Impact of Initial Soil Temperature Derived from Remote Sensing and Numerical Weather Prediction Datasets on the Simulation of Extreme Heat Events
2016
Extreme heat weather events have received increasing attention and has become of special importance as they can remarkably affect sectors as diverse as public health, energy consumption, water resources, natural biodiversity and agricultural production. In this regard, summer temperatures have become a parameter of essential interest under a framework of a hypothetical increase in the number of intense-heat conditions. Thus, their forecast is a crucial aspect bearing in mind a mitigation of the effects and impacts that these intense-heat situations could produce. The current work tries to reach a better understanding of these sorts of situations that are really common over the Western Medit…

Introduzione a Il Mediterraneo, per una geografia critica della frontiera
2019
Il Mediterraneo è diventato sempre più un simbolo delle migrazioni; un confine allo stesso tempo fragile e invalicabile L’appiattimento del nesso tra confini e migrazioni, da una parte, ha impedito di mettere in primo piano la complessità dello spazio di frontiera mediterraneo; dall’altra, l’inasprimento del regime di controllo della mobilità nell’UE ha avuto forti ripercussioni sull’articolazione del discorso relativo alle frontiere e al loro attraversamento. La sessione è articolata in tre panel: Ripensare il Mediterraneo come borderscape; Il Mediterraneo come frontiera delocalizzata: esternalizzazione e internalizzazione della gestione delle migrazioni; E l’Europa disumanizzò se stessa. …
Il mare e la città. Cefalù e il Parco delle mura megalitiche di Pasquale Culotta, Giuseppe Leone e Tania Culotta.
2019
Il Mediterraneo è una delle fonti dell’architettura tout court ed è all’origine della storia dell’abitare del Vecchio Mondo. Al ruolo costante e di fondazione del Mare Nostrum si collega, diversi millenni dopo, quello avuto come impulso all’architettura contemporanea e, in particolare, al Movimento Moderno. Su tale imprescindibile rapporto si innesta una specifica questione relativa alle città costiere e al modo in cui queste abbiano concretamente declinato l’interazione con il mare. Se l’arco cronologico si restringe dal secondo dopoguerra ad oggi, molti di questi rapporti sono occasioni mancate, incontri distratti, dove le coste, al pari dei fondi agricoli, sono state considerate, in modo…

Contribution to the reconstruction of geological evolution of the metamorphic basement of the Cordillera Darwin, Tierra del Fuego, Chile.
2008
The crystalline pre-Andine basement outcrops only in the Cordillera Darwin (Tierra del Fuego) in the extreme southern part of Andean belt. It is located between the Antarctic, Nazca and Scotia Plate. Cordillera Darwin breaks the long ophiolitic belt constituted by the Sarmiento Complex and Rocas Verdes; many authors agree that the present setting is the result of the Andean orogenesis, that yielded to the closure of a Jurassic marginal basin (now represented by ophiolites) with its overlying sequence of rhyolitic volcanic and volcanoclastic rocks, now represented by the Tobifera Formation and metamorphism during Cretaceous (Cunningham, 1995 and references). The studied rocks, sampled by A.D…
Implementation of non-local boundary layer schemes in the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System and its impact on simulated mesoscale circulations
2016
This paper proposes the implementation of different non-local Planetary Boundary Layer schemes within the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) model. The two selected PBL parameterizations are the Medium-Range Forecast (MRF) PBL and its updated version, known as the Yonsei University (YSU) PBL. YSU is a first-order scheme that uses non-local eddy diffusivity coefficients to compute turbulent fluxes. It is based on the MRF, and improves it with an explicit treatment of the entrainment. With the aim of evaluating the RAMS results for these PBL parameterizations, a series of numerical simulations have been performed and contrasted with the results obtained using the Mellor and Yamada (M…

Actinomadura pelletieri mycetoma--an atypical case with spine and abdominal wall involvement.
2011
We describe a case of mycetoma caused by Actinomadura pelletieri with simultaneous involvement of the spine, abdominal wall and retroperitoneal space in a man who had suffered from ‘Madura foot’ 10 years earlier. The characteristics of this case were analysed and contextualized among those of other cases of mycetoma caused by other micro-organisms found through a review of the international literature. The rarity of the disease in industrialized countries and its possible atypical presentations may hinder a prompt diagnosis. Culture techniques that allow detection of slow-growing fungi and actinomycetes should be routinely used when dealing with tissue samples from patients from tropical an…
Disentangling Tax Evasion from Inefficiency in Firms Tax Declaration: An Integrated Approach
2019
In this article we present a new methodology to support fiscal monitoring by the Italian Revenue Agency (IRA) with the aim of improving current taxpayers fiscal compliance and fighting tax evasion within small and medium enterprises. In fact, given the methodology behind the Sector Studies (Studi di Settore - SdS) system, there is room for firms to implement tax evasion strategies by simply adjusting revenues (and costs) toward an estimated average threshold (known ex-ante), the so called "presumptive" revenues, and achieving the fiscal "congruity" status. By estimating a production function through stochastic frontier analysis we avoid estimating the average threshold know ex-ante and can …
