Measurements in a Carousel (Metingen in een Carrousel)
No full textThis report is essentially a report of the measurements in the carousel of the laboratory for Fluid Mechanics of the Delft University of Technology made accessible for a slightly wider public. A comprehensive documentation about the considered investigation, both concerning the theoretical background and concerning the elaboration of the experimental evidence can be found in: Booij, R., (1994), "Measurements of the flow field in a rotating annular flume ", Communications on Hydraulic and Geotechnical Engineering, report no. 94-2, Laboratory for Fluid Mechanics, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Delft University of Technology. To make the report more widely accessible a short explanation and description of the contents of every subdivision in English is added. The original text in Dutch by M.M.L. Melis is retained because an integral translation would be too time consuming. The added pages with English text are numbered El, etc.Hydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
Sull'origine delle terre rosse in Sardegna: gli elementi in traccia nella caratterizzazione di suoli e rocce madri
No full textThe trace elements in the characterization or red soils and parent rocks.
The genesis of red soils (Terre Rosse) formed on limestone or dolomite rock bed is yet an unsolved
question. A theory suggests that these soils are the final step of an intense decarbonation process of
the parent rock followed by the change of the materials in the insoluble residue into iron oxides
and clay minerals.
A number of trace elements, most1y transition metals, was determined in Sardinian Terre Rosse and
parent rocks by instrumental neutron activation analysis performing different irradiations in the
TRIGA Mark II nuclear reactor of the University of Pavia. Induced radioactivity measurement was
carried out by gamma-ray spectrometry using a High Purity germanium detector coupled to an
analyzer-computer system. The same elements were also determined in some standard reference
rocks, released by United States Geological Survey, in order to evaluate the accuracy of the
employed analytical method.
Average values of the trace element content in the Terre Rosse and in the parent rocks are presented
and discussed, together with the evaluation of precision and accuracy. Trace element profiles at
different horizons are reported as well. A comparison of trace element distribution among soils
belonging to the same geological era is also presented

Costituzione e amministrazione / Constitution and Administration
No full textNella Costituzione italiana soltanto due articoli, 97 e 98, trattano esplicitamente di pubblica
amministrazione. Anche se questa materia appare indirettamente in alcuni altri punti del testo,
tuttavia i costituenti hanno dato poca attenzione alla questione. I membri dell’assemblea non avevano
alcuna esperienza, o studi relativi al mondo e alla cultura degli uffici pubblici. Persino i partiti
politici erano poco esperti in materia. Il dibattito sull’Amministrazione pubblica andò avanti con
assenza di partecipazione e poco seguito. Tutto l’utile lavoro compiuto dalle due commissioni Fortis
(dalla seconda in particolare) vennero ignorati in previsione dell’emanazione della Costituzione.
Massimo Severo Giannini, che cercò di introdurre la consapevolezza delle grandi trasformazioni
avvenute negli anni 30 nel campo delle pubbliche autorità, non venne chiamato a partecipare
all’Assemblea costituente. Pur essendo il capo di gabinetto al Ministero per l’Assemblea costituente,
il suo contributo rimase l’unico. Dal punto di vista dell’attenzione allo stato amministrativo, alle
nuove agenzie pubbliche, allo Stato imprenditoriale, la Costituzione nacque già vecchia.In the Italian Constitution only two articles, 97 and 98, are explicitly about Public Administration.
Even if this subject appears indirectly in some other points of the text, but in general the constituents
gave few attention to this issue. The members of the assembly did not have any experiences,
or studies, about the world and culture of public office. Even the political parties were outside
this topic. The debate about Public Administration went on with lack of participation and modest
follow ups. All the profitable work made by the two Fortis committees (by the second in particular)
had been ignored in anticipation of the Constitution. Massimo Severo Giannini, who tried to
introduce the consciousness of all the great transformations during the 30s in public authorities
field, hadn’t been elected in Assembly. Even if he was chief of staff at the Ministry for constituent
Assembly his contribution remained the only one. From the point of view of the attention to the
administrative state, to new public agencies, to the imprenditorial state, the Constitution was born
already old
Unmasking Lies: Advancements In Deception Detection Techniques
No full textPursuing truth through the unmasking of deception has consistently engaged the scientific community and the general public. This work delves into the intricate domain of lie detection, integrating various methodologies and theories to provide a comprehensive view of the challenges and potential of studying deceit within contemporary society. This dissertation unfolds across three distinct projects, each focusing on a unique approach to detecting deception in different scenarios: self-report assessment questionnaires, workplace drug testing, and face-to-face investigative interviews.
The first project examines using the Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) index to detect lies within personality questionnaires. Departing from traditional methods that construct comprehensive simulation profiles through control scales, this approach focuses on the detailed analysis of specific responses to identify instances of deceit at the single-item level. The project tests the efficacy of TF-IDF in discerning authentic from fabricated responses, offering a novel analytical tool for forensic psychology. To validate this methodology, three experiments were conducted in "faking good" scenarios, where participants are incentivized to present themselves in an overly positive manner. The results were notably promising: the TF-IDF model effectively distinguished between genuine and counterfeit responses. These findings open new avenues for research in forensic psychology, suggesting that TF-IDF could be a valuable tool for addressing complex challenges like detecting deception in questionnaires at the item level.
The second research project offers a preliminary analysis of drug use in workplaces and methods for its detection. The study investigates standard biological drug testing procedures and their legal and ethical implications, as well as the effectiveness of questionnaire-based tests for substance abuse detection, particularly highlighting their limitations in accuracy due to the possibility of deceptive responses. The research emphasizes the need for more innovative methodologies to effectively tackle this increasingly significant workplace safety concern. In response, this project focuses on introducing and validating a methodology based on the kinematic analysis of mouse movements. This method hypothesizes that mouse movements during responses to double-choice questions can reveal behavioral patterns associated with lying. Applied here, the research aims to detect deceptive responses in workplace drug tests through two online experiments, comparing behaviors of drug-using and non-drug-using employees and exploring the potential of this analysis to understand the mental processes involved in generating deceitful responses.
The third project delves into identity deception, a specific form of deceit where individuals intentionally conceal their identity, impersonate others, or use counterfeit identity documents. This type of deceit, which poses a serious threat to national security, has been exacerbated in the digital age, facilitating terrorists and criminals in evading security protocols, as evidenced by the use of false identities in terrorist attacks. To address this challenge, this research employed techniques such as the method of unexpected questions, utilizing the difficulty liars face in responding to unforeseen queries, and reaction time analyses in face-to-face investigative interviews. Machine learning analyses in this study offer insights into detecting individuals who lie achieving a remarkable level of accuracy.
In conclusion, this dissertation offers a multifaceted perspective on deception detection, highlighting the incorporation of computational tools to augment the accuracy of lie detection in diverse scenarios. This comprehensive exploration not only advances the scientific understanding of deceit but also addresses the practical implications and challenges in detecting lies
Prima e dopo la Costituente: il governo debole
No full textLa parola «governo» inteso come istituto nello Statuto albertino non c’è.
Appare nel dibattito di fine secolo, che risente dei modelli europei. La guerra
mondiale è l’epoca del governo-protagonista. La riforma esalta la Presidenza
del consiglio, mentre spinge ai margini il Parlamento. Negli anni pre-costituenti
il tema ritorna ma è marginale. Vezio Crisafulli scrive nel 1944 e poi nel 1945
che il regime pre-Costituzione soffre di una difettosa legittimazione, perché
esiste un governo senza Parlamento. Giorgio Amendola vede la legittimazione
del governo nel CLN. Ma poi questa idea viene accantonata. Tra gli azionisti
Calamandrei pensa a un governo forte, ma compensato dalle autonomie. I
socialisti oscillano, con l’eccezione di Massimo Severo Giannini, l’unico che
guarda anche all’apparato di governi cioè all’amministrazione. I cattolici trascurano
per lo più il governo. In Costituente prevalgono due preoccupazioni:
evitare l’instabilità governativa ma anche scongiurare il governo tiranno.Before and After the Constituent Assembly: the Weak Government.
The word «Government», understood as institution, is not used in the
Statuto Albertino. It began to appear in scholarly debate at the end of the
1800s, influenced by other European models. The First World War was the era
of «leading governments». The reform magnified the Presidency of the Cabinet,
with the Parliament becoming relegated to the sidelines. During the years
before the Constituent Assembly, the topic re-emerged, but only in a marginal
way. In 1944, and again in 1945, Vezio Crisafulli wrote that the pre-Constitution
regime suffered from a defect in legitimation, because the Government
ruled without a Parliament. Giorgio Amendola believed that such legitimation
could be found in the C.L.N. However, the Constituent Assembly left this idea
aside. Calamandrei considered the introduction of a strong government, which
would be balanced by local autonomies. Among the Socialists, Massimo
Severo Giannini was the only one to also consider the government’s apparatus,
that is the public administration. The Catholics mostly ignored the
question of the government. Within the Constituent Assembly, two concerns
prevailed: first, to avoid government instability, and at the same time, to avoid
the risk of a tyrannical government from developing
