Projective moduli space of semistable principal sheaves for a reductive group
Let X be a smooth projective complex variety, and let G be an algebraic
reductive complex group. We define the notion of principal G-sheaf, that
generalises the notion of principal G-bundle. Then we define a notion of
semistability, and construct the projective moduli space of semistable
principal G-sheaves on X. This is a natural compactification of the moduli
space of principal G-bundles.

Filming Bronte's Moorish soundscape : an aural analysis of five Wuthering Heights film adaptations
This paper dissects the sound-effects codes of the Wuthering Heights film versions directed by Wyler, Bunuel, Fuest, Yoshida and Kosminsky in order to determine to what extent these film adaptors succeed in echoing thematically the novel's essential 'wuthering'. What such an analysis reveals is that, while Kosminsky 's soundtrack is more consistently analogous to Bronte's moorish soundscape in its recreation of such crucial aural motifs as canine baying, avian trilling and gusty wind, even the soundtracks devised by Wyer, Yoshida, Fuest and Bunuel have their enviable moments of undoubted Brontean significance.peer-reviewe
Notes on two interesting specimens of Hippotion celerio (Linnaeus) (Lepidoptera, Sphingidae)
Moths of the genus Hippotion Hübner, 1822 (Family: Sphingidae) are distributed in Africa, Central
and southern Asia and as migrants in southern Europe and Australia. Currently, around 30 species
are accommodated in this genus. Hippotion celerio is a regular migrant to the Maltese Islands. On the onset of warmer weather conditions, colonies establish themselves in North
Africa and Europe. It is a resident species in the Azores and the Atlantic coast of Morocco and most
probably also in the Levant, the Arabian Peninsula and Egyptpeer-reviewe

Neutrinos and Cosmology: an update
We review the current cosmological status of neutrinos, with particular
emphasis on their effects on Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, Large Scale Structure of
the universe and Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation measurements.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, to appear in the proceedings of IFAE, Catania 200
Hyperon ordering in neutron star matter
We explore the possible formation of ordered phases in neutron star matter.
In the framework of a quantum hadrodynamics model where neutrons, protons and
Lambda hyperons interact via the exchange of mesons, we compare the energy of
the usually assumed uniform, liquid phase, to that of a configuration in which
di-lambda pairs immersed in an uniform nucleon fluid are localized on the nodes
of a regular lattice. The confining potential is calculated self-consistently
as resulting from the combined action of the nucleon fluid and the other
hyperons, under the condition of beta equilibrium. We are able to obtain stable
ordered phases for some reasonable sets of values of the model parameters. This
could have important consequences on the structure and cooling of neutron
stars.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures. To appear in the proceedings of the 4th Catania

CCD and photon-counting photometric observations of asteroids carried out at Padova and Catania observatories
We present the results of observational campaigns of asteroids performed at
Asiago Station of Padova Astronomical Observatory and at M.G. Fracastoro
Station of Catania Astrophysical Observatory, as part of the large research
programme on Solar System minor bodies undertaken since 1979 at the Physics and
Astronomy Department of Catania University. Photometric observations of six
Main-Belt asteroids (27 Euterpe, 173 Ino, 182 Elsa, 539 Pamina, 849 Ara, and
984 Gretia), one Hungaria (1727 Mette), and two Near-Earth Objects (3199
Nefertiti and 2004 UE) are reported. The first determination of the synodic
rotational period of 2004 UE was obtained. For 182 Elsa and 1727 Mette the
derived synodic period of 80.23+/-0.08 h and 2.981+/-0.001 h, respectively,
represents a significant improvement on the previously published values. For
182 Elsa the first determination of the H-G magnitude relation is also
presented.Comment: 19 pages, 11 figures, accepted for publication in Planetary and Space
