The reflection on the concept of the life-world intends to evaluate the contribution of phenomenology to the philosophical debate beyond the contention between realism, naturalism, and subjectivism. The paper starts by evaluating the idea of the "universal correlation", thereby stressing the egological figure of the "Ich-kann" (I-can) as the proper candidate to achieve the constitution of the life-world. The author claims that the constitutive activity of the I-can is based not only on intellectual and perceiving acts, but rather on a comprehensive praxis, which also bears ethical meaning. The sense-borrowing activity of the I-can is namely responsible for the inner articulation of the plural particular worlds (Sonderwelten) within the encompassing life-world. Such a relation between interest-centered worlds and the encompassing life-world is not merely empirical and cannot be explained in causal and factual terms. It rather points out a peculiar subjective responsibility intended as a specific access to the world that bears a significant moral meaning. Here appears a pre-predicative and pre-normative form of responsibility rooted in the temporal and intentional structure of experience, connected with the first forms of socialization and with the essential structure of the life-world as a world "for everybody"

Indirect evaluation of erosion entity in drainage basins through geomorphic, climatic and hydrological parameters.
No full textThe regression equations connecting suspended sediment yield by streams with some parameters - expressing the main climatic, hydrologic and morphologic characters which control erosion intensity in drainage basins - were improved by extending the quantitative geomorphic studies already started by the authors on drainage networks. To have a sample which is representative of the different physiograpic conditions of Italy, twenty drainage basins were chosen. -from Author
An Application of the Harmony-Search Multi-Objective (HSMO) Optimization Algorithm for the Solution of Pump Scheduling Problem
No full textAbstractIn hydraulic systems, water is often pumped to reach higher elevations, so as to ensure the minimum required pressure and guarantee adequate service level. However, pumps cannot be instantly activated and people do not consume the resource in uniform mode throughout the day. To avoid direct pumping, water can be stored in tanks at a higher elevation, so that it can be supplied whenever there is a higher demand. Because of the significant costs required for pumping, energy-saving in water supply systems is one of the most challenging issues to ensure optimal management of water systems. Careful scheduling of pumping operations may lead not only to energy savings, but alsoto prevent damages, as consequence of reduction of operation times and switches. By means of computer simulation, an optimal schedule of pumps can be achieved using optimization algorithms. In this paper, a harmony-search multi-objective (HSMO) optimization approach is adapted to the pump scheduling problem. The model interfaces with the popular hydraulic solver, EPANET 2.0, to check the hydraulic constraints and to evaluate the performances of the selected schedules. Penalties are introduced in the objective function in case of violation of the hydraulic constraints. The model is applied to a case study, showing that the results are comparable with those of competitive meta-heuristic algorithms (e.g. Genetic Algorithms) and pointing out the suitability of the HSMO algorithm for pumping optimization
