An approximation to the diachronic analysis of mitigation and face in dialogues between mother and child in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries
2018
Este artículo aborda la evolución del uso de la atenuación en los diálogos madre-hijo y sus efectos en la imagen sociocultural en los siglos XIX y XX. Para ello, utilizando como corpus cuatro obras de teatro de este periodo, se analiza cualitativa y cuantitativamente el empleo de la atenuación como estrategia pragmática en los actos directivos realizados en la proyección de estas relaciones. Los resultados de este estudio apuntan a que se ha producido una evolución desde la jerarquía hacia una progresiva solidaridad. This paper aims to analyse the evolution of the use of mitigation in dialogues between mother and child and their effects on sociocultural face in the nineteenth and twentieth …
Nuevas terminaciones para nuevas realidades: performatividad, afiliación y atenuación en la comunidad de habla LGTBI
2021
Este artículo presenta un estudio sobre las terminaciones -i/-is y -e/-es en la comunidad de habla LGTBI. La motivación de esta investigación viene de la representación del género no binario en la lengua española, marcado recientemente por las terminaciones en -e, que además es utilizado para crear un plural inclusivo que evite el masculino genérico. En la misma línea, se han detectado usos, dentro de la comunidad de habla LGTBI, de otro grupo de terminaciones (-i/-is) que parecen anular la distinción de género. Los datos han sido extraídos de una encuesta sociolingüística elaborada por el autor de este trabajo. En la parte sociolingüística se pretende perfilar el tipo de usuario de estas t…
Soil organic carbon stocks under recommended management practices in different soils of semiarid vineyards
2019
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) approach is widely used to estimate the C account through the use of standardized coefficients that are not site specific. For these reasons, the aim of the work was to define specific IPCC coefficient taking into account differences in pedological characteristics that affect soil C steady state. In a vineyard area of Sicily, the effectiveness of 5 years of recommended management practice (RMP) adoption on soil organic carbon (SOC) stock increases was evaluated by considering 100 paired sites distributed over four functional soil groups. Each site consisted of two neighbouring plots. The soil of one plot was managed with cover crops accor…
Mitigating DDoS using weight‐based geographical clustering
2020
Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks have for the last two decades been among the greatest threats facing the internet infrastructure. Mitigating DDoS attacks is a particularly challenging task as an attacker tries to conceal a huge amount of traffic inside a legitimate traffic flow. This article proposes to use data mining approaches to find unique hidden data structures which are able to characterize the normal traffic flow. This will serve as a mean for filtering illegitimate traffic under DDoS attacks. In this endeavor, we devise three algorithms built on previously uncharted areas within mitigation techniques where clustering techniques are used to create geographical clusters …
The effects of vegetation on indoor thermal comfort: the application of a multi-scale simulation methodology on a residential neighborhood renovation…
2017
Abstract Despite the acknowledged positive effects of vegetation at urban, neighborhood and building scales, there are still only limited comprehensive design tools for multi-scale evaluation of the microclimate and thermal benefits of plants and building-integrated vegetation (BIV) systems. The paper describes a case study in the city of Palermo (Italy) that applied simulation methodology to quantitatively assess the microclimate effects of different neighborhood and building retrofit scenarios where vegetation plays a main role. The simulation workflow moves from a micro-urban to a building scale assessment by linking the ENVI-met software to the building energy simulation program EnergyP…
A 9-level three-phase multilevel converter with harmonic mitigation and integrated battery balancing
2019
In this paper, a 9 level three-phase multilevel converter with a harmonic mitigation control method and an integrated battery balancing algorithm for automotive purpose is proposed. Each level of the converter is composed by a buck-boost converter and an h-bridge in cascaded connection. The control algorithm is implemented to achieve the harmonic mitigation on the output voltage waveform and to maintain the battery input voltages balanced. The design and operation of the system is described, and simulation study is reported using Matlab/Simulink platform.

Pētījuma mērķis: analizēt pedagoģiskā iespējas uzvedības traucējumu mazināšanā mācību procesā pirmsskolā. Pētījuma teorētiskajā daļā tika raksturota un apkopota dažāda pedagoģiskā un psiholoģiskā literatūra par bērnu uzvedības problēmām, tās izcelsmes teorijām, klasifikāciju un rašanās iemesliem, izpausmes formām saistībā ar ģimenes un pirmsskolas vidi, kurā tiek vai netiek apmierinātas bērnu vajadzības. Praktiski ir pētīti un raksturoti pirmsskolas vecuma bērni grupā, ka arī veikts pedagoģiskais izmēģinājuma darbs par bērnu uzvedības traucējumu mazināšanas ies…
Sinkholes risk analysis: case history of Marsala (Sicily, Italy)
2006
Given the increasing phenomenon of Sinkholes all over Italy, the Gruppo Nazionale per la Difesa dalle Catastrofi Idrogeologiche (G.N.D.C.I) and the Dipartimento della Protezione Civile (D.P.C.), during 2004, started a plan called Sinkholes dedicated to the phenomena in Italy. The plan provides the publication of the database realized by the D.P.C. by means of the census of beyond 1000 cases scattered across the nation. The city of Marsala is strongly characterized by the presence of a great number of Calcarenite cavities. The material object of extraction is the Calcarenite di Marsala of the Pleistocene, frequently used in the construction of buildings. The presence of the underground cavit…
Downscaling climate change impacts, socio-economic implications and alternative adaptation pathways for islands and outermost regions
2021
Questo libro fornisce una panoramica completa degli scenari futuri del cambiamento climatico e delle problematiche di gestione associate all'impatto del cambiamento climatico sull'economia blu delle isole e delle regioni ultraperiferiche europee. La pubblicazione raccoglie i principali risultati dei risultati della ricerca del progetto Soclimpact, con l'obiettivo di aumentare la consapevolezza sociale tra i responsabili politici e l'industria sulle conseguenze dei cambiamenti climatici a livello locale e fornire informazioni basate sulla conoscenza nella progettazione delle politiche di sostegno, dal livello locale a quello nazionale. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the futur…
Mapping Carbon Stocks In Central And South America With Smap Vegetation Optical Depth
2019
Mapping carbon stocks in the tropics is essential for climate change mitigation. Passive microwave remote sensing allows estimating carbon from deep canopy layers through the Vegetation Optical Depth (VOD) parameter. Although their spatial resolution is coarser than that of optical vegetation indices or airborne Lidar data, microwaves present a higher penetration capacity at low frequencies (L-band) and avoid cloud masking. This work compares the relationships of airborne carbon maps in Central and South America with both (i) SMAP L-band VOD at 9 km gridding and (ii) MODIS Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI). Models to estimate carbon stocks are built from these two satellite-derived variables.…
