Charged supramolecular assemblies of surfactant molecules in gas phase

2016

The aim of this review is to critically analyze recent literature on charged supramolecular assemblies formed by surfactant molecules in gas phase. Apart our specific interest on this research area, the stimuli to undertake the task arise from the widespread theoretical and applicative benefits emerging from a comprehensive view of this topic. In fact, the study of the formation, stability, and physicochemical peculiarities of non-covalent assemblies of surfactant molecules in gas phase allows to unveil interesting aspects such as the role of attractive, repulsive, and steric intermolecular interactions as driving force of supramolecular organization in absence of interactions with surround…

Identità e qualità di una scuola. Il valore aggiunto dell’appartenenza a una comunità

2017

Un Istituto scolastico per svolgere efficacemente il suo lavoro educativo, per autovalutarsi e per migliorare il servizio adeguandolo alle esigenze reali degli studenti deve “appartenere” a qualcuno, nel senso che ci deve essere una comunità di riferimento, caratterizzata da ideali condivisi, che veda in quell’istituto scolastico l’espansione dei suoi ideali, cioè che lo consideri lo strumento per rendere partecipi gli alunni della propria cultura affinchè la migliorino e la diffondano a loro volta. Nella Costituzione italiana sono chiaramente espressi i principi morali su cui si basa la convivenza civile nel nostro Paese e che pertanto vanno proposti a tutti i giovani affinchè li interiori…

Mocna kobieta - słaby mężczyzna: demaskatorski mit w twórczości Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette

2020

Colette’s work reveals the evolution of the woman’s self-awareness that took place in the 20th century, when she rejected the then-publicly accepted image of wife and mother. The author of the Claudine series through moral novelty, by addressing issues of gender identity and homosexuality, undermines stereotypes perpetuating inequalities between the sexes and male domination in the private and public sphere. She also changes the traditional way of portraying a woman in literature, creating a new type of heroine who provoked partners while fighting for her own independence.

Hysteretic Systems Subjected to Delta Correlated Input

1994

The paper deals with the evaluation of the probabilistic response of a single degree of freedom elastic-perfectly plastic system subjected to a delta correlated input process. The probabilistic characterisation of the response is here obtained by considering the accumulated plastic deformations as a compound homogeneous Poisson process independent of the external input. In this case the former can be considered as an external noise acting on the linear system. A closed form solution is also obtained and the analytic expression is compared with the customary Monte-Carlo method.

Efficient Time Integration of Maxwell's Equations with Generalized Finite Differences

2015

We consider the computationally efficient time integration of Maxwell’s equations using discrete exterior calculus (DEC) as the computational framework. With the theory of DEC, we associate the degrees of freedom of the electric and magnetic fields with primal and dual mesh structures, respectively. We concentrate on mesh constructions that imitate the geometry of the close packing in crystal lattices that is typical of elemental metals and intermetallic compounds. This class of computational grids has not been used previously in electromagnetics. For the simulation of wave propagation driven by time-harmonic source terms, we provide an optimized Hodge operator and a novel time discretizati…

Institutional Autonomy and Academic Freedom in the Nordic Context — Similarities and Differences

2013

Owing to their common history, similarities in language and culture, long traditions in political collaboration and the shared Nordic societal model, an assumption is often made that the operational and regulatory context of universities is similar in the five Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. In this article, we examine the relationship between the Nordic higher education institutions and their specific governments. The interpretation of institutional autonomy and academic freedom in the Nordic countries is discussed with support from recently collected empirical data, Nordic university legislation and the topical research literature. We describe the differenc…

Branching Ratios and Spectral Functions of $\tau$ Decays: final ALEPH measurements and physics implications

2005

The full LEP-1 data set collected with the ALEPH detector at the $Z$ pole during 1991-1995 is analysed in order to measure the $\tau$ decay branching fractions. Extensive systematic studies are performed, in order to match the large statistics of the data sample corresponding to over 300 000 measured and identified $\tau$ decays. Branching fractions are obtained for the two leptonic channels and eleven hadronic channels defined by their respective numbers of charged particles and $\pi^0$'s. Using previously published ALEPH results on final states with charged and neutral kaons, corrections are applied to the hadronic channels to derive branching ratios for exclusive final states without kao…

ISSUES ON THE POSITION OF EUROPEAN EASTERN COUNTRIES IN WORLD RANKINGS INCLUDING ELEMENTS OF TAXATION

2012

Taxation is an essential component of any nation. Taxation, with its economic and social implications, is taken into account when the world rankings are made. The level of fiscal pressure, the design of the tax system, the number of taxes, the relationship between taxpayers with the fiscal administration, the principles of taxation, the existence of a real partnership between the taxpayer and the state are a part of fiscal elements that determine attractiveness or rejection from a particular country. Without claiming an exhaustive approach, our work presents some fiscal aspects from Eastern European countries found in world rankings, by emphasizing the influence of these factors on the posi…
