Toržestva pri berlinskom dvore v doneseniâh sekretarâ anglijskogo posla Filippa Plantamura

2020

Celebrations were an important element in the functioning of royal and princely courts in Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. They added splendor to the residences in which they were held and demonstrated the status of rulers: well-directed festivities spoke of their organisers’ political status. Such events not only took place in the closed courtyards of palaces, but also in the open air, which guaranteed a larger audience and made it possible to invite the media. Such events were also observed by foreign diplomats, who described them in their reports. This type of information can be found in the correspondence of Philip Plantamour, secretary of the English Ambassador Georg…

Vers le contrôle de l'alignement et de l'orientation : théorie et expérience

2010

This thesis is about the control and characterisation of the alignment and orientation of molecules by ultra short laser pulses on a theoretical and experimental approach. Alignment corresponds to a symmetric angular distribution of the molecular axis peaked along the laser field axis, whereas orientation provides an asymmetric distribution favouring one spatial direction. Orientation by sudden two-colour (2+1) pulses is studied extensively for the non resonant case and conditions required for achieving significant orientation are explored. A second two-colour scheme, where the second harmonic is in quasi resonance with a vibrational level of the molecule, is also presented and discussed. T…

Bitcoin e cyber self-laundering: lo sguardo sospettoso della Cassazione sull'impiego di criptovaluta

2023

In Judgment n. 27023 of 2022, the italian Supreme Court recognized the confgurability of the crime of self-money laundering in the conduct of a person who uses the proceeds of crimes committed by him to purchase bitcoin, not directly, but through the intermediation of cryptocurrency exchange companies. The Author takes the pronouncement as a starting point to probe the extent to which the culture of suspicion, with which the anti-money laundering legislation is imbued, and the stigmatization of cryptocurrency have influenced the Supreme Court's guidance, in which there emerges a strong temptation to establish a kind of automatism between the input of illicit proceeds into the bitcoin system…

“Judicial Independence vs. Judicial Accountability. Judicial Selection Models for Constitutional Courts. A comparative analysis”

2012

Abstract La cronaca politica degli ultimi anni riporta un numero rilevante di confronti, dal tono più o meno conflittuale, tra le istituzioni politiche e quelle giurisdizionali. Di particolare rilevanza è che tale sorta di opposizione tra giustizia e politica coinvolga non solo l’operato delle magistrature ordinarie ma anche quello delle Corti costituzionali: le supreme garanti e guardiane di quei principi sui quali dovrebbe fondarsi l’intero ordinamento. A dispetto di ciò, esistono importanti occasioni in cui le autorità politiche e quelle giurisdizionali intrecciano i loro interessi, ed una di queste è proprio il momento in cui vengono reclutati i giudici costituzionali. Tuttavia, se…

The effect of social information from live demonstrators compared to video playback on blue tit foraging decisions.

2019

Video playback provides a promising method to study social interactions, and the number of video playback experiments has been growing in recent years. Using videos has advantages over live individuals as it increases the repeatability of demonstrations, and enables researchers to manipulate the features of the presented stimulus. How observers respond to video playback might, however, differ among species, and the efficacy of video playback should be validated by investigating if individuals’ responses to videos are comparable to their responses to live demonstrators. Here, we use a novel foraging task to compare blue tits’ (Cyanistes caeruleus) responses to social information from a live …

Algunas reflexiones acerca de la stjue de 9 de julio de 2020 sobre los pactos novatorios en materia de cláusulas suelo

2021

The Sentence of the Court of Justice of the European Union of July 9, 2020 comes to answer the five questions that, in its preliminary question, the Court of First Instance and Instruction No. 3 of Teruel asks about the validity of the new agreements in the context of the floor clauses, establishing jurisprudential doctrine on this matter about which our Supreme Court had previously ruled in its Judgments of October 16, 2017, in the sense of considering the agreed floor clause null as a consequence of the novation agreement and, subsequently, those of April 11, 2018 and September 13, 2018 in the opposite direction, declaring that the novation agreement was valid. It is a long-awaited and in…

A glial amino-acid transporter controls synapse strength and courtship in Drosophila

2008

1097-6256 (Print) Journal Article Research Support, N.I.H., Extramural Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't; Mate choice is an evolutionarily critical decision that requires the detection of multiple sex-specific signals followed by central integration of these signals to direct appropriate behavior. The mechanisms controlling mate choice remain poorly understood. Here, we show that the glial amino-acid transporter genderblind controls whether Drosophila melanogaster males will attempt to mate with other males. Genderblind (gb) mutant males showed no alteration in heterosexual courtship or copulation, but were attracted to normally unappealing male species-specific chemosensory cues. As a resul…

Stéréophonie et littérature : résonnance et reverbération dans les chansons de gestes et romans des XIIe et XIIIe siècles

2016

The chansons de geste and chivalric romances from the 12th and 13th centuries are a faithful testimony of the reality of their time, and sensory perceptions are among these testimonies. The written word provides not only descriptive and objective information, but also the impressions perceived and conveyed by the author, which are the sensations the reader has to get acquainted with in order to make the story their own. Mentions to sound effects and the sound features of a particular space are remarkable, and a compilation of these references from various texts allows us to study the sounds, resonances, and spaces through which the sound event gains prominence in the narrative. These includ…
