The Passenger: Rome
The best new writing, photography, art, and reportage from and about Rome—in the series that’s “like a literary vacation” (Publishers Weekly). If you believe recent chatter about Rome—in the media and by its residents—the city is on the verge of collapse. Each year, it slips further down the ranking of the world’s most livable cities. To the problems faced by all large capitals—hit-and-run tourism, traffic, the divide between elegant, Airbnb-dominated city centers and run-down suburbs—in recent years Rome seems to have added a list of calamities of its own: a string of failing administrations, widespread corruption, the resurgence of fascist movements, rampant crime. A seem...
La storia di Roma in 100 delitti
Dalla banda della Magliana al delitto di via Poma, dal Canaro al caso Varani, la Capitale si tinge di rosso Il crimine è liquido e la fluidità che lo caratterizza non è altro che il riflesso dell’evoluzione della società. Al mutare delle condizioni sociali, infatti, i criminali si trasformano a loro volta. Raccontare i crimini di un luogo è quindi un modo efficace per descrivere la storia di una società, e per comprendere l’evoluzione e le dinamiche che la contraddistinguono. La grandezza e la magnificenza di Roma sono sempre andate di pari passo con i delitti più macabri e violenti, diventando, così, due facce della stessa medaglia. Questo libro ricostruisce la storia della Capi...
Scale Space and Variational Methods in Computer Vision
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Scale Space and Variational Methods in Computer Vision, SSVM 2023, which took place in Santa Margherita di Pula, Italy, in May 2023. The 57 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 72 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: Inverse Problems in Imaging; Machine and Deep Learning in Imaging; Optimization for Imaging: Theory and Methods; Scale Space, PDEs, Flow, Motion and Registration.
The City of the Living
For fans of Truman Capote and Emmanuel Carrere "Psychogeography at its most perceptive."— Financial Times In March 2016, in an apartment on the outskirts of Rome, two "ordinary" young men brutally tortured and murdered twenty-two-year-old Luca Varani. News of the seemingly inexplicable crime sent shockwaves across Rome and beyond. After the crime comes to light, Lagioia begins investigating the crime by meeting with the victim's family and corresponding with one of the killers. It soon becomes clear, however, that to investigate this crime means to descend into the darkest corners of Rome and of the human psyche. Lagioia leads us through a maze of betrayed expectations, sexual confusion, economic grievances and identity crises to locate the breaking point, the point after which anything is possible. Sharp, hypnotic, devastating, The City of The Living is not just the story of a crime, but of human nature itself: the tension between responsibility and guilt, between the drive to oppress and the desire to be free, between who we are and who we can become.
Odio
Ci sono gli uomini che odiano le donne, come Gianfranco Stevanin, che sevizia prostitute nel «casale degli orrori». Le infermiere che odiano i malati, «angeli della morte» come Lucy Letby, la killer inglese dei neonati, o l’italiana Sonya Caleffi che arriva a uccidere una paziente centenaria. I violenti di estrema destra che odiano chi ha un colore della pelle diverso dal loro, come Brenton Tarrant che assalta una moschea a Christchurch, o Luca Traini che semina il terrore per le strade di Macerata. Gli insospettabili che diventano assassini in un delirio di vendetta, come Christopher Dorner, un poliziotto che finisce a sparare ai suoi stessi colleghi. Ci sono quelli che odiano gli omo...
Numerical Computations: Theory and Algorithms
The two-volume set LNCS 11973 and 11974 constitute revised selected papers from the Third International Conference on Numerical Computations: Theory and Algorithms, NUMTA 2019, held in Crotone, Italy, in June 2019. This volume, LNCS 11974, consists of 19 full and 32 short papers chosen among regular papers presented at the the Conference including also the paper of the winner (Lorenzo Fiaschi, Pisa, Italy) of The Springer Young Researcher Prize for the best NUMTA 2019 presentation made by a young scientist. The papers in part II explore the advanced research developments in such interconnected fields as local and global optimization, machine learning, approximation, and differential equations. A special focus is given to advanced ideas related to methods and applications using emerging computational paradigms.
Deciphering the T Cell Response in SARS-CoV-2 Infection
COVID-19 is a recently emerged infectious disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. The immune system has a primary role in pathogen elimination and a rapid and effective response can limit disease severity. In this context, T cells play the major role in cell mediated adaptive immune response. The protective role of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells has been inferred from studies on patients who recovered from SARS and MERS and accumulating data are now showing their relevance in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Moreover, memory T cells induced by previous pathogens can shape the susceptibility to, and the clinical severity of other infections, but the complete picture has yet to be elucidated. If the virus is not rapidly eliminated, COVID-19 may progress towards a secondary inflammatory phase that is directly responsible for a worsening in clinical symptoms and immune system impairment. Besides marked lymphopenia, COVID-19 patients’ T cell compartment displays several alterations involving different subpopulations of T cells in terms of phenotype, metabolic profile and functionality.
stern CRIME 37/2021 - Der Tod in Rom
Erzählen kann man von einem Verbrechen auf viele Arten. Man kann den Blick besonders stark auf die Gesellschaft und die Zeit richten, in der es geschehen ist. Oder stärker auf die Opfer. Oder auf Täter und Täterinnen. Aber immer ist der Blick auch subjektiv, geprägt von der Perspektive der Autorinnen und Autoren und ihrer Haltung zu dem, was geschehen ist. Manchmal sind jene, die eine Geschichte erzählen, sogar Teil von ihr. In dieser Ausgabe schildert der Kommissar Benedikt Mühlrath seine Ermittlung in einem außergewöhnlichen Einbruchsfall und beschreibt unser Kollege Andreas Albes, wie ihn seine Brieffreundschaft zu einem wegen Kindsmordes Verurteilten an sich selbst zweifeln lie...
De levandes stad
"... en insiktsfull socioekonomisk analys av Italien − och ett försök att förstå vad människor kan göra mot varandra och mot sig själva." Financial Times "De levandes stad" är en dokumentärroman om ett brutalt italienskt mordfall, en resa längs den eviga stadens gator och en undersökning av människans mörkaste vrår. I mars 2016 gick 23-årige Luca Varani en fruktansvärd död till mötes i en lägenhet i utkanten av Rom. Polisen hittade snabbt de två unga män som torterat och mördat honom. De kom båda från ansedda familjer och tycktes sakna motiv. Vad hade utlöst det extrema våldet? Ingen i deras närhet kunde tänka sig att de var kapabla till något sådant. Fallet skakade Italien och uppmärksammades internationellt. Nicola Lagioia, som skrev för tidningen La Repubblica, intervjuade släktingar och vänner till de inblandade, tog del av förhörsprotokoll och korresponderade med en av gärningspersonerna. Snart insåg han att han måste söka svaren genom en nedstigning i skuggstaden Rom, präglad av våld, droger och korruption.
Computational Methods for Inverse Problems in Imaging
This book presents recent mathematical methods in the area of inverse problems in imaging with a particular focus on the computational aspects and applications. The formulation of inverse problems in imaging requires accurate mathematical modeling in order to preserve the significant features of the image. The book describes computational methods to efficiently address these problems based on new optimization algorithms for smooth and nonsmooth convex minimization, on the use of structured (numerical) linear algebra, and on multilevel techniques. It also discusses various current and challenging applications in fields such as astronomy, microscopy, and biomedical imaging. The book is intended for researchers and advanced graduate students interested in inverse problems and imaging.
