“Dialogue between Translators and Authors. The Example of Claudio Magris”
The paper focuses on the forms of cooperation between authors and their translator(s) in all cases in which the two operate simultaneously. This issue is explored on the example of the Trieste-born author Claudio Magris, who cultivates a very close relationship with most of his translators.
Writing and translation have been coexisting in this author throughout his career and have resulted in the heightened sensitivity of Magris the author with regards to translation, as the first part of the analysis shows. The second part describes the dialogue between Magris and the translators of his works, and ends with the more general question of the significance and role of such a form of exchange

Three-dimensional structure of human protein kinase CK2
The three-dimensional crystal structure of the triple-point mutant of the catalytic subunit of human protein kinase CK2alpha has been determined at 2.4 Angstrom resolution. Microcrystals of mutant CK2 catalytic subunit were obtained by a protein-crystallization method based on thin-film nanotechnology. These microcrystals (of about 20 mum in diameter) were used for diffraction data collection by means of the microfocus beamline at the ESRF synchrotron. A comparison between the human protein kinase CK2alpha and the corresponding enzyme from a lower organism (Zea mays) is made
Mid-fidelity numerical approach for the investigation of wing-propeller aerodynamic interaction
The present activity was aimed to validate the capability of a vortex particle-based mid-fidelity aerodynamics code for the study of the aerodynamic interaction between a wingtip-mounted propeller and a wing with a 25% chord flap. The wing-propeller model considered in this work was widely investigated in literature, both by experiments and high-fidelity CFD simulations and represented a benchmark case for this kind of aerodynamic study, reproducing a typical feature of tiltrotors and electrical distributed propulsion aircraft configurations. In particular, in the present activity results of simulations performed with DUST, the mid-fidelity aerodynamic solver of Politecnico di Milano were compared in terms of wing loads distributions, propeller airloads and flow fields with both experimental data and high-fidelity CFD simulations available in literature. Analyses on the upstream and downstream effects on the propeller and wing performance showed that the benefits arising from the installation of a wingtip-mounted propeller can be correctly predicted. Moreover, the significant lift and propeller performance enhancement as well as the interactional flow physics characterizing this configuration were accurately captured by the solver. Generally, this validation activity showed a quite good agreement with high-fidelity CFD results, thus confirming that the mid-fidelity numerical approach implemented in DUST is suitable for the investigation of wing-propeller aerodynamics interaction. The quite lower computational effort required by this mid-fidelity approach, while maintaining accuracy with respect to high-fidelity CFD methods opens a new scenario for the preliminary stage of design of novel tiltrotor or eVTOL aircraft characterized by complex interactional aerodynamic mechanisms
