Quasi-Lie Brackets and the Breaking of Time-Translation Symmetry for Quantum Systems Embedded in Classical Baths
2018
Many open quantum systems encountered in both natural and synthetic situations are embedded in classical-like baths. Often, the bath degrees of freedom may be represented in terms of canonically conjugate coordinates, but in some cases they may require a non-canonical or non-Hamiltonian representation. Herein, we review an approach to the dynamics and statistical mechanics of quantum subsystems embedded in either non-canonical or non-Hamiltonian classical-like baths which is based on operator-valued quasi-probability functions. These functions typically evolve through the action of quasi-Lie brackets and their associated Quantum-Classical Liouville Equations, or through quasi-Lie brackets a…
Visual Servoing Based on Shifted Moments
2015
Over the past decade, image moments have been exploited in several visual servoing schemes for their ability to represent object regions, objects defined by contours or a set of discrete points. Moments have also been useful to achieve control decoupling properties and to choose a minimal number of features to control the whole degrees of freedom (DOFs) of a camera. However, the choice of moment-based features to control the rotational motions around the $x$ -axis and $y$ -axis simultaneously with the translational motions along the same axis remains a key issue. In this paper, we introduce new visual features computed from low-order “shifted moments invariant.” Importantly, they allow us 1…
Immigrati e diritti sociali: parità di trattamento e tutela multilivello
2017
Il saggio analizza la tutela antidiscriminatoria di cui godono i lavoratori immigrati all'insegna di una prospettiva multilivello: più in particolare viene descritto il complesso di strumenti normativi del diritto nazionale ed europeo a tutela delle situazioni giuridiche soggettive degli immigrati (ad es., in materia di sicurezza sociale), per come interpretato dalla Corte Costituzionale, dalla Corte di Giustizia e dalla Corte EDU. Da ultimo, vengono analizzati i recenti orientamenti giurisprudenziali, che oscillano tra l'affievolimento del principio paritario in ragione di sempre più stringenti vincoli di bilancio, e la tendenziale parificazione tra cives e non cives alla luce del principi…
L’INSINDACABILITÀ FRA EQUILIBRIO DEI POTERI ED UGUAGLIANZA DEI DIRITTI
2010
RESUMEN El Estado italiano ha sido condenado por el Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos por la violación del artículo 6.1 del Convenio, en todos aquellos casos relativos a la prerogativa de la inviolabilidad (insindacabilità) parlamentaria prevista en el artículo 68.1 de la Constitución. Atendiendo al dato apuntado, puede afirmarse que la necesaria garantía del principio de separación de poderes, en tanto que elemento esencial de la “arquitectura constitucional” viene a colisionar con la protección de los derechos fundamentales, al desconocer las exigencias derivadas del principio de proporcionalidad. El caso de la inviolabilidad italiana parece desviarse, por lo que a su aplicación se ref…
Degrees of freedom effect on fragmentation in tandem mass spectrometry of singly charged supramolecular aggregates of sodium sulfonates
2012
The characteristic collision energy (CCE) to obtain 50% fragmentation of positively and negatively single charged noncovalent clusters has been measured. CCE was found to increase linearly with the degrees of freedom (DoF) of the precursor ion, analogously to that observed for synthetic polymers. This suggests that fragmentation behavior (e.g. energy randomization) in covalent molecules and clusters are similar. Analysis of the slope of CCE with molecular size (DoF) indicates that activation energy of fragmentation of these clusters (loss of a monomer unit) is similar to that of the lowest energy fragmentation of protonated leucine-enkephalin. Positively and negatively charged aggregates be…
O DIREITO À LIBERDADE PESSOAL E A DETENÇÃO ADMINISTRATIVA DOS IMIGRANTES IRREGULARES E CLANDESTINOS NA ITÁLIA
2015
Na Itália, como em outros Estados da União Europeia, vem ocorrendo recentemente o fenômeno da “detenção administrativa” dos cidadãos estrangeiros irregulares, bem como dos requerentes de asilo, a maioria proveniente da África, do Oriente Médio e da Península Balcânica. Esses imigrantes, pelo simples fato de terem ingressado irregularmente no território europeu, apesar da imigração ilegal não constituir delito, são privados da liberdade pessoal ou de circulação e permanência, sendo detidos pelas autoridades de segurança pública, às vezes sem a validação da autoridade jurisdicional, durante um período de tempo também muito prolongado, em determinados locais, formais o…
"Utopia socialista" o "società post-secolare"? Percorsi francofortesi
2017
In this paper I will compare A. Honneth’s neo-socialist project with J. Habermas’ proposal of a post-secular society. Since both of these approaches are aimed to contrast with neoliberal theories, I will give explanation of my preference for Habermas’. I will do that by considering the relationship between the concepts of utopia, liberty and society.
A Framework to Explain the Relation Between ICT and Development: Combining Affordances and the Capability Approach
2019
Part 1: Pushing the Boundaries - New Research Methods, Theory and Philosophy in ICT4D; International audience; In this paper, we suggest a framework to better explain the relation between ICT and development. The framework combines two theories: The Capability Approach and Affordances. The capability approach defines development as freedom of choice; and the affordances explains the relational aspects of people and technology. These two theories complement each other by connecting the means (technology) to the ends (development). A case study of ICT and study-circle education in rural areas of Kenya is used to illustrate the framework. Using the framework, the study revealed how actualizati…
Libre circulation des travailleurs dans l'Union Européenne et tutelle des droits individuels de retraite complémentaire: un chantier inachevé
2013
Freedom of movement of workers within the EU implies adequate regulation of risks incurred by workers on the occasion of the exercise of this freedom. Among these risks, there is the possibility for community workers to lose or at least find themselves unable to give their supplementary retirement pension individual rights an unitary and continuous character when they decide to settle in another member State. What are the legislative solutions already proposed by the Community legislature and even those expected by community workers to be protected from these dangers? Provide a draft answer to this question is the main concern of this work.
