Mirabilia Romane negli appunti di viaggio di Shan Shili
No full textUn resoconto di viaggio, compilato nel 1909 da una penna femminile, Shan Shili, che, per la prima volta, consegnò al lettore cinese una dettagliata e accurata spiegazione del patrimonio storico-artistico di Roma. Un’opera di difficile catalogazione, perché si discosta sia dai resoconti di viaggio di fine epoca Qing, sia dai generi letterari cui solitamente le donne cinesi affidavano la propria soggettività. La peculiarità del Guiqian è la continua ibridazione dei generi, i quali si fondono e si alternano nel corso dei dodici capitoli. L'opera di Shan Shili è il racconto e la descrizione di un percorso, di un itinerario artistico che la viaggiatrice compie all’inizio del Novecento, ma è anche il tentativo di dipanare una sorta di diacronia,in cui l'autrice tenta di ricostruire in termini storici l'incontro,il dialogo,tra Occidente e Cina.This essay is dedicated to the analysis of Guiqian ji, written by Shan Shili, the wife of the Ministry of China to Italy from 1908-1909, after her sojourn in Rome.
It is the first text mainly dedicated to the description of the art and the artistic heritage of Rome, a text which is built on the artistic itinerary that the author realized during her sojourn in Rome. Shan Shili tried to create a dialogue between Italy and China, through the description of their cultural, artistic and historical pasts
Structural and electrical characterization of the 4H-SiC based Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET).
No full textThe main focus of our work is the characterization and structural study of 4H-silicon carbide (SiC) normally-off vertical junction field effect transistor (JFET). We will determine the experimental static Ids-V characteristics under temperature variation. In order to achieve a better description of SiC and metal interface properties, many interesting parameters related to the material and to the device performance have been obtained from these measurements. Simulation has been used to correlate obtained results to physical parameters. When the temperature increases to 300°C, the Rds increase to 700 mΩ and the saturation drain source current decreases up to 14A
Note per un dono segreto – Il viaggio in Italia di Shan Shili
No full textIl libro presenta e analizza il resoconto di viaggio che Shan Shili (1856-1945), moglie del Ministro di Cina in Italia, Qian Xun (1853-1927), compose nel 1910 dopo un anno di permanenza a Roma.This book is dedicated to the analysis of Guiqian ji, written by Shan Shili, the wife of the Ministry of China to Italy from 1908-1909, after her sojourn in Rome.
The analysis is aimed at pointing out the peculiarities of this text, one which is very difficult to classify, because it does not easily fit into any label of Chinese literary genres nor into any of women writing genres. It is a text that generically can be included within the youji, travel literature genre, but it greatly differs from the prototypes of Chinese travel literature. It is the first text mainly dedicated to the description of the art and the artistic heritage of Rome, a text which is built on the artistic itinerary that the author realized during her sojourn in Rome. Shan Shili tried to create a dialogue between Italy and China, through the description of their cultural, artistic and historical pasts
Globalization and media governance in the People's Republic of China (1992-2004)
No full textThe media long regarded as a characteristic element of state propaganda in authoritarian regimes have become a key interest for western academic literature. Yet little attention has been paid to the fact that media within an authoritarian country may be influenced by external factors as well. This work addresses this issue and explores the roles external factors like media globalization and transnational media corporations (TNMCs) play in the transition of China's media governance. It argues that transnational forces have increasingly imposed insurmountable politico-economic pressures on the Chinese media regime, leading the state to further embrace the globalised economy and thus promote market-driven policies. As such, the ongoing task of media governance transition has a far-reaching impact upon socio-political systems in the PRC-a pattern of steady institutionalization with Chinese characteristics of media governance is emerging. The socio-political impact of the steady media institutionalization fosters a more relaxed space in both political and social domains. This has also challenged the dominant approaches, i. e., the 'Value-domination', the Nationalist, the Liberal model, and the Trans-cultural model, in the study of media politics in authoritarian states. After examining the changes in media institutions, policy responses, media structure, and media culture, the author conceptualizes these changes as institutional transformation, de-regulation,d e-monopolization, and de-propagandization. This dissertation concludes that China's media governance has continuously progressed from the model of 'leader-determined' model towards a 'consensus-building' model with an increase in media participants
Barrier height evolution in a non-uniform interface of Ti or Mo Schottky diodes based on 4H-SiC
No full textEcomorphological variation within and among the two marine species of genus Salaria: Salaria basilisca and Salaria pavo (Perciformes: Blenniidae)
No full textIn order to highlight the variation of the form due to the presence of different ecological factors, we investigated in this paper the morphological variation between and within the two marine species Salaria basilisca and S. pavo. This study was based on two approaches, the Truss network and the geometric morphometric and involved specimens of both species divided into marine and lagoon samples. The two approaches yielded complementary results showing clear morphological discrimination of the two species Thus, S. basilisca is distinguished by a higher depth and length as well as a higher head with a compressed snout compared to S. pavo which has a shortened body, a lower head and a slightly stretched snout. At an intraspecific scale, both approaches showed a discrimination of marine and lagoon samples for both species: marine samples tend to have an elongated, shallower body with a small head while lagoon samples are distinguished by a shorter, deeper body and a tall head
Soil respiration and nitrogen recovery in maize after digested slurry application
No full textPower generation through anaerobic digestion of residual and dedicated biomass releases a slurry poor in C and relatively-rich in N. In order to assess its efficiency as a nitrogen source for maize and its CO2 rellease to the atmosphere, a field trial was set up in 2009. 7 fertilizer treatments were carried out in a randomized block design: an unfertilized control (Unfert), plus the cross combination of two rates (100 and 200 kg N ha-1) and three N sources: Urea (U), the liquid (LF) and the solid (SF) fraction (d.m. = 75 and 286 mg g-1, respectively) of the slurry coming from a digester which processes “green” (maize silage and vegetable wastes) biomass.
Fertilizers, applied as topdress, were incorporated in the top 0.1 m soil of the inter-row space, followed by soil respiration point measures and NH3 volatilisation continuous trapping. Crop growth was followed through allometric traits. At harvest, grain and total-biomass dry yield (GY and BY, respectively), plant N uptake (N-upt) and N apparent recovery fraction (ARF) were determined.
Plant morphology was not significantly affected by fertilizer treatments during growth. Soil respiration was greatly enhanced especially by SF application. Subjected to the contrast analysis, data showed a higher overall respiration at: 200 vs. 100 kg N ha-1; LF+SF vs. U; SF vs. LF. It has to be noted, however, that SF supplied a 2.7-higher amount of carbon than LF, attaining 2 Mg C ha-1 in the 200SF treatment. In contrast to this, ammonia volatilization from the soil was barely noticeable, indicating a very strong restraint of NH3 losses with respect to a vast range of cases. Yield and nutrient-efficiency traits at harvest outlined a picture of modest crop response to added nitrogen. The complex of the six fertilizer treatments (Fert) involved a ~10% GY increase with respect to Unfert; no further effect was observed between N rates (100 vs. 200), nor among fertilizers (U, LF, SF). The supply of fertilizers as a whole (Fert) involved a significant although modest increase in plant N-upt with respect to Unfert, whereas no further difference was observed between N rates and among fertilizers. At last, ARF did not show significant variations, indicating a substantial equivalence between N rates and especially among fertilizers, despite differences in chemical-physical characteristics. The overall ARF (6.4%) indicates a condition of limited nutrient efficiency, which is consistent with a low fertilizer need to achieve optimum crop nutrition.
On concluding, both fractions of digested slurry can successfully be used as N sources for maize. Further evidence is needed to prove their effectiveness in conditions of major nutrient stress, as well as to assess their carbon-sink potential, given the non-negligible amounts of supplied C
Dal soft power al wenhua ruan shili: la cultura al centro
No full textIl contributo analizza il concetto di soft power nel contesto cinese. Ideato e sviluppato dal politologo statunitense e professore della Harvard University Joseph S. Nye, Jr. negli anni Novanta dello scorso secolo, il soft power ha attratto, quasi da subito e in modo crescente, l'attenzione delle élite intellettuali e politiche cinesi. Sin dalla dirigenza di Hu Jintao e con ancora più vigore sotto l'attuale leadership di Xi Jinping, la teoria del soft power, ovvero il potere dí attrazione esercitato con lo scopo di ottenere dagli altri i risultati desiderati, è entrata a far parte del discorso politico della Repubblica popolare cinese, che vede in esso uno strumento innovativo, benevolo ed efficace sempre più indispensabile per affrontare le molte sfide di un'emergente potenza globale. Oggigiorno, la Cina ha però maturato una propria visione del soft power, discostandosi, in parte e se non del tutto, dalla controparte occidentale: dopo aver fornito alcuni elementi teorici utili per operare un confronto critico tra le due prospettive, i paragrafi seguenti illustreranno alcune caratteristiche per cui è possibile affermare che il concetto di wenhua ruan shili costituisce oggi l'innovativo approccio cinese a questo tema
