No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2013.Com a intenção de delinear o modo pelo qual o escritor italiano Alessandro Baricco se inseriu no sistema literário brasileiro e os caminhos percorridos pelos seus livros traduzidos, esta dissertação dá voz às experiências tradutórias de seus tradutores. A inserção de Bariccono Brasil tem seu início em 1997, através de uma proposição da Profa. Dra. Roberta Barni à editora Iluminuras da tradução de Oceano Mare. A partir daí, outras sete obras foram publicadas no Brasil, sendo três delas traduzidas por Roberta Barni e as outras quatro por quatro tradutores diferentes. De um lado, considera-se o tradutor como figura principal namediação entre culturas, e, de outro, se analisa a realidade desta figuradentro do sistema literário, sua invisibilidade, seus limites e o exercíciode sua profissão. A pesquisa conta, ainda, com críticas e resenhas referentes ao autor italiano publicadas em jornais consagrados no Brasil, considerando estas como parte constituinte da imagem de Baricco refletida em território nacional. Abstract : Intending to delineate the way the Italian writer Alessandro Baricco has been inserted in the Brazilian literary system and the paths his translated books have followed, this thesis gives voice to the translating experiences of his translators. Baricco's insertion in Brazil began in 1997, through a personal project of Dr. Roberta Barni, with her translation of Oceano Mare. Since then, seven other of his works have been published in Brazil, three of which were translated by Roberta Barni and the other four by four different translators. On the one hand,the translator is considered as the main figure in mediation betweencultures and, on the other, this figure's reality is analyzed within theliterary system: its invisibility, its limits and its professional practice. Criticisms and reviews of this Italian author published in well established Brazilian newspapers are also considered, with the understanding that they are part of Baricco's image reflected here

Development of a membrane-less microfluidic thermally regenerative ammonia battery
No full textThermally regenerative ammonia battery is a promising approach to make use of waste heat and generate electrical energy. However, according to literature, the price of the energy obtained by this device is much higher than alternative renewable technologies (such as wind, solar, geothermal, etc.). To make the process more viable for applicative purposes, it would be necessary to reduce dramatically the cost of the membrane or to avoid it. Hence, the aim of the present work is to increase the economic figures of thermally regenerative ammonia battery avoiding the use of membranes. It was concluded that this result can be obtained by developing the process in a microfluidic flow cell with laminar flow conditions. In particular, it has been demonstrated for the first time that it is possible to obtain quite high power densities in the absence of a membrane in a micro cell. By operating the process at proper flow rates and inter-electrode distances, the membrane-less microfluidic thermally regenerative ammonia battery allowed to achieve even higher power densities than conventional TRAB operated under batch mode and similar operating conditions. In addition, it was shown that the process can be improved using copper deposited on carbon electrodes and moderate temperatures. In fact, at 50 degrees C a power density of 73.4 W m(-2) was obtained. (C) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
La maturità di Alessandro Fei del Barbiere, in bilico tra Maniera e Riforma
No full textThis article studies the mature career of the Florentine painter Alessandro Fei del Barbiere (1537-1592), beginning with the rediscovery of the 'Ascension' altarpiece formerly in the Albizi Chapel in the destroyed church of San Pier Maggiore, Florence. Studying this painting and others recorded in 1584 by the biographer Raffaello Borghini, such as the two altarpieces for Santa Maria delle Grazie and the Madonna dell'Umiltà in Pistoia, the author reconstructs a body of works showing how in the 1580s Fei gradually went beyond the archaic style of his apprenticeship - he had been trained by Ridolfo del Ghirlandaio and Pierfrancesco Foschi, but was also marked by the Maniera of Vasari - evolving towards naturalism in both mimesis and pictorial handling. In Florence, his development partly parallels that of Santi di Tito and his circle, but Fei was also influenced by a probable sojourn during the early part of that decade in Rome, where he could have been inspired by Girolamo Muziano and the painters working for Pope Gregory XIII. Among other proposals, the author suggests that the artist was responsible for decorating the chancel of Fiesole Cathedral (c. 1584-1589), which consisted of an altarpiece, only rarely discussed by scholars, and a cycle of frescoes hitherto attributed to Nicodemo Ferrucci
Effect of mode of operation, substrate and final electron acceptor on single-chamber membraneless microbial fuel cell operating with a mixed community
No full textWaste minimization and circular thinking are to be achieved in order to cope with the limited amount of resources of our planet. In this perspective, bio-electrochemical systems (BESs) can contribute to the global balance with their ability to extract chemical residual energy from wastewater and transform it directly into electrical current. BESs development has been limited by the cost connected to reactor design, in which membranes and cathode catalyst constituted a major drawback. In this paper we report the optimization process of a simple reactor without membranes or precious catalyst that produced 47.1 mW mâ2, which is more than what achieved with configurations including membranes, operating in similar conditions (glycerol as substrate and hydraulic retention times of 3 days). In opposition to what is usually reported for conventional divided microbial fuel cells (MFCs), we have found that in this kind of reactor fermenting substrates (mainly glycerol) can give higher current density than non-fermentable ones (acetate). Feeding modality and proper electrode orientation were confirmed to have a dramatic impact on power output. Finally, a possible niche for the exploitation of our single chamber membraneless MFC was pointed out to exist in bio-refinery industry

Gorbachev’s Perestroika, Deng’s China, and European social democracies during the last
years of the Cold War
Dynamical friction on globular clusters in core-triaxial galaxies: is it a cause of massive black hole accretion?
No full textThe present work extends and deepens previous examinations of the evolution of globular cluster orbits in elliptical galaxies, by means of numerical integrations of a wide set of orbits in five self-consistent triaxial galactic models characterized by a central core and different axial ratios. These models are valid and complete in the representation of regular orbits in elliptical galaxies. Dynamical friction is definitely shown to be an efficient cause of evolution for the globular cluster systems in elliptical galaxies of any mass or axial ratio. Moreover, our statistically significant sample of computed orbits confirms that the globular cluster orbital decay times are, at least for clusters moving on box orbits, much shorter than the age of the galaxies. Consequently, the mass carried into the innermost galactic region in the form of decayed globular clusters may have contributed significantly to feeding and accreting a compact object therein
Thermally Regenerative Ammonia Batteries for Waste-Heat Exploitation
No full textIt is widely accepted that one of the most important issue to be faced by the scientific community is how to sustain the modern way of living and the related energy demand. While a long term target is the transition to a full-renewable energy system, a closer exigency is the optimization of the processes already existing. It has been calculated that about 370.41 TWh of potential energy is annually lost in Europe in the form of waste-heat from the industrial sector [1]. Waste heat comprises all the thermal energy with a temperature below 130 °C [2] (or 300 °C [1]), that hardly can find a useful application with the state of the art industrial technologies. Indeed, electrochemical technologies are nowadays under investigation for the potentiality they own to harvest, at least, part of this energy [2]. Among the others, Thermally Regenerative Ammonia Batteries (TRAB) were reported to have very high current density and simple operation [3], but most of the work accomplished up to now was devoted to the optimization of the generation phase in conventional divided reactors. In this work, our efforts for the optimization of the regeneration phase are reported, along with a detailed exposure of the apparatus adopted. In addition, the use of an undivided continuous-flow, microfluidic reactor is proposed to sustain higher current densities with reduced investment cost. The effect of some relevant operative parameters on the maximum current density that can be gained in such a microfluidic device is also discussed

Study of Capacitive Electrodes for Reverse Electrodialysis Processes
No full textIt has been calculated that the energy dissipated wherever the rivers get to the sea this corresponds to an amount of about 2 TW of power [1]. Recovering part of this energy could attenuate the dependency of our economic system from fossil fuels. The techniques conceived to exploit this blue energy are grouped within the family of the salinity gradient technologies, where pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) and reverse electrodialysis (RED) are regarded as the most established technologies [2]. Nevertheless, their power is limited respectively by various factors including the kinetics of electrodes reactions. Conversely, the use of capacitive electrodes proposed by Brogioli in 2009, does not seem to be affected from these limitations, relying only on ions movement across the electrical double layer [3]. The literature highlights that RED and capacitive electrode can take advantage of their combination, implementing the Capacitive RED (CRED) [4]. In this framework, different electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry, impedance spectroscopy and chronoamperometry can be used to characterize the performance of the electrodes. These different strategies are here compared and applied to the characterization of novel, super-critical-carbon-dioxide-prepared electrodes
