Codice classico e linguaggio moderno. Le centrali termoelettriche di Giuseppe Samonà
È nella dialettica tra codice classico e codice moderno, espressa dal confronto a distanza tra John Summerson e Bruno Zevi, che si può leggere l’opera di Giuseppe Samonà: quel “parlare architettura”, attraverso cui è possibile leggere le radici classiche che accompagnano costantemente la sua produzione. Nella tesi si vuole verificare in che modo Samonà raccoglie la sfida moderna, mantenendo però, di fondo, la propria identità ottocentesca, attraverso lo studio della sua produzione architettonica industriale; in particolare, l’idea che anche la costruzione industriale possa esprimere un carattere monumentale trova la sua applicazione nel progetto della centrale di Trapani, del 1962, ultima d…

COVID-19 Pandemic: New Prevention and Protection Measures
2022
As of the end of February 2021, more than 420,000,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been reported worldwide, with 5,856,224 deaths. Transmission of the different genetically engineered variants of SARS-CoV-2, which have been isolated since the beginning of the pandemic, occurs from one infected person to another by the same means: the airborne route, indirect contact, and occasionally the fecal–oral route. Infection is asymptomatic or may present with flulike symptoms such as fever, cough, and mild to moderate and severe respiratory distress, requiring hospitalization and assisted ventilation support. To control the spread of COVID-19, the World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for …
«Viva el señor San Antonio, pues que tanto nos ampara»: los santos y su representación en la literatura popular de los siglos XVIII y XIX
2016
En la Edad Moderna la religión impregnaba la vida cotidiana, y los santos eran personajes comunes a los que recurrir en caso de necesidad. Las hagiografías, desde el ámbito oficial, difundían la fama de estas figuras, pero también había una notable circulación oral y escrita de literatura popular religiosa (sobre todo pliegos de cordel y gozos) que los daba a conocer en todos los ámbitos sociales. Primero, esbozaremos las características generales de la santidad en la literatura popular valenciana del XVIII, y después nos centraremos en el caso de la Beata Inés de Benigànim, de devoción local y prolongada en el tiempo (siglos XVII a XX). A través de estos textos podremos comprender la conce…
Il carattere maiuscolo nella norma ortografica tedesca : aspetti linguistici, storici e glottodidattici
2010
Caratteri maiuscoli e minuscoli costituiscono in tutte le lingue un inventario parallelo di grafemi cui si ricorre per la realizzazione grafica dei fonemi, e la cui differenziazione funzionale si è sviluppata nel corso dei secoli. Oggi la grafia non marcata è costituita nella generalità dei casi dal carattere minuscolo, avendo specularmente assunto il maiuscolo funzioni aggiuntive. Esso non rappresenta solo la realizzazione grafica del fonema, ma assolve a più funzioni su altri piani del sistema della lingua. Il carattere maiuscolo, in quanto espressione di vari principi ortografici, è pertanto connotato dalla polifunzionalità. Uno degli ambiti di quest’ultima è l’evidenziazione di determin…
IS THERE A CONTINENTAL BIAS IN TRADE?
2011
The relationship between geography and trade is a central topic in international economics. This paper investigates the potential existence of a continental bias in world trade flows on a sample of 182 countries over the period 1990-2006. Using traditional estimation techniques and recent developments in the econometric analysis of the gravity equation, we find robust evidence of an economically significant continental bias in trade. It implies that, other things equal, countries located on the same continent trade more with each other than countries located on different continents. A continent-by-continent analysis reveals that Oceania, America, Europe and Asia are behind this result. Afri…

Many-body Green's function theory for electron-phonon interactions: ground state properties of the Holstein dimer
2015
We study ground-state properties of a two-site, two-electron Holstein model describing two molecules coupled indirectly via electron-phonon interaction by using both exact diagonalization and self-consistent diagrammatic many-body perturbation theory. The Hartree and self-consistent Born approximations used in the present work are studied at different levels of self-consistency. The governing equations are shown to exhibit multiple solutions when the electron-phonon interaction is sufficiently strong whereas at smaller interactions only a single solution is found. The additional solutions at larger electron-phonon couplings correspond to symmetry-broken states with inhomogeneous electron de…
Prolonging in utero-like oxygenation after birth diminishes oxidative stress in the lung and brain of mice pups☆
2013
Background Fetal-to-neonatal transition is associated with oxidative stress. In preterm infants, immaturity of the antioxidant system favours supplemental oxygen-derived morbidity and mortality. Objectives To assess if prolonging in utero-like oxygenation during the fetal-to-neonatal transition limits oxidative stress in the lung and brain, improving postnatal adaptation of mice pups. Material and methods Inspiratory oxygen fraction (FiO2) in pregnant mice was reduced from 21% (room air) to 14% (hypoxia) 8–12 h prior to delivery and reset to 21% 6–8 h after birth. The control group was kept at 21% during the procedure. Reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) glutathione and its precursors [γ-glut…
Oxidation-Induced Changes in the ALD-Al2O3/InAs(100) Interface and Control of the Changes for Device Processing
2018
InAs crystals are emerging materials for various devices like radio frequency transistors and infrared sensors. Control of oxidation-induced changes is essential for decreasing amounts of the harmful InAs surface (or interface) defects because it is hard to avoid the energetically favored oxidation of InAs surface parts in device processing. We have characterized atomic-layer-deposition (ALD) grown Al2O3/InAs interfaces, preoxidized differently, with synchrotron hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES), low-energy electron diffraction, scanning tunneling microscopy, and time-of-flight elastic recoil detection analysis. The chemical environment and core-level shifts are clarified for w…
