Modalità e tipologie dell’epica normanna tra Francia, Inghilterra e Italia meridionale

2017

Attraverso la presentazione e l’analisi – ovviamente parziali e circoscritte ad alcuni passi-campione, opportunamente scelti – di quattro testi variamente afferenti alla produzione epica di età normanna, in volgare e in latino, in Francia (la chanson di «Gormont et Isembart»), Inghilterra (il «Carmen de Hastingae proelio» attribuito a Guy d’Amiens) e Italia meridionale (i «Gesta Roberti Wiscardi» di Guglielmo il Pugliese e il «Liber ad honorem Augusti» di Pietro da Eboli), tra la seconda metà dell’XI secolo e l’ultimo scorcio del XII, si tenta di enucleare alcune delle modalità e delle tipologie distintive di tale produzione epica. Gli elementi costitutivi di tale produzione, a grandi linee…

L'epica latina altomedievale e il «Waltharius»

2010

In questo volume viene presentato un panorama della poesia epica latina altomedievale, dal sec. VI al X (Corippo, Venanzio Fortunato, epica di età carolingia e ottoniana, «Within piscator»), con particolare attenzione al «Waltharius», del quale vengono illustrati e analizzati trama e struttura, fonti e modelli, problemi cronologici e attributivi, singoli episodi, rapporti col più tardo «Chronicon Novaliciense».

Medieval Treasure Lore

2012

Treasure took a number of forms in the Middle Ages.1 We will first deal with treasure troves in mythical and epic sources. Then we will look at the political and theological significance of medieval treasures.

‘George Mitchell’s Peace’: The Good Friday Agreement in Colum McCann’s Novel TransAtlantic

2018

The impact of the different parties and individuals involved in constructing the Good Friday Agreement has been much discussed. This chapter scrutinizes the role of the American negotiator George Mitchell, as it is presented in Colum McCann’s novel TransAtlantic (2013). It places McCann’s novelistic depiction of Mitchell’s role in the context of both Mitchell’s own autobiographical writings and other external political assessments. Mitchell’s domestic life—including his experience of fatherhood—is shown to play a crucial role in the fictional treatment of the negotiations. McCann’s own position as an Irish-American author with a globalistic bent is taken into account, as is the way in which…

Participación política y periodismo: análisis de la cobertura de Televisión Española de la segunda asamblea ciudadana de Podemos / Political particip…

2018

ResumenEl incremento de la participación en la vida de los partidos políticos se ha mostrado como un ideal en los últimos años de la democracia española. Podemos, una de las formaciones de la llamada nueva política ha utilizado el voto telemático para establecer interconexión con sus inscritos y decidir sus estructuras organizativas y sus documentos políticos. A pesar de la ampliación de posibilidades de participación en las decisiones internas, la definición de visibilidades mediáticas se circunscribe al tándem Iglesias-Errejón y el debate interior encuentra límites en su representación externa. Este estudio trata de analizar los discursos derivados de la cobertura de Televisión Española d…

Water-insoluble β-cyclodextrin–epichlorohydrin polymers for removal of pollutants from aqueous solutions by sorption processes using batch studies: A…

2017

This review is dedicated to Giangiacomo Torri (Istituto di Chimica e Biochimica G. Ronzoni, Milan, Italy) in celebration of his retirement.; International audience; Although water-insoluble cyclodextrin-epichlorohydrin polymers have been known for half a century, these materials are of continued interest to the scientific community, in particular for their interesting environmental applications as sorbents in liquid-solid sorption processes. However, in spite of the abundance of literature and conclusive results obtained at the laboratory scale, interpreting the mechanisms of pollutant elimination remains an interesting source of debate and sometimes of contradiction. This review summarizes…

Epicoccum un Polythrincium sēņu sporas Rīgas gaisā: 2013. un 2014. gada monitoringa rezultāti

2019

Bakalaura darba tēma ir: Epicoccum un Polythrincium sēņu sporas Rīgas gaisā: 2013. un 2014. gada monitoringa rezultāti. Par pētījuma pamatu tika izmantoti aerobioloģiskie un meteoroloģiskie dati 2013. un 2014. gadam. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir noskaidrot Epicoccum un Polythrincium sporu sezonalitāti un diennakts rādītājus Latvijā, un to ietekmējošos faktorus (diennakts gaisa vidējā temperatūra, gaisa relatīvais mitrums, diennakts nokrišņu summa, saules spīdēšanas ilgums utt.). Darba praktiskajā daļā, laboratorijā, tika veikta aerobioloģisko slaidu mikroskopiskā analīze, atpazīstot Epicoccum un Polythrincium sēņu sporas un nosakot to koncentrācijas gaisā. Pēc tam tika veikta sēņu sporu un met…

Split-Way CVTs: Parametric Analysis and Design

The thesis provides a parametric analytical method for the analysis and design of power-split continuously variable transmissions, which represent the state of the art for heavy-duty vehicles and hybrid electric cars. The functioning of any driveline is described by mean of a simple set of kinematic parameters, regardless of the constructive scheme. The calculation of the control torques remains straightforward even when both inertial effects and mechanical losses are taken into account. A simple design procedure is described and generalized in order to address any order of driveline, including multimode transmissions. The final layout is generated additively, without the need to analyze hu…

"Cette époque de doute": Walter Pater et la question de la croyance

2017

International audience; Cet ouvrage examine la question de la croyance dans les essais et les romans de Walter Pater (1839-1894) et en particulier dans Gaston de Latour afin de situer sa position dans lepaysage intellectuel et spirituel bouleversé de la fin du xixe siècle en Grande-Bretagne. À travers un dialogue avec la psychanalyse freudienne et lacanienne, cette étude, la première qui est consacrée à la croyance chez Pater, montre la logique et la subtilité rigoureuse d’un penseur dont la réflexion demeure actuelle. Pater est un témoin attentif de la réarticulation du croire et de la subjectivité qui l’exprime ; derrière ses audacieuses reconstitutions historiques, il est également l’ana…

Low-energy epicardial pacing in children: the benefit of autocapture.

1999

Abstract Background . Permanent cardiac pacing in children results commonly in augmented energy consumption because of the high pacing rates and the ample stimulation safety margin applied in children. Cardiovascular anatomy and limited venous access sometimes preclude the otherwise preferred endocardial approach. In this multicenter patient series, we studied the feasibility, safety, and energy saving obtained by a combination of steroid-eluting epicardial leads with autocapture devices capable of ongoing adjustment of the stimulation output to the prevailing threshold. Methods . Autocapture devices (Pacesetter Microny SR+ and Regency SR+; Pacesetter, Solna, Sweden) and steroid-eluting epi…
