CITES and Cacti a user's guide
2012
This user’s guide covers the widely traded cactus family and how it is regulated by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). The guide explores the major groups of cacti in trade, their distribution, conservation status, use and levels of trade as well as the likelihood of illegal trade. All CITES Appendix I taxa and a wide selection of Appendix II taxa are covered in detail. Major exemptions from CITES regulations are also outlined, including cacti not covered by CITES. The guide includes a fully illustrated PowerPoint training presentation with comprehensive speaker notes on CD-ROM.

The conservation of biodiversity is a worldwide recognised priority, now fully included in the inter-national agenda of the United Nations. Several international conventions call states to work towards the halt of the depletion of biodiversity and the promotion of a better environment. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) are widely recognised as today’s leading environmental conventions. CITES monitors and regulates the international trade of plants and animals and it is in force since 1975. During 36 years of action it saved from extinction several species and it is enforced in almost all states. The CBD goes …
Estimation of Air Pollutant Emissions in “Turbo” and in Conventional Roundabouts
2013
The road pollutant emissions, above all in urban context, are correlated to many infrastructural parameters and to traffic intensity and typology. The research work on road junction geometry, carried out in European research centres, has recently allowed to design new road intersection types which are of undoubted interest, especially in terms of traffic functionality and safety, like the turbo roundabouts (in which right-turn manoeuvres do not conflict with the circulating flow). The main objective of this paper is to propose a model for the estimation the performances and the pollutant emissions into turbo roundabouts. A comparative analysis between conventional roundabout and turbo round…
Paesaggio, piano, progetto: problemi lessicali e altro
2012
The notion of landscape and the techniques for landscape design must necessarily be based on two principal regulatory provisions, the European Landscape Convention and in Italy the law on cultural heritage and landscape. Consideration must also be given to what is meant by the term ‘landscape' in normal and specialist parlance and to the nature of the training of landscape architects, because it is from all this that the ambiguities and misunderstandings that surround the notion of landscape originate. Consideration must also be given to the relations between planning and real and local transformations, because the contents and procedures for the formulation of designs depend on them. Lands…
Valencia y la destrucción de la ciudad conventual
2015
En la conquista de Valencia en 1238 y su consecuente cristianización se encuentra la génesis de la ciudad conventual. Con los siglos la presencia creciente y dominante de conventos y monasterios determinó diversos aspectos de la ciudad, siendo el desarrollo urbano uno de ellos. No obstante, la influencia y poder que ejercían estos cenobios fue mermando paulatinamente con la reducción del número de integrantes y de sus fundaciones. El punto de no retorno llega con el siglo XIX cuando las sucesivas desamortizaciones y la consolidación de la burguesía suponen su desvanecimiento. El presente estudio pretende realizar un acercamiento al papel que ejerció la destrucción de conventos y monasterios…
Trajectory tracking for a Non-Conventional UAV
2008
The aim of the present paper is the design of a flight control system for a Tandem – Canard UAV, useful in the whole flight envelope, both Out of Ground Effect (OGE) and In Ground Effect (IGE) conditions. Because of the particular arrangement of the studied aircraft, a general mathematical model has been built in order to obtain non-linear analytical equations for longitudinal aerodynamic coefficients both in OGE and in IGE flight. So the dynamic behaviour of the UAV may be studied during every flight phases i.e. in the whole range of altitude. To consider the strong variation of aerodynamic parameters due to the ground effect presence, a robust control technique (LQG/LTR) has been used to …
Diritto all'ascolto e partecipazione dei minori non accompagnati
2021
Il contributo analizza il quadro normativo comunitario e nazionale in tema di tutela dei minori non accompagnati. In particolare, lo studio si sofferma sui profili del diritto all'ascolto, disciplinato nelle fonti internazionali e nazionali, e sulla partecipazione dei minori, anche attraverso la presentazione di un caso studio. Pur nella consapevolezza dell''intrinseca complessità della questione, si ritiene tuttavia che occorra ancora, sia a livello europeo che nazionale, una maggiore attenzione da parte dei legislatori e una visione di insieme in tema di protezione del minore, che tenga conto della peculiarità della situazione del minore migrante.
Leggi retroattive di contenimento della spesa pubblica e giusto processo (a margine della sentenza della Corte costituzionale n. 12 del 2018)
2018
The essay is about limits imposed to the legislature to enact retroactive statute law in “civil matters”. It tackles the dichotomy existing between the European Court of Human Rights’ and the Italian Constitutional Court’s jurisprudence on the theme. The first one has repeatedly ruled that the legislature is not prevented from regulating, through new retrospective provisions, rights derived from the laws in force. Nevertheless, the principle of the rule of law and the notion of a fair trial enshrined in Article 6 of the European Convention of Human Rights preclude, except for compelling public-interest reasons, interference by the legislature with the administration of justice designed to i…
Formalismo e antiformalismo nell'interpretazione dei trattati nei recenti lavori della Commissione del diritto internazionale
2019
In its Draft Conclusions on subsequent agreements and subsequent practice in relation to the interpretation of treaties the International Law Commission (ILC) has taken a formalistic approach to treaty interpretation, according to which the interpreter should aim at discovering the will of the Parties (and the true meaning of a treaty clause) by using a single combined operation. This means that the interpreter should throw into a crucible all the means of interpretation indicated in Articles 31 and 32 of the 1969 Vienna Convention. The present paper suggests that the depiction of the interpreter as an alchemist who blends different ingredients and gives them the proper weight is a cover th…
