La imagen y el líder, la aportación cinematográfica al carisma de Franco y José Antonio
2009
La economía carismática española fue singular; no por la impotencia de un aparato de propaganda ni por la (quizá obvia) inconsistencia de los líderes que absorbieron la empresa; lo fue sobre todo por la estructura en la que se insertaba la dualidad de sus protagonistas: Franco y José Antonio. Las dos tentativas de elevarlos al altar de la nación están horadadas por una barrena y el intento tiene la virtud de exhibir las fisuras. Quizá se deba al protagonista, acaso a la estructura misma del poder, tal vez al programa (o a su ambigüedad); no es impensable que obedezca a la irrelevancia (impertinencia, más bien) de los movimientos de masas para un periodo de guerra en fase terminal y, con may…
A história e a providência: cinema e carisma na representação de Franco e José Antonio Primo de Rivera
2012
Anos se passaram e os cerimoniais congelaram sua face repetitiva, codificada, tediosa. A José Antonio lhe corresponden tão somente a aflição ritual do 20 de novembro, solitária data em que a dor, ou sua coreografia, se rememorava. Em 1959, o cenário, porém, ganhou algo a mais: mudou do El Escorial para o Valle de los Caídos. Mais tarde, teve lugar a última farsa, o último furto. Era 20 de novembro de 1975. E o sepultado corpo de Franco extraiu de si a energía suficiente para arrebatar de José Antonio o único ritual que lhe restava desde 1938. A partir de entao, o 20 de novembro seria recordado pela morte do ditador. Recordado ou talvez prontamente sepultado pelo esquecimento.
Optimal slope units partitioning in landslide susceptibility mapping
2020
In landslide susceptibility modeling, the selection of the mapping units is a very relevant topic both in terms of geomorphological adequacy and suitability of the models and final maps. In this paper, a test to integrate pixels and slope units is presented. MARS (Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines) modeling was applied to assess landslide susceptibility based on a 12 predictors and a 1608 cases database. A pixel-based model was prepared and the scores zoned into 10 different types of slope units, obtained by differently combining two half-basin (HB) and four landform classification (LCL) coverages. The predictive performance of the 10 models were then compared to select the best perf…
Specific Identification of the Extinct Population of Sturgeons from the Rhône river by Sequencing of mtDNA from Bone Remains (Jardin d'Hiver, Arles, …
2008
XIV th ICAZ Remains Working Group Meeting; Sturgeon lived in the Rhöne river (France) until its complete extinction in the mid 1970's. Usually attributed to Acipenser sturio, it disappeared without certitude about species identity and about possible sympatry between Acipenser sturio and Acipenser naccarii as it occured in the Pô (Italy) and Guadalquivir (Spain) rivers. Genetic analyses on several sturgeon bone remains from the Arles' Jardin d'Hiver collection have been carried out to solve this question. These remains belong to sturgeons caught in the Rhône river. The mitochondrial DNA (cytochrome b) sequences clearly show that A. sturio lived in this river. Morphological comparisons betwee…
Flash-flooding of Ephemeral Streams in the Context of Climate Change
2021
Ephemeral streams, which are more extended than expected, entail a significant flood risk. Historically they have been underestimated due to their intermittent flow and the lack of knowledge on their hydro-geomorphology. Currently, European legislation recognizes their associated risk and supports research into them, adapting the scale and methodology to their characteristics. Based on the compilation of various works carried out in four Valencian catchments (Eastern Spain), this paper approaches the key questions of rainfall-runoff conversion and flood generation in ephemeral streams, taking into account their hydro-geomorphological specificity. Moreover, the consequences which derive from…
Heavy metals in coastal water systems. A case study from the northwestern Gulf of Thailand.
2005
A geochemical survey of the northwestern part of the Thailand Gulf (Inner Gulf) was carried out in order to define concentrations and distribution patterns of selected heavy metals (V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, and U) in the coastal system and estuarine area of the Mae Klong river. The results indicate the presence of two different sources of heavy metals in the studied environment and allowed us to identify a lithogenic component that significantly influences the composition of coastal waters and suspended particulate matter (SPM). Comparison of the normalized heavy metals concentrations both in the studied samples and in those reported for the Sn–W ores present in the surrounding areas suggests…
Severe Pollution in China Amplified by Atmospheric Moisture
2017
AbstractIn recent years, severe haze events often occurred in China, causing serious environmental problems. The mechanisms responsible for the haze formation, however, are still not well understood, hindering the forecast and mitigation of haze pollution. Our study of the 2012–13 winter haze events in Beijing shows that atmospheric water vapour plays a critical role in enhancing the heavy haze events. Under weak solar radiation and stagnant moist meteorological conditions in winter, air pollutants and water vapour accumulate in a shallow planetary boundary layer (PBL). A positive feedback cycle is triggered resulting in the formation of heavy haze: (1) the dispersal of water vapour is cons…
RECUPERARE L’INFRASTRUTTURA :L’HIGH LINE DI NEW YORK, 1929 - 2009.
2010
Designed by James Corner – Field Operation with Diller & Scofidio + Renfro, the High Line elevated Park is set on top of a forsaken elevated railroad structure in the old Manhattan’s meatpacking district. In over 20 years of abandonment, a lush urban wilderness has converted the High Line's tracks into a spontaneous greenway, whose unexpected beauty inspired the new park design, now matching with the huge regeneration of the Hudson Riverfront. The reuse of this abandoned infrastructure, claimed and partnered by the association Friends of the High Line, lean on some characteristic of the former viaduct which passes through buildings and runs nearly 30 feet in the air. Embodying the hybrid be…
Jaque al rey, juego de héroe: Vicente Blasco Ibáñez desde París, entre la heroificación y la República
2020
espanolVicente Blasco Ibanez, fundador de uno de los movimientos republicanos mas importantes de la Espana del primer tercio del siglo XX, fue elevado en vida a la categoria de heroe y simbolo del republicanismo. El gran novelista, periodista y politico, utilizo ese carisma para lanzar un feroz ataque contra la monarquia de Alfonso XIII y contra la Dictadura de Primo de Rivera a partir de 1923. Lo hizo con la ayuda de su secretario Carlos Espla y a traves de la prensa y los folletos sarcasticos. La influencia de estos papeles contribuyo, a su vez, a la glorificacion republicana de Blasco tras la proclamacion de la Segunda Republica Espanola EnglishVicente Blasco Ibanez, founder of one of th…
Large-Eddy Simulation e tecnica LS-PIV: lo studio della turbolenza superficiale
2021
Gli avanzamenti tecnologici degli ultimi decenni hanno fatto registrare la rapida diffusione di tecnologie innovative con cui condurre un monitoraggio ambientale più efficiente ed efficace. Nel campo del monitoraggio fluviale sono sempre più utilizzate le tecniche basate sull’elaborazione di immagini, fornendo una valida alternativa alle metodologie tradizionalmente adottate. Le tecniche ottiche restituiscono infatti misure non intrusive, assicurando migliori condizioni di sicurezza per gli operatori. I metodi ottici più utilizzati sono la Large-Scale Particle Image Velocimetry (LS-PIV) [1] e la Large-Scale Particle Tracking Velocimetry (LS-PTV) [2]. Le tecniche LS-PIV e LS-PTV si basano su…
