Size of the dark side of the solar neutrino parameter space
2000
We present an analysis of the MSW neutrino oscillation solutions of the solar neutrino problem in the framework of two-neutrino mixing in the enlarged parameter space $(\ensuremath{\Delta}{m}^{2},{\mathrm{tan}}^{2}\ensuremath{\theta})$ with $\ensuremath{\theta}\ensuremath{\in}(0,\ensuremath{\pi}/2).$ Recently, it was pointed out that the allowed region of parameters from a fit to the measured total rates can extend to values $\ensuremath{\theta}g~\ensuremath{\pi}/4$ (the so-called ``dark side'') when higher confidence levels are allowed. The purpose of this Rapid Communication is to reanalyze the problem, including all the solar neutrino data available, to discuss the dependence on the stat…
Predictors of enhancing human physical attractiveness: Data from 93 countries
2022
People across the world and throughout history have gone to great lengths to enhance their physical appearance. Evolutionary psychologists and ethologists have largely attempted to explain this phenomenon via mating preferences and strategies. Here, we test one of the most popular evolutionary hypotheses for beauty-enhancing behaviors, drawn from mating market and parasite stress perspectives, in a large cross-cultural sample. We also test hypotheses drawn from other influential and non-mutually exclusive theoretical frameworks, from biosocial role theory to a cultural media perspective. Survey data from 93,158 human participants across 93 countries provide evidence that behaviors such as a…
Muyong and subak. Farm production, cultural heritage and environmental challenges in the terraced rice fields of Bali, Indonesia and the Ifugao count…
2017
The terraced rice fields of Bali and the northern Philippines are not just spectacular agricultural production sites located in hilly or mountainous areas. Their development by the Hindu Balinese and the non-Christianized Ifugao includes a strong religious dimension as well as a complex social organization around the management of water resources. The recent rise of tourism, coupled with the UNESCO world heritage recognition of these agricultural areas, leads today to several challenges that may jeopardize the balance of these societies: tourism overcrowding, loss of authenticity, abandonment of farming by young people. Are these sophisticated local farming systems sustainable in the contex…
Earth / Lands. Earthen Architecture in Southern Italy / Architetture in terra nell'Italia del Sud
2011
Accettando gli stimoli provenienti dalle nostre preoccupazioni ambientali riscopriamo ora le architetture in terra delle regioni del mediterraneo, sperimentandole ancora in pochi nuovi progetti. Con un nuovo sguardo cosciente verso l’ambiente possiamo riscoprire la terra come una nuova tecnologia, una nuova invenzione per la costruzione del XXI secolo. In epoca di globalizzazione abbiamo necessità di valorizzare le culture locali e le costruzioni in terra, che sono tuttora la tecnologia dominante nei paesi non industrializzati e che possono essere oggetto di un processo di investimento di conoscenze quale è stato quello per il cemento armato nel XX secolo. La conservazione delle architettur…
5-6 gadus vecu bērnu prasmes orientēties apvidū veidošanās pirmsskolas izglītības iestādē
2019
Maģistra darba tēma ir “ 5-6 gadus vecu bērnu prasmes orientēties apvidū veidošanās pirmsskolas izglītības iestādē”. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt 5-6 gadus vecu bērnu prasmes orientēties apvidū veidošanos. Darbs sastāv no 50 lappusēm, 4 nodaļām, kas ietver sevī 7 attēlus, 12 tabulas, izmantotās literatūras sarakstu ar 41 vienību un 2 pielikumus. Gan Skola 2030, gan VISC (Valsts izglītības un satura centrs) veidotajās pirmsskolas izglītības programmās ir minēts, ka, pirmsskolu beidzot, bērnam ir jāprot orientēties telpā un plaknē. Orientēšanās apvidū netiek atsevišķi izdalīta, kaut gan tā ir tikpat svarīga kā orientēšanās telpā un plaknē. 5 – 6 gadi ir vecums, kad bērnus sāk gatavot skolai, kur o…

Evidence of Middle and Upper Pleistocene shorelines in the area between Capo Mongerbino (Bagheria) and Piano Sperone (Altavilla Milicia), NC Sicily
2006
In the coastal tract between Capo Mongerbino (Bagheria) and Piano Sperone (Altavilla Milicia), some forms (caves, terraces, erosional surfaces) of marine origin and of remarkable morpho-tectonic importance have been located. The caves lie at different altitudes ranging from about 200 m a. s. l. (Grotta Mazzamuto) to 7 m a. s. l. (Cala dell’Osta); the terraced areas, comprised between 0 and 200 m a. s. l., are arranged in five orders. In Sicily, the coexistence of both glacial-eustatic cycles and a slow uplift, caused by the Pleistocenic tectonics, resulted into the sea showing itself under different forms at different altitudes, presumably dating back to Middle Pleistocene. The age of each …
Plio-Quaternary coastal landscape evolution of north-western Sicily (Italy)
2023
We present and discuss the results of a geomorphological and geological study aimed at reconstructing the Plio-Quaternary evolution of the NW Sicily coastal belt, a low strain rate region in the central Mediterranean Sea. We performed morphometric and field analysis of Quaternary marine terraces extracting more than 300 shoreline location points subdivided into six orders. The obtained dataset was validate by investigating the morphological changes along topographic profiles and comparing the extracted locations and elevations with the stratigraphic boundaries in the Plio-Quaternary units. We distinguished two contiguous coastal sectors characterized by different paleo-shoreline elevations …
Quantification of synmagmatic flow structures: a tool for Rock Quality Evaluation
2013
The result of the analysis using methods based on fractal geometry provides information about magmatic flux directions and mineral equilibrium processes in the crystallizing magma chamber. Additionally, the used methods may also provide important information for the rock industry, because they allow a fast and automatically evaluation of rock quality.
