Evolution of the Defense Integration in Europe
2020
The notion of a defense Union has been played with since the beginning of the European integration. Despite hardships in deepening the integration further from that of the economy, the European Union has taken some significant steps regarding foreign and security policy from the early 1990’s to this day. Especially the last months’ implications concerning Permanent Structured Cooperation have brought the Union ever so closer to an effective defense union with a common military. However, all of the decision making concerning European Union foreign and security policy is based on the principles of intergovernmental-ism and consequently, the effectiveness of a potential European Defense Union …
Environmental analysis of different construction techniques and maintenance activities for a typical local road
2017
Abstract In this paper, considering the sever impact of road infrastructures on both the surrounding environment as well as on the consumption of locally available natural resources, different road construction techniques have been studied and compared, in order to be able to rank the best solution in terms of environmental sustainability. For the aims of this study, a Life Cycle Analysis has been carried out on a road infrastructure with the most representative geometrical characteristics among those widely used in Italy, in suburban areas, with the help of an appropriate software, the PaLATE. The environmental effects due to both the use of recycled materials, such as the Reclaimed Asphal…
Design Procedures for Soil-Lime Stabilization for Road and Railway Embankments. Part 2-Experimental Validation
2012
AbstractAs detailed in Part 1, the most common Italian Technical Specifications refer to different design methodologies for design of lime-soil mixtures, some being quite different from those internationally adopted. Therefore, it seemed appropriate to the Authors to compare these methodologies, via a wide experimental program.It is shown that the Italian methodology of the National Road Agency is different not only from those used in Italy, but also from the main international standards. The experimental results highlight that a revision of that methodology is needed in order to bring it into line with what is prescribed by the European standard.
Senescence and longevity : from physiological mechanisms to evolutionary processes : studies in birds and mammals
2012
There is an incredible diversity of lifespan in the animal kingdom ranging from a few days for small gastrotrichs worms to several hundred of years for some bivalves or tortoises. This amazing diversity has long questioned biology researchers. The growing interest in the phenomenon of aging, mainly due to the increase in life expectancy in humans, has questioned researchers on processes that determine patterns of longevity and ageing. On the one hand, biomedical and biogerontological studies helped describe numerous cellular and physiological mechanisms related to aging. Among these mechanisms, oxidative stress has been identified as playing a major role, through life-time accumulation of d…

Foreign Direct Investment, Terms of Trade, and Quality Upgrading: What Is So Special about South Asia?
2016
The existing literature has highlighted the positive effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on export upgrading and associated terms of trade in developing economies. However, the FDI effect has been found to be negative in South Asia. In this paper, we elaborate on the South Asia-specific effect by emphasizing the role of human capital in the positive link between FDI and terms of trade. We argue that education levels in South Asia have lagged behind those in East Asia and other developing regions. This has resulted in a world market integration strategy in South Asia that specializes in less skills-intensive products and generates associated FDI flows. We demonstrate these patterns fo…
LA VIABILITÀ MINORE NELLA SICILIA CENTRO-MERIDIONALE: IL COMPRENSORIO DI CIGNANA TRA LA VIA SELINUNTINA E LA CATINA-AGRIGENTUM
2021
Obiettivo del contributo è esaminare il sistema stradale di età antica, con un’attenzione particolare rivolta alle vie secondarie, in un ben definito comprensorio della Sicilia meridionale, l’area del Progetto Cignana, pochi km ad est di Agrigento. Si tratta di cogliere non tanto i caratteri della viabilità di lunga percorrenza (la via Selinuntina e la via Catina-Agrigentum) quanto piuttosto le interconnessioni tra i principali assi viari, la rete secondaria (spesso attestata lungo i principali corsi d’acqua), gli insediamenti rurali e gli approdi sulla costa. This paper is aimed to analyze the ancient road system in a selected area of the Southern Sicily, between Agrigento and Licata (Cign…
