L'Evangelium Nicodemi e le traduzioni romanze
2015
L’Evangelium Nicodemi è uno degli apocrifi più diffusi nel medioevo occidentale. Il racconto della Passione di Cristo, collegato allo spaccato del Descensus Christi ad inferos, ha avuto un grande successo, testimoniato non solo dall’ampia tradizione manoscritta del vangelo latino ma anche dalle numerose traduzioni volgari di cui fu oggetto, dai rimaneggiamenti e dalle riprese in altri testi. La diffusione dell’Evangelium Nicodemi ha determinato l’introduzione di particolari topoi nell’orizzonte mentale del medioevo europeo. A differenza degli studi riguardanti le aree extraromanze, solo da pochi anni la Romanistica ha mostrato un rinnovato interesse per le traduzioni dell’apocrifo nicodemia…

Lead concentrations in feathers and blood of common blackbirds (Turdus merula) and in earthworms inhabiting unpolluted and moderately polluted urban …
2006
9 pages; International audience; Despite the dramatic decrease of atmospheric lead (Pb) concentrations in urban areas of most industrialised countries, we hypothesised that urban common blackbirds (Turdus merula) may still be contaminated by Pb concentrations of toxicological concern due to transfer from soil through the food chain. We sampled blackbirds and earthworms, one of their main preys, in Besan?, a middle-size city of Eastern France (where atmospheric Pb concentrations decreased from 0.5 microg/m(3) in 1987 to nearly 0 in 2002) and in a rural reference site. Lead concentrations were determined in the tissues of the different functional groups of earthworms (anecic, epigeous and end…
Direct evaluation of the equivalent linear damping for TLCD systems in random vibration for pre-design purposes
2014
Abstract Passive control of structural vibrations has received in recent years a great attention from researchers concerned with vibration control. Several types of devices have been proposed in order to reduce the dynamic responses of different kinds of structural systems. Among them, the Tuned Liquid Column Damper (TLCD) proved to be very effective in reducing vibration of structures. Since the increasing use of TLCDs in practical realizations, this paper aims at developing an approximate formulation, by means of a statistical linearization technique, able to estimate the parameters of a structure equipped with a TLCD subjected to random loads for pre-design purposes. Moreover, it is show…
Hierarchical Parallelization of an H.264/AVC Video Encoder
2006
Last generation video encoding standards increase computing demands in order to reach the limits on compression efficiency. This is particularly the case of H.264/AVC specification that is gaining interest in industry. We are interested in applying parallel processing to H.264 encoders in order to fulfill the computation requirements imposed by stressing applications like video on demand, videoconference, live broadcast, etc. Given a delivered video quality and bit rate, the main complexity parameters are image resolution, frame rate and latency. These parameters can still be pushed forward in such a way that special purpose hardware solutions are not available. Parallel processing based on…

Il ruolo del settore vitivinicolo nei processi di sviluppo sostenibile: il caso di Pantelleria
2008
La Sicilia è senza dubbio una delle principali regioni vitivinicole italiane, sia per la qualità delle sue produzioni che per la quantità di vino prodotto che ancora oggi, nonostante le 7 IGT e le 22 DOC presenti nel territorio, viene però solo in minima parte confezionato e commercializzato sui mercati finali del dettaglio tradizionale. Tra le denominazioni di origine, una tra le più antiche che si sta negli ultimi anni affermando sempre più sul mercato nazionale e straniero è il passito di Pantelleria. Questo vino dolce da dessert, prodotto nell’omonima isola esclusivamente dalla cultivar zibibbo, nonostante sia tutelato dalla denominazione già dai primi anni ’70 non è mai riuscito ad eme…

Prenatal androgen exposure modulates cellular and humoral immune function of black-headed gull chicks
2005
Avian eggs contain considerable amounts of maternal yolk androgens, which have been shown to beneficially influence the physiology and behaviour of the chick. As androgens may suppress immune functions, they may also entail costs for the chick. This is particularly relevant for colonial species, such as the black-headed gull (Larus ridibundus), in which the aggregation of large numbers of birds during the breeding season enhances the risk of infectious diseases for the hatching chick.To test the effect of maternal yolk androgens on the chick's immune function, we experimentally manipulated, in a field study, yolk androgen levels within the physiological range by in ovo injection of either a…
Investigation of Multipaction Phenomena in Passive Waveguide Filters for Space Applications
2006
This paper presents an investigation on multipaction risk in microwave bandpass filters. The study reveals higher multipaction risk for narrower bandpass filters. To alleviate the problem with multi-paction generation, different novel filtering structures are proposed. Results demonstrate that using the new structures multipaction risk can be reduced as much as 30% with regard to the initial design.
