Tradizione manoscritta e citazioni epigrafiche di Ovidio. Una nota su Trist. 1, 3, 25 e Pont. 1, 2, 111 alla luce di alcuni confronti epigrafici

This paper discusses two verses of Ovid’s Tristia (1, 3, 25) and Epistulae ex Ponto (1, 2, 111), for which the manuscript tradition is discordant. These lines are quoted in three epigraphic documents: CLE 1339 = ICVR, I 3903, CLE 1979 = ICVR, VIII 23529 and CLE 1988 = CIL, VI 37965. How reliable are the quotations in the Latin inscriptions? Do they help to reassess the Ovidian text? The main purpose of this study is to answer such questions, with respect to these particular cases

Dispatcher3 – Machine learning to support flight planning processes

This poster will present the final results of the Clean Sky 2 project Dispatcher3. Dispatcher3 focuses on the use of machine learning techniques to support flight operations prior departure with holding predictions, runway at arrival estimation and fuel deviations pre-departure to support the flight crew, and ATFM and reactionary delays on D-1 to support the duty manage

Use of Modal Representation for the Supporting Structure in Model Based Fault Identification of Large Rotating Machinery: Part 2: Application to a Real Machine

Model-based techniques are often employed in diagnostics of rotating machines to locate and to evaluate the severity of a malfunction. The use of a reliable model can increase the accuracy of identification. Rigid supports or lumped mass pedestals are not always enough to account for foundation dynamics; a modal representation of the supports can improve the identification results. The method, discussed in the first part, is here validated using experimental data of a 320 MW steam turbogenerator. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first case of fault identification on real data from a large machine, where the supporting structure is accounted for by means of a modal model

The Running of the Cosmological and the Newton Constant controlled by the Cosmological Event Horizon

We study the renormalisation group running of the cosmological and the Newton constant, where the renormalisation scale is given by the inverse of the radius of the cosmological event horizon. In this framework, we discuss the future evolution of the universe, where we find stable de Sitter solutions, but also "big crunch"-like and "big rip"-like events, depending on the choice of the parameters in the model.Comment: 14 pages, 7 figures, minor improvements, references adde

Pasta consumption and connected dietary habits: Associations with glucose control, adiposity measures, and cardiovascular risk factors in people with type 2 diabetes—TOSCA.IT study

Background: Pasta is a refined carbohydrate with a low glycemic index. Whether pasta shares the metabolic advantages of other low glycemic index foods has not really been investigated. The aim of this study is to document, in people with type-2 diabetes, the consumption of pasta, the connected dietary habits, and the association with glucose control, measures of adiposity, and major cardiovascular risk factors. Methods: We studied 2562 participants. The dietary habits were assessed with the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) questionnaire. Sex-specific quartiles of pasta consumption were created in order to explore the study aims. Results: A higher pasta consumption was associated with a lower intake of proteins, total and saturated fat, cholesterol, added sugar, and fiber. Glucose control, body mass index, prevalence of obesity, and visceral obesity were not significantly different across the quartiles of pasta intake. No relation was found with LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, but there was an inverse relation with HDL-cholesterol. Systolic blood pressure increased with pasta consumption; but this relation was not confirmed after correction for confounders. Conclusions: In people with type-2 diabetes, the consumption of pasta, within the limits recommended for total carbohydrates intake, is not associated with worsening of glucose control, measures of adiposity, and major cardiovascular risk factors
