A Rayleigh-Ritz approach for postbuckling analysis of variable angle tow composite stiffened panels
2018
Abstract A Rayleigh-Ritz solution approach for generally restrained multilayered variable angle tow stiffened plates in postbuckling regime is presented. The plate model is based on the first order shear deformation theory and accounts for geometrical nonlinearity through the von Karman’s assumptions. Stiffened plates are modelled as assembly of plate-like elements and penalty techniques are used to join the elements in the assembled structure and to apply the kinematical boundary conditions. General symmetric and unsymmetric stacking sequences are considered and Legendre orthogonal polynomials are employed to build the trial functions. A computer code was developed to implement the propose…
A tribute to Juan Rosai
2021
On July 7, 2020 the world of Surgical Pathology lost one of the brightest minds ever: Prof. Juan Rosai.It certainly happened to many of us while approaching a difficult case to exclaim: - This is a case for Juan Rosai! This simple expression synthesizes the legend that was created around him.Those who knew him personally were undoubtedly amazed by his diagnostic insight, exceptional memory and organizational skills.However, his vast culture and passions were not limited to medicine, but ranged to music, literature and the world of sports, especially football.We worked with him in his last years of activity and want to share with the communities of pathologists our warm feelings about this …
«IL GRANDE PAN (NON) È MORTO». LA LEGGENDA DELLA MORTE DI PAN DA PLUTARCO A D’ANNUNZIO
2016
In Plutarch’s De defectu oraculorum a mysterious voice announces to a ship’s helmsman that «the Great Pan is dead». This enigmatic legend gave rise to two different interpretations crossing the history of European literatures. The first, concerning ritualism and folklore, connects this episode to the death of vegetations’s God (Tammuz, Adonis) or of another demonic entity. According to the second, common in Christian authors, Pan is the same crucifix Jesus or, on the contrary, the paganism defeated by his death. Gabriele D’Annunzio overturns announcement’s meaning and proclaims that «the Great Pan is not dead».
Locally Supported Wavelets on Manifolds with Applications to the 2D Sphere
1999
Abstract In this paper we present a construction principle for locally supported wavelets on manifolds once a multiresolution analysis is given. The wavelets provide a stable (or unconditional) basis for a scale of Sobolev spaces H s , 0 ≤ s ≤ s . We examine a fast wavelet transform with almost optimal complexity. For the two-dimensional sphere we construct a multiresolution analysis generated by continuous splines that are bilinear with respect to some special spherical grid. In our approach the poles are not exceptional points concerning the approximation power or the stability of the wavelet basis. Finally we present some numerical applications to singularity detection and the analysis o…
Święty Jacek w religijności ludowej i w kulturze polskiej
2020
Święty Jacek Odrowąż, dominikanin urodzony w Kamieniu Śląskim nieopodal Opola, kanonizowany w 1594 r. przez papieża Klemensa VIII, należy do najwybitniejszych postaci XIII wieku. Jest uważany za twórcę polskiej prowincji dominikanów za inicjatora powstania wielu klasztorów w Polsce, Prusach, Czechach (Znojnie, Igławie, Ołomuńcu, Pradze) i Austrii (we Friesach na pograniczu Styrii i Karyntii). Nazywany Apostołem Północnej Europy, Apostołem Słowian, Światłem Północy, Lux ex Silesiae (Światłem ze Śląska), prowadził misje ewangelizacyjne wśród ludów zamieszkujących dzisiejsze państwa bałtyckie oraz stepy nadczarnomorskie, także w Rusi Kijowskiej. Przedmiotem niniejszego artykułu jest próba omów…
La Llegenda del cor menjat al Decameró de Boccaccio: Estratègies de traducció al català
2013
Resum: El grau d’intervencio del traductor determina l’acostament del text al lector. Amb la comparacio de les quatre traduccions catalanes de La llegenda del cor menjat , el conte nove de la quarta jornada del Decamero de Giovanni Boccaccio, es pot comprovar que cada traductor utilitza estrategies diferents per mirar de resoldre un mateix problema de traduccio. A mes del bagatge cultural i la subjectivitat de cada un d’ells, cal tenir en compte un seguit de factors (temporals, historics, referencials, lingu?istics, socials, etc.) que determinen el resultat final. Paraules clau: llegenda; cor; menjat; Decamero ; Boccaccio; estrategia de traduccio Abstract: The extent to which translators in…
El comte Arnau, la migració d’un mite
2016
Resum: En aquest article es presenta l’estudi de la figura del comte Arnau, heroi llegendari sorgit a les terres de la Catalunya Vella el drama del qual ha travessat els segles i ha estat difos per mitja d’una balada i uns textos llegendaris de caracter oral. El senyor poderos i malvat, sacrileg sense escrupols i amic del diable, apareix a la seva esposa despres de mort, sorgit de l’infern, com una anima en pena que recorre la terra muntat en un cavall de flames. La balada, en forma de dialeg entre la dama i l’espectre del comte, ens reconta la causa de la seva condemna: «per soldades mal pagades», perque no paga els jornals que havia promes als seus treballadors. Per mitja de la historia l…
Judes-Èdip en l’edat mitjana
2018
Resum: Una llegenda medieval fon dos personatges literaris: el Judes dels evangelis i l’Èdip clàssic de la tragèdia de Sòfocles, de manera que ens trobem un Judes que, a més dels pecats que ja li coneixíem (traïció, avarícia, mentida, satanisme, suïcidi etc.), comet dues transgressions “edípiques”: el parricidi –mata el seu pare- i l’incest –es casa amb sa mare-. En aquest article fem un seguiment de la tradició textual d’aquesta fussió, del s. XII al XVI, en especial a través de les “passions” teatrals occitanes i catalanes, la Legenda aurea de Varazze i algunes referències de sant Vicent Ferrer i Francesc Eiximenis.
 Paraules clau: Judes, Èdip, passions, incest, parricidi.

La Leyenda de los santos : orígenes medievales e itinerario renacentista
2016
This is an analysis of the trajectory of one of the two great families of our Medieval and Renaissance flos sanctorum. This family is formed of three works: the handwritten Compilación B (an abridged version of the Legenda aurea of Iacopo da Varazze), the Flos Sanctorum con sus ethimologías (an incunabulum of unknown date and printer) and the Leyenda de los santos, a work that thrived with several editions published since the end of the 15th century until 1579. This article explores the relationship between these three works and also analyses the specific affiliation of their principal manuscript copies and editions, concluding with how the texts have evolved from these first manuscript ver…
ENTREACTO / ENTR?ACTE Un film / A Film Chopin y los Sand, amor a cuatro bandas. Aproximación a la esfera privada de Fryderyk Chopin a partir de la pe…
2021
Two centuries later, the legend Chopin-Sand continues to supply the collective imaginary with vague readings, where historical truthfulness, let alone musical truth, is often contingent on the literary. The much discussed and bellicose romance between the Polish composer and the French novelist, George Sand, tends to some reductionism and evades an obvious reality: Fryderyk Chopin meets George Sand when she was already the mother of two children. This circumstance suggests reformulating certain romantic stereotypes. Jerzy Antczak?s biographical film Pragnienie Mi?o?ci (Chopin: Desire for Love, 2002) does not overlook this detail and makes it one of its narrative axes. The relationship betwe…
