    The Working Method of Andrea Palladio : Palaces, Vicenza and the World (2023)
    Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :
    Details
    Keywords: Cities and towns History. ; Architecture. ; Culture Study and teaching. ; Geography. ; Urban History. ; Architecture. ; Cultural Studies. ; Regional Geography.
    Description / Table of Contents: Chapter 1 - Architect of the city -- Chapter 2 - The Gothic Vicenza. An empty city full of Palaces -- Chapter 3 - Andrea Palladio's Method and Work -- Chapter 4 - Vicenza after Palladio.
    Abstract: This book shows through historical data, diagrams and drawings, the design system of an Italian historic center, that of Vicenza, Italy. Vicenza is the result of an urban construction process that has as its model the invention of the Palladian design system. The main argument is how the architectural vision of Andrea Palladio shaped Vincenza to the city it is today. Vicenza is an example of a collective dream, an expression of the best Renaissance artistic culture, a classic example that a city can reform itself through intellectual activity.

    Abstract: This textbook provides basic quantitative models allowing researchers and decision makers to a) assess viability of threatened populations and evaluate the success of species reintroductions, b) estimate invasion abilities of alien species, c) evaluate the persistence of metapopulations subjected to habitat destruction and fragmentation, d) analyze policies and strategies for the sustainable harvesting of biological resources, and e) assess the course of human and nonhuman diseases and the possible containment measures. Air and water pollution, overexploitation of renewable resources (e.g. marine fish stocks and forests), massive land-use change together with climate change impact the Earth biodiversity and impair the functioning of ecosystems. Globalization increases the risk of diffusion of alien species and new pathogens. A panoply of numerical problems mainly based on real data from the ecological literature enables the reader to practice the presented modelling tools. presented modelling tools. presented modelling tools. presented modelling tools. presented modelling tools. presented modelling tools. presented modelling tools. presented modelling tools. presented modelling tools. presented modelling tools. presented modelling tools. .

    Geomaterials in Cultural Heritage (2006)
    London : The Geological Society
    Details
    Description / Table of Contents: This volume gives a broad view of the application of geoscience techniques to the study of monuments and objects from excavations and museums, including their origin, technique of manufacture, age and conservation. It reaffirms the important contribution of geosciences in the interdisciplinary approach to the study of complex materials such as minerals, rocks, glass, metals, mortar, plaster, slags and pottery. The papers in this book cover three topics: the study of pottery, glass, stone and mortar; the application of Raman spectroscopy to a wide variety of objects; and the future of archaeometry. Interdisciplinary studies including field geology, geophysics, microscopy, textural analysis, physical methods and geochemistry are used to unlock information from the ancient materials, such as the provenance of the raw materials, the firing technology, the ancient recipes, and the alteration pathways.

    Rollout of central America’s national public earthquake early warning systems (2023)
    In:  XXVIII General Assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-07-25
    Description: The ATTAC project, or Alerta Temprana de Terremotos en América Central, aims to establish public earthquake early warning (EEW) systems in Central America. The region experiences frequent subduction and shallow crustal earthquakes and has a vulnerable building stock, along with a rapidly growing population density. EEW can reduce the fatalities and injuries that occur during strong earthquakes. The ATTAC project is building national EEW systems at seismic agencies in each of Guatemala (INSIVUMEH), El Salvador (MARN), Nicaragua (INETER), and Costa Rica (OVSICORI-UNA), with the collaboration of SED at ETH Zurich. The EEW systems are based on the ETHZ SeisComP EEW (ESE) add-on modules and include the Virtual Seismologist and FinDer algorithms. The project has deployed 70 low-latency accelerographs across the region and has implemented performance-tracking tools to monitor the network and EEW results in terms of accuracy and speed. The ESE dissemination module allows to select the best of the EEW solutions and to deliver targeted alerts via a mobile application and digital TV. Data analysis of the mobile application has shown promise (74% of users notified in 5 seconds). Although the number of active recipients is in the low thousands, it is scaling up. We demonstrate successful EEW for recent earthquakes with delay from event initiation to alert dissemination ranging from 10 to 15 seconds for shallow onshore seismicity and from 20 to 25 seconds for offshore or deep events. We focus on false alerts with software and configuration optimizations and establishing best practice in network management.

    Quantification of urban mitigation potentials - coping with data heterogeneity (2023)
    In:  Heliyon
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-10-18
    Description: Cities are at the forefront of European and international climate action. However, in many cities, the ever-growing urban population is putting pressure on settlement and infrastructure development, increasing attention to urban planning, infrastructure and buildings. This paper introduces a set of quantification approaches, capturing impacts of urban planning measures in three fields of action: sustainable building, transport and redensification. The quantification approaches have been developed to account for different levels of data availability, thus providing users with quantification approaches that are applicable across cities. The mitigation potentials of various measures such as a modal shift, the substitution of building materials with wood, and different redensification scenarios were calculated. The substitution of conventional building materials with wood was analyzed as having a high mitigation potential. Building construction, in combination with urban planning and design, are key drivers for mitigating climate change in cities. Given the data heterogeneity among cities, mixed quantification approaches could be defined and the measures and policy areas with the greatest climate mitigation potential identified.

    Chapter Topic modeling for analysing the Russian propaganda in the conflict with Ukraine (2023)
    Firenze University Press, Genova University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-08-08
    Description: The conflict between Ukraine and Russia is changing Europe, which is facing a crisis destined to reshape the internal and external relations of the continent, shifting international balances. In this contribution, we show preliminary results on the monitoring of Russian propaganda. In fact, we analysed the content of online newspapers (Strategic Culture Foundation, Global research, News Front, South Front, Katehon, Geopolitics) used as propaganda tools of the Russian government. The newspapers create and amplify the narrative of the conflict, transmitting information filtered by the Kremlin to advance Putin's propaganda about the war. The objective of the work, therefore, is to understand what were the main themes that the Russian media used to motivate the conflict in Ukraine. Specifically, the proposed analysis runs from March 2021, when the Russian military began moving weapons and equipment into Crimea, to the end of March 2022, the day of the first negotiations in Istanbul. In this regard, we used topic modeling techniques to analyse textual content that uncovers the latent thematic structure in document collections to identify emerging topics.

    People or Property (2023)
    Springer Nature | Palgrave Macmillan
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-11-16
    Description: This open access book explores the intersection of property law, relocation, and resettlement processes in the United States and among communities that grapple with migration as an adaptation strategy. As communities face the prospect of relocating because of rising seas, policy makers, disaster specialists, and community leaders are scrambling to understand what adaptation pathways are legally possible. While in its ideal application, law functions blindly and without variation, the authors find that legal contradictions come to bear on resettlement processes and place certain communities further in harm’s way. This book will unearth these contradictions in order to understand why successful community-based resettlement has presented such a challenge to communities that are experiencing increasing land deterioration as a result of climate change.

    Lectures on Solid Mechanics (2022)
    Firenze University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-11
    Description: This volume presents the theoretical basics of solid mechanics collecting the lectures held by the Authors for the course of Mechanics of Solids to environmental engineering students at the University of Florence. Lectures on Solid Mechanics is organized in two parts. The first one introduces the theory of three-dimensional elasticity where, after a preparatory synthesis of the basic concepts of mathematics and geometry, the fundamental framework of strain and stress in elastic bodies are introduced. Then the classical law of linear elasticity is presented and finally the part concludes with the "Principle of Virtual Work and variational methods". Moreover, at the end of selected chapters the essential notions of the theory of shells are discussed. The second part concerns the traditional theory of beams focusing on the four fundamental cases: beam under axial forces, terminal couples, torsion, bending and shear. The Readers addressed by this volume are mainly the undergraduate students of Engineering Schools.
