Hydromechanical behaviour of a volcanic ash
2013
This paper presents experimental analysis and numerical modelling aimed at improved understanding and prediction of the hydromechanical behaviour of volcanic ash at various states of saturation. Results from a comprehensive experimental programme are presented in order to characterise the response of the material in terms of matric suction and confining stress changes. The evolution of the yield stress at different suction levels has been quantified. The volumetric response with suction variations allowed the analysis of the collapse-upon-wetting behaviour. Water retention and permeability are also addressed. Tests results are used to calibrate a constitutive model based on the effective s…
REPRESENTATIONS OF BOUNDARIES IN THE CONTEXT OF PRIVATE AND PUBLIC RELATIONSHIPS: LATVIAN EXAMPLE
2012
In social practice boundaries often have been perceived and used as a tool of structuring of the space. Spatial structures appear as representations of different activities and patterns as public and private relationships. Formal regulations, public attitudes forming on the basis of values system, acceptance and rejection of norms create different forms of individual adaptation cases which are representing in planning practise and landscape as a contradictory public and private relationships. Baltic coastal areas, Riga agglomeration, settlements structure, local suburban land transformation processes are some of the areas have been explored. What are public and private in using of space, w…
LONG-TERM OCCUPATION OF A MEDIEVAL RURAL SETTLEMENT IN SICANI MOUNTAINS (C-W SICILY): NEW DATA FROM CONTRADA CASTRO (CORLEONE, PALERMO)

Settlement Dynamics on the Banks of the Upper Tigris, Iraq: The Mosul Dam Reservoir Survey (1980)
2020
The paper describes a dataset of archaeological sites and villages now partially covered by the water of the Mosul Dam Reservoir. For the first time the dataset offers digitized information on c.150 archaeological sites detected during a survey carried out by the Iraqi State Organization for Antiquities and Heritage in the 1980s. Knowledge of the map of these sites will have a substantial impact on interpretation of Tigridian settlement dynamics. Funding statement: This research has received no specific grant from any funding agency in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.
Conclusion. L’habitat de hauteur entre Protohistoire et haut Moyen Âge : pour une approche diachronique
2023
Au travers de ces quelques contributions, ce dossier entend proposer de nouvelles perspectives pour l’approche des occupations de hauteur, en prônant notamment une collaboration plus étroite entre spécialistes des âges des Métaux et de l’Antiquité tardive et du haut Moyen Âge. Cette coopération peut se traduire d’une part à l’échelle des sites, lorsque l’occasion se présente, d’autre part à l’échelle de territoires plus ou moins vastes afin de mettre en évidence l’existence de logiques spatia...
Introduction. L’habitat de hauteur entre Protohistoire et haut Moyen Âge : regards croisés
2023
L’étude des sites de hauteur est aujourd’hui une thématique largement mise à l’honneur par la recherche archéologique. En témoignent les publications collectives et manifestations scientifiques récentes sur le sujet, en particulier pour les âges des Métaux ainsi que pour l’Antiquité tardive et le haut Moyen Âge, périodes au cours desquelles cette forme d’occupation du sol tient une place particulière (pour les publications récentes sur le sujet, voir, entre autres, Delrieu, Furestier, 2018 ; ...
Il reclamo preventivo per accedere al processo tributario. Analisi comparata con alcuni modelli europei e sud-americani
2018
The Mandatory Administrative Complaint-Mediation Filter, introduced by the Italian legislator in art. 17 bis of Legislative Decree 546/92, finds precedents not only in Europe, between western civil law countries closer to the Italian legal tradition but also in other continents. Among the out-of-court settlements systems for managing disputes adopted in other European jurisdictions, it shall pay attention on those applied in France, Germany and Spain. In all three countries there is a compulsory administrative phase before taking a legal action, applicable to the generality of tax disputes, irrespective of the value of the dispute. Among the precedents in other continents, attention will be…
Modeling urban growth by cellular automata
1996
International audience; The structural development of human settlements can be characterized as a complex highly feedbacketed process. The assumption that this process is governed by rather few fundamental laws stimulated a considerable research in the field of urban growth during the last decade. Aiming at the comprehension of the basic underlying dynamics different approaches from the field of self-organizing systems have been proposed. In this paper we present a "cellular model" of urban growth dynamics based on the work of White, Engelen and Uljee. As a starting point this model throws some light on the mechanism of urban growth. But even more important, it raises a lot of questions con…
Decadal evolution of coastline armouring along the Mediterranean Andalusia littoral (South of Spain)
2016
Abstract Emplacement of hard coastal defence structures, such as seawalls, revetments, groins and breakwaters, or even ports, harbours and marinas, is commonly known as coastline armouring. This paper deals with coastal armouring evolution along the 546 km Mediterranean coast of Andalusia (Spain). It is based on photo interpretation and GIS tools, which have been employed to map coastal structure emplacement and evolution by analysis of 1956, 1977, 2001 and 2010 aerial photos. Additionally the coefficient of infrastructural impact K , which represented the relation between the total length of maritime structures and the length of the study coastal section, was obtained - i.e. minimal at 0.0…
Interpreting the Beaker phenomenon in Mediterranean France: an Iron Age analogy
2012
http://antiquity.ac.uk/ant/086/ant0860131.htm; International audience; The author offers a new descriptive explanation of the Beaker phenomenon, by focusing on Mediterranean France and making reference to the Greek influx in the same area 2000 years later. In the Iron Age, the influence began with an exploratory phase, and then went on to create new settlements and colonise new areas away from the coast. The Beaker analogy is striking, with phases of exploration and implantation and acculturation, but adjusted to include a final phase where Beaker practice was more independent. Comparing the numerous models put forward to explain it, the author shows that immigration and a cultural package …
