The Early Bronze Age III and IVA1 at Tell Mardikh/Ebla and Its Region : Stratigraphic and Ceramic Sequences
No full textThe site of Tell Mardikh, ancient Ebla, in north inner Syria, had three periods of flourishing: in Early Bronze IVA, the age of the State Archives, Early Bronze IVB and Middle Bronze I–II, between ca. 2400 and 1600 BC. The volume by Agnese Vacca explores the phases of formation of this great urban culture between ca. 2750/2700 and 2450 BC (EB III–IVA1) by means of an accurate and in-depth analysis of stratigraphy, architecture, ceramic materials and small finds.
The analysis was carried out in part on the field, but it is also the brilliant result of a painstaking work of study of excavation records and files from the archives of the Ebla Excavation, which allowed the author to collect consistent evidence from individual buildings – like Building G2 and Building G5 – and to relate it with scattered evidence from other sectors of the town, leading to the reconstruction of a coherent picture of pre-Palace G phases. As concerns specifically the ceramic repertory, Vacca, starting with the evidence from Ebla, enlarges her analysis, singling out a specific pottery horizon of the Ebla region, whose relations with other contemporary assemblages in the Northern Levant are presented in detail. The resulting picture from Ebla and its region has been related with the contemporary evidence from the Northern Levant and Upper Mesopotamia and has been framed in the general background of the process of state formation in this very important region of the ancient Near East

The forgotten Roberto Vacca
Full text linkWho was Roberto Vacca? We do not know much about him. All the information I was able to gather has come from his nephew and namesake, an engineer and writer who devotes himself to science popularization. Roberto Vacca was born in Genoa in 1867 and died in the same city in 1924. He was an Italian lawyer with philosophical interests, but, as far as I now, he never held a university position. He spoke German and Russian and published two papers on psychology and judicial decisions before the First War. During the war he wrote a book while being held prisoner at Mauthausen in Austria
Form and Content: The irreconcilable contradiction in the Song-Writing of Ewan MacColl
No full textAn analysis and a discussion of the songwriting of Ewan MacColl, the "architect" of the British folk revival and probably the most outstanding songwriter of the British isles. The essay shows how, MacColl did not limit himself to draw inspiration from the folklore but employed in his songs forms and themes derived from the avant-gardes of the 20th century which, notably the techniques of Soviet cinema and of the Brechtian theatre
An H1-conforming virtual element for Darcy and Brinkman equations
No full textThe focus of this paper is on developing a virtual element method (VEM) for Darcy and Brinkman equations. In [L. Beirão da Veiga, C. Lovadina and G. Vacca, ESAIM Math. Model. Numer. Anal. 51 (2017)], we presented a family of virtual elements for Stokes equations and we defined a new virtual element space of velocities such that the associated discrete kernel is pointwise divergence-free. We use a slightly different virtual element space having two fundamental properties: the [Formula: see text]-projection onto [Formula: see text] is exactly computable on the basis of the degrees of freedom, and the associated discrete kernel is still pointwise divergence-free. The resulting numerical scheme for the Darcy equation has optimal order of convergence and [Formula: see text]-conforming velocity solution. We can apply the same approach to develop a robust virtual element method for the Brinkman equation that is stable for both the Stokes and Darcy limit case. We provide a rigorous error analysis of the method and several numerical tests.</jats:p
