IL BENE DELLA DIGNITÀ UMANA IN SOCCORSO DELLA LEGGE MERLIN? : SULLA SENTENZA 141/2019 DELLA CORTE COSTITUZIONALE IN MATERIA DI FAVOREGGIAMENTO E RECL…
2019
Con la sentenza 141/2019 la Corte costituzionale ha dichiarato non fondata la questione di legittimità costituzionale dei reati di “reclutamento” e di “favoreggiamento” della prostituzione, proposta dalla Corte d’Appello di Bari. A partire dalla vicenda oggetto di giudizio, e dopo una preliminare indagine sui modelli di regolamentazione normativa della prostituzione volontaria e sui dubbi di legittimità costituzionale espressi dalla ordinanza di remissione, ci si sofferma su taluni aspetti critici della decisione. Nella prospettiva dell’Autore, la scelta di prostituirsi ha una inscindibile doppia natura (sessuale ed economica) e dunque una plurima copertura costituzionale; discutibili sono …
Aproximación histórica al surgimiento del concepto de imputabilidad subjetiva en la doctrina penal alemana
2001
El presente trabajo constituye un acercamiento, desde una perspectiva histórica, al nacimiento del concepto de imputabilidad subjetiva en la doctrina penal alemana. Antes de acometer la tarea propuesta conviene realizar algunas precisiones, referentes, de una parte, a la terminología empleada y a la delimitación de la materia que va a ser objeto de estudio, y, de otra, encaminadas a establecer el ámbito temporal al que se extiende la investigación.
First assessment of the rose shrimp, Parapenaeus longirostris (Lucas, 1846) in the central Mediterranean
1995
Abstract Between June 1989 and May 1990 a 1 year programme based on commercial samples and statistics was carried out to assess Parapenaeus longirostris in the Sicilian Channel (Central Mediterranean), since most trawl-fishing occurs outside the area currently covered by trawl surveys of the National Research Council Institute based in Mazara del Vallo. Fishing takes place on three distinct grounds, where three different sub-stocks belonging to the same population could be identified based on length and maturity data. Length-based methods allowed calculation of all parameters needed to fit Beverton and Holt's (1957) and Thompson and Bell's (1934) models, while natural mortality could be est…
Growth parameters and population structure of Aristeus antennatus (Decapoda, Penaeidae) in the south Tyrrhenian Sea (southern coast of Italy).
2011
Abstract The blue and red shrimp Aristeus antennatus (Risso, 1816) is one of the most important fishery resources in the Mediterranean Sea. Monthly samplings of blue and red shrimp from June 2006 to May 2007 were landed by the trawl fleet in two northwest Sicilian fishing harbours (San Vito Lo Capo and Terrasini). The carapace length (CL) frequency distribution of females ranged between 15.00 and 59.00 mm, whereas male CLs ranged between 17.00 and 34.00 mm. The estimated parameters of the Von Bertalanffy growth function (VBGF) for San Vito lo Capo females and males were: CL∞ = 65 mm, K = 0.58 y–1 and CL∞ = 41 mm, K = 0.71 y–1, respectively; while for Terrasini females and males these were:…
Regularized LMS methods for baseline wandering removal in wearable ECG devices
2016
The acquisition of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals by means of light and reduced size devices can be usefully exploited in several health-care applications, e.g., in remote monitoring of patients. ECG signals, however, are affected by several artifacts due to noise and other disturbances. One of the major ECG degradation is represented by the baseline wandering (BW), a slowly varying change of the signal trend. Several BW removal algorithms have been proposed into the literature, even though their complexity often hinders their implementation into wearable devices characterized by limited computational and memory resources. In this study, we formalize the BW removal problem as a mean-square…
Cohesive Model for the Simulation of Crack Initiation and Propagation in Mixed-Mode I/II in Composite Materials
2019
A cohesive element able to connect and simulate crack growth between independently modeled finite element subdomains with non-matching meshes is proposed and validated. The approach is based on penalty constraints and has several advantages over conventional FE techniques in disconnecting two regions of a model during crack growth. The most important is the ability to release portion of the interface that are smaller than the local finite element length. Thus, the growth of delamination is not limited to advancing by releasing nodes of the FE model, which is a limitation common to the methods found in the literature. Furthermore, it is possible to vary the penalty parameter within the cohes…
Toward shrimp consumption without chemicals: Combined effects of freezing and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) on some quality characteristics of …
2015
The combined effects of freezing and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) (100% N2 and 50% N2 + 50% CO2) on some quality characteristics of Giant Red Shrimp (GRS) (Aristaeomorpha foliacea) was studied during 12-month storage. In particular, the quality characteristics determined proximal and gas compositions, melanosis scores, pH, total volatile basic-nitrogen (TVB-N), thiobarbituric acid (TBA) as well as free amino acid (FAA). In addition, the emergent data were compared to those subject to vacuum packaging as well as conventional preservative method of sulphite treatment (SUL). Most determined qualities exhibited quantitative differences with storage. By comparisons, while pH and TVB-N sta…
Model selection for factorial Gaussian graphical models with an application to dynamic regulatory networks.
2016
Abstract Factorial Gaussian graphical Models (fGGMs) have recently been proposed for inferring dynamic gene regulatory networks from genomic high-throughput data. In the search for true regulatory relationships amongst the vast space of possible networks, these models allow the imposition of certain restrictions on the dynamic nature of these relationships, such as Markov dependencies of low order – some entries of the precision matrix are a priori zeros – or equal dependency strengths across time lags – some entries of the precision matrix are assumed to be equal. The precision matrix is then estimated by l 1-penalized maximum likelihood, imposing a further constraint on the absolute value…
A graphical model selection tool for mixed models
2017
Model selection can be defined as the task of estimating the performance of different models in order to choose the most parsimonious one, among a potentially very large set of candidate statistical models. We propose a graphical representation to be considered as an extension to the class of mixed models of the deviance plot proposed in the literature within the framework of classical and generalized linear models. This graphical representation allows, once a reduced number of models have been selected, to identify important covariates focusing only on the fixed effects component, assuming the random part properly specified. Nevertheless, we suggest also a standalone figure representing th…
Penalized classification for optimal statistical selection of markers from high-throughput genotyping: application in sheep breeds
2018
The identification of individuals’ breed of origin has several practical applications in livestock and is useful in different biological contexts such as conservation genetics, breeding and authentication of animal products. In this paper, penalized multinomial regression was applied to identify the minimum number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from high-throughput genotyping data for individual assignment to dairy sheep breeds reared in Sicily. The combined use of penalized multinomial regression and stability selection reduced the number of SNPs required to 48. A final validation step on an independent population was carried out obtaining 100% correctly classified individuals. …
