The Effect of Damage Functions on Urban Flood Damage Appraisal

2014

Flooding damage appraisal can been obtained by interpolating real damage data caused by historical flooding events or accounting the effects of a flood in terms of the depreciation of assets. Most often, the expected damage is evaluated by means of damage functions describing the relationship occurring between the damage and hydraulic characteristics of flood. The present paper aims to evaluate the uncertainty linked to the choice of the depth-damage function adopted in the flood damage analysis. Several possible depth-damage function formulations were selected in literature and applied to historical flooding events monitored in the "Centro Storico" catchment in Palermo (Italy). (C) 2013 Th…

Le molteplici conseguenze della perdita del rapporto parentale nel confronto tra gli ordinamenti

2020

The essay focuses on the damage caused by the loss of the parental relationship and, in particular, its consequences from a compensation point of view. Taking as its starting point a recent ruling of the Corte di Cassazione, the paper highlights how, in the Italian legal system, this type of damage has different, and significant, consequences for the injured party. In the second part of the essay, it will be seen how, in the English legal system, the so called damage for bereavement has only recently been introduced in the Fatal Accident Act 1976 and how its consequences differ considerably from what happens in the Italian legal system.

Use of a portable VIS NIR device to predict table olives quality

2019

There is a growing interest today in high-quality and sustainable production especially in the agro-food sector where the use of automated, precise and non-destructive monitoring analytical systems is spreading more and more. In table olives consumption colour and texture are very important quality attributes deriving from ripening, size of the cell wall, middle lamella and fibrous tissues that can be compromised by bruising during harvest operations or postharvest handling. Mechanical damage also accelerates physiological processes, which lead to senescence, spoilage and loss of nutritional value. Nocellara del Belice cultivar is one of the most important table olive varieties in Italy bot…

Il diritto delle obbligazioni nel pensiero di Adolfo di Majo. A margine di Obbligazioni e tutele.

2020

Il saggio ripercorre il fondamentale contributo degli studi del prof. Adolfo di Majo al diritto delle obbligazioni. L'attenzione del prof. di Majo si è soffermata su tutti i principali aspetti del diritto delle obbligazioni, con speciale riferimento al versante dei rimedi: adempimento in natura, risarcimento del danno, risoluzione. Il prof. di Majo può essere considerato il principale esponente della corrente di pensiero volta a valorizzare la fase delle tutele, intesa come fase autonoma del fenomeno giuridico. Il metodo adottato dal prof. di Majo è senza dubbio dogmatico, ma si tratta di una dogmatica temperata dall'attenzione alla dimensione materiale degli interessi. E ciò ha indotto l'a…

Compensation appraisal processes for the realization of hydraulic works in an agricultural area.

2015

The present work aims to rationalize the process of the damages valuation for the construction of hydraulic works, considering the economic and evaluative aspects. The study deal with the damages in the sense of ex post and ex ante valuation for the task of environmental protection and the temporary employment. In this process are examined the technical and practical implications. The problem of the ex post compensation is proposed in the form of an income statement. The valuation of the ex ante damage, during the design of interventions of hydraulic nature, affect the taxation of the hydraulic constraint and the avoided future damages, to compensate in advance. The valuation of the indemni…

Students' school‐level symptoms mediate the relationship between a school's observed moisture problems and students’ subjective perceptions of indoor…

2020

Moisture damage can influence the subjective assessment of indoor air quality (subjective IAQ) in various ways. We studied whether the frequency of symptoms reported across students at school level mediates the relationship between observed mold and dampness in a school building and students' subjective IAQ. To answer this research question, we tested a multilevel path model. The analyzed data were created by merging two nationwide data sets: (a) survey data from students, including information on subjective IAQ (N = 24,786 students); (b) data from schools, including information on mold and dampness in a school building (N = 222). After the background variables were adjusted, schools' obser…

I danni punitivi. Riflessioni in chiave comparatistica sui sistemi di common law e di civil law.

2014

La tesi ha ad oggetto l’istituto del risarcimento punitivo, del quale indaga natura, presupposti applicativi e profili funzionali nell’ambito degli ordinamenti di common law, con particolare riferimento all’ordinamento inglese e a quello statunitense. La parte finale del lavoro si occupa di individuare, in chiave comparatistica, punti di collegamento con le esperienze dei sistemi di responsabilità civile continentali, tentando di avviare una rilettura degli stessi in chiave polifunzionale ed assumendo, a tal fine, come banco di prova il risarcimento del danno non patrimoniale. The thesis deals with punitive damages, investigating their nature, applicative requirements and functions, among c…

POPOLAMENTI MARGINALI DI FAGGIO E CAMBIAMENTI CLIMATICI IN SICILIA: CRITICITÀ ED EFFETTI DELL’APPLICAZIONE DI PRATICHE SELVICOLTURALI TRADIZIONALI NO…

2016

Il faggio (Fagus sylvatica) è una tipica specie medio-Europea; in Sicilia si rinvengono i boschi di faggio più meridionali d’Europa. La marginalità ecologica di questi boschi è particolarmente evidente nei pattern frammentati e isolati di questi soprassuoli, in prossimità del limite della vegetazione arborea e/o localizzati nelle condizioni topografiche meno favorevoli. Nel presente lavoro si mettono a confronto i parametri dendrometricostrutturali e lo stato di salute delle piante in soprassuoli delle Madonie, confrontando cedui di faggio recentemente sottoposti a pratiche di taglio e aree di controllo non trattate da tempo. Inoltre, questi aspetti sono stati messi in relazione con il grad…
