Manuale di diritto internazionale pubblico. Parte generale
No full textIl classico Manuale di diritto internazionale di Riccardo Monaco era fermo alla II edizione del 1971. La nuova II edizione, interamente riveduta ed aumentata, è pubblicata nel centenario della nascita di R. Monaco, scomparso nel 2000. Il volume si limita alla parte generale del diritto internazionale e costituisce tuttora il più ampio manuale che la dottrina italiana ha dedicato a questo settore di studi. Il volume è corredato da un imponente apparato bibliografico (generale e per tematiche), oltre che degli indici della giurisprudenza ed analitico
Non trivial chiroptical responses: experimental and theoretical investigations
No full textIn the past few years, our two groups of research have been collaborating on a number of projects
dealing with the assignment of the absolute configuration (AC) of complex chiral molecules of phar-
macological interest in the disordered phase. [1] These studies have been mainly carried out by means of
electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectroscopy and quantum mechanical (QM) calculations at the den-
sity functional theory (DFT) level of approximation. Particular attention has been payed to non-trivial
chiroptical responses due to conformational flexibility and solvation.
Beside these shared activities, some more specific research fields have been investigated too. In par-
ticular, the Bologna group has performed studies concerning the hyphenation of enantioselective HPLC
methods with detection systems based on ECD [2] and the characterization of biomolecular recognition
phenomena between drugs and target or carrier macromolecules. [3] The Salerno group has developed
some skills in vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) [4] and chiral NMR [5] spectroscopies, thanks to the
availability of a VCD spectrometer and previous studies concerning the non-linear response of molecules
exposed to radiation.

DMT-based seismic liquefaction assessment accounting for the fines content effect: a case study in Emilia-Romagna, Italy
No full textSimplified methods for seismic liquefaction assessment based on the flat dilatometer test (DMT), in which the liquefaction triggering curve is defined based on the horizontal stress index (KD), have been proposed over the years. One major drawback of the existing methods, valid for clean sand, is the lack of a correction factor for the fines content. An updating of the empirical relationship CRR-KD proposed by Chiaradonna and Monaco (2022) to incorporate the effects of the fines content is currently under development and validation. This paper illustrates the results obtained from application of the new method at the site of San Carlo – Terre del Reno (Ferrara) located in the Emilia-Romagna plain (Italy), where widespread liquefaction occurred in the 2012 seismic sequence. A comprehensive site characterization from previous insitu
and laboratory tests carried out by various research groups is available for the sand, silty sand and sandy silt deposits in the San Carlo area. The performance of the new CRR-KD curve accounting for the fines content effect is compared with that obtained by adopting the “clean sand” curves proposed by Chiaradonna and Monaco (2022), as well as with that obtained by using the CPT-based method by Boulanger and Idriss (2014). Even though verified only for specific Italian soils in this area and requiring further field validation, the proposed approach appears as promising to improve the DMT-based
liquefaction assessment in silty sands

Abstract: Coarse woody debris (CWD) plays an important role in supporting biodiversity and
assisting ecological processes. Sometimes local people intervene modifying the expected distribution
of CWD components, harvested as fuel wood. The effect of the human accessibility (HA) on the
volume and characteristics of CWD (snag, downed log and stump) was investigated in the natural
uneven-age mixed hardwood stands of the Hyrcanian forests of Iran to quantify the impact on CWD.
The HA was classified into three classes (easy, medium and difficult) on the basis of slope class,
slope direction to the nearest road and road type. As expected, a negative relationship between
the degree of accessibility was found with respect to the main qualitative and quantitative indices
referring to CWD. The results showed that the volume of CWD decreased with an increase in
human accessibility class (HAC), thus the mean volume of CWD in the difficult, medium and easy
accessibility classes were 14.87 m3 ha1, 8.84 m3 ha1 and 4.03 m3 ha1, respectively. The decrease in
CWD volume was more associated with the decreasing volume of small diameter of low decayed
downed logs. The ratio of snag volume to standing volume, the ratio of downed log volume to the
volume of trees and the ratio of CWD volume to standing volume increased with a decrease in HAC,
while the ratio of downed log volume to snag volume decreased with a decrease in HAC. No selective
behaviour on the botanical species of CWD was recorded. For ecological forest management, the effect
of HAC on CWD should be considered. A constant supply of snags and downed logs must be
preserved to assure a high level of biodiversity. To balance social needs and biodiversity requirements,
an increased level of CWD retention might be needed in areas with easy accessibility. The obtained
results may be useful when ecological and socio-economical needs have to be taken into consideration
in future policy-making decisions.
