Study of growth opportunities for Sicilian sparkling wine market by a Simple Correspondence Analysis and a Focus Group
2010
Sicilian territory vocation to the production of wines is a prerequisite needed to ensure a large variety of high quality products, very appreciated by national and international markets. Indeed, Sicily produces sparkling wines since the past century and now there are 21 Sicilian wineries that produce high quality sparkling wines. Currently, Sicilian sparkling wines are sold in the local market, however, customer penetration is still low due to a lack of communication and advertising. This paper is divided in two parts and aims to investigate through an experimental survey, possible growth opportunities for Sicilian sparkling wines market. In the rst part we applied the Simple Correspondenc…
All N=(8,0) AdS3 solutions in 10 and 11 dimensions
2021
We classify AdS(3) solutions preserving N = (8, 0) supersymmetry in ten and eleven dimensions and find the local form of each of them. These include the AdS(3)xS(6) solution of [1] and the embeddings of AdS(3) into AdS(4)xS(7), AdS(5)xS(5), AdS(7)/Z(k)xS(4) and its IIA reduction within AdS(7). More interestingly we find solutions preserving the superconformal algebras f4, su(1,1|4), osp(4*|4) on certain squashings of the 7-sphere. These solutions asymptote to AdS(4)xS(7) and are promising candidates for holographic duals to defects in Chern-Simons matter theories.
Object Matching in Distributed Video Surveillance Systems by LDA-Based Appearance Descriptors
2009
Establishing correspondences among object instances is still challenging in multi-camera surveillance systems, especially when the cameras’ fields of view are non-overlapping. Spatiotemporal constraints can help in solving the correspondence problem but still leave a wide margin of uncertainty. One way to reduce this uncertainty is to use ap- pearance information about the moving objects in the site. In this paper we present the preliminary results of a new method that can capture salient appearance characteristics at each camera node in the network. A Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) model is created and maintained at each node in the camera network. Each object is encoded in terms of the…
Color and Timbre Gestures: An Approach with Bicategories and Bigroupoids
2022
White light can be decomposed into different colors, and a complex sound wave can be decomposed into its partials. While the physics behind transverse and longitudinal waves is quite different and several theories have been developed to investigate the complexity of colors and timbres, we can try to model their structural similarities through the language of categories. Then, we consider color mixing and color transition in painting, comparing them with timbre superposition and timbre morphing in orchestration and computer music in light of bicategories and bigroupoids. Colors and timbres can be a probe to investigate some relevant aspects of visual and auditory perception jointly with thei…
I nomi dietro i numeri: Michele Salvemini aka Caparezza
2019
The present work focusses on the onomastic interest shown by a singer belonging to the new generation of Italian rappers, Michele Salvemini, aka Caparezza. His expressive talent managed to shape an anti-purist language, full of styles and registers, open to dialect and spoken language, which ranges from the younger generations’ language to neologisms, from English to special languages, from jargon to Latin. The pattern of his CDs, a sort of “fononovels”, modernises the structure of the concept-album of the ‘70s on the basis of constant references to contemporary Italian events, news and characters, and of his figure as an artist. Caparezza’s choices shows a linguistic awareness which goes b…
Lysty Mykoly Kočiša do Oleksy Myšanyča
2017
In this article is presented a part of correspondence between Ukrainian Academic Oleksa Myšanyč and Mikola Kočiš, a linguist and writer from community of Rusyns of Bačka (Vojvo- dina, Serbia). Published documents allow to know more about the relationship between two prom- inent figures, about the events in the Rusyns community and about the scientific work of M.Kočyš.
Socio-Demographic Vulnerability: The Condition of Italian Young People
2009
For a kind of inertia effect, today the Italian welfare state protects the older too much and, on the contrary, it does not counter sufficiently the new risks associated with other phases of life. Not much seems to be implemented in favour of Italian young people who, as a matter of fact, seem to suffer a lot from the present changes: young people remain longer in the parental home and postpone setting up their own independent life to a most advanced age. In order to understand the situation of vulnerability increasingly widespread among young people, it seemed more and more necessary an in-depth analysis of the reasons and the subjective status of the discomfort that affects young people b…
Measuring Tourist Satisfaction Through a Dual Approach: The 4Q Methodology
2018
Tourist satisfaction is one of the key factors in determining the success of a tourist destination, since it affects behavioural intentions, such as the willingness to revisit and recommend the destination. Therefore, much research has addressed the measuring of tourist satisfaction, either eliciting positive or negative evaluations of a holiday or destination. The spread between expected positive and negative characteristics can trigger a tourist experience. And the gap between expectations and perceptions will produce a feeling of satisfaction or dissatisfaction (Expectancy-Disconfirmation Paradigm, EDP). Under these conditions, this paper adopts a dual approach, considering tourist satis…
Comparing biological classifications of freshwater phytoplankton: a case study from South China
2012
The use of ecological classification systems is becoming more and more widely used when studying phytoplankton. Grouping phytoplankton species into ecologically coherent groups allow to reduce redundancy and in this way, to handle a minor number of biological variables when investigating the ecological status of aquatic ecosystems. Three ecological classifications are mostly used when freshwater phytoplankton is studied: functional groups or coda, morpho-functional groups (MFGs) and morphology-based functional groups (MBFGs). In this study, these three ecological classifications were comparatively used along with two taxonomic classifications based on species and genera to analyse phytoplan…
Letters in Arabic sent from the Nasrid Court. A diplomatic analysis
2018
El trabajo aplica las técnicas de la ciencia Diplomática a la correspondencia enviada desde la corte nazarí de Granada a monarcas y señores de los reinos de Aragón y Castilla. Por razones de coherencia y espacio, se centra únicamente en las misivas redactadas en árabe. El objetivo es establecer sus caracteres extrínsecos (tamaño y color del papel, tipo de letra, características del sello, presencia o no deʽalāma) e intrínsecos (manera de dirigirse al destinatario, manera de presentarse, saludos, tipo de datación tópica y crónica), comprobar si con el paso del tiempo hubo evolución en las fórmulas y si se refleja en éstas la categoría social de remitente y destinatario. Las fuentes empleadas…
