Comparison of two different models for pile thermal response test interpretation
No full textThermal response tests (TRTs) are regularly used to characterise the thermal resistance of borehole heat exchangers and to assess the thermal conductivity of the surrounding ground. It is becoming common to apply the same in situ testing technique to pile heat exchangers, despite international guidance suggesting that TRTs should be limited to hole diameters of 152 mm (6 in.). This size restriction arises from the increased thermal inertia of larger diameter heat exchangers, which invalidates the assumption of a steady state within the concrete needed to interpret the test data by traditional line source analysis techniques. However, new methods of analysis for pile heat exchangers have recently been developed that take account of the transient behaviour of the pile concrete. This paper applies these new methods to data from a multi-stage TRT conducted on a small diameter test pile. The thermal conductivity and thermal resistance determined using this method are then compared with those from traditional analytical approaches based on a line source analysis. Differences between the approaches are discussed, along with the observation that the thermal resistance may not be constant over the different test stages

The role of educative thought in the life and work of Antonio Gramsci
No full textMany philosophers have propounded a vision of an improved society, what distinguishes Antonio Gramsci is his continuous effort to make it happen by understanding the process in order to put into practice. Gramsci's conviction about the importance of educative development came from both theory and experience. While there has been considerable examination of Gramsci's work in relation to the Prison Notebooks, this study will seek to address a lacuna in Gramsci scholarship. Using Gramsci's philological method, I analyse Gramsci's pre-prison activity; his pre-prison articles and letters, which, together with his letters from prison, formed part of his educative mission. This educative process was necessary, in order to construct a new party which would develop a collective will, collaboratively, with the masses.In this study therefore, I explore the contexts and formative experiences of the first part of his life together with the intellectual sources from which Gramsci developed his later theories, making central hitherto underemphasised connections between them which informed his writing and ideas. I intend to illustrate that Gramsci's underlying purpose in his writing, and political activity, was not only practical, on how to create a new socialist ruling class, but also educative in forming the mindset and values of his comrades. So that in addition to outlining his vision of a new order, he implicitly guided or explicitly explained the processes by which the necessary changes in social relations and moral climate could be made in order to achieve it. Each person had to engage with the values of the new order so that each could contribute to the construction of a new robust state. It was essential to build a hegemony at the most profound level, one which was dependent on collective understandings and a collective will

No full textThe structures of new cytochalasan fungal metabolites aspochalamins Asimilar toD have been elucidated by ESI-FTICR-MS, NMR spectroscopy, and chiral amino acid analysis. Aspochalamins Asimilar toD consist of different aspochalasin skeletons connected at position C-19 to the N terminus of the tripeptidic moiety amide anthranoyl-L-alanine-E-didehydrotryptamide. Furthermore, the structure of a new aspochalasin analog, aspochalasin Z, was derived from its molecular mass and NMR data as 10-isopropyl-14-methyl[11]-cytochalasa-6Z, 13E, 19E-triene-1,21-dione

Personalità, strategie di regolazione delle emozioni ed emozioni all’università: Uno studio in Italia e nel Regno Unito
No full textIntroduzione
Nei contesti di apprendimento si possono provare molte emozioni. Approcci come la teoria del controllo-valore delle emozioni di riuscita descrivono alcuni fattori che possono influenzarle, quali la personalità (Pekrun et al., 2023) e le strategie di regolazione delle emozioni (SRE; Harley et al., 2019). È, inoltre, noto che la personalità influisce sulle SRE (Hughes et al., 2020). Tuttavia, tali relazioni sono state indagate spesso separatamente (con alcune eccezioni; Sorić et al., 2013) e raramente in ambito universitario. Questo lavoro ha l’obiettivo di studiare la relazione tra personalità, SRE ed emozioni provate verso lo studio universitario.
Metodo
Sono stati/e coinvolti/e 831 studenti/esse universitari/e in Italia (n = 564; Metà = 22.78, DS = 5.42; 86% F) e nel Regno Unito (n = 267; Metà = 21.08, DS = 4.47; 76% F). Con una survey online abbiamo valutato: 5 tratti di personalità (Big Five Inventory-2; Soto & John, 2017), 4 SRE (Cognitive/Behavioral Emotion Regulation Questionnaire; Garnefski & Kraaij, 2007; Kraaij & Garnefski, 2019) e 10 emozioni di riuscita (gioia, orgoglio, speranza, calma, sollievo, rabbia, vergogna, ansia, noia, sconforto) associate allo studio universitario (Achievement Emotions Adjective List; Raccanello et al., 2022).
Risultati
Due path analysis (software R; SRMR = 0.0120/0.009, RMSEA = 0.031/0.031, CFI = 0.998/0.998, TLI = 0.975/0.970) hanno indicato che Estroversione, Amicalità, Coscienziosità e Apertura mentale erano associate positivamente con le SRE adattive (Reappraisal positivo, Approccio attivo) e negativamente con le SRE disadattive (Catastrofizzazione, Ritiro), e viceversa per il Nevroticismo (con alcune eccezioni). A loro volta, nella maggior parte dei casi, le SRE adattive hanno mostrato relazioni positive con le emozioni positive e negative con le emozioni negative, e viceversa per le SRE disadattive. Sorprendentemente, il Ritiro è risultato legato positivamente con le emozioni positive e negativamente con la noia.
Discussione
Nonostante alcuni limiti (dati trasversali, self-report), questo studio ha dimostrato come la personalità influenzi le SRE e come queste ultime si associno a molteplici emozioni di riuscita in relazione allo studio universitario. Inoltre, in linea con lavori precedenti (Closson et al., 2022), ha mostrato come il Ritiro, entro certi margini, possa portare a esiti adattivi. Tali risultati possono essere utili alla definizione di interventi futuri per supportare il benessere degli/lle studenti/esse universitari/e
Endomorphisms That Are the Sum of a Unit and a Root of a Fixed Polynomial
No full textAbstractIf C = C(R) denotes the center of a ring R and g(x) is a polynomial in C[x], Camillo and Simón called a ring g(x)-clean if every element is the sum of a unit and a root of g(x). If V is a vector space of countable dimension over a division ring D, they showed that end DV is g(x)-clean provided that g(x) has two roots in C(D). If g(x) = x – x2 this shows that end DV is clean, a result of Nicholson and Varadarajan. In this paper we remove the countable condition, and in fact prove that end RM is g(x)-clean for any semisimple module M over an arbitrary ring R provided that g(x) ∈ (x – a)(x – b)C[x] where a, b ∈ C and both b and b – a are units in R.</jats:p
