Best Proximity Point Results in Non-Archimedean Fuzzy Metric Spaces
2013
We consider the problem of finding a best proximity point which achieves the minimum distance between two nonempty sets in a non-Archimedean fuzzy metric space. First we prove the existence and uniqueness of the best proximity point by using di fferent contractive conditions, then we present some examples to support our best proximity point theorems.
Semi-compatible and reciprocally continuous maps in weak non-Archimedean Menger PM-spaces
2012
In this paper, we introduce semi-compatible maps and reciprocally continuous maps in weak non-Archimedean PM-spaces and establish a common fixed point theorem for such maps. Moreover, we show that, in the context of reciprocal continuity, the notions of compatibility and semi-compatibility of maps become equivalent. Our result generalizes several fixed point theorems in the sense that all maps involved in the theorem can be discontinuous even at the common fixed point.
Fixed point theory for cyclic weak ϕ-contraction in fuzzy metric spaces
2012
In this paper, we introduce cyclic weak $\phi-$contractions in fuzzy metric spaces and utilize the same to prove some results on existence and uniqueness of fixed point in fuzzy metric spaces. Some related results are also proved besides furnishing illustrative examples.
Doni funesti. Miti di scambi pericolosi nella letteratura latina
2018
«I doni sono come gli ami» avverte Marziale. «Catturano anche gli dèi» afferma Ovidio. «Sono l’inganno in cui di solito incappano i re» osserva Seneca. La forza calamitante del dono, la sua natura seducente e pericolosa, emerge con chiarezza dall’analisi del sapere mitico romano e delle sue riscritture letterarie. I Romani, del resto, conoscevano bene il potere attrattivo dei doni, la loro capacità di condizionare i comportamenti e le dinamiche di relazione. Erifile è soggiogata dalla collana di Armonia, Mida è accecato dalla sua fame d’oro, Creusa è ingannata dai doni nuziali; Didone brucia con sé quelli dell’amato, Semele e Fetonte ne saranno bruciati. Il dono promesso è un rischio, il do…
Seabirds mated for life migrate separately to the same places: behavioural coordination or shared proximate causes?
2015
Long-term pair bonds occur in diverse animal taxa, but they are most common in birds, and can last from a few years to a lifetime. In many of these species, after the reproductive season, birds migrate to distant nonbreeding grounds where they remain for several months, and until recently, little was known about whether partners maintain contact during migration. This gap in knowledge was primarily due to past methodological difficulties in tracking long-term, large-scale movements of individuals. However, the development of new animal-borne geolocation devices has enabled researchers to track movements of individuals for a year or more. We tracked the annual migrations of both members of b…
Il monologo di Medea (Eurip. Med. 1056-1080) e le altre Medee dell'antichità (con un'appendice su Carcino)

Individual variation of persistent organic pollutants in relation to stable isotope ratios, sex, reproductive phase and oxidative status in Scopoli's…
2017
Abstract: Little is known about the accumulation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and its consequences for seabirds in the Mediterranean basin. We characterised the plasma contaminant profile (polychlorinated biphenyls ΣPCBs; organochlorine pesticides ΣOCPs; polybrominated diphenyl ethers ΣPBDEs) of a population of the seabird Scopoli's shearwater (Calonectris diomedea) that breeds in the southern Mediterranean (Linosa Island) and investigated (i) whether sex, stable isotope ratios (related to diet), reproductive phase (early incubation vs. late breeding season) and body mass explained variation in contaminant burden and (ii) whether they predict health-related variables. The predomi…
Équidistribution non archimédienne et actions de groupes sur les arbres = Non-Archimedean equidistribution and group actions on trees
2016
We give equidistribution results of elements of function fields over finite fields, and of quadratic irrationals over these fields, in their completed local fields. We deduce these results from equidistribution theorems of common perpendiculars in quotients of trees by lattices in their automorphism groups, proved by using ergodic properties of the discrete geodesic flow. Nous donnons des résultats d'équidistribution d'éléments de corps de fonctions sur des corps finis, et d'irrationnels quadratiques sur ces corps, dans leurs corps locaux complétés. Nous déduisons ces résultats de théorèmes d'équidistribution de perpendiculaires communes dans des quotients d'arbres par des réseaux de leur g…
I doni di Medea. Tra reciprocità e vendetta
2019
Qual è la funzione dei doni nella storia di Medea, e che cosa ci comunicano? Attraverso di essi Medea sembra in grado di costruire relazioni e, all’opposto, di vendicarsi sui suoi nemici. È sulla base dei doni che interpreta offese e vendetta come inversioni dei meccanismi di reciprocità positiva in cui è calata. Partendo dunque dall’assunto che Medea sia, innanzitutto, una “donatrice al femminile”, il contributo esamina le più rilevanti rappresentazioni della sua storia mitica alla luce della categoria del dono. Pertanto, nella prima parte (“i doni per Giasone”) si presterà particolare attenzione alle “Medee” di Pindaro, Apollonio Rodio, Ovidio e Valerio Flacco, senza tralasciare le …
