Thermodynamic Insights into Transitions Between Climate States Under Changes in Solar and Greenhouse Forcing
No full textA detailed thermodynamic, sensitivity analysis of the steady state climate system is performed with respect to the solar constant S* and the carbon dioxide concentration of the atmosphere, [CO2]. Using PlaSim, an Earth-like general circulation model of intermediate complexity, S* is modulated between 1,160 and 1,510 Wm-2 for values of [CO2] ranging from 90 to 2,880 ppm. It is observed that in a wide parameter range, which includes the present climate conditions, the climate is multistable, i.e. there are two coexisting attractors, one characterised by warm, moist climates (W) and the other by a completely frozen sea surface (Snowball Earth, SB). For both sets of states, empirical relationships for surface temperature, material entropy production, meridional energy transport, Carnot efficiency and dissipation of kinetic energy are constructed in the para- metric plane ([CO2], S*). Linear relationships are found for the two transition lines (W ? SB and SB ? W) in ([CO2], S*) between S* and the logarithm of [CO2]. The dynamical and thermodynamical properties of W and SB are completely different. W states are dominated by the hydrological cycle and latent heat is prominent in the material entropy production. The SB states are mainly dry cli- mates where heat transport is realized through sensible heat fluxes and entropy mostly generated by dissipation of kinetic energy. It is also shown that the Carnot- like efficiency regularly increases towards each transition between W and SB and that each transition is associated with a large decrease of the Carnot efficiency indicating a restabilisation of the system. Furthermore, it has been found that in SB states, changes in the vertical temperature structure are responsible for the observed changes in the meridional transport
“Let the Games Begin!” La figura del gioco distopico nel cinema e nella letteratura fantascientifica
No full textSeveral sci-fi dystopian novels depict communities of the future in which people spend most of their time fighting each other in mortal combats. Such competitions take sometimes the form of violent sports, like in Rollerball (1975) by Norman Jewison, or of cruel manhunts, like in La decima vittima (1965) by Elio Petri and Hunger Games (2012) by Gary Ross. Sponsored and encouraged by governments themselves, generally totalitarian and dictatorial in their organization, these challenges play an important role both as an outlet for the most violent instincts of individuals and as means of approval, in the wake of the tradition of fights among gladiators. Moreover, these combats do not necessarily need the presence of an audience to take place, like for instance in Battle Royale (2000) by Kinji Fukasaku, but most of the times they are shaped as shows recorded by multiple cameras, in accordance with the practice of reality shows, like in The Running Man (1987) by Paul Michael Glaser. This essay aims to survey the topic of the dystopian killing game in films and novels, starting from the short story The Seventh Victim (1953) by Robert Sheckley, that can be considered a prototype of this kind of fictional theme, till the Hunger Games saga, where the mortal combat motif melts with a satire on contemporary reality T
Stationary-phase integrals in the cross correlation of ambient noise
No full textThe cross correlation of ambient signal allows seismologists to collect data even in the absence of seismic events. “Seismic interferometry” shows that the cross correlation of simultaneous recordings of a random wavefield made at two locations is formally related to the impulse response between those locations. This idea has found many applications in seismology, as a growing number of dense seismic networks become available: cross-correlating long seismic records, the Green's function between instrument pairs is “reconstructed” and used, just like the seismic recording of an explosion, in tomography, monitoring, etc. These applications have been accompanied by theoretical investigations of the relationship between noise cross correlation and the Green's function; numerous formulations of “ambient noise” theory have emerged, each based on different hypotheses and/or analytical approaches. The purpose of this study is to present most of those approaches together, providing a comprehensive overview of the theory. Understanding the specific hypotheses behind each Green's function recipe is critical to its correct application. Hoping to guide nonspecialists who approach ambient noise theory for the first time, we treat the simplest formulation (the stationary-phase approximation applied to smooth unbounded media) in detail. We then move on to more general treatments, illustrating that the “stationary-phase” and “reciprocity theorem” approaches lead to the same formulae when applied to the same scenario. We show that a formal cross correlation/Green's function relationship can be found in complex, bounded media and for nonuniform source distributions. We finally provide the bases for understanding how the Green's function is reconstructed in the presence of scattering obstacles.Geoscience & EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience

An innovative design approach for anchored wire meshes
No full textAnchored wire meshes are commonly adopted to stabilize potentially unstable soil slopes. This reinforcement technique, employed either as an active or a passive anchoring system, is commonly designed according to ultimate limit state approaches. In this paper, an interaction model, useful for the design of anchored wire meshes, is proposed. The model is based on the results of a series of 3D large displacement finite element numerical analyses, in which the wire mesh mechanical behaviour is modelled as either an elastic or an elastic–plastic membrane. The model is inspired to standard load–displacement curves for shallow foundations, and the wire mesh presence is taken into account by suitably modifying the bearing capacity formula. The proposed model predictions are compared with experimental punching test results. The use of the model, only requiring the definition of geometry and soil–wire mesh mechanical properties, allows the pre-design of the reinforcement system without performing ad hoc finite element numerical analyses.Geo-engineerin
A pena privativa de liberdade e a inclusão social do preso na perspectiva dos direitos humanos
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Jurídicas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Direito.O tema da presente tese é a pena privativa de liberdade e a inclusão social do preso sob a perspectiva dos direitos humanos. Levantam-se algumas questões a respeito desta problemática e formulam-se propostas que pretendem viabilizar a inclusão social do preso, preparando-o adequadamente para o seu retorno à sociedade livre, auxiliando-o neste processo. O atual sistema penitenciário brasileiro não atende o objetivo de ressocialização fixado na lei porquanto não é ele uma reprodução da sociedade livre, operando inversamente em relação aos objetivos legais, socializando o preso para viver no ambiente prisional e não fora dele. Ademais, o intento ressocializatório mostra-se inadequado à realidade prisional, uma vez que muitos presos sequer se poderiam considerar socializados ao ingressarem na prisão. O Estado Contemporâneo tem uma função social e a partir desta assertiva faz-se necessário que o ente público e a sociedade se detenham sobre o preso, reafirmando a sua condição de pessoa humana, dotada de direitos e de dignidade. A partir desta constatação, articulam-se as propostas visando a inclusão social do preso. Intenta-se aperfeiçoar a execução penal com a sua regionalização, com a criação de Centros de Inclusão Social, com a implantação do Serviço Social Penitenciário de Aprendizagem Nacional. Defende-se a formação criminológica dos operadores do direito e a profissionalização do pessoal penitenciário. Preconiza-se que a administração da execução da pena deva ser exercida pelo Poder Judiciário. Pleiteia-se, finalmente, uma participação mais efetiva da sociedade. Este trabalho acredita na união de esforços dos diversos segmentos da vida societária no sentido de apoiar o egresso, e dar-lhe condições que lhe possibilitem viver em liberdade
Towards mapping the archaeological continuum. New perspectives and current limitations in Planning Led Archaeology in Italy
No full textThe paper discusses both theory and practice in the application of the Italian domestic law, which has applied since 2006 to any kind of public new construction or to the modification of existing structures. The author argues, based on two of his own projects, BREBEMI and EMPTYSCAPES, that there are both shortcomings and new opportunities within Planning Led Archaeology. Projects from the last decade, in Italy and elsewhere, have demonstrated the potential effectiveness of new approaches to pre-development evaluation in the operation of the current legal and scientific framework that may make it possible to overcome some severe limitations in current practice
Boschi sacri e culti federali: l’esempio del Lazio
No full textVengono analizzati nel quadro dei santuari connessi con il nomen Latinum tre boschi sacri; quello di Diana Nemorense presso Aricia, quello di Ferentina sotto il monte Albanoe quello di Diana a Corne presso Tuscolo, tutti siti extraurbani, ma nei pressi di importanti centri latini. Fra l’altro, si propone di identificare il sito del terzo nella zona dell’attuale Frascati, presso la villa di Passieno Crispo, marito di Agrippina. L’uso di boschi sacri come luoghi di riunioni politiche ο militari trova confronti anche a Roma. L’asylum sembra collegato all’ingresso al colle capitolino presso il tempio di Saturno. Una notizia di Servio collocava sotto di esso le ossa di Oreste, trasferite da Aricia; particolare che forse si spiega con le tradizioni mitiche che ponevano sul Campidoglio i Sabini, discendenti dagli Spartani.Three sacred groves are analysed in the context of sanctuaries connected with the nomen Latinum; that of Diana Nemorensis near Aricia, that ol’Ferentina at the foot of Mons Albanus and that of Diana at Corne near Tusculum, all extra-urban sites, but nearby important Latin centres. The author proposes to identify the site of the third in the area of the present Frascati, near the villa of Passienus Crispus, husband of Agrippina. The use of sacred groves as places of political or military meetings finds comparisons also at Rome. The asylum seems to be linked to the entry of the Capitoline hill near the Temple of Saturn. A report of Servius placed under this the bones of Orestes, transferred from Aricia; a particular which perhaps is explained with the mythical traditions that put the Sabines, discendants of the Spartans, on the Capitol
