Earthquake-resistant construction techniques in Italy between 1880 and 1910: alternatives to reinforced concrete
2017
The series of earthquakes that struck Italy between the late nineteenth century and the first decade of the twentieth century spurred a lively debate about earthquake-resistant buildings that, through the influence of foreign experience, resulted in specialised literature and competitions that gave rise to a series of interesting patents. Innovative construction solutions for seismic areas were largely developed after the earthquake that struck the cities of Messina and Reggio Calabria in 1908, alongside the parallel advances in reinforced concrete. New earthquake-resistant construction solutions were based on a reassessment of traditional construction methods that used bricks, timber or me…

OBSERVATION OF THE TeV GAMMA-RAY SOURCE MGRO J1908+06 WITH ARGO-YBJ
2012
The extended gamma ray source MGRO J1908+06, discovered by the Milagro air shower detector in 2007, has been observed for about 4 years by the ARGO-YBJ experiment at TeV energies, with a statistical significance of 6.2 standard deviations. The peak of the signal is found at a position consistent with the pulsar PSR J1907+0602. Parametrizing the source shape with a two-dimensional Gauss function we estimate an extension \sigma = 0.49 \pm 0.22 degrees, consistent with a previous measurement by the Cherenkov Array H.E.S.S.. The observed energy spectrum is dN/dE = 6.1 \pm 1.4 \times 10^-13 (E/4 TeV)^{-2.54 \pm 0.36} photons cm^-2 s^-1 TeV^-1, in the energy range 1-20 TeV. The measured gamma ray…

Variability and Uncertainty Challenges in Scaling Imaging Spectroscopy Retrievals and Validations from Leaves Up to Vegetation Canopies
2019
Imaging spectroscopy of vegetation requires methods for scaling and generalizing optical signals that are reflected, transmitted and emitted in the solar wavelength domain from single leaves and observed at the level of canopies by proximal sensing, airborne and satellite spectroradiometers. The upscaling embedded in imaging spectroscopy retrievals and validations of plant biochemical and structural traits is challenged by natural variability and measurement uncertainties. Sources of the leaf-to-canopy upscaling variability and uncertainties are reviewed with respect to: (1) implementation of retrieval algorithms and (2) their parameterization and validation of quantitative products through…
Red and far-red sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence as a measure of plant photosynthesis
2015
Remote estimation of Sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence emitted by terrestrial vegetation can provide an unparalleled opportunity to track spatiotemporal variations of photosynthetic efficiency. Here we provide the first direct experimental evidence that the two peaks of the chlorophyll fluorescence spectrum can be accurately mapped from high-resolution radiance spectra and that the signal is linked to variations in actual photosynthetic efficiency. Red and far red fluorescence measured using a novel airborne imaging spectrometer over a grass carpet treated with an herbicide known to inhibit photosynthesis was significantly higher than the corresponding signal from an equivalent untreated…
TERREMOTO E RICOSTRUZIONE: MESSINA 1908, VERSO UNA PROGETTAZIONE “CONSAPEVOLE” : La teoria della maggiore resistenza delle strutture “circolari” e il…
2019
TERREMOTO E RICOSTRUZIONE: MESSINA 1908, VERSO UNA PROGETTAZIONE “CONSAPEVOLE” La teoria della maggiore resistenza delle strutture “circolari” e il contributo della pubblicistica al dibattito sulla costruzione antisismica. Le storie raccontate in questo volume esaminano congiuntamente il duplice sguardo della ricerca sulla progettazione orientata in senso antisismico e sviluppata nell’ambito del dibattito nato a Messina dopo il terremoto del 1908. Se ampie si rivelano le testimonianze di forme di progettazioni “consapevoli”, cioè di accorgimenti che integrano il problema sismico all’interno di convenzioni costruttive di durata secolare, durante le fasi che hanno preceduto le molteplici rico…
«Nolite extollere in altum cornu vestrum». Ipotesi sul campanile della chiesa della Santissima Annunziata di Messina
2022
This article addresses a series of hypothesis concerning the octagonal space indicated in Guarino Guarini’s drawings of the Church of the Santissima Annunziata in Messina in his Architettura Civile. The façade of the church was completed around 1660 by Guarino Guarini and presented a «prodigiously high» bell tower at the corner, which collapsed during the 1693 earthquake and was later rebuilt shorter. The entire church was destroyed during the 1908 earthquake. Guarini’s drawings published in his treatise suggest that there must have been an octagonal chapel with columns at the corners under the tower; perhaps it was the baptistery of the church. Alternatively, the octagon can be identified …
Simone de Beauvoir bajo la dictadura franquista: las traducciones al catalán
2015
Simone de Beauvoir fue traducida por primera vez al catalán durante el franquismo. El objetivo de este artículo es investigar la censura institucional que experimentaron, en la segunda mitad de la década de los sesenta del siglo pasado, seis obras de Beauvoir para ser publicadas en catalán, desde que las editoriales solicitaron los permisos hasta conseguir las autorizaciones. Después de contextualizar brevemente las traducciones, el artículo se centra en el estudio de los seis expedientes de censura, que nos permitirá averiguar cómo reaccionó la dictadura ante la posibilidad de traducir obras de Beauvoir (considerada por el régimen autora peligrosa por filocomunista, feminista y atea), quié…
