“I beg you to tell me what has become of Djamila”: The Political Mobilization of Simone de Beauvoir’s Readers During the Boupacha Affair
No full textBy Sophia Millman This is a condensed version of a Masters thesis dedicated to the political mobilization of Simone de Beauvoir’s readers. The citations from the letters were translated from French by the author. *** On June 2, 1960, the French government ordered all copies of the daily Algiers edition of Le Monde seized and destroyed to suppress the publication of Simone de Beauvoir’s article “Pour Djamila Boupacha.” Beauvoir, a self-professed “woman of letters”, not “of action[1]”, and one ..
Analisi della portata variabile negli impianti a pompa di calore geotermica
No full textL’attenzione per le pompe di calore geotermiche è in continua crescita e la loro diffusione si sta estendendo anche ad applicazioni residenziali. In questo studio verrà eseguito un confronto tra le possibili tipologie di controllo applicabili al compressore della pompa di calore.
Si vedrà come tramite l’adozione dell’inverter sia possibile diminuire la temperatura di condensazione nel periodo invernale e aumentare quella di evaporazione nel periodo estivo, grazie al minor carico agli scambiatori di calore in parzializzazione e al controllo della temperatura all’utenza che permette di lavorare a temperature più vicine a quelle di ciclo. Con l’adozione dell’inverter inoltre si avrà un notevole risparmio in fase di accensione e gli spunti che il compressore dovrà eseguire nell’arco della sua vita saranno notevolmente diminuiti. Questo comporta sia un risparmio energetico sia una maggiore prospettiva di vita del compressore.
In particolare si vedrà come la regolazione a velocità variabile applicata al compressore brushless, porti notevoli vantaggi in ogni situazione di carico rispetto alle applicazioni con regolazione on-off e con motori asincroni trifase comandati da inverter.
Saranno valutati inoltre, i possibili vantaggi derivanti dall’impiego della velocità variabile alle pompe di circolazione sia alle utenze che agli scambiatori di calore a terreno
A comparative study of form and theology in the works of Flannery O'Connor and Simone Weil
No full textIn this comparative study of the form and theology of Flannery O'Connor and Simone Weil I interrogate how Weil's philosophical writings and her theology illuminate O'Connor's use of both narrative and non-fictional forms, and her Catholicism. The Introduction analyses how Weil's concept of superposed reading provides a new method of approaching both O'Connor, her writings, and O'Connor
studies, and focuses on how such apparently different women interconnect. Chapter One explores how both Weil and O'Connor attempt to write their theologies on the
souls of their readers yet are each subject to constraints imposed by form. Weil's concept of locating equilibrium between incommensurates is discussed, and her
distinctively philosophical approach to fictions and fictionality is used to investigate O'Connor's notion of prophetic fictions and the writer's role. Chapter Two assesses how both writers revivify Christian paradoxes. Weil's monstrous concept of affiiction, and O'Connor's use of the grotesque genre to jolt secular man into an
awareness of the sacred are scrutinised. Chapter Three studies how both writers consider an encounter between God and man is possible through the action of grace. My Conclusion interrogates how Weil's work can deepen our understanding of O'Connor's writings, and examines how successful O'Connor is at realising a truly
Christian literature. I conclude that despite being a writer of powerful fictions, O'Connor can not be totally successful in her mission as writer-prophet because
ultimately fiction escapes orthodoxy

Preservation: Dry. Remarks: Former MNHN, Paris. The catalogue number MZSP 105250 is mentioned twice in Simone’s (2014) paper, among the paratypes of M. ibitingus Simone, 2014 and M. benthovus. This duplicity was a mistake by the author: the latter is an erroneous designation and should be disregarded. The only valid paratype lots for M. benthovus are the ones shown above.Published as part of Cavallari, Daniel C., Dornellas, Ana Paula S. & Simone, Luiz Ricardo L., 2016, Second annotated list of type specimens of molluscs deposited in the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil, pp. 1-59 in European Journal of Taxonomy 213 on page 10, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2016.213, http://zenodo.org/record/384012
Developing a new frame for categorising use cases of RFID in the fashion and apparel sector
No full textThis paper proposes a new frame of reference for classifying the deployments of Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technique in the field of fashion and apparel retailing. This frame comprehends all different use cases that can be found in the apparel retail sector, and it updates and expands what has already been done in scientific literature in this field. After a comprehensive analysis of the scientific literature, business journals, web portals, websites and blogs, the mentioned frame was built and it counts two levels. At a first level, 6 different categories of use cases were defined and described. At a greater detail, i.e. at level 2, each one of these categories was broken into 1 to 4 specific use cases, and these level 2 use cases describe very precise objectives pursued by an RFID implementation in the given business sector. Eventually, the proposed frame was validated by a panel of industry partners. The authors believe that the frame of reference proposed could be extremely useful for researchers and practitioners, because it presents a comprehensive, complete and up-to-date framework for categorizing deployments of RFID in the apparel and fashion retail, outlining opportunities and new research spaces abut RFID deployments in the industry
Was bringt die Föderalismusreform? Wahrscheinliche Effekte der geänderten Zustimmungspflicht
No full textThe recently enacted reform of German federalism is supposed to make legislation faster, more efficient and better. To what extent are these expectations justified? In order to assess the likely effects of the reform, this study uses a research design that was recently applied by the Research and Reference Services of the German Bundestag (parliament): we estimate the future effects of the reform by analyzing the impact it would have had on the legislation in the 14th and 15th term of the Bundestag if it had already been been in force at that time. In particular we ask: To what extent would the number of laws requiring the consent of the states' chamber, the Bundesrat, have been reduced? Which type of laws would have been affected by this reduction - the more controversial ones, or the less controversial ones? Which policy sectors would have seen the greatest reduction? How much would the reduction have increased the government's capacity to act effectively? Would the legislative process have been accelerated? -- Die verabschiedete Föderalismusreform soll die Gesetzgebung in Deutschland schneller, effizienter und besser machen. Inwiefern sind diese Erwartungen berechtigt? Zur Abschätzung der Reformfolgen auf die Bundesgesetzgebung folgen wir in dem vorliegenden Working Paper einer Vorgehensweise, die der Wissenschaftliche Dienst des Bundestages kürzlich in einer Studie angewandt hat: Die Auswirkungen der Föderalismusreform insbesondere auf die Zustimmungspflicht werden anhand der Gesetzgebung der 14. und 15. Legislaturperiode untersucht. Wir fragen insbesondere: Wie stark hätte sich der Anteil der Zustimmungsgesetze verringert, wenn die neuen Zustimmungsregeln schon in diesen beiden Legislaturperioden gegolten hätten? Wären eher zwischen Regierung strittige oder unstrittige Gesetze von der Zustimmungspflicht befreit worden? Welche Politikbereiche wären betroffen? Wie sehr hätte sich die politische Handlungsfreiheit der Bundesregierung erhöht? Wäre die Gesetzgebung durch die veränderten Zustimmungsregeln beschleunigt worden?
Deploying RFID in the fashion and apparel sector: An "in the field" analysis to understand where the technology is going to
No full textThe paper performs a review of the literature of RFID deployments in the fashion and apparel retail sector: 95 papers from different sources were carefully analyzed and organized in a proper data base, and the contents of these papers were used to build a data base of RFID projects in the mentioned sector. The information stored in the data base were then organised in descriptive statistics that depict the situation of RFID projects: the statistics describe the papers we used to build our data base and, more important, the overview of RFID projects that we reviewed, such as the types of products where item-level tags are employed the most (apparel, footwear or accessories), the partition of projects and stores per geographic area and per type of projects (feasibility studies, pilot projects or full deployments). Also, the use cases of RFID pursued were reported, together with respective number of deployments and percentage values, and the same was done with results achieved, categorized in 6 main different clusters. Eventually, a statistics was reported to try to link the RFID use case investigated by a project to its possibility to evolve into a full deployment, and the results of this statistics could greatly help managers to choose the best use cases of RFID to be pursued for achieving competitive advantage
