"Climate Change and Moral Corruption"
2013
In “A Perfect Moral Storm”, S. Gardiner claims that "the peculiar features of the climate change problem pose substantial obstacles to our ability to make the hard choices necessary to address it. Climate change is a perfect moral storm. One consequence of this is that, even if difficult ethical questions could be answered, we might still find it difficult to act. For the storm makes us extremely vulnerable to moral corruption". Here I comment on the notion of moral corruption. In particular, I discuss the issues of who is susceptible to it and of what sort of problem moral corruption is.

A modified applicative criterion of the physical model concept for evaluating plot soil erosion predictions
2015
Abstract In this paper, the physical model concept by Nearing (1998. Catena 32: 15–22) was assessed. Soil loss data collected on plots of different widths (2–8 m), lengths (11–44 m) and steepnesses (14.9–26.0%), equipped in south and central Italy, were used. Differences in width between plots of given length and steepness determined a lower data correlation and more deviation of the fitted regression line from the identity one. A coefficient of determination between measured, M , and predicted, P , soil losses of 0.77 was representative of the best-case prediction scenario, according to Nearing (1998). The relative differences, Rdiff = ( P − M ) / ( P + M ), decreased in absolute value a…
Informed Play: Approaching a Concept and Biology of Tone Production on Early Modern Lute Instruments
2018
Informed Play presents a conceptual understanding of tone production based on extensive historical research on primary sources, modern literature and handbook reviews, physical and psychological perspectives as well as on technology. As the first volume in English to discuss and contextualise the topic of tone production on Early Modern lute instruments from a broad, interdisciplinary approach, it represents a unique and significant contribution to research on Early Music performance, particularly performance on lute instruments. At a lute-centred level, this book challenges many preconceptions about tone production by addressing the motivations behind certain choices made in and embraced b…
Light scattering - diagnostic methods for colloidal dispersions
1993
Abstract The increasing demand from the colloid research community for quick and noninvasive experimental techniques as well as the rapid progress of modern optics and electronics have led to a considerable expansion in the field of light scattering. This review introduces the basic concepts with some emphasis on novel approaches like the study of interacting particle systems, multiple scattering techniques, and non ergodic samples. Particular attention is then devoted to recent experimental progress towards more compact and rugged instruments.
Regular subclasses in the Sobolev space
2009
Abstract We study some slight modifications of the class α - A C n ( Ω , R m ) introduced in [D. Bongiorno, Absolutely continuous functions in R n , J. Math. Anal. and Appl. 303 (2005) 119–134]. In particular we prove that the classes α - A C λ n ( Ω , R m ) , 0 λ 1 , introduced in [C. Di Bari, C. Vetro, A remark on absolutely continuous functions in R n , Rend. Circ. Matem. Palermo 55 (2006) 296–304] are independent by λ and contain properly the class α - A C n ( Ω , R m ) . Moreover we prove that α - A C n ( Ω , R m ) = ( α - A C λ n ( Ω , R m ) ) ∩ ( α - A C n , λ ( Ω , R m ) ) , where α - A C n , λ ( Ω , R m ) is the symmetric class of α - A C λ n ( Ω , R m ) , 0 λ 1 .

Absolute continuity of mappings with finite geometric distortion
2015
Suppose that ⊂ R n is a domain with n ≥ 2. We show that a continuous, sense-preserving, open and discrete mapping of finite geometric outer distortion with KO(·,f) ∈ L 1/(n 1) loc () is absolutely continuous on almost every line parallel to the coordinate axes. Moreover, if U ⊂ is an open set with N(f,U) 0 depends only on n and on the maximum multiplicity N(f,U).
A Lebesgue-type decomposition for non-positive sesquilinear forms
2018
A Lebesgue-type decomposition of a (non necessarily non-negative) sesquilinear form with respect to a non-negative one is studied. This decomposition consists of a sum of three parts: two are dominated by an absolutely continuous form and a singular non-negative one, respectively, and the latter is majorized by the product of an absolutely continuous and a singular non-negative forms. The Lebesgue decomposition of a complex measure is given as application.
