Infilled frames: Influence of vertical load on the equivalent diagonal strut model

2008

The influence of masonry infills on framed structures behaviour is a central topic in the seismic design procedures and in the hazard evaluation of existing buildings. Many models use equivalent strut elements in order to represent the infill but among the several parameters influencing the interaction between frame and infill the level of vertical loads is hardly considered. Nevertheless, neglecting this effect may produce inaccuracy because the axial deformations of the loaded columns can produce non-negligible variation in the contact region between infill and surrounding frame, influencing the seismic response of the infilled frame. It can easily been observed that, when this regions ex…

La città di Alphabet. Architettura per prosumers.

2021

Attraverso alcuni aspetti salienti dell’ideazione, della produzione e dell’opposizione al progetto del Toronto Quayside di Sidewalk labs, l’articolo discute l’influenza delle infrastrutture digitali per l’informazione sul progetto della casa e del quartiere. L’ampliamento delle attività svolte da remoto nello spazio domestico, enfatizzato dal quotidiano della pandemia da Covid 19, costituisce per gli oligopolisti planetari degli urban data come Alphabet un utile volano pubblicitario e un acceleratore. La fusione dei nuovi vessilli della tecnoemancipazione e della sostenibilità in ipotesi sperimentali che mirano a costruirsi sia per intero che per parti realizza un nuovo orizzonte in cui lo …

Testing and linearity calibration of films of phenol compounds exposed to thermal neutron field for EPR dosimetry

2015

This paper reports the preliminary results obtained by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) measurements on films of IRGANOX® 1076 phenols with and without low content (5% by weight) of gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) exposed in the thermal column of the Triga Mark II reactor of LENA (Laboratorio Energia Nucleare Applicata) of Pavia (Italy). Thanks to their size, the phenolic films here presented are good devices for the dosimetry of beams with high dose gradient and which require accurate knowledge of the precise dose delivered. The dependence of EPR signal as function of neutron dose was investigated in the fluence range between 10(11) cm(-2) and 10(14) cm(-2). Linearity of EPR response was fou…

Multiscale Approach in Studying the Influence of Annealing Conditions on Conductivity of TiO2 Nanotubes

2015

Titanium oxide nanotubes (NTs) have attracted much attention during last decade due to their special characteristics such as one-dimensional highly ordered geometry with large surface area and good chemical and optical stability.

The Formation of the Italian Administrative Justice System, European Common Principles of Administrative Law and “Jurisdictionalization” of Administr…

2021

The present study deals with the formation of the Italian administrative justice system, the European common principles of administrative law and the ‘jurisdictionalisation’ of administrative justice in the 19th century, providing reasons that explain why the administrative justice system achieved a citizen protection superior to that of the civil law tradition.

Time and Gender Influence in Sexual Behavior of Romanian Adolescents

2015

Abstract Our study tries to establish if the young generation starts sexual activity earlier, under mass media and social pressure, and if the gender is a relevant influence factor in this context. A questionnaire-based survey was developed in order to evaluate the potential relationship between psychological traits and behavior implying risk for people health. The questionnaire was distributed and we received valid responses from a number of 1,364 people (536 male and 828 female). Using SPSS one way ANOVA we found a significant difference determinate by gender regarding the age of sexual activity start.

Looking back into trans persons’ experiences in heteronormative secondary physical education contexts

2017

ABSTRACTBackground: School is one of the primary settings where non-gender conformer children and adolescents emerge as vulnerable groups at high risk of suffering violence and harassment. Within schooling contexts, embodied experiences in physical education (PE) may become particularly problematic for trans students. However, there is little research focusing on trans persons’s experiences in PE. The purpose of this paper is to gather memories and impressions of a group of adult trans persons on their experiences in secondary PE.Theoretical framework: The concept of heteronormativity is used as a theoretical framework to provide insights and understanding to trans persons’s experiences in …

Majority and minority influence, task representation and inductive reasoning

1996

One hundred and fifty-five participants had to solve a set of 2–4–6 like reasoning problems (Wason, 1960), in which they were told which hypothesis a majority (or a minority) proposed, as well as which example was used for the test. In a 2 × 2 design, participants were also told that the problems allowed either one single correct answer or several possible answers. Results show that, when the source is a majority and the problem allows one single answer, most participants adopt the source's hypothesis and use confirmatory testing. On the contrary, it is when the source is a minority and the problem allows several answers that most participants give alternative hypotheses and use disconfirma…

Dialogue Involvement as a Social Influence Technique

2001

When a request is preceded by a casual dialogue, the approached person is more likely to comply than when the same request follows a monologue. This effect appeared to be strong and replicable in a series of field studies. Across experiments, the issues discussed in conversations between the confederates and the participants and the nature of the critical request varied, suggesting that the effect is generalized. In social situations, the two basic modes of communication (dialogue and monologue) are characteristic of different types of interactions. Dialogue is characteristic of encounters with one’s friends and acquaintances, whereas monologue is more prevalent in contacts with strangers.…
