Transition and Turbulence Control
This volume contains articles based on lectures given at the Workshop on Transition and Turbulence Control, hosted by the Institute for Mathematical Sciences, National University of Singapore, 8OCo10 December 2004. The lecturers included 13 of the worldOCOs foremost experts in the control of transitioning and turbulent flows. The chapters cover a wide range of subjects in the broad area of flow control, and will be useful to researchers working in this area in academia, government laboratories and industry. The coverage includes control theory, passive, active and reactive methods for controlling transitional and turbulent wall-bounded flows, noise suppression and mixing enhancement of supersonic turbulent jets, compliant coatings, modern flow diagnostic systems, and swept wing instabilities."
The Medieval Salento
Located in the heel of the Italian boot, the Salento region was home to a diverse population between the ninth and fifteenth centuries. Inhabitants spoke Latin, Greek, and various vernaculars, and their houses of worship served sizable congregations of Jews as well as Roman-rite and Orthodox Christians. Yet the Salentines of this period laid claim to a definable local identity that transcended linguistic and religious boundaries. The evidence of their collective culture is embedded in the traces they left behind: wall paintings and inscriptions, graffiti, carved tombstone decorations, belt fittings from graves, and other artifacts reveal a wide range of religious, civic, and domestic pra...
New Journalism(s) in Theory and Practices Learning from Digital Transformations
Over the last decade, journalism has undergone radical changes: new languages, actors and methods have risen especially due to the digital transformation, revolutionizing this field in unpredictable ways. This book collects the most relevant scientific outputs of the Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Higher Education Post-Crisis Journalism in Post-Crisis Libya: A Bottom-up Approach to the Development of a Cross-Media Journalism Master Program (PAgES), co-funded by the European Commission in the Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Higher Education framework. It is ideally divided into two parts: the first section focuses on the theoretical and epistemological challenges of contemporary journalism, while the second part deals with the experiences of journalism(s), evoking tools, technical skills, and practices that are required within the media industry. Addressing topics concerning artificial intelligence, the role of algorithms, citizen journalism, the impact of Covid-19 and its challenges, social media dissemination, and many more, it gives a comprehensive and plural overview of what journalism is, or can be, today.
“From Faraway California”
Offering a transdisciplinary journey across Thomas Pynchon’s California trilogy, “From Faraway California” addresses the representation of (city)space in the Crying of Lot 49, Vineland, and Inherent Vice through “geourban” lenses. Drawing on specific concepts in urban and regional studies, the book provides a thorough examination of Pynchon’s spatial imaginary, where the reader comes to understand how his fiction tackles the socio-political and cultural consequences of urban restructuring in the contemporary city and the lives of its citizens. Pynchon’s depiction of California is further analyzed from mythical and environmental standpoints to shed light on his planetary vision and (post)postmodernist poetics in the span of nearly half a century. More broadly, the book’s geocritical and urban analyses of Pynchon’s fiction indicate what might take place concerning the future of urbanism, toward “planetary urbanization” and the formation of the “city region.”
Advances in Turbulence VII
Advances in Turbulence VII contains an overview of the state of turbulence research with some bias towards work done in Europe. It represents an almost complete collection of the invited and contributed papers delivered at the Seventh European Turbulence Conference, sponsored by EUROMECH and ERCOFTAC and organized by the Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur. New high-Reynolds number experiments combined with new techniques of imaging, non-intrusive probing, processing and simulation provide high-quality data which put significant constraints on possible theories. For the first time, it has been shown, for a class of passive scalar problems, why dimensional analysis sometimes gives the wrong answers and how anomalous intermittency corrections can be calculated from first principles. The volume is thus geared towards specialists in the area of flow turbulence who could not attend the conference as well as anybody interested in this rapidly moving field.
They Came By Ship
They Came By Ship: The Stories of the Calitrani Immigrants in America is the product of the Internet Age which brought together people researching their roots to their ancestral town of Calitri in Southern Italy. They came to know one another and, in many cases, rekindled old friendships and discovered distant relatives in second and third cousins. They began sharing stories on the Net of the good old days, recalling neighborhoods where their parents and grandparents had settled after emigrating from Italy. These communities included Brooklyn, New Rochelle, Tarrytown, Dobbs Ferry, Batavia, Mount Vernon in New York; Montclair, Paterson, Newark in New Jersey; Stamford, Bridgeport, Torrington i...
Comparative Succession Law
Launching a major new research project examining the principles of succession law in comparative perspective, this book discusses the formalities which the law imposes in order for a person to make a testamentary disposal of property. Among the questions considered are the following. How are wills made? What precisely are the rules - as to the signature of the testator, the use of witnesses, the need for a notary public or lawyer, and so on? Is there is a choice of will-type and, if so, which type is used most often and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each? How common is will-making or do most people die intestate? What happens if formalities are not observed? How can requiremen...
Costruire in Terra d’Otranto tra Medioevo ed Età moderna. Atti del Convegno Lecce, ex Ospedale dello Spirito Santo, 11-13 luglio 2019
Con aggiornamenti, modifiche e alcune assenze questo testo raccoglie gli interventi del convegno “Costruire in Terra d’Otranto tra Medioevo ed Età moderna”, che si è svolto a Lecce dall’11 al 13 luglio 2019 nella sede dell’ex Ospedale dello Spirito Santo. Gli atti si pongono come un utile contributo alla conoscenza del cantiere di Terra d’Otranto, fra lettura archeologica, artistica, architettonica e urbana. I saggi riguardano in particolare le caratteristiche del cantiere medievale di Terra d’Otranto e della sua organizzazione e con riferimento ad aspetti peculiari del linguaggio architettonico proprio di alcune costruzioni, come ad esempio la basilica di Centoporte a Giurdi...
