A new hybrid procedure for the definition of seismic vulnerability in Mediterranean cross-border urban areas
2016
Assessment of seismic vulnerability of urban areas provides fundamental information for activities of planning and management of emergencies. The main difficulty encountered when extending vulnerability evaluations to urban contexts is the definition of a framework of assessment appropriate for the specific characteristics of the site and providing reliable results with a reasonable duration of surveys and post-processing of data. The paper proposes a new procedure merging different typologies of information recognized on the territories investigated and for this reason called “hybrid.” Knowledge of historical events influencing urban evolution and analysis of recurrent building technologie…
Binary logistic regression versus stochastic gradient boosted decision trees in assessing landslide susceptibility for multiple-occurring landslide e…
2015
This study aims to compare binary logistic regression (BLR) and stochastic gradient treeboost (SGT) methods in assessing landslide susceptibility within the Mediterranean region for multiple-occurrence regional landslide events. A test area was selected in the north-eastern sector of Sicily (southern Italy) where thousands of debris flows and debris avalanches triggered on the first October 2009 due to an extreme storm. Exploiting the same set of predictors and the 2009 event landslide archive, BLR- and SGT-based susceptibility models have been obtained for the two catchments separately, adopting a random partition (RP) technique for validation. In addition, the models trained in one catchm…
Integration of fuzzy logic and image analysis for the detection of gullies in the Calhoun Critical Zone Observatory using airborne LiDAR data
2017
Abstract The entire Piedmont of the Southeastern United States, where the Calhoun Critical Zone Observatory (CCZO) is located, experienced one of the most severe erosive events of the last two centuries. Forested areas were cleared to cultivate cotton, tobacco, and other crops during the nineteenth and early twentieth century and these land use changes, together with intense rainfalls, initiated deep gullying. An accurate mapping of these landforms is important since, despite some gully stabilization and reforestation efforts, gullies are still major contributors of sediment to streams. Mapping gullies in the CCZO area is hindered by the presence of dense canopy, which precludes the identif…
Enseñanza de las ciencias : revista de investigación y experiencias didácticas
2003
Se discuten algunas de las conclusiones de varios trabajos históricos recientes sobre Amedeo Avogadro y la teoría atómica del siglo XIX. A través de pequeños extractos de publicaciones famosas de Avogadro, se analizan las características principales de sus aportaciones a la teoría atómica del siglo XIX. También se analizan los principales métodos de cálculo de pesos atómicos de esos años y se discute el papel de las ideas de Avogadro en este tema. Estas conclusiones se contrastan con la imagen que actualmente los libros de texto dan acerca de este autor. Finalmente, esta última comparación conduce a una discusión sobre el papel de la historia de la ciencia en los libros de texto. This paper…
La alteración sobrevenida de las circunstancias contractuales y la doctrina rebus sic stantibus. Génesis y evolución de un principio jurídico
2016
The paper analyzes the philosophical-legal implications of the doctrine of the rebus sic stantibus clause. It corresponds to a non-formalist, dynamic and flexible view of law, and contracts in particular, as a historical phenomenon susceptible of evolution and adaptation to reality, to the circumstances of time and place. The paper deeps into the necessity of balance between security and justice, for which a rigorous technical-legal formulation of this legal figure is required.From this perspective we analyze the genesis and evolution of the doctrine and its process of progressive technical decantation.
The Quest for Raw Materials in the British Paper Trade : The Development of the Bamboo Pulp and Paper Industry in British India up to 1939
2018
The British paper trade history was defined since the mid-1850s by a quest for a new raw material to replace rags. The requirements of the paper trade were first met by a discovery that esparto grass from Spain, and later from North Africa, could be utilised in British mills. Beginning in the late 1870s, the success of using esparto encouraged mill developments in British India. The increased dependence on imported wood pulp, the likelihood of a pulp famine, and the consequent increase in price for imported wood pulp drew attention to the possibility of making commercial volumes of good quality pulp from indigenous Indian grasses. Bamboo began being treated after the First World War, when t…

Rappresentare il giudizio: il Processus Satane (XIV secolo) fra teologia e diritto
2019
ITALIANO: Il Processus Satane è inserito con il titolo di Tractatus questionis ventilate coram domino nostro Iesu Christo inter virginem Mariam ex una parte et diabolum ex altera parte nel corpus dei trattati di Bartolo da Sassoferrato. Si tratta di un processo assai singolare, svoltosi in Paradiso, fra il Diavolo e la Vergine Maria che disputano sul possesso del genere umano, davanti a Cristo giudice. Destinato alle scuole di diritto e a quelle di teologia, il testo costituisce una efficace “messa in scena” di questioni strettamente giuridiche e di problematiche filosofiche: dalla rappresentanza processuale delle donne alle tematiche legate al possesso e allo spolium, dalla teoria della Sa…
