Forme di territori post-metropolitani siciliani: un contesto “al margine”

2013

Il paper tratta gli argomenti affrontati dall’unità di ricerca di Palermo all’interno del progetto PRIN 2010. La ricerca, centrata sui temi dell’abitare nei territori post-metropolitani, intende individuare modalità di risposta e strumenti utili in termini di inclusione, benessere, sicurezza e garanzia di diritti di cittadinanza attraverso l’aggiornamento di strumenti e politiche utili ad affrontare le nuove modalità e geografie dell’abitare. Si tratta di un obiettivo prioritario tanto della strategia Europa 2020 (European Commission, 2010) quanto del programma Horizon 2020; entrambi individuano nella costruzione di una 'società inclusiva, innovativa e sicura' una delle sfide che l’Europa d…

Look at them and they will notice you : Distractor-independent attentional capture by direct gaze in change blindness

2018

Humans have shown a detection advantage of direct vs. averted gaze stimuli in visual search tasks. However, instead of attentional capture by direct gaze, the detection advantage in visual search may depend on attention-grabbing potential of the distractor stimuli to which the target needs to be compared. We investigated attentional capture by direct gaze using the change blindness paradigm, in which successful detection does not require comparison between the target and the distractor items. Participants detected a masked gaze direction change in one of four simultaneously presented schematic faces. The distractor gaze directions were systematically varied across three experiments. Changes…

Procedural semantics, metarepresentation, and some particles in Behdini Kurdish

2012

Contemporary studies in the linguistic semantics of particles have been greatly influenced by two ideas: that these items trigger pragmatic processing procedures rather than provide purely conceptual content, and that the procedures that some of them trigger relate to the recovery of metarepresentations. Recent developments in the theory of procedural semantics have introduced some refinements, notably the claim that these procedures may not all relate primarily to comprehension per se but may also relate to the epistemic assessment of communicated claims. This paper discusses three particles in Behdini Kurdish in the light of these theoretical developments: the speech-act particle ka often…

The effect of through-thickness compressive stress on mode II interlaminar fracture toughness

2017

Abstract The effect of through-thickness compressive stress on mode II interlaminar fracture toughness is investigated experimentally and replicated numerically. The modified Transverse Crack Tensile specimen recently proposed by the authors is used, together with an experimental device designed to apply a constant transverse compressive stress on the surface of the specimen. Experiments are conducted using IM7/8552 specimens for different compressive stresses, ranging from 0 to 100 MPa, covering all the practical applications commonly encountered in the aeronautical industry (e.g., tightened filled holes or bolted joints). It is shown that mode II interlaminar fracture toughness increases …

ChiLab4It system in the QA4FAQ competition

2017

ChiLab4It is the Question Answering system (QA) for Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) developed by the Computer-Human Interaction Laboratory (ChiLab) at the University of Palermo for participating to the QA4FAQ task at EVALITA 2016 competition. The system is the versioning of the QuASIt framework developed by the same authors, which has been customized to address the particular task. This technical report describes the strategies that have been imported from QuASIt for implementing ChiLab4It, the actual system implementation, and the comparative evaluations with the results of the other participant tools, as provided by the organizers of the task. ChiLab4It was the only system whose score re…

The integration processes in the contemporary city

2016

Il fenomeno migratorio nonostante rappresenti un movimento costante degli ultimi decenni oggi, i continui esodi dai luoghi della guerra unitamente al crescente numero delle tragedie in mare e alla chiusura delle frontiere da parte di alcuni paesi, determina una forte complessità di tale fenomeno. Si tratta di crescenti forme di mobilità umane che, per guerra, povertà, fuggono dal proprio paese d’origine attraversando le nostre città, ritrovandosi ad abitare gli “spazi di attesa” lungo le frontiere a causa delle barriere costruite fra i diversi paesi per impedire il passaggio dell’altro; “[…] barriere di ordine culturale e politico che opponiamo all’accoglimento di profughi, di stranieri e p…

La Carta sociale europea come parametro interposto nella recente giurisprudenza costituzionale: novità e questioni aperte

2019

In two judgments delivered in 2018 (No. 120 and No. 194), the Constitutional Court for the first time referred to provisions of the European Social Charter as an interposed norm in the constitutional review of primary laws. The two judgments, however, leave two questions open. First, in judgment No. 120, the Court recognizes taht the European Social Charter may complement Article 117, paragraph 1, of the Constitution, as it constitutes a natural integration of the European Conventionof Human Rights on the social level, which in fact distinguishes it from "ordinary" international agreements. In its subsequent judgment No. 194, on the other hand, the Court speaks of treaties with constitution…

Ecological restoration in contaminated soils of Kokdzhon phosphate mining area (Zhambyl region, Kazakhstan)

2016

Abstract This study provides results of an ecological restoration activity performed in the Kokdzhon phosphate mining of the Zhambyl region (a semi-desert mining area of Kazakhstan). The test area was made by a quarry-hole, about 1.25 hectares wide, that was preliminarily filled with the earthy material of a dump and, subsequently, levelled. The total volume of human transported material (HTM) used was 700 tonnes. Soil samples were taken from 0 to 30 cm depth at 23 sampling sites and several soil quality parameters were determined. In the test area 750 tree species were planted in suitable dug holes: (150 seedlings of Russian Olive; 150 seedlings of Black Saxaul); 150 seedlings of Androsov …
