Tsunami and risk prevention. An Italian case study
2021
The brief paper intends to describe the main contents of the National Emergency Plan for volcanic events of national importance on the island of Stromboli (ME) prepared in 2015 by the Department for the Civil Protection (DPC). The volcanic island of Stromboli is in fact largely exposed to the risk associated with the activities of the volcano of the same name, especially that of the tsunami. The effusive activity of the Stromboli in fact causes a marked instability of the slope known as Sciara del Fuoco which can induce, as happened at the end of 2002, a tsunami. The contribution, starting from a descriptive interest, therefore aims to present, problematizing them, the intervention policies…
Active tectonics, sedimentation history and geomorphological features in the northern Sicily continental margin: implications for the marine geohazar…
2020
Starting from the assumption that seismic events in the active margins are accompanied by evidence of a depositional, geomorphologic and structural type, which constitutes the geological record of their activity, we analysed different features of the Northern Sicily continental margin (NSCM) to reconstruct the deformational field and related stress field in the Southern Tyrrhenian sea. As an outcome of this project we were going to obtain seismotectonic setting and mapping to provide a powerful tool in managing and assessing the marine geological hazards. The study area extends from the San Vito Peninsula to the Termini Gulf along the NSCM, including the Ustica island, and is located in a t…
Design and experimental test of a low costweather buoy
2013
The importance of prevention plans based on realistic inundation scenarios was dramatically highlighted by the Indian Ocean Tsunami of 26 December 2004. But also in the Mediterranean, sea storms basin are a quite common event especially during winter months. These scenarios are generally based on numerical models of tsunami wave propagation that can become more realistic and effective when calibrated with the distribution of true data acquired by special weather buoy. In this paper we present the result of an experimental weather buoy built by DEIM of University of Palermo, that is characterized by small cost and big versatility.
Simulation of the Propagation of Tsunamis in Coastal Regions by a Two-Dimensional Non-Hydrostatic Shallow Water Solver
2017
Due to the enormous damages and losses of human lives in the inundated regions, the simulation of the propagation of tsunamis in coastal areas has received an increasing interest of the researchers. We present a 2D depth-integrated, non- hydrostatic shallow waters solver to simulate the propagation of tsunamis, solitary waves and surges in coastal regions. We write the governing continuity and momentum equations in conservative form and discretize the domain with unstructured triangular Generalized Delaunay meshes. We apply a fractional- time-step procedure, where two problems (steps) are consecutively solved. In the first and in the second step, we hypothesize a hydrostatic and a non-hydro…
El mito de Fedra en Séneca, Racine y Unamuno
2018
En este estudio se analiza el mito de Fedra e Hipólito por medio de tres versiones trágicas realizadas en tres contextos dramatúrgicos diferentes: el estoicismo de Séneca, el clasicismo francés de Racine y el modernismo de Unamuno.
El influjo senecano en la Fedra de Unamuno
2015
La tragedia Fedra de Miguel de Unamuno presenta una fuerte influencia de la versión homónima del estoico Séneca, a quien Unamuno no menciona entre sus fuentes. Sí alude, en cambio, a Eurípides y Racine. Reivindicamos, pues, en este artículo, la importancia de Séneca como principal influencia de Unamuno. Determinados pasajes de Fedra merecen ser comparados con la versión senecana, presentando ambas tragedias construcciones similares en contextos concretos que corroboran dicha influencia. Estos pasajes atienden a la oposición ratio/furor plasmada en Séneca y Unamuno, los consejos estoicos de la nodriza y la fusión de las máximas horacianas del carpe diem y tempus fugit, que consideramos de in…
Analysis of the 2011 Japan's triple disaster from a conceptual ontology of the domain of risk and disaster,
2012
International audience; In this paper, we propose to use the factual part of a conceptual ontology realized in 2009 (Provitolo and al. 2009 a) to analyze the disaster that occurred in Japan on 11 March 2011 and which was characterized by a sequence of earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident. Many papers, reports, videos and press articles were published, each one providing a wide variety of information. Some fo- cused on the massive earthquake that triggered the devastating tsunami waves along the eastern coast of the Tohoku region while others mainly analyzed the nuclear crisis. The aim of this work is to syn- thesize in visual form information from various sources and to produce differen…
Masonry structures subjected to tsunami loads: Modeling issues and application to a case study
2020
Abstract Tsunamis are among the most dangerous natural disasters for coastal areas experiencing tsunami hazard. One of the major concerns in the assessment of strategies for the risk mitigation is to estimate vulnerability of structures and infrastructures. However, reliable approaches for the evaluation of the structural capacity under tsunami loads are nowadays not always available for all the types of structures, especially masonry. On this aim, the paper deals with the modeling issues of 3D masonry structures subjected to tsunami loads and the effect on the structural behavior of different modeling approaches. First, a brief state of the art on the available studies is presented regardi…
Traģiskās sajūtas koncepts Migela de Unamuno darbā "Par dzīves traģisko sajūtu"
2019
Bakalaura darbā “Dzīves traģiskās sajūtas koncepts Migela de Unamuno darbā “Par dzīves traģisko sajūtu”” tiek aplūkots traģiskās sajūtas koncepts un to veidojošie nosacījumi. Šī jēdziena analīzes procesā ietverta Unamuno ideja par cilvēku un tā pazīmēm: cilvēka kā konkrētas būtnes eksistence, vēlme pēc nemirstības un konflikts starp racionalitāti un iracionalitāti. Bakalaura darbā tiek pētītas arī traģiskās sajūtas izpausmes modernisma laikmetā un Dieva ideja. Darba procesā ņemtas vērā ne tikai Unamuno idejas, bet arī tām piemītošas pazīmes: autora darba stils, valoda, kā arī to saistība ar viņa biogrāfiju.
El exilio y el descubrimiento de una vocación antropológica
2016
Se estudia la llegada de profesores exiliados y jóvenes refugiados que inician sus carreras universitarias. El contacto con México los orienta hacia la antropología. Al terminar no todos pueden colocarse en puestos de trabajo en México y tienen que emigrar a Estados Unidos. It's an study about spanish professors and young students exiled, who guide their acadmeic efforts towards antropology. Not all find a job in Mexico and someone must go to the USA.
