Soil data from Italy (Sicily)
2013
Soil erosion and water deficit traditionally affect agriculture of Mediterranean areas. In Sicily, these issues are complicated by the very accentuated spatial and temporal variability of rainfall that concentrates in the northern coast and in the period from October to April. Modelling of the hydrological processes may help to prevent soil loss, predict the fate of agrochemicals in the soil profile, optimize dry agriculture and manage irrigation. However, agro-hydrological simulation models require the detailed knowledge of the soil hydraulic properties, i.e. the water retention curve and the hydraulic conductivity function. The Sicilian regional administration has recently published a new…
Tailoring of the solid state properties of Al-Nb mixed oxides: A photoelectrochemical study
2013
Al-Nb containing mixed oxides were grown by anodizing sputter-deposited Al-Nb alloys of different compositions. A photoelectrochemical investigation was carried out in order to estimate the band gap, flat band potential, and conductivity type of these oxides as a function of their composition. The dependence of the band gap on the composition of mixed sp-d metal oxides has been rationalized by using a semiempirical correlation between the difference of electronegativity and band gap of oxides proposed in the literature some years ago and recently tested for regular d-d metal mixed oxides. The band gap increase observed as a function of Al content into the oxides seems mainly depending on th…
Bi-2212 and Y123 highly curved single-crystal-like objects: whiskers, bows and ring-like structures
2012
High-temperature superconducting objects of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 and Y Ba2Cu3O7 highly curved in the ab-plane, such as curved/kinked whiskers, bows and ring-like structures, were obtained within a solid?liquid?solid (SLS) grass-like growth mechanism. As-grown objects are crystals with three-dimensional epitaxy similar to conventional single crystals: they can be viewed as crystal parts ?cut? from a conventional rectangular crystal. Between our curved objects and conventional crystals, whiskers or thin films there are some differences in the superconducting properties induced only by the shape factors and no new physics is observed. Some details of the growth mechanism are discussed, emphasizing cu…
Los bienes comunes en el pensamiento de Stefano Rodotà
2021
El trabajo se ha desarrollado en el marco del proyecto de investigación BICOM. Bienes comunes: articulación cívica y jurídica (CAMUAM, SI/PJI/2019- 00474), codirigido por Ricardo Cueva y Luis Lloredo. También se ha participado con el proyecto Vulnus (INV-IGU159- 2021).
Un’isoglossa indoeuropea per mantis? in G. Rocca (a cura di), Dialetti, dialettismi, generi letterari e funzioni sociali. Atti del V Convegno Interna…
2004
L'articolo presenta la ricostruzione fonologica in diacronia degli esiti della sonante nasale indoeuropea nel greco antico. In particolare, attraverso un'analisi tipologico-comparativa, che pure attinge ai dati provenienti dalla ricerca archeologica, storica ed epigrafica, viene dimostrato come la presunta irregolarità dell'esito "an" in luogo di "a" davanti a consonante in alcuni tra i più antichi termini del lessico greco (tra cui mantis) sia in realtà da attribuirsi ad un esito originario "an", che accomunerebbe il greco antico alla maggior parte delle altre lingue sorelle indoeuropee antiche, dall'ittita al frigio, dall'antico irlandese all'armeno, dal bretone al celtiberico, ecc. Già l…
Constructing social Europe through European cultural heritage
2021
The political and economic crises of the recent decades as well as the new changes brought on by globalization and digitalization have contributed to exacerbate social inequalities and injustice and revealed different social realities in Europe. The EU increasingly deals with social issues in its cultural and heritage policy. In this article, we explore the construction of this social dimension and advance the concept of 'social Europe' by exploring its cultural aspect based on our analysis of a recent EU heritage action, the European Heritage Label. In this action, the narrations of the European past and the attempts to foster common cultural heritage in Europe function as building blocks …
The Human Right to Social Security and Its Impact on Socio-Political Action in Germany and Finland
2017
Social human rights have rarely been given attention in social work research or comparative studies on welfare states. The paper aims at filling the gap by analysing the conception of human beings inherent in human rights and in unemployment policy documents in Germany and Finland. Its focus lies on the right to social security, a central norm of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. The main question is what impact does the right to social security have on socio-political action in Germany and Finland. The results of the analysis, which was based on the objective hermeneutics, revealed a structural similarity between the conceptions of human beings in both cou…
Il sovraffollamento delle carceri in Italia e l’ultimatum della Corte EDU: riflessioni sulla sentenza Torreggiani
2013
Il sovraffollamento carcerario è uno dei problemi più gravi che affliggono l’Italia contemporanea. La Corte EDU ha già sanzionato in passato il nostro Paese per aver violato l’art. 3 della Convenzione, in tema di divieto di pene o trattamenti inumani o degradanti: era il 2009 quando i giudici comunitari riconobbero a un cittadino bosniaco un risarcimento di mille euro per i danni morali subiti in conseguenza delle condizioni in cui aveva vissuto durante la sua detenzione nel carcere romano di Rebibbia. Da allora qualcosa è cambiato, tra l’altro sono state adottate leggi urgenti destinate a diminuire la popolazione carceraria, ma la situazione non è sufficientemente migliorata e l’8 gennaio …
Policentrismo giuridico e processi di integrazione: un'armonia con molte dissonanze
2008
Il saggio costituisce una critica – attraverso un’analisi cross-area del diritto latu sensu legislativo giurisprudenziale e amministrativo – alle suggestioni del campeggiante pluralismo giuridico e “istituzionale”, evidenziandone le macroscopiche disarmonie. Oggi si è in presenza di varietà ordina mentali, di riposizionamento degli ordinamenti – a tacere di una vera e propria sovrapposizione degli stessi – che riflettono sia le centrifughe tendenze autonomistiche, sia gli ineludibili percorsi dell’integrazione europea (e non). Tuttavia si chiede l’autore fino a che punto risulti sostanziale la conclamata dimensione policentrica quanto ad effettiva giuridicità, rispetto al c.d. pluralismo or…
Mapping soil water content under sparse vegetation and changeable sky conditions: comparison of two thermal inertia approaches
2013
A critical analysis of a thermal inertia approach to map surface soil water content on bare and sparsely vegetated soils by means of remotely sensed data is reported. The study area is an experimental field located in Barrax, Spain. In situ data were acquired within the Barrax 2011 research project. An advanced hyperspectral scanner airborne imager provides images in the visible/near-infrared and thermal infrared bands. Images were acquired both in day and night times by the Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial between 12th and 13th of June 2011. The scene covers a corn irrigation pivot surrounded by bare soil, where a set of in situ data have been collected both previously and simult…
