Introduction
2017
The book is devoted to three key questions concerning the relationship between complexity and natural language. Briefly, such questions are: (a) What kind of complexity for natural language? (b) Which theory of language in the perspective of complexity? (c) What sorts of methods and models in the analysis of the observed phenomena? All the essays in this volume show the reference to complexity as a constant element. However, the use of the singular may not be entirely appropriate.
Modelling of Systems with a Dispersed Phase: “Measuring” Small Sets in the Presence of Elliptic Operators
2016
When modelling systems with a dispersed phase involving elliptic operators, as is the case of the Stokes or Navier-Stokes problem or the heat equation in a bounded domain, the geometrical structure of the space occupied by the dispersed phase enters in the homogenization process through its capacity, a quantity which can be used to define the equivalence classes in \(H^1\). We shall review the relationship between capacity and homogenization terms in the limit when the number of inclusions becomes large, focusing in particular on the situation where the distribution of inclusions is not necessarily too regular (i.e. it is not periodic).
Il legittimo affidamento nel bilanciamento della Corte costituzionale e della Corte europea dei diritti dell'uomo in materia di retroattività legisla…
2018
The chapter examines the Constitutional Court's jurisprudence on legislative retroactivity, which is compared to the jurisprudential direction of the European Court of Human Rights. In particular, it is concerned with assessing the compatibility of retroactive laws to the so-called right to peaceful enjoyment of property, referred to in the European Convention on Human Rights.
L'istituzione dei Liberi consorzi di Comuni e delle Città metropolitane in Sicilia, ovvero della specialità vagheggiata
2018
L'istituzione dei liberi Consorzi di Comuni e delle città metropolitane ha impegnato l'Assemblea regionale nella precedente legislatura, senza che sia stata prodotta una disciplina organica, in grado di dare attuazione all'art. 15 dello Statuto tenendo conto anche dei vincoli alla potestà legislativa esclusiva della Regione. Di qui le pronunce della Corte costituzionale. Il saggio esamina la relativa problematica.
Corrispondere al limite. Simone Weil: il pensiero e la luce
2002
La ricerca presentata nel volume si concentra sulle riflessioni più strettamente filosofiche di Simone Weil, lasciando sullo sfondo quelle politiche, nel tentativo di proporre un’ermeneutica originale degli scritti meno strutturati di Weil. A partire dai Primi scritti filosofici fino all’opera più frammentaria, ma teoreticamente più densa, i Quaderni, si vuole offrire una lettura dettagliata e unitaria di alcune nozioni cardine del pensiero weiliano, nella convinzione che il contributo teoretico da esse aperto sia tra quelli più acuti e fecondi della Francia degli anni Trenta. Nel primo capitolo si rintracciano le linee della riflessione gnoseologica weiliana attraverso, da una parte, un po…
Companies and Company Law in England, 16th to 19th Centuries: Legal Personality, Limited Liability and Pink Unicorns
2020
the contribution explores the early developments of company law in England, from the Sixteenth century onwards, focusing especially on the emergence of the concepts of legal personality and limited liability
Interpreting studies: a critical view from within
2009
El presente artículo describe y analiza la evolución histórica de los Estudios de Interpretación, que pasan de ser una entidad independiente de miras estrechas e impulsada por consideraciones profesionales a configurarse como una disciplina académica más amplia, que aborda todo tipo de interpretación en el ámbito de los Estudios de Traducción. En el texto se explican sus limitaciones y puntos débiles en términos de tamaño, factores infraestructurales y humanos, al tiempo que se trata el efecto de su integración en el marco de los Estudios de Traducción. El artículo concluye con una serie de sugerencias para la consolidación de la disciplina dirigidas a los responsables en este ámbito.The pa…
Stir bar sorptive-dispersive microextraction for trace determination of triphenyl and diphenyl phosphate in urine of nail polish users
2018
Abstract This work describes a new analytical method useful for monitoring the human exposure to the endocrine-disrupting plasticizer triphenyl phosphate (TPP) via nail polish use. The method allows trace determination of this parent compound and its main metabolite, namely diphenyl phosphate (DPP), in urine samples of nail polish users. The method is based on a novel microextraction technique termed stir bar sorptive-dispersive microextraction (SBSDME) using a magnetic composite made of CoFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles embedded into a mixed-mode weak anion exchange polymer (Strata™-X-AW), followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). The main parameters involved in t…
Multicommutation cold vapour atomic fluorescence determination of Hg in water.
2002
Abstract A multicommutation-based method has been developed for the on-line direct atomic fluorescence spectrometric (AFS) determination of Hg in waters without any previous sample treatment. The performance of the proposed procedure has been compared with that of a conventional AFS system based on continuous mode measurements. In short, the use of multicommutation, together with a reduction of the size of the liquid–gas phase separator, provides an increase of the laboratory productivity by improving the sample throughput by a factor of 3.6 and strongly reduces the sample consumed by a factor of 6 and reagent consumed by a factor of 8.4. The waste generation is reduced by a factor of 2.4 a…
Cold vapour atomic fluorescence determination of mercury in milk by slurry sampling using multicommutation
2004
Abstract A highly sensitive mechanized method has been developed for the determination of mercury in milk by atomic fluorescence spectrometry (AFS). Samples were sonicated for 10 min in an ultrasound water bath in the presence of 8% (v/v) aqua regia, 2% (v/v) antifoam A and 1% (m/v) hydroxilamine hydrochloride, and after that, they were treated with 8 mmol l −1 KBr and 1.6 mmol l −1 KBrO 3 in an hydrochloric medium. Atomic fluorescence measurements were made by multicommutation, which provides a fast alternative in quality control analysis, due to the easy treatment of a large number of samples (approximately 70 h −1 ), and is an environmentally friendly procedure, which involves a waste ge…
