Pseudosteppes and related grassland vegetation in the Pamir-Alai and western Tian Shan Mts – the borderland of the Irano-Turanian and Euro-Siberian r…
2020
The aim of our study was to complete the syntaxonomical scheme for grassland vegetation of the lowland, montane and alpine zones in the Pamir-Alai and western Tian Shan Mts in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan with some remarks on its environmental predictors. A total of 198 relevés were sampled in 2013–2018 using the seven-degree cover-abundance scale of the Braun-Blanquet approach. They were classified with k-means algorithm with tranforming cover values to three level scale of the following intervals 0%, 5% and 25% and total inertia as a measure of cluster heterogeneity. Diagnostic species were identified using the phi coefficient as a fidelity measure. Non-metric Multidimensional Scaling (NMDS)…
The implementation of mindfulness in healthcare Systems: a theoretical analysis
2014
Abstract Objective Evidence regarding the efficacy of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) is increasing exponentially; however, there are still challenges to their integration in healthcare systems. Our goal is to provide a conceptual framework that addresses these challenges in order to bring about scholarly dialog and support health managers and practitioners with the implementation of MBIs in healthcare. Method This is an opinative narrative review based on theoretical and empirical data that address key issues in the implementation of mindfulness in healthcare systems, such as the training of professionals, funding and costs of interventions, cost effectiveness and innovative deliver…

Low effective population sizes and limited connectivity inxerothermic beetles: implications for the conservation ofan endangered habita
2014
Fragmentation and isolation may have detrimental effects on the viability of populations. Xerothermic grasslands, which are extra-zonal analogues of steppes, are among Europe's most endangered natural environments. Information about connectivity between the remaining habitat patches is critical for effective conservation planning. However, very little is known about the actual levels of isolation of individual xerothermic patches at the inter-regional and local scale. In this study, 16 microsatellite loci were used to investigate genetic diversity, structuring, effective sizes (Ne), and connectivity among populations of the weevil Centricnemus leucogrammus at various geographic scales. Anal…
Recognition of unsegmented targets invariant under transformations of intensity.
2002
Images taken in noncooperative environments do not always have targets under the same illumination conditions. There is a need for methods to detect targets independently of the illumination. We propose a technique that yields correlation peaks that are invariant under a linear intensity transformation of object intensity. The new locally adaptive contrast-invariant filter accomplishes this by combining three correlations in a nonlinear way. This method is not only intensity invariant but also has good discrimination and resistance to noise. We present simulation results for various intensity transformations with and without random and correlated noise. When the noise is high enough to thre…
Fuzzy Control Strategy for Cooperative Non-holonomic Motion of Cybercars with Passengers Vibration Analysis
2021
The cybercars are electric road wheeled non-holonomic vehicles with fully automated driving capabilities. They contribute to sustainable mobility and are employed as passenger vehicles. Non-holonomic mechanics describes the motion of the cybercar constrained by non-integrable constraints, i.e. constraints on the system velocities that do not arise from constraints on the configuration alone. First of all there are thus with dynamic nonholonomic constraints, i.e. constraints preserved by the basic Euler-Lagrange equations (Bloch, 2000; Melluso, 2007; Raimondi & Melluso, 2006-a). Of course, these constraints are not externally imposed on the system but rather are consequences of the equations…
Nomi di giovani e nomi di re. Il patrimonio onomastico nella tradizione favolistica di Giuseppe Pitrè
2017
La tradizione favolistica mondiale attinge i nomi dei propri protagonisti dalla creatività popolare, attribuendogli soprannomi che rappresentano linguisticamente il destino o l'origine o un tratto fisico, oppure rifacendosi al contesto regionale. Giovani popolani e re, nei centoquaranta testi di fiabe raccolti nella Biblioteca delle Tradizioni popolari di Giuseppe Pitrè, non sono connotati onomasticamente in maniera che ne denunci la provenienza sociale. Ipocoristici e soprannomi, persino ingiuriosi, possono essere il marchio distintivo del figlio minore di un fabbro come del reuccio di Spagna. In ogni caso la presenza del nome proprio, quale che esso sia, è segno inequivocabile di una cent…
"Macbeth", un "fiasco" francese (ossia il problema d'esser fedeli a Shakespeare)
2021
The article investigates the reasons for the French fiasco of Verdi's "Macbeth", identifying one of the reasons in the different perspectives from which Verdi and the French public looked to the Shakespearean hypotest of the opera.
Da "Anch'io dischiuso un giorno" all'"Abandonnée" (e ritorno): un percorso indiziario
2022
Prendendo le mosse da un aneddoto che circolò sulla stampa italiana nella prima metà del Novecento, l’articolo intende far luce sulla presunta composizione di una versione alternativa oggi perduta dell’adagio «Anch’io dischiuso un giorno» dell’aria di Abigaille nel secondo atto di Nabucco. Attraverso un percorso d’indagine di tipo indiziario condotto su documenti di varia natura, possiamo ipotizzare che il brano in questione fu effettivamente scritto da Verdi a uso di Giuseppina Strepponi, la quale lo avrebbe cantato a teatro in una manciata di occasioni fra il 1843 e il 1846, e che esso fu poi trasformato dal compositore nella romanza da camera in lingua francese L’abandonnée, pubblicata p…
Una matita morbida. Note sul capolavoro incompiuto di Giacomo Puccini
2019
Il testo ripercorre gli ultimi mesi di vita di Giacomo Puccini, con particolare riferimento alla genesi di Turandot (1920-24) e al problema degli interventi di completamento e di orchestrazione del finale del III atto realizzati da Franco Alfano.
