Global Attractors of Non-autonomous Difference Equations
Get PDFThe article is devoted to the study of global attractors of quasi-linear non-autonomous difference equations, in particular we give the conditions for the existence of a compact global attractor. The obtained results are applied to the study of a triangular economic growth model recently developed by Brianzoni S., Mammana C. and Michetti E.Global attractors,Solow growth model,CGE,quasi-linear non-autonomous,difference equations,Endogenous population growth
Future trends in paleoseismology: Integrated study of the seismic landscape as a vital tool in seismic hazard analyses
No full textThis paper forms the Introduction to this Special Issue of Tectonophysics, devoted to selected scientific research
presented during events sponsored by the INQUA Subcommission on Paleoseismicity in the past few years. In this
note, we summarize the contents of the contributed papers and use the issues they raise to review the state-of-the-art in
paleoseismology from a Quaternary geology perspective. In our opinion, the evolution of paleoseismological studies in
the past decade clearly demonstrates that in order to properly understand the seismic potential of a region, and to
assess the associated hazards, broad-based/multidisciplinary studies are necessary to take full advantage from the
geological evidence of past earthquakes. A major challenge in future paleoseismic research is to build detailed
empirical relations between various categories of coseismic effects in the natural environment and earthquake magnitude/
intensity. These relations should be compiled in a way that is fully representative of the wide variety of natural
environments on Earth, in terms of climatic settings, Quaternary tectonic evolution, rheological parameters of the
seismogenic crust, and stress environment. For instance, available data indicate that between earthquake magnitude and
surface faulting parameters different scaling laws exist, and they are a function of the local geodynamic setting
(including style of faulting, typical focal depths, heat flow). In this regard, we discuss in some detail the concept of
seismic landscape, which provides the necessary background for developing paleoseismological research strategies. The
large amount of paleoseismological data collected in recent years shows that each earthquake source creates a signature
on the geology and the geomorphology of an area that is unequivocally related with the order of magnitude of its
earthquake potential. This signature is defined as the seismic landscape of the area (e.g., Serva, L., Vittori, E., Ferreli,

Proceedings of the Second France–United States Workshop on Earthquake Hazard Assessment in Intraplate Regions:
Central and Eastern United States and Western Europe, October 16, 1995, Nice, France, 20–24, Ouest Editions, Nantes,
France; Michetti, A.M., Hancock, P.L., 1997. Paleoseismology: understanding past earthquakes using quaternary geology Journal of Geodynamics 24 (1–4), 3–10). We then illustrate how this relatively new framework is helpful in understanding
the seismic behavior of faults capable of producing surface faulting and provides a comprehensive approach for the use of
paleoseismicity data in earthquake hazard characterization
Considerazioni su Cesare Baronio e la Spagna, tra controversia politica e ricezione erudita
No full textThe study is focused on the complex relationship within Cesare baronio and the Spanish Monarchy, in the new political and historical context. As a cardinal, as pope confessor, as author, he had a preminent role in all the most relavant disputes between Rome, Madrid and Paris of the beginning of the 17th cent., when the balances and the alliances inside the the catholicism were changing.
Ma è poi tanto pacifico che l’albero rispecchi l’archivio?
No full textThe Author investigates the hierarchical nature of XML structures and the way it influences the representation of archival materials: focusing on the widespread habit of referring to and depicting archives as trees, the Author highlights some major concerns and restraints related to a hierarchy-oriented approach, whereas the complex nature of archives needs to be represented through different and richer strategies
EAC: Elementi per un Approccio Critico
No full textThe Author highlights the poor spread of EAD/EAC in Italy and analyses the causes considering the broader context of standardization processes: to this aim, the Author identifies well defined problems related to political, cultural, and technical aspects. Particular attention is devoted to the analysis of some doubts and uncertainties arising from the beta version of EAC: suggestions and solutions are presented in the paper
Diritto al silenzio e insider trading: il confronto tra Roma e Lussemburgo prosegue sulla via del dialogo (Corte costituzionale, sentenza n. 84/2021)

187 – quinquiesdecies (d.lgs. n. 58/1998), relating to the crime of insider trading as it violates the right to
remain silent (art. 24 Cost.). The Author analyzes the decision, highlighting how it is an important
moment of dialogue with Court of Justice, aimed at protecting rights and freedoms in compliance with the
European Charter of Fundamental Rightsand the italian constitutional tradition
