PRIN Project 2010-11 “Active and recent geodynamics of Calabrian Arc and accretionary complex in the Ionian Sea”: new constraints from geological, geodetic and seismological data
No full textThis contribution illustrates the preliminary results of our Research Unit in the PRIN Project 2010-11, which
focuses on active and recent geodynamics of Calabrian Arc. The integration of the new geological, geodetic and
seismological data supports the inferred recent plate boundary reorganization in the central-southern Mediterranean,
where the regional GNNS velocity fields point to a deceleration or cessation of Calabrian Arc migration, and to
extension along the axis of the Calabrian Arc, accommodated by normal faulting (e.g. Capo Vaticano and Messina
Straits (Aloisi et al., 2012; Pepe et al., 2014; Spampinato et al., 2014). The study of the lateral borders of the Arc
revealed that oblique strike-slip displacement has occurred during its southeastwards migration. Active dextral
transtension is occurring along the NNW-striking Aeolian-Tindari Letojanni fault system, forming the southern
boundary of the Arc. It joins to the north other two boundaries characterized by different tectonic regimes, a
contractional belt in the southern Tyrrhenian sea, where a tectonic inversion has occurred since the middle Pleistocene,
and the extensional one in northeastern Sicily and western Calabria (Palano et al., 2012; Barreca et al., 2014a). Along
the northern boundary of the Arc, the so-called Pollino line (onshore) and Sibari Line (offshore), active deformation has
been documented on folds growing above blind oblique thrust ramps extending offshore, controlling the present
morphobathymetric pattern (Santoro et al., 2013). Although external to the Calabrian Arc, we also devoted attention to
the front of the Maghrebian thrust belt in western Sicily where we presented the first evidence of historical co-seismic
deformation on a thrust array running from the Belice area to the Sicily Channel (Barreca et al., 2014b). Morphotectonic
analysis and fault numeric modeling of uplifted Pleistocene marine terraces and Holocene paleo-shorelines has
documented that most of the uplift along the Calabrian Arc is related to regional processes and the residual to coseismic
displacement on major faults, both transpressional and transtensional, at the borders, and extensional along the
chain axis

A comparison of particle number and mass collection efficiency of a close-coupled DOC-DPF system under different engine operating conditions
No full textPM effects on health are believed to be more related to particle total number rather than to particle total mass. This gave rise in Europe to the forthcoming introduction of an emission standard on total particle number, that will take place for passenger cars from EURO5 (stage b) on. The behavior of the DPF is therefore under investigation, to better understand its effectiveness toward particle number reduction. Moving from that background, a study on the effect of a close coupled DOC-CDPF (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst + Catalyzed Diesel Particulate Filter) on PM emissions is proposed in this paper, with special focus on the comparison between mass and number collection efficiency. Experimental data have been gathered at the engine laboratory of the University of Rome Tor Vergata, equipped with a FIAT 2.0l EURO 5 passenger car engine. Data have been acquired with a TSI 3090 EEPS to measure particle distribution and total number, and an AVL-415 S to measure PM mass emissions. A numerical code has been also developed to represent the DPF behavior, in terms of soot load (g/l) trend, under forced regenerating operating conditions and better understand regeneration potential as a function of time. Results, acquired for three non regenerating and one forced regenerating modes, prove that mass and number efficiencies are close to 100%, with a slight decrease during the forced regeneration mod
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Atlante web dei territori postmetropolitani
No full textL’atlante dei territori post-metropolitani propone una selezione di indicatori quantitativi semplici e complessi, con l’obiettivo di produrre conoscenza sui processi di regionalizzazione dell’urbano in Italia. Tale database, costruito a partire da una selezione delle principali fonti statistiche nazionali pubbliche esistenti, offre una serie di elaborazioni originali, alcune più semplici, altre a carattere complesso, basate sulle principali ipotesi di ricerca del progetto di ricerca PRIN 2010-2011 "Territori postmetropolitani come forme urbane emergenti". In questo senso lo sforzo dispiegato è consistito nel selezionare dati ed indicatori che permettessero di dialogare con le ipotesi di ricerca e di riconoscere qualitativamente come stanno cambiando i territori urbani dell’Italia contemporanea. L’Atlante dei territori post-metropolitani costituisce il primo prodotto della ricerca ed è l’esito di un’operazione che risponde all’obiettivo di offrire una prima lettura comparativa dei principali processi che investono le regioni urbane prese in esame: Torino, Milano, Venezia, Firenze, Roma, Napoli, Palermo, Sicilia Sud Orientale, Sardegna Nord Oriental

Current issues in ITC investments management
No full textThe paper aims to provide an overview of the current issues in IT investments management. Topics such as IT investments evaluation, the reflexive relationship between the business context and IT investments are analyzed in detail. Also, the paper analyzes the impact of time over IT investments as well as the causes that lead to IT projects failure. A synthesis is carried out among the arguments regarding the IT Investments Paradox. Different evaluation methods are exposed along with their practical usage.

Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation
No full textThe desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
John F. Kennedy telegram to Roosevelt
No full textJersey Homesteads (later the Borough of Roosevelt) was established in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative community. It was established specifically for urban Jewish garment workers, many of whom had emigrated from Europe. President John F. Kennedy sent a telegram to the citizens of Roosevelt, New Jersey, apologizing for not being able to attend the memorial dedication in honor of former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. (Jersey Homesteads became Roosevelt in 1945 in honor of the president.) President Kennedy expressed his gratitude to the people of Roosevelt for constructing the memorial, and commented that it will serve as a constant reminder of Roosevelt's good works
