione tra geografi e filosofi. A causa della sua malattia, sfortunatamente Quaini non è stato in grado di partecipare al seminario, ma mi ha scritto un’e-mail in cui mi invitava a scrivere un libro a quattro mani con lui. Questa e-mail è uno degli ultimi documenti scritti da Quaini: vi si trovano molte delle sue idee sul paesaggio, così come diverse riflessioni sull’identità e sul futuro della geografia e molto altro. Per questo motivo ho pensato che renderla pubblica potesse essere il modo migliore per onorarne la memoria

    The subject of this article is the issue of the historicity of the figure of Daniel, who is the main character of the biblical book bearing his name. The question of whether Daniel is a historical or just a literary figure is important because it influences the exegesis of the text of the Book of Daniel. First, the author will indicate the reasons for questioning the historicity of Daniel, and then he will present different approaches to interpreting the content of the Book of Daniel.Przedmiotem artykułu jest kwestia historyczności postaci Daniela, który jest głównym bohaterem księgi biblijnej noszącej jego imię. Pytanie o to, czy Daniel jest postacią historyczną, czy tylko literacką, jest ważne z tego powodu, że ma wpływ na egzegezę tekstu Księgi Daniela. Najpierw autor wskaże powody, na podstawie których podważa się historyczność Daniela, a następnie przedstawi różne podejścia w interpretacji treści Księgi Daniela
