Exhibition "Warps of rationality" at the Peruzzo Foundation and analysis on the artistic exposure
No full textopenLa Fondazione Alberto Peruzzo è un'istituzione no-profit istituita nel 2015, grazie alla volontà dell'imprenditore Alberto Peruzzo, con il fine di favorire la diffusione dell'arte contemporanea nel territorio di Padova e il recupero del patrimonio artistico della città. Infatti, grazie all’ideazione di un progetto di recupero architettonico, la chiesa di Sant’Agnese a Padova in disuso da tempo, ma con un valore fortemente simbolico per la città, è diventata sede della Fondazione e spazio espositivo. La Fondazione Peruzzo ospita spesso mostre e allestimenti d’arte, infatti, nel novembre dello scorso anno ha ospitato due mostre particolarmente interessanti che sono oggetto di questa tesi: una intitolata “Uno scenario mentale” di Ester Stocker, situata nello spazio che precedentemente era la navata della chiesa, e una seconda dal titolo “Orditi della razionalità”, che è stata allestita in quella che era la sacrestia. Le opere esposte di artisti italiani ed internazionali, brevemente presentati in questa tesi, provengono dal Museo Umbro Apollonio di San Martino di Lupari, che custodisce oltre un centinaio di opere di artisti di fama internazionale, dedicato al critico d’arte Umbro Apollonio e dal Fondo Verica 8+1 di Mestre, una raccolta di circa quattrocento opere di arti figurative, che comprendono oggettistica di arte contemporanea, pittura e scultura e che risultano estremamente importanti e rappresentative della sperimentazione artistica veneziana. Fattore comune a tutti gli artisti descritti nella tesi è l’adesione all’Optical Art, la corrente d’arte astratta nata intorno al 1960, che utilizza forme geometriche per creare illusioni ottiche e l’impressione plastica del movimento, grazie alle quali il coinvolgimento nell’opera d’arte da parte dell’osservatore è fortemente stimolata

Orizzonti mantovani. Spunti e dinamiche paesaggistiche ne L'Illustrissimo di Alberto Cantoni
No full textIn the literary production of Alberto Cantoni, short story writer and novelist between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the novel L'Illustrissimo is highly important both because it is the last publication of the author, from Pomponesco, a small town a few kilometers south of Mantua, both because it summarizes in a single text the different nuances and different directions that his writing has taken over the course of his literary career, also due to a writing and processing time that embraces the entire span of years of his career itself. In the foreground, in addition to the numerous and brilliant characters, one of the protagonists is the Mantuan landscape which, not a simple background, becomes a true literary parameter which in different and significant ways affects the purposes and mechanisms of the novel

No full textERT and EMI Characterization of the Spatiotemporal Variability of Agricultural and Forest Soils: Some Common Methodological Issues
No full textThe interplay between water dynamics and soil characteristics underpins the functioning and resilience of the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum, but also leads to complex spatiotemporal variability. This variability challenges mapping and monitoring methodologies, ultimately hindering the definition of more effective management practices. Hence, informing the development of effective management practices has become a multidisciplinary and multi-methodological effort. Among geophysical methods, electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and electromagnetic induction (EMI) have been increasingly used for their sensitivity to water and soil texture changes, as well as for their capability to provide spatially extensive information and noninvasive monitoring. We present some common ERT and EMI survey designs in hydrological and agricultural applications, reviewing their potential and highlighting some key limitations. We first consider the use of ERT time-lapse measurements during irrigation tests, which allows the decoupling of static soil properties and water dynamics, but also requires a careful survey design to achieve the right trade-off of spatial and temporal resolutions and guarantee reliable results. We then present the use of EMI to map the irrigation and evapotranspiration dynamics in orchards, where the strong spatial variability and anisotropy challenge EMI high-resolution surveys and quantitative interpretations. This study reviews how the characteristics of the methods are reflected in their common usage, but also possible pitfalls
Multimode quantum interference of photons in multiport integrated devices
No full textPhotonics is a leading approach in realizing future quantum technologies and recently, optical waveguide circuits on silicon chips have demonstrated high levels of miniaturization and performance. Multimode interference (MMI) devices promise a straightforward implementation of compact and robust multiport circuits. Here, we show quantum interference in a 2×2 MMI coupler with visibility of V=95.6±0.9%. We further demonstrate the operation of a 4×4 port MMI device with photon pairs, which exhibits complex quantum interference behaviour. We have developed a new technique to fully characterize such multiport devices, which removes the need for phase-sensitive measurements and may find applications for a wide range of photonic devices. Our results show that MMI devices can operate in the quantum regime with high fidelity and promise substantial simplification and concatenation of photonic quantum circuit

O duplo significado do sentir e do pensar nas obras de Alberto Caeiro e Descartes
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em LiteraturaA pretensão desta dissertação intitulada O duplo significado do sentir e do pensar nas obras de Alberto Caeiro e Descartes é investigar a relação entre o sentir e o puro pensar, usando como referência a poesia O Guardador de Rebanhos, de Alberto Caeiro, que apresenta de forma evidente o tema; e como este assunto é tratado nas Meditações Metafísicas de René Descartes, também de forma claramente visível. Podemos perceber em ambos os autores, uma diplopia, uma espécie de duplo olhar sobre a relação sentir e puro pensar. No primeiro capítulo vou falar sobre a tese do duplo olhar de Descartes, a respeito da relação sentir e puro pensar na leitura de Merleau-Ponty, salientando a visão de natureza. No segundo capítulo, parto da leitura das três primeiras Meditações Metafísicas para caracterizar a tensão que se pode verificar entre Descartes e Alberto Caeiro quando se referem ao puro pensar. O foco principal de Descartes, nas três primeiras Meditações, é o pensar puro, e neste ponto Alberto Caeiro critica o pensar puro. No terceiro capítulo, analisando as três últimas Meditações, percebe-se que há uma virada no pensamento de Descartes, no qual o autor inverte seu ponto de vista, aproximando-se da idéia de Alberto Caeiro. No quarto capítulo, mostrarei a leitura que outros autores fazem acerca do sentir e do pensar na obra de Alberto Caeiro, mostrando que assim como Descartes, este também ostenta uma diplopia, não do sentir, mas do pensar. The pretension of this work entitled O duplo significado do sentir e do pensar nas obras de Alberto Caeiro e Descartes is to investigate the relationship between the feeling and the pure thinking, using as reference the poetry O Guardador de Rebanhos, by Alberto Caeiro, that presents in an evident way this theme; and as this subject is treated in René Descartes' Metaphysical Meditations, also in a clearly visible way. It is possible to notice in both authors, the diplopy, a sort of double look about the relationship between feeling and pure thinking. The thesis about Descartes'double look regarding the relation of feeling and pure thinking, in Merleau-Ponty reading, pointing out the nature vision, will be treated in the first chapter. In the second chapter, I start from the reading of the first three Metaphysical Meditations to characterize the tension that can be verified between Descartes and Alberto Caeiro when they refer to the pure thinking. Descartes' main focus in the first three Meditations is pure thinking and, in this point, Alberto Caeiro criticizes pure thinking. In the third chapter, analyzing the last three Meditations, it is possible to notice that there is an alteration in Descartes' thought, in which the author inverts his point of view, approaching of Alberto Caeiro's idea. In the fourth chapter, I will show the reading that other authors do concerning feeling and thinking in Alberto Caeiro's work, showing that as well as Descartes, this also shows a diplopy, not of feeling, but of thinking
