    Lingua e stile nel De S. Cypriano di Eudocia Augusta

    No full text
    La tesi analizza la lingua e lo stile del De S. Cipriano di Eudocia Augusta, studiando l'aspetto linguistico, quello metrico, quello stilistico e letterario e il rapporto con il testo in prosa di riferimento (la Conversio, del IV secolo d.C.) di cui Eudocia fa una trasposizione in versi. Viene evidenziato il rapporto presente con l'epica arcaica ma al tempo stesso gli aspetti tipicamente tardoantichi del poema, e come Eudocia utilizzi un linguaggio omerico ed epico per scrivere questa agiografia in versi, illustrando il messaggio cristiano con lo stile classico e pagano

    Measuring the impact of functional and experiential mixed reality elements on a museum visit

    Although research on the impact of new realities on museum experience is receiving increasing attention, it remains mainly conceptual in nature and measuring the impact of mixed reality on a museum visit is still in its infancy. This paper attempts to shed light on this topic by applying the visitor experience model for mixed reality, which measures how 23 functional and experiential elements have been reshaping a traditional museum visit, enhancing visitor satisfaction. The empirical analysis interests ‘The Ara As It Was’, a mixed reality project installed in the iconic Ara Pacis Museum in Rome (Italy), an expression of Roman history and unique on the Italian and international panorama. The findings and conclusions open up new scenarios for future research on immersive museum experiences, combining cultural heritage with technological innovation. They suggest managerial implications to combine authenticity and innovation in the museum, generating unique experiences and redefining museum service models

    Kinetics of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by roasted Coffee during the first ten days after processing

    The quality of coffee is linked to the aroma created by the chemical reactions that occur during the roasting process. While it is generally thought that roasted coffee is a stable product with a relatively long shelf-life, little information is available on the evolution (kinetic) of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the days immediately following the process. The aim of this study is to determine the evolution of VOCs released by coffee beans, on samples of Coffea arabica (three different origins) and Coffea canephora (1 single origin), by using a Proton Transfer Reaction Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer (PTR-ToF-MS) 24 hours after roasting, and for the next 9 days. Results confirmed the differences already highlighted in previous studies between the VOCs spectra of the two species. There were also significant differences in the intensity of emissions for the different origins of Coffea arabica, with the highest VOCs amount over time always detected in the Honduras Arabica samples. The involved detected protonated ions were grouped into three classes: compounds (ppbv) present with decreasing quantity; weakly increasing; almost constant trend; or always increasing. A complex dynamic emerged for the different protonated ions over time, which not only affects the mass spectra of the different species but also influences the configuration of the mass spectra of the different geographical zones of production
