Fonti, suggestioni e intersezioni classiche, tardoantiche e medievali nell’«Alda» di Guglielmo di Blois
2019
In questo saggio vengono studiate le fonti classiche, tardoantiche e medievali dell’«Alda», commedia elegiaca latina di Guglielmo di Blois (scritta verso il 1169-1170). In particolare, dopo una presentazione generale dell’opera e una rassegna critica degli studi e delle edizioni, ci si sofferma sulle suggestioni attinte a Terenzio, Virgilio, Orazio, Ovidio, Stazio, all’«Aegritudo Perdicae», Massimiano, Boezio, Ildeberto di Lavardin, ad alcune commedie elegiache del sec. XII (il «Geta» e l’«Aulularia» di Vitale di Blois, il «Pamphilus», la «Lidia» di Arnolfo d’Orléans) e alla tradizione novellistica “orientale” («Mischle Sendebar»). This essay is founded on the classical, late and medieval s…
Bifurcations of Links of Periodic Orbits in Non-Singular Systems with Two Rotational Symmetries on S3
1997
A topological characterization of all possible links composed of the periodic orbits of a Non Singular Morse-Smale flow on S3 has been made by M. Wada. The presence of symmetry forces the appearance of given types of links. In this paper we introduce a geometrical tool to represent these type of links when a symmetry around two axes is considered on NMS systems: mosaics. On the other hand, we use mosaics to study what kind of bifurcation can occur in this type of system maintaining the symmetry.
The Classical Theory of Real Functions
1998
The first class of real functions we deal with in this chapter is the class of functions of locally finite variation. These functions are closely related to the real measures on B. Exploiting this connection would allow us to obtain the properties of these functions from the general results in Chapter 4. But the path we follow here is a more direct one which applies the theory of vector lattices. The link with the measures on B will be established in the next section.
The Fubini and Tonelli Theorems for Product Local Systems
2010
The notion of product local system and of the Kurzweil-Henstock type integral related to a product local system is introduced. The main result is a version of the Fubini and Tonelli theorems for product local systems.
Statistical Mechanics of the sine-Gorden Field: Part II
1985
From the work of the Part I we are now in a position to address ourselves to the main problem posed in these lectures — the evaluation of Z, (1.11), for the s-G field after canonical transformation to the action-angle variables (4.27).
A damping preconditioner for time-harmonic wave equations in fluid and elastic material
2009
A physical damping is considered as a preconditioning technique for acoustic and elastic wave scattering. The earlier preconditioners for the Helmholtz equation are generalized for elastic materials and three-dimensional domains. An algebraic multigrid method is used in approximating the inverse of damped operators. Several numerical experiments demonstrate the behavior of the method in complicated two-dimensional and three-dimensional domains. peerReviewed
Mast cells in allergic asthma and beyond.
2010
Mast cells have been regarded for a long time as effector cells in IgE mediated type I reactions and in host defence against parasites. However, they are resident in all environmental exposed tissues and express a wide variety of receptors, suggesting that these cells can also function as sentinels in innate immune responses. Indeed, studies have demonstrated an important role of mast cells during the induction of life-saving antibacterial responses. Furthermore, recent findings have shown that mast cells promote and modulate the development of adaptive immune responses, making them an important hinge of innate and acquired immunity. In addition, mast cells and several mast cell-produced me…
Spectroscopic Detection and Structure of Hydroxidooxidosulfur (HOSO) Radical, An Important Intermediate in the Chemistry of Sulfur-Bearing Compounds
2013
The rotational spectrum of hydroxidooxidosulfur, HOSO, an intermediate of particular interest in the combustion of sulfur-rich fuels, has been determined to high accuracy from gas-phase measurements. Detection of specific isotopic species using isotopically enriched gases suggests that HOSO is formed in our discharge nozzle via the reaction H + SO2 (+M) → HOSO (+M). A precise experimental r0 geometry has also been derived from the isotopic analysis; HOSO has a cis configuration, but the subtle structural question of its planarity remains unresolved. From the derived spectroscopic constants, in situ and remote sensing for this fundamental radical can now be undertaken in a variety of environ…
Synthesis of complement by macrophages and modulation of their functions through complement activation.
1983
During the last decade considerable progress has been made to characterize intimate functional links between macrophages, a major cellular component of immunoinflammatory responses, and the complement system representing the major humoral mediator of inflammation. Macrophages of various species and tissue sites have been shown to synthesize and release most of the complement components providing these cells with their own \ldpericellular\rd complement system. Circumstantial evidence for the assembly of both classical and alternative pathway convertases has been adduced. An intricate network of feedback loops involving endogenous and extrinsic factors operates to adjust complement production…
Dynamics of thick discs around Schwarzschild-de Sitter black holes
2003
We consider the effects of a cosmological constant on the dynamics of constant angular momentum discs orbiting Schwarzschild-de Sitter black holes. The motivation behind this study is to investigate whether the presence of a radial force contrasting the black hole's gravitational attraction can influence the occurrence of the runaway instability, a robust feature of the dynamics of constant angular momentum tori in Schwarzschild and Kerr spacetimes. In addition to the inner cusp near the black hole horizon through which matter can accrete onto the black hole, in fact, a positive cosmological constant introduces also an outer cusp through which matter can leave the torus without accreting on…
