Mappings of Lp-integrable distortion: regularity of the inverse
2016
Let be an open set in ℝn and suppose that is a Sobolev homeomorphism. We study the regularity of f–1 under the Lp-integrability assumption on the distortion function Kf. First, if is the unit ball and p > n – 1, then the optimal local modulus of continuity of f–1 is attained by a radially symmetric mapping. We show that this is not the case when p ⩽ n – 1 and n ⩾ 3, and answer a question raised by S. Hencl and P. Koskela. Second, we obtain the optimal integrability results for ∣Df–1∣ in terms of the Lp-integrability assumptions of Kf.
Increasing the flexural capacity of RC beams using steel angles and pre-tensioned stainless steel ribbons
2016
This article presents an experimental programme on reinforced concrete beams retrofitted with steel angles and pre-stressed stainless steel ribbons to increase their flexural strength and ductility. Two different configurations of the steel ribbon were designed, and two companion specimens for each type considered were subjected to a four-point bending test to facilitate a direct comparison in the analysis of the effectiveness of the retrofitting technique. The influence of longitudinal steel angles and transverse stainless steel ribbons is analysed, and the concrete confinement due to stainless steel ribbons examined. The strengthened beams show remarkable increments in flexural strength a…
Validation of a Shear Model for RC and Hybrid Beams with Two Different Inclinations of Transversal Reinforcement
2016
The validation of an analytical model recently proposed for evaluation of the shear capacity in Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams containing multiple inclination of transverse stirrups is presented. The model is a suitable extension of that currently proposed in Eurocode 2 for the evaluation of the shear resistance, and it is derived by means of the the variable-inclination stressfield theory based on Nielsen’s plastic approach. Experimental and numerical data available in the literature on Hybrid Steel-Trussed Concrete Beams (HSTCBs) are used for model validation and result discussion. Finally, also the comparison with a different analytical approach for the assessment of the shear resistance…
The use of pumice lightweight concrete for masonry applications
2011
In the last two decades, the use of pumice as lightweight aggregate for concrete in structural applications has been the object of different studies. The aim was to find out if pumice can be an alternative to ordinary lightweight aggregate. The present paper is framed in this context. Here, a study is presented showing the use of pumice for making lightweight concrete units for masonry members. Through the paper, the formulation of a mix design for lightweight concrete is proposed. Then the obtained mechanical characteristics of the masonry units are discussed and compared to the code requirements. Reinforced bearing masonry walls, made with the concrete masonry units in question, were made…
Test−Retest Reliability of Isokinetic Ankle, Knee and Hip Strength in Physically Active Adults Using Biodex System 4 Pro
2023
Background: The isokinetic dynamometry is considered a gold standard in muscle strength testing. The reliability of lower limb isokinetic strength measurements has not been thoroughly evaluated. Objective: To examine the test−retest reliability of isokinetic ankle plantar and dorsiflexion, ankle inversion and eversion, knee extension and flexion and hip abduction and adduction strength in physically active adults using Biodex System 4 Pro. Methods: Peak torques (PTs) and average peak torques (APTs) of the dominant and nondominant lower limbs were tested twice in 19 physically active adults 7 to 14 days apart. Results: The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) values varied from excellen…
HAGHÌA TRIÀDA (CRETA): REINTEGRAZIONE DELLA LACUNA COME PRESENZA DELL’ASSENZA
2015
Il saggio intende presentare l’intervento, dei primi del sec. XX, nel palazzo-villa di Haghìa Triàda, nell’isola di Creta, per la conservazione del suo megaron. La sala possiede forma quasi quadrata, con sedili, ricoperti di lastre di gesso alabastrino, disposti nei tre lati; di fronte ad essa è una corte che la separa dall’esterno. La sala doveva avere una copertura sostenuta da pilastri di legno, che portavano le travi e i solai degli ambienti sovrastanti. Gli alloggiamenti, dove un tempo erano inseriti i pilastri di legno, risultavano perimetrati dalle lastre di gesso che ricoprivano le pareti della sala. In detti vani furono rinvenuti resti di legno carbonizzato, a testimonianza di un i…
BENEFICIOS RELACIONALES, SATISFACCIÓN Y LEALTAD EN EL COMERCIO MINORISTA: UNA COMPARATIVA INTERSECTORIAL
2009
RESUMENEn el contexto del marketing de relaciones, resulta de gran importancia para el establecimiento minorista identificar el tipo de beneficios de la relación que influye en mayor medida sobre sus resultados en términos de satisfacción del cliente y lealtad hacia el minorista, de manera que se garantice una relación continua y satisfactoria. Dichos beneficios pueden tener distinto peso en función del tipo de actividad llevada a cabo por el minorista. El presente trabajo pretende analizar empíricamente un modelo que refleje los distintos tipos de beneficios relacionales obtenidos por los clientes, así como los beneficios obtenidos por la organización en términos de lealtad del consumidor …
La rete ecologica come vision strategica nei processi di governo del territorio

La Rete interdottorato come occasione per costruire la comunità scientifica in urbanistica e pianificazione territoriale e ambientale
2011
Il contributo raccoglie, a qualche anno di distanza, le riflessioni emerse nell'ambito del V Convegno della Rete Interdottorato di Reggio Calabria da un lato a partire dai contributi raccolti negli atti e dall'attualità dei temi affrontati nel panorama della ricerca dottorale nazionale e internazionale, dall‟altro, valutando a posteriori il percorso di maturazione della Rete Interdottorato e delle motivazioni culturali che l‟hanno animata negli anni della propria attività.
