Contact formation in random networks of elongated objects
2014
The effect of steric hindrance is an important aspect of granular packings as it gives rise to, e.g., limitations on the densities of ordered and disordered packings, both of which are essentially defined by the geometry of the constituents. Here we focus on random packing of rods via deposition and their distributions of contact number and segment length. Such statistical properties are relevant for mechanical properties of the structures, but the (quite large) steric effects on them have not been addressed in previous studies. We therefore develop a theory that describes the statistical properties of rod packings, while taking into account that the deposited rods cannot overlap and thus i…
Efectos de la crisis económica de 2008 sobre el empleo en las cooperativas andaluzas: un estudio del impacto provincial mediante el análisis shift-sh…
2018
Durante la reciente crisis económica, las cooperativas instaladas en la comunidad autónoma de Andalucía han demostrado ser una opción estratégica de desarrollo territorial con mayor estabilidad en el empleo frente a otras formas jurídicas empresariales. Este comportamiento es una consecuencia de su capacidad para
 actuar como elemento dinamizador y de adaptación a las singularidades de los territorios sobre los que actúa. Sin embargo, del análisis a nivel provincial efectuado en esta investigación se constata un comportamiento diferenciado, debido en gran medida a la existencia de diferencias socioeconómicas entre ellas.
 En este trabajo se propone la utilización de la metodología…
How do remuneration committees affect corporate social responsibility disclosure? empirical evidence from an international perspective
2022
The main goal of this study is to analyze whether the existence of remuneration committees tend to disclose more corporate social responsibility (CSR) information. In addition, we test the moderating role played by the proportion of independent directors on boards of directors with the relationship between the constitution of remuneration committees and CSR disclosure. Previous research does not appear to have addressed these questions. The research questions proposed are tested using an international sample of 28,610 listed companies, and we took into consideration information on industrial companies from the Middle East, developed Asian and Pacific countries, both emerging and developed E…
Introduction of book "COVID-19 and Communities: Bracing for Impact. Voices and Analyses of the University of Palermo during the COVID-19 Pandemic"
2022
The book COVID-19 and Communities: Bracing for Impact. Voices and Analyses of the University of Palermo during the COVID-19 Pandemic is a contributed volume that brings together academics of the University of Palermo in an interdisciplinary reflection on the SARS-COV-2 pandemic and its consequences. This publication finds its origins in a widely followed online webinar series that the University of Palermo set up at the end of May 2020 on the theme of the current pandemic.
Inversión educativa y contracción del Estado del Bienestar : un análisis del contexto autonómico tras la crisis sistémica de 2008
2018
En España, el estallido de la crisis sistémica de 2008 y su prolongada duración han supuesto desafíos adicionales para el mantenimiento del Estado del Bienestar y, particularmente, para la educación, el Servicio Público Fundamental que más afectado se ha visto por la aplicación de políticas de contracción presupuestaria durante este período. El presente trabajo explora cómo se ha comportado la inversión educativa en las distintas regiones españolas a lo largo de los últimos años, y trata de conocer más acerca del papel que han jugado las distintas administraciones en la asignación de recursos a esta partida. Para ello, esta investigación ha conformado dos bloques de CC.AA. de acuerdo con la…
Reescritura del discurso fúnebre de Pericles. Claves para salvar la democracia.
2020
He querido re-escribir en clave posmoderna el “Discurso Fúnebre Pericles”(430 A.C), escrito por Tucídides, por ser el testimonio más impresionante de la antigua democracia ateniense y sus inestimables valores cívicos. La solidaridad, la amistad cívica, el respeto por los mayores, el amor al ser y no el poseer, la búsqueda de la perfección mediante el arte, son claves para redescubrir el ideal de democracia Ateniense del siglo IV A.C. Estoy convencido, que desde su esencia, podremos repensar nuestra democracia actual, por ser un llamado a la solidaridad y la virtud personal y política. El desafío de nuestro tiempo es construir una sociedad eco-democrática - superando el antropocentrismo inhe…
Time-domain effective-one-body gravitational waveforms for coalescing compact binaries with nonprecessing spins, tides and self-spin effects
2018
We present TEOBResumS, a new effective-one-body (EOB) waveform model for nonprecessing (spin-aligned) and tidally interacting compact binaries.Spin-orbit and spin-spin effects are blended together by making use of the concept of centrifugal EOB radius. The point-mass sector through merger and ringdown is informed by numerical relativity (NR) simulations of binary black holes (BBH) computed with the SpEC and BAM codes. An improved, NR-based phenomenological description of the postmerger waveform is developed.The tidal sector of TEOBResumS describes the dynamics of neutron star binaries up to merger and incorporates a resummed attractive potential motivated by recent advances in the post-Newt…
Effect of Multi-Impact on Qiqh Carbon/Epoxy Composite LaminateEffect of Multi-Impact on Qiqh Carbon/Epoxy Composite Laminate
2018
This work is motivated by increasingly used of composite structures under severe loading conditions. During their use, these materials are often subjected to impact as for example, in the aeronautical field the fall of hailstone on structure composites. In fact, the low energy traditional impact tests don’t allow to see the evolution of the damage and don’t permit also to compare the best tolerance to impact between different stratifications. The multi-impact tests made it possible to find a solution to this problem. In this work, multi-impact tests are performed on three carbon/epoxy stratifications. The final goal is to predict the durability of the composite structures during impact load…

Mancession to Shecession: Higher Education, Employment, and Gender across Two Economic Recessions
2021
A distance; International audience; In this paper we compare the longitudinal labour market activity of Canadian women and men across the spans of the 2008 ‘great’ recession and the 2020 pandemic recession to determine differential impacts by gender and education on labour market engagement, income, and family household tasks in these two time periods.
