    G. IOTTI, "Mérope" ou le plaisir de la reconnaissance

    No full text
    L'article analyse l'anagnorisis dans la Mérope de Voltaire.La reconnaissance entre personnages est l'aboutissement d'un tropisme renvoyant aux affections familiales. Cependant la voix du sang ne se réduit pas à une donnée purement sentimentale. Ses conséquences font balancer le héros entre une identité ancestrale et identité affective. Ainsi l'anagnorisis dans Mérope résume parfaitement la "contradiction" fondamentale de la dramaturgie voltairienne, suspendue entre tragédie et mélodrame

    On the Tuber magnatum, Tuber albidum and Tuber rufum author name: Picco vs Pico

    No full text
    This article presents the results of a research that has been conducted on the surname of the author of the three truffle species Tuber magnatum, T. albidum and T. rufum who in the nomenclatural databases of fungi is listed as “Picco” rather than “Pico” (how he is usually indicated). Drawing upon official documents from the Turin State and University Archives the claim is made that the surname Picco is the correct version. This name can also be found in a contemporary review of the book Melethemata Inauguralia (Picco 1788), as well as in a biographic dictionary of Piedmontese physicians dated back to 1825. Therefore, the officially used indication since Stafleu and Cowan (1983) can be considered to be correct

    Soprannaturale e letteratura

    Discussione delle teorizzazioni di Francesco Orlando sul soprannaturale letterarioThe essay tackles the issue of the supernatural in literature as sketched by Francesco Orlando in his recently published posthumous study Il soprannaturale letterario. Storia, logica e forme. Orlando’s proposal of reformulation and categorization of the theme – which is extremely innovative and exemplified by a range of texts belonging to an ample chronological span – is discussed in relation to the theoretical tenets of the author of Per una teoria freudiana della letteratura and takes into account the previous attempts of theorisation of the supernatural

    Simulation of electronic quantum devices: Failure of semiclassical models

    No full text
    To simplify the design and optimization of new-generation nanomaterials and related electronic and optoelectronic quantum devices, energy dissipation versus decoherence phenomena are often simulated via local models based on theWigner-function formalism. Such a local description is, however, intrinsically incompatible with the fully quantum-mechanical (i.e., non-local) nature of the dissipation-free carrier dynamics. While the limitations of such hybrid treatments have already been pointed out in the past in diverse contexts, the spirit of the present work is to provide a more cohesive and critical review. To this aim, we focus on the fundamental link between the Wigner-function picture and the density-matrix formalism. In particular, we show that, starting from well-established density-matrix-based models, the resulting Wigner-function dissipation and/or thermalization dynamics is necessarily non-local. This leads to the conclusion that the use of local Wigner function models borrowed from the semiclassical Boltzmann theory is formally not justified and may produce unreliable results, and that such simplified local treatments should be replaced by fully non-local quantum models derived, e.g., via the density-matrix formalism
