Comparative Constitutional History. Volume 1: Principles, Developments, Challenges
No full textWhile comparative constitutional law is a well-established field, less attention has been paid so far to the comparative dimension of constitutional history. The present volume, edited by Francesco Biagi, Justin O. Frosini and Jason Mazzone, aims to address this shortcoming by bringing focus to comparative constitutional history, which holds considerable promise for engaging and innovative work along several key avenues of inquiry. The essays contained in this volume focus on the origins and design of constitutional governments and the sources that have impacted the ways in which constitutional systems began and developed, the evolution of the principle of separation of powers among branches of government, as well as the origins, role and function of constitutional and supreme courts
Introduction
No full textThe chapters in this volume demonstrate that comparative constitutional history holds considerable promise for engaging and innovative work along several key avenues of inquiry, namely the origins and design of constitutional governments, the evolution of the principle of separation of powers, as well as the origins and role of supreme and constitutional courts

Introduction
No full textThree chapters (Part 1— Framing the Problem) set the stage with close consideration
of the roles and limits of history in constitutional adjudication. The next two chapters (Part 2— Historical Precedents and Inter- Constitutional Interpretation) offer a close analysis of courts engaging with legally authoritative sources from the past. Three chapters (Part 3— A Matter of Narratives) explore uses of historical materials and narratives by courts in individual countries. The final two chapters (Part 4— New Democracies and Illiberal Regimes) in the volume concern the role of history in constitutional adjudication in new democracies and illiberal political regimes

Ground-state energy of many-electron systems from x-ray-scattering cross sections
No full textIn the nonrelativistic limit and for a purely electrostatic Hamiltonian, an exact relation between the ground-state energy of a crystal and the x-ray-scattering cross section has been derived which allows us to distinguish static from dynamical (exchange and correlation) contributions. With the use of this relation and the corresponding one valid in the case of an isolated atom, it is possible to calculate the cohesive energy of a crystalline substance. Available x-ray cross-section data have been used to calculate the cohesive energy of Be, Si, Al, and Cu. In the case of Be, agreement of calculated cohesive energy with the thermochemical value is obtained if exchange and correlation contributions are included. For the other solids, a substantial disagreement increasing with atomic number has been evidenced. Poor agreement of calculated cohesive energies with thermochemical values is presumably to be attributed to a lack of sufficiently comprehensive sets of measured cross sections

The Separation of Powers and Forms of Government in the MENA Region following the “Arab Spring”: A Break with the Past?
No full textThis chapter examines the separation of powers and forms of government in North Africa and the Middle East following the “Arab Spring” and shows that most Arab constitutions still guarantee (albeit to a lesser extent than in the past) an extremely high concentration of power in the hands of the Head of State, thus favouring the continuation in office of illiberal regimes. This weak separation of powers is due to different reasons, including the constitutional tradition, the top-down constitution-making processes and the external influences. The only notable exception (at least for the moment) is Tunisia, which is already at an advanced stage in the process of democratization
Combining nadir and oblique UAV imagery to reconstruct quarry topography: methodology and feasibility analysis
No full textThe feasibility of unmanned-aerial-vehicle-based photogrammetry was assessed for the reconstruction of high-resolution topography and geomorphic features of quarries by nadir and off-nadir imagery. The test site was a quarry located in the rural area of Turi (Bari, southern Italy). Two processing scenarios were created. Nadir images were initially used, and images acquired with off-nadir angles were added. An accurate set of ground control points (GCPs) were surveyed for both georeferencing purposes and validation processes. In the reconstruction of the surfaces, an accuracy of a few centimeters was achieved in the final positioning of point clouds representing the main geometries of quarry environment. However, greatest differences were found along the edges or the lines characterized by sudden slope changes. To better understand such results, some characteristic quarry shapes depicted by both the scenarios were compared to those surveyed by a total station used as an independent benchmark technique. It allowed to define the benefits introduced by the joint use of nadir and oblique images in the delineation of quarry shapes, surface discontinuities and better descriptions of sub-vertical walls. Beside the evaluation of benefits introduced by use of oblique cameras, the effectiveness of the proposed methodology was also discussed with alternative technologies. Unmanned aerial platforms represent an effective solution, with the need for few accurate GCPs
