The Labor Market of Italian Politicians
No full textThe ruling class plays a major role in society. Historically, economists devoted far less attention than sociologists to the study of ruling classes. Using the theoretical tools of economists, this volume provides an understanding of what drives the formation of a ruling class, and the relationship between politics and business firms. Focusing on Italy, it uses labour economics to analyse the selection of the ruling class, and the labour market of politicians. It uses detailed information on personal characteristics, incomes, performance in office, and career paths (both before and after the Parliamentary mandate) of all the politicians elected to the Italian Lower Chamber (Camera) between 1948 and 2008. This is the first time that this information has been gathered and summarized in key indicators
Il progetto nel contesto storicizzato. Esempi a confronto
No full textIl volume raccoglie gli atti del convegno “Il progetto nel contesto storicizzato. Esempi a confronto” (Pescia, 17 maggio del 2008), promosso dal “gruppo fiorentino” del costituendo ISUF Italia. Il convegno ha costituito il momento conclusivo di un workshop di progettazione rivolto a studenti e dottorandi provenienti da sei Facoltà italiane di Architettura e Ingegneria, sul tema comune di “Aramo e le dieci castella della Svizzera Pesciatina”. La comparazione tra i progetti elaborati nel workshop e il dibattito tra coloro che hanno preso parte al convegno ha consentito di mettere a confronto le diverse teorie e gli eterogenei metodi con i quali oggi le “scuole” di architettura presenti nel nostro paese operano nel contesto della città storica. Dai contributi contenuti nel volume emerge distintamente la comune convinzione che oggi non sia più accettabile intervenire sul patrimonio edilizio, urbano e paesaggistico in assenza di un quadro cognitivo esauriente. È la conoscenza del “contesto” da parte di coloro che vi operano che dovrebbe infatti far da guida e da verifica delle scelte progettuali adottate
Adaptive mobile computing: advances in processing mobile data sets
No full textAdaptive Mobile Computing: Advances in Processing Mobile Data Sets explores the latest advancements in producing, processing and securing mobile data sets. The book provides the elements needed to deepen understanding of this trend which, over the last decade, has seen exponential growth in the number and capabilities of mobile devices. The pervasiveness, sensing capabilities and computational power of mobile devices have turned them into a fundamental instrument in everyday life for a large part of the human population. This fact makes mobile devices an incredibly rich source of data about the dynamics of human behavior, a pervasive wireless sensors network with substantial computational power and an extremely appealing target for a new generation of threats. © 2017 Elsevier Inc.

Introduction to the Sahara: The Romance and Mystery of the Desert
No full textThe Sahara as a whole is a contested space with different meanings and identities generated both from within and imposed by external actors. This chapter discusses the nature, background and history of this contested space, focusing on its physical landscape and evolution, and the ways in which varied human activities have been shaped by, and in turn have shaped, its range of landscapes and multiple identities

The formation volume in rare earth intermetallic systems: A representation by means of atomic physical quantities
No full textThe formation of the intermetallic phases is often accompanied by large volume effects, and several interpretations of this phenomenon have been proposed following different approaches, either from a simply empirical or purely theoretical point of view. In his pioneering work, Biltz (Biltz 1934) employed the experimental density values to list the molar volumes of the elements and of numerous inorganic and organic solids, including intermetallic phases. The systematic analysis of the data allowed the scientist to estimate the effective volumes of the atoms within the compounds, making possible the application of the volume additivity. Machlin studied the effects of electronegativity on energy and volume of formation, assuming that the volume corrections depend on the Gordy electronegativity difference (Machlin 1980). Watson and Bennett obtained 82a good correlation between the volume effects shown by the phases of the transition elements and a scale resembling the Gordy electronegativity, while a cellular method was applied to estimate the volume changes in phases with alkaline and alkaline earth metals (Watson and Bennett 1982, 1984). Alonso showed that a model of a disordered binary alloy of nontransition metals explains the tendency to a negative deviation from Vegard’s law as this lowers the energy of formation (Alonso et al. 1984). In the Miedema model (Miedema and Niessen 1982), the volume contraction in metallic systems can be ascribed to a charge transfer effect, described mainly by the differences both in an electronegativity-like scale (F*) and in the electron density parameter (nWS). Moreover, in systems with atoms of different radius, a further volume contraction may arise from elastic size mismatch energy. The differences in electronegativity are ignored in the Hafner approach, based on the lowest-order pseudopotential perturbation theory (Hafner 1985). This method provides good results for extended solid solutions of homovalent systems (intra-alkaline and intra-alkaline-earth alloys) and for some intermetallics of the cited elements. A phenomenological approach was used to describe the volume effects displayed by the intermetallic compounds formed by alkaline earths (Ca, Sr, Ba) and divalent rare earths (Eu, Yb) (Merlo 1988) and by the trivalent rare earths (Merlo and Fornasini 1993), introducing a charge transfer atomic parameter, correlated with Pauling’s electronegativity. More recently, the volume contractions of the binary phases of Ca, Sr, Ba, Eu and Yb were represented by a simple equation containing the electronegativity, the compressibility and the group number (Fornasini and Merlo 2006). The most advanced method is based on the calculation of partial atomic volumes and charges as a function of composition (Baranov et al. 2007)
