Returns To Education During And After The Economic Crisis: Evidence From Latvia 2006–2012
2017
We employ EU-SILC micro data for Latvia to study how returns to education changed during the economic crisis of 2008–2009 and afterwards. We found that returns to education increased significantly during the crisis and decreased slightly during the subsequent economic recovery. The counter-cyclical effect was evident in nearly all population groups. After the crisis, education became more associated than before with a longer working week and a higher employment probability. Furthermore, we show that returns to education in Latvia are generally higher in the capital city and its suburbs than outside the capital city region, as well as for citizens of Latvia than for resident non-citizens and…

STIMA DEI PROFILI DI VELOCITA’ DEI FLUSSI IPERCONCENTRATI: analisi di sensitività sui parametri dell’equazione di Bagnold.
2017
Nel presente lavoro l'attenzione è focalizzata sulla dinamica di propagazione delle colate detritiche, fenomeni naturali di elevata pericolosità e forza distruttiva. Com’è noto, una colata detritica si verifica quando il materiale solido (sedimenti e materiale sciolto) di versanti caratterizzati da elevate pendenze viene destabilizzato dal deflusso di ingente volume d’acqua. Durante la propagazione della miscela acqua-sedimento, elementi anche di elevata dimensione (massi, alberi,..) possono essere mobilitati aumentando la forza distruttiva della colata con conseguenti possibili ingenti danni a edifici e infrastrutture, perdita di vite umane e ostruzioni (parziali o totali) dei corsi d’acqu…

Il Progetto per le acque del parco sud di Milano
2013
The history of the cities shows as disinterest towards suburbs and bad government produced degradation in all the Countries of the planet. The project - Energy of the Memory - is located into the Agricultural Park in the south area of Milan. The project integrates the secular witness of the farms into the landscape by raising awareness of the generations for the culture of safeguard of the park, and for a cutting-edge production. Within this “geographic restoration” there is the integration of a matrix energy linked to water. The project gives indications of territorial policy and involves the re-use of architectural and hydric systems, with a new vocation for workshops and ecoterritorial m…

Evolution of quadrupole collectivity in N=80 isotones toward the Z=64 subshell gap: The B(E2;2+1→0+1) value of 142Sm
2015
It was shown that the evolution of the B(E2; 2+ 1 → 0+ 1 ) values in N = 80 isotones from Te to Nd is affected by the underlying subshell structure. This manifests itself in the observation of the local suppression of the B(E2) value at Z = 58 with respect to the neighboring nuclei 136Ba and 140Nd. To investigate this shell sensitivity toward the Z = 64 subshell gap, the B(E2; 2+ 1 → 0+ 1 ) value of the unstable nucleus 142Sm was measured utilizing the projectile Coulomb excitation technique. The radioactive ion beam (RIB) experiment was performed at the REX-ISOLDE facility at CERN. The B(E2) value of 32 (4) W.u. reflects the impact of the π(1g7/2 2d5/2) subshell closure at Z = 64 with resp…

PROPAGATING INTERFACES IN A TWO-LAYER BISTABLE NEURAL NETWORK
2006
The dynamics of propagating interfaces in a bistable neural network is investigated. We consider the network composed of two coupled 1D lattices and assume that they interact in a local spatial point (pin contact). The network unit is modeled by the FitzHugh–Nagumo-like system in a bistable oscillator mode. The interfaces describe the transition of the network units from the rest (unexcited) state to the excited state where each unit exhibits periodic sequences of excitation pulses or action potentials. We show how the localized inter-layer interaction provides an "excitatory" or "inhibitory" action to the oscillatory activity. In particular, we describe the interface propagation failure a…
Does oral health affect food comfortability and bolus properties during consumption of dairy products in elderly population?
2017
The elderly population is growing increasingly. In 2030, 1/3 of the population will be over 60 years old. However this population has specific nutritional needs and often, oral impairments such as loss of tooth and/or decrease of salivary flow. Therefore it is necessary to develop foods adapted for the elderly, in terms of organoleptic properties and nutritional composition. In this context, the purpose of this work is to study the impact of oral impairments of elderly persons on food comfortability and bolus properties during the consumption of dairy products.76 elderly persons (ages 66 to 88, 42 women and 34 men), with or without oral health problems in terms of dental and/or salivary sta…
