Italy’s North-South Divide Yet Again: Some New Evidence from Firms, Sectors and Territories
2021
The recent literature on the North-South divide in Italy has refuted a homogeneous reading and treatment of the “Southern question” and has recalled the importance of deep intra-South disparities. This paper contributes to this line of research, offering some descriptions of intra-South disparities. We first make use of data at the firm level pertaining to the manufacturing sector between 2008 and 2019 to show how productive units differ within each macro-area according to their main balance-sheet indicators and to technical efficiency, both in terms of their average and variability. Secondly, we use different data available at the provincial level to assess the territorial disparities exis…
Parameters affecting the fundamental period of infilled RC frame structures
2015
Despite the fact that the fundamental period appears to be one of the most critical parameters for the seismic design of structures according to the modal superposition method, the so far available in the literature proposals for its estimation are often conflicting with each other making their use uncertain. Furthermore, the majority of these proposals do not take into account the presence of infills walls into the structure despite the fact that infill walls increase the stiffness and mass of structure leading to significant changes in the fundamental period numerical value. Toward this end, this paper presents a detailed and in-depth analytical investigation on the parameters that affect…

2014
s / Resuscitation 85S (2014) S15–S121 S71 Results: Survey (parents): 100% optimal evaluation; parents said their children learned. Test (children): 94–100% knew how to respond: body-, armsand hands-position in CPR, where and how fast to press; 88% knew “how warn and when start CPR.” Conclusion: Children demonstrated they knew:When and how towarn; Basic techniques of CPR; Rate of compressionswithmusic; Transmit Adult CPR technique. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.resuscitation.2014.03.177
Multivariate statistical analysis for water demand modelling: implementation, performance analysis, and comparison with the PRP model
2015
Water demand is the driving force behind hydraulic dynamics in water distribution systems. Consequently, it is crucial to accurately estimate the actual water use to develop reliable simulation models. In this study, copula-based multivariate analysis was proposed and used for demand prediction for a given return period. The analysis was applied to water consumption data collected in the water distribution network of Palermo (Italy). The approach produced consistent demand patterns and could be a powerful tool when coupled with water distribution network models for design or analysis problems. The results were compared with those obtained using a classical water demand model, the Poisson re…
Rockburst induced ground motion—a comparative study
2004
Abstract While rockbursts from underground copper mining in Western Poland normally produce surface peak ground accelerations (PGA) and velocities of 0.05–0.1 g and 1–3 cm/s, occasionally these peak motions may exceed 0.15 g and 10 cm/s, respectively. These larger motions are of considerable concern and an investigation has been undertaken to define the nature of these larger induced ground motions. This paper compares these rockburst motions with low intensity earthquakes. Various strong motion parameters such as PGA, peak ground velocity (PGV) and displacements as well as strong motion duration, Arias intensity, Fourier and response spectra are compared with those from earthquakes. It is …
Rīgas Politehnikuma studentu disciplinēšanas regula
2022
Raksts ir tapis Studentu karcera ilgtermiņa pētnieciskā darba ietvaros, kur par pētāmo objektu izvēlēts Rīgas Politehnikuma/Rīgas Politehniskā institūta Studentu disciplinēšanas regulu. Tiek analizēti regulas panti Studentu karcera kontekstā, lai izvērtētu to formalitātes sakritību un nesakritību ar faktisko situāciju, konstatējot atšķirības studentu soda termiņu noteikšanā. Arī tiek veidotas paralēles ar analogu Studentu karceri, kas atrodas Heidelbergas universitātē, izšķirot kopīgo un atšķirīgo studentu karcera ieslēgšanas iemeslos, studentu etniskajā sastāvā, telpu iekārtojumā un sadzīves apstākļos.
Studentu karcera laika kapsulas
2023
Raksts veltīts unikālam atklājumam Latvijas Universitātes vēsturiskajā Studentu karcerī, kas glabājies kopš 19./20. gs. mijas. Tiek analizētas 3 papirosu paciņas un 1 sērkociņu kastīte no Krievijas impērijas laika, noskaidrojot tā izcelsmi, pielietojumu un zinātnisko novitāti. Atrastie priekšmeti liecina, ka Studentu karcerī ieslēgtie studenti spēja apiet Rīgas Politehnikuma Studentu disciplinēšanas regulā noteikto sodu par smēķēšanu. Priekšmeti arī ir Latvijas industriālās vēstures atstāts mantojums, kas liecina par Baltijas reģiona nozīmi Krievijas impērijas rūpniecības attīstībā.
