Caterina Colombini, o della cugina sedotta. Una ‘ricostruzione’ della figura di Caterina attraverso i testi
No full textIn this essay the author demonstrates that it is possible to “reconstruct” the figure of Caterina Colombini (1340?-1387) – Giovanni Colombini’s cousin – through a group of texts: the hagiography of Caterina, the letters sent to her by Giovanni Colombini and, finally, Giovanni’s biography written by Feo Belcari. The author divides his text into four parts: the first part analyzes the content of Caterina’s hagiography; the second examines the linguistic form of the hagiographic text; in the third, the author analyzes the latent meaning of the window, a symbolic place where Giovanni and Caterina converse on divine topics; in the last part, to conclude, the teachings that Giovanni gives to Catherine and her spiritual daughters – the Gesuate – are analyzed
On the Mass-less Vector Fields in a Rindler Space
No full textWe study the quantum theory of the mass-less vector fields on the Rindler space. We evaluate the Bogoliubov coefficients by means of a new technique based upon the use of light-front coordinates and Mellin transform. We briefly comment about the ensuing Unruh effect and its consequences

Caterina Tarabotti Unveiled
No full textCaterina Tarabotti (1615–1693) never identified herself as a painter in contemporary
documents or claimed authorship of any picture with her signature. She would have
surely joined the ranks of the many anonymous women painters of her time, were
it not for the art critic and historian Marco Boschini (1602–1681). In his La Carta
del Navegar Pitoresco (1660), Boschini was the first to notice Caterina’s talents and
provide information about her life.1
Alluding to her namesake saint and surname,
Boschini infused the painter’s biography with lyric flair. A light coming out of the
Varotari workshop, Caterina was, according to Boschini, a virgin very gifted in
painting. She herself honored art with her achievements, which came effortlessly.
Comparing her to a silver lamp that never burns out, the author, with a sense of
optimism, concluded that Caterina would live forever and her name would bear
eternal light and splendor

Publisher Copyright: © 2021 by the author. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.Organic light emitting transistors (OLETs) represent a relatively new technology platform in the field of optoelectronics. An OLET is a device with a two-fold functionality since it behaves as a thin-film transistor and at the same time can generate light under appropriate bias conditions. This Review focuses mainly on one of the building blocks of such device, namely the gate dielectrics, and how it is possible to engineer it to improve device properties and performances. While many findings on gate dielectrics can be easily applied to organic light emitting transistors, we here concentrate on how this layer can be exploited and engineered as an active tool for light manipulation in this novel class of optoelectronic devices.Peer reviewe

Recovery time and propagation effects of passenger transport disruptions
No full textWe propose a method to evaluate public transport network vulnerability. We study the evolution of the passenger Volume Over Capacity (VOC) ratio throughout the network to measure the spatial and temporal extent of the impacts caused by an unplanned service segment disruption. The VOC ratio provides an indication of the on-board travel comfort, an important level-of-service indicator, as well as reflects the residual capacity for absorbing additional demand. Because of the dynamic nature of public transport systems, disturbances propagate through the network in both time and space. Our modelling approach is able to capture transit system dynamics and quantify the extent to which the network exhibits spillover effects. We apply the method to the case of the rapid public transport system of Stockholm Sweden We demonstrate how the changes in network saturation and the corresponding recovery time can be quantified.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Transport and Plannin
