Comparing Physical Quality of Forest and Pasture Soils in a Sicilian Watershed
2011
Forest and pasture soils should have differing properties due, for example, to differing root characteristics or livestock trampling rates, but contradictory results are reported in the literature. The surface soil physical and hydraulic properties of five forest and pasture sites were determined in a Sicilian watershed. In general, forest soils had a significantly lower bulk density, b (by 17 to 35%), and a higher field saturated hydraulic conductivity, Kfs (by a factor of 3.4-11.5) than pasture soils. Differences between water retention characteristics of forest and pasture soils were low when high levels of organic matter, OM, content (> 7.1%) were detected for both land uses. The mean …

Temari Balls, Spheres, SphereHarmonic: From Japanese Folkcraft to Music
2022
Temari balls are traditional Japanese toys and artworks. The variety of their geometries and tessellations can be investigated formally and computationally with the means of combinatorics. As a further step, we also propose a musical application of the core idea of Temari balls. In fact, inspired by the classical idea of music of spheres and by the CubeHarmonic, a musical application of the Rubik’s cube, we present the concept of a new musical instrument, the SphereHarmonic. The mathematical (and musical) description of Temari balls lies in the wide background of interactions between art and combinatorics. Concerning the methods, we present the tools of permutations and tessellations we ado…

Il governo dei processi di sviluppo locale. Strutture di gestione, reti sociali e radici etiche. Dottrina ed esperienze a confronto
2007
Il testo raccoglie gli scritti di studiosi ed esperti dello sviluppo locale, ed ha per tema centrale il ruolo del partenariato e delle strutture di gestione nel processo di individuazione dei fabbisogni socio-economici di un territorio, e di progettazione e messa in opera di strumenti di programmazione negoziata. A distanza di poco più di due lustri dalla loro implementazione, dottrina ed esperienze aiutano a descrivere i requisiti essenziali, ma evidenziano anche le criticità, di sistemi di governo locale programmati "dal basso", secondo consensualità, per favorire processi di sviluppo autopoietici.
Combining pressure transducer and tipping bucket rain gauge to measure high variable runoff rate collected from a green roof
2018
Urban areas are constantly expanding in terms of space and density. It is known that the effect of urbanization is an increase of the area of impermeable surfaces. The infiltration decreases, the surface runoff increases (Baiamonte, Singh, 2017) and the existing stormwater infrastructure may become no more appropriate to face flooding (Berndtsson, 2010). Berndtsson (2010) described the numerous benefits that can be achieved by turning the roofs green through covering them with soil and vegetation. Green roofs i) reduce and attenuate stormwater runoff, which in turn lowers risks of urban floods and improves the urban water balance thus approaching the natural one (Mentens et al., 2006), ii) …
