Sampling procedure in a willow plantation for estimation of moisture content
2015
Abstract Heating value and fuel quality of wood is closely connected to moisture content. In this work the variation of moisture content (MC) of short rotation coppice (SRC) willow shoots is described for five clones during one harvesting season. Subsequently an appropriate sampling procedure minimising labour costs and sampling uncertainty is proposed, where the MC of a single stem section with the length of 10–50 cm corresponds to the mean shoot moisture content (MSMC) with a bias of maximum 11 g kg −1 . This bias can be reduced by selecting the stem section according to the particular clone. The average difference in MSMC between the largest and smallest shoot in a stump was 31 g kg −1 .…
Meeting Apart: Woody Allen's Characters, Films and Spectators
2007
An analysis of the relationships between Woody Allen's films (from "Take the Money and Run", 1969, to "Anything Else", 2003) and their spectators, starting frim a definition of the public image of the filmmaker then focusing on the film persona and the way the films represent authorial figures and the paradoxical meeting between film and spectator(s).
Sublime, corsetti, e ragtime. Woody Allen e Gustav Mahler
2022
L'articolo esamina la relazione tra la musica di Mahler e il cinema nel caso di Woody Allen. Come è noto, nei suoi film il regista statunitense mette in primo piano la musica in molti modi. Ad esempio in "Un'altra donna" (1988) la Sinfonia n. 4 gioca un importante ruolo intra-diegetico che va oltre la semplice funzione informativa relativa all'ambiente sociale della protagonista. La musica di Mahler compare anche in altri film, ma in prospettiva più ampia agisce da elemento focale nella poetica di Allen. Attraverso l'analisi di alcune scene, si approfondisce la natura del rapporto tra Allen e Mahler e in che senso tale rapporto costituisce un caso assolutamente positivo di "ricezione mahler…
Mahler and Film: The Case of Woody Allen
2013
This paper will examine the relationship between Mahler and ‘moving image’ in the case of Woody Allen. As we know, the American director has a long-standing love affair with classical music. His films foreground music in many and interesting ways. One example can be found in "Another Woman" (1988). Here the Symphony No. 4 by Mahler plays an intra-diegetic role, but it goes beyond the simple ‘informative function’ about the social milieu of the main character. Mahler’s music appears also in other films, but in a wider perspective it operates as a focal point of most of Allen’s filmography. Through the comparative analysis between emblematic scenes, I’ll try to explain the particular nature o…
¿Crimen sin castigo? Sobre la primera incursión de Woody Allen en el universo moral de Dostoievski
2017
El texto examina la dialéctica que Woody Allen establece con la obra de Dostoievski, en particular con "Crimen y castigo", en su película "Delitos y faltas". Temas como la culpa, la suerte, el nihilismo o la existencia de Dios reciben un tratamiento inspirado en las novelas del autor ruso. Del análisis de la cinta se concluye que frente a la polifonía -en terminología de M. Bajtín- característica de Dostoievski, Allen pretende que prevalezca en el film su punto de vista pesimista sobre la naturaleza humana. Aun así, la omnipresente metáfora de la mirada y la pregunta constante por el amor provocan que también aquí surjan interrogantes en torno a la perspectiva dominante.
Il risveglio del dormiglione: alcune considerazioni sul film di W. Allen “Sleeper” e sui suoi adattamenti per il pubblico italiano
2022
In these pages we reflect in particular on the cultural meanings conveyed by Woody Allen's film Sleeper and on their recontextualization which took place in the two adaptations for the Italian public. More generally, we aim to reflect on the outcomes of the translation of comedy into cinema and to think about how it, more than other translation processes, involves the revision and, sometimes, the rewriting not only of single jokes and gags, but of entire dialogues, with the aim of recontextualizing those comic jokes and situations to the cultural milieu and social intersubjective practice of the audience for which the dialogues are translated
Annie, Marion, Alice et les autres : Woody Allen et l’intime au féminin
2015
National audience; Si l’on qualifie des liens puissants et profonds de relations intimes, il n’y a pas lieu de s’étonner du choix d’un cinéaste qui fait des amours et des désamours entre les êtres mais aussi entre les œuvres, ceux qui les créent et ceux qui les reçoivent, la matière même de ses films. Afin d’étudier la relation à l’intime des films d’Allen, nous avons choisi comme guides quatre personnages féminins créés par un cinéaste masculin à trois moments différents de sa filmographie. Ces femmes nous sont apparues comme autant de passeuses, capables de nous faire pénétrer le for intérieur des films dont elles sont les protagonistes, leur caractère, féminin nous semblant bien à même d…

Forest accessibility, Madonie mountains (northern Sicily, Italy): implementing a GIS decision support system
2021
Valorisation and sustainable exploitation of woody biomass from cultivation interventions might be an important opportunity to track alternative development trails for rural communities in natural protected areas. The governance of Mediterranean protected areas is characterized by overlapping, sometimes conflicting institutions, stakeholders and regulations, causing negative impacts on decision-making processes. We present an open source GIS-based decision support system tool for mapping forest accessibility and optimizing woody biomass extraction. Two models were implemented to support forest managers during the decision-making process in designing and managing wood-energy supply chains. T…
