The specific epithet honors Mr. Shaun Martin, the Director of Education Program for Nature— WWF in the U.S.A. who sponsored a small grant in 2009 for gecko expeditions in Vietnam. Suggested English name: Martin’s Bent–toed Gecko; Vietnamese name: “Thằn lằn chân ngón Martin”. Distribution and natural history. The karst forest surrounding Lai Châu Town has long been degraded and converted into agricultural lands and farms, rendering the remaining karst forest as secondary forest, with a number of peaks rising to approximately 1200–1300 m. a.s.l (Plate 4 A). The karst outcroppings are isolated from Hoang Lien Son Mountain and are formed by underground water movement inside deep caves. Cyrtodactylus martini were found at night between 1900–2030 h, mostly within crevices at the entrance of a small, dry cave (Plate 4 B) but some individuals were also found on the karst surface outside the cave at night. Paratype UNS 0 467, an adult female, was gravid with two eggs. PLATE 4. A: Karst forest, macrohabitat of Cyrtodactylus martini sp. nov. in Lai Chau province; B: Karst crevices, microhabitat of Cyrtodactylus martini sp. nov. in Lai Chau province. Comparison with other species. Cyrtodactylus martini sp. nov. differs from C. badenensis Nguyen et al., C. darmandvillei (Weber), C. eisenmanae Ngo, C. grismeri Ngo, C. jarakensis Grismer et al., C. jellesmae (Boulenger), C. laevigatus (Darevsky, C. semenanjungensis Grismer & Leong, C. sermowaiensis (De Rooij), C. thirakhupti Pauwels et al., and C. wallacei Hayden et al. by the presence (versus absence) of precloacal pores in males. It further differs from Cyrtodactylus aaroni Günther & Rösler, C. aequalis Bauer, C. agusanensis (Taylor), C. annandalei Bauer, C. auribalteatus Sumontha et al., C. baluensis Mocquard, C. batucolus Grismer et al., Cyrtodactylus bichnganae Ngo & Grismer, C. biordinis Brown & McCoy, C. brevipalmatus (Smith), C. caovansungi Orlov et al., C. capreoloides Rösler et al., C. chanhomeae Bauer et al., C. consobrinoides (Annandale), C. consobrinus Malkmus, C. deveti (Brongersma), C. epiroticus Kraus, C. erythrops Bauer et al., C. feae (Boulenger), C. fumosus (Müller), C. gubernatoris (Annandale), C. halmahericus (Mertens), C. huynhi Ngo & Bauer, C. interdigitalis Ulber, C. jarujini Ulber, C. klugei Kraus, C. loriae (Boulenger), C. louisiadensis (De Vis), C. macrotuberculatus Grismer & Ahmad, C. marmoratus (Gray), C. mimikanus (Boulenger), C. novaeguineae (Schlegel), C. phongnhakebangensis Ziegler et al., C. pulchellus Gray, C. redimiculus King, C. robustus Kraus, C. roesleri Ziegler et al., C. russelli Bauer, C. sadleiri Wells & Wellington, C. salomonensis Rösler et al., C. seribuatensis Youmans & Grismer, C. serratus Kraus, C. slowinskii Bauer, C. takouensis Ngo & Bauer, C. tamaiensis (Smith), C. tigroides Bauer et al., C. tiomanensis Das & Lim, C. tripartitus Kraus, C. tuberculatus (Lucas & Frost), C. variegatus (Blyth), C. wetariensis (Dunn), C. yangbayensis Ngo & Chan, C. ziegleri Nazarov et al. and C. zugi Oliver et al. by the absence of femoral pores. Cyrtodactylus martini sp. nov. can be distinguished from C. aurensis Grismer, C. cavernicolous Inger & King, C. macrotuberculatus Grismer & Norhayati, C. marmoratus Gray, C. pubisulcus Inger, C. pulchellus Gray, C. semenanjungensis Grismer & Leong, C. stresemanni Rösler & Glaw, and C. tiomanensis Das & Lim by lacking a precloacal groove. Cyrtodactylus martini sp. nov. is similar to C. zhaoermii Lei & Hui in having precloacal pores (4 vs. 3–4), but these pores are smaller and separated by one poreless scale, it has a larger size (64.4–96.2mm vs. 48.1–59.8mm), and lacks distinct tail segments, bearing large, posteriorly directed tubercles in whorls, numbering nine to ten per caudal annulus. Cyrtodactylus martini sp. nov. is superficially similar to C. consobrinus (Peters) in having reticulations on the head but differs from the latter by being significantly smaller in size (64.4–96.2mm vs. 125mm SVL), having fewer precloacal pores (4 vs. 9–11), fewer tubercle rows (16–19 vs. 18–20), and fewer lamellae under the fourth toe (16– 19 vs. 22–28), lacking tubercles on the lateral skin folds, and having the subcaudal scales consisting of two medial longitudinal rows of enlarged, irregularly shaped scales as opposed to a single medial row of enlarged scales. Cyrtodactylus martini sp. nov. also resembles C. wayakonei Nguyen et al. in having reticulations on top of the head but differs by being larger in size (maximum 96.2mm vs. maximum 86.8 mm), having fewer precloacal pores in males (four separated by one poreless scale vs. 6–8 in a chevron), higher number of ventral scales (39–43 vs. 31– 35), intersupranasals (1–2 vs. 0), number of subdigital lamellae on fourth toe (22–24 vs. 19–20), and lower number of paravertebral tubercles (24–27 vs.> 30 as counted from the published figure of the holotype of C. wayakonei, IEBR A. 2020.01). Other differences between the two species are summarized in Table 2. Cyrtodactylus martini sp. nov. differs from other Sunda shelf Cyrtodactylus including C. leegrismeri Chan & Norhayati, C. baluensis (Mocquard), C. batucolus Grismer et al., C. brevipalmatus (Smith), C. elok Dring, C. fumosus (Müller), C. ingeri Hikida, C. jarakensis Grismer et al., C. lateralis (Werner), C. malayanus (De Rooij), C. matsuii Hikida, C. nuaulu Oliver et al., C. oldhami (Theobald), C. pantiensis Grismer et al., C. peguensis (Boulenger), C. quadrivirgatus Taylor, C. seribuatensis, C. sworderi (Smith), C. tautbatorum Welton et al., C. yoshii Hikida by the presence of reticulations on top of head and the absence of caudal tubercles.

Tragedia di un artista di strada. La pratica della cancellazione da eutanasia artistica ad articidio
No full textThis article investigates the role and meaning of practices of erasure in contemporary Italian street art culture. Taking Blu's choice of cancelling all his graffiti in the city of Bologna as a case study, I will investigate the limits and possibilities of this artistic performance in both political and social terms. Given the antagonist yet dialogic and dynamic relationship that connects street artists, civic institutions and urban spaces, I will argue that practices of erasure are a key component of the particular form of communication occurring among these actors. Through the analysis of #OccupyMordor, one of Blu's most famous works, I will describe the relationship the author entertained with the city of Bologna highlighting, at the same time, the structural problems raised by institutional museification projects
Il lucchese Francesco Diodati, i suoi pronostici a stampa e il ritrovamento di una nuova edizione di Pesaro
No full textThe recent discovery in the Archivio Storico Diocesano in Lucca of a
16th-century prognostication printed in Pesaro raises a series of historical and
bibliographical questions. After a systematic survey of the biographical information
we have on the author, Francesco Diodati, a physician and astrologer from
Lucca who lived in Bologna and Roma, the article then looks at several of his
unpublished documents and updates the bibliography of his publications. The
history of this specific volume is then examined. It belonged most recently to
the internationally well-known antiquarian bookseller Giuseppe Martini, who
may have acquired it after recognising an unusual Dante woodcut illustration
on the title-page, which had been used in Venice by Pietro Piase for the edition
of the Commedia published in November 1491. The typographical features of
the volume are then analysed, although no certain attribution of its printer can
be made. It could have been the celebrated printer of Jewish origins Gershom
Soncino or, more probably, Pietro Cafa, a type founder from Capodistria, who
collaborated with Aldo Manuzio and subsequently became a printer working in
partnership with Soncino
Pensiero computazionale: una quarta competenza dopo scrivere, leggere e far di conto
No full textInternational audienceThe author explains what computational thinking consist of, its importance and evolution and its main results in education university in contemporary society in which Internet allows a continuous exchange of information between things and objects (Internet of things) of everyday life This is important because allows everyone to increase our knowledge of the environment and our ability to react to events On the other hand –the main risk is a global information, non differentiated on indi- vidual need of people For the author, this means learning the linguistic forms with which we can build models of reality, better suited to being responsible citizens in information societyMuovendo da osservazioni su Internet, l’infrastruttura tecno-comunicativa che consente a un numero di persone ogni anno maggiore di restare sempre connessa, ovunque ci si trovi, a poco prezzo, senza interruzioni dovute alla propria mobilità, Martini spiega che cosa sia il pensiero computazionale, per quale ragione sia impor- tante svilupparlo, e quali conseguenze tutto ciò abbia per la formazione, anche universitaria. Infatti la IoT-Internet of things, poiché permette la raccolta e lo scambio di informazioni fra macchine e oggetti d’uso quotidiano in modo diffuso e pervasivo, consente di accrescere la nostra conoscenza dell’ambiente e la nostra capacità di reagire agli eventi Martini però evidenzia un rischio: la diffusione dell’informazione è uniformata al modo dominante di vedere il mondo; si rischia così di perdere la capac- ità di presentare questa moltitudine di informazioni in maniera differente, a seconda delle necessità delle persone Esporsi al pensiero computazionale, conclude Martini, significa apprendere le forme linguistiche con cui si può costruire modelli della realtà, più adatti ad essere cittadini responsabili nella società dell’informazion

Joint functional calculi and a sharp multiplier theorem for the Kohn Laplacian on spheres
No full textLet b be the Kohn Laplacian acting on (0; j)-forms on the unit sphere in Cn. In a recent paper of Casarino, Cowling, Sikora and the author, aspectral multiplier theorem of Mihlin{Hormander type for b is proved in the case 0 < j < n &#x100000; 1. Here we prove an analogous theorem in the exceptionalcases j = 0 and j = n &#x100000; 1, including a weak type (1; 1) endpoint estimate. We also show that both theorems are sharp. The proof hinges on an abstractmultivariate multiplier theorem for systems of commuting operators.<br/
The Arabic Aristotle in the 10th Century Bagdad. The Case of Yahya ibn ‘Adi's Commentary on the Metaph. Alpha Elatton
No full textIn this study, I aim to show, through the analysis of a Christian author of the 10th century, how commentaries on the works of Aristotle were continuously made, from the Greek commentators until Averroes. Taking as an example some texts of the Metaphysics, we can see that, even without direct contact with the original Greek version, several translations, both from Greek and the Syriac, were compared by the author. In those cases, it was not only a translation, but also a work of commentary on the text of Aristotle
