Blasco Giurato. Un grande direttore della fotografia.

Blasco Giurato rappresenta una figura di spicco ed eccellenza nella professione di operatore di macchina e di direttore della fotografia cinematografica e televisiva. Anche semplicemente a scorrere la sua vastissima filmografia e a consultare gli elenchi delle pellicole e degli sceneggiati televisivi a cui ha partecipato in veste di protagonista in un'attività preziosa e incessante che dura da quasi mezzo secolo, si resta ammirati e conquistati. Non c'è film e non c'è fiction che non si segnali per la qualità della luce, per gli specifici cromatismi, per i movimenti di macchina e, spesso, per i suoi interventi innovativi, sia di illuminotecnica sia di messa in quadro. Quella di Blasco Giurato è una lezione di stile e di cromatismo cinematografico che ha fatto e continua a fare scuola: un esempio di professionalità ed alto artigianato che fa parte a pieno titolo della migliore tradizione della Storia del Cinema italiano

A new method for the determination of very small Γγ partial widths

We present a new method for the measurement of very small Γγ partial width that is important for the synthesis of elements in astrophysics. The method is based on the simultaneous detection of scattered beam, residual nucleus and decay γ rays. This method is optimized for the use of the CHIMERA detector at LNS. Experimental details are described

Porcentagem de água em carcaça de frango congelado, vendidos em supermercados, Rio Branco – Acre / Percentage of water in frozen chicken carcass, sold in supermarkets, Rio Branco – Acre

Objetivou-se avaliar a porcentagem de água em carcaças de frango congelado e comercializados em supermercados da cidade de Rio Branco- acre. Para a realização desta pesquisa, foram utilizadas cinco carcaças de diferentes lotes, de seis marcas disponíveis (marca A, marca B, marca C, marca D, marca E e marca F), totalizando 30 amostras sem tempero e com vísceras. A técnica aplicada é o “Drip Test”, metodologia indicada pelo MAPA, conforme portaria nº 210/98, que preconiza uma porcentagem média de água de até 6%. Os frangos congelados foram adquiridos e transportados dos supermercados e mantidos a uma temperatura de - 12 ºC, que posteriormente foram enxugados com papel toalha e pesados. Em seguida as amostras foram descongeladas e, após, foram pesadas novamente, obtendo assim os pesos iniciais e finais. As marcas B, C e D estão dentro dos padrões permitidos de retenção de água, conforme a técnica do “Drip Test”. As marcas A, E e F apresentaram valores acima do permitido pela legislação. Os resultados obtidos no presente estudo indicaram que é necessário uma melhor fiscalização e controle por parte dos órgãos responsáveis e das empresas na etapa de resfriamento das carcaças

Optimasi Portofolio Resiko Menggunakan Model Markowitz MVO Dikaitkan dengan Keterbatasan Manusia dalam Memprediksi Masa Depan dalam Perspektif Al-Qur`an

Risk portfolio on modern finance has become increasingly technical, requiring the use of sophisticated mathematical tools in both research and practice. Since companies cannot insure themselves completely against risk, as human incompetence in predicting the future precisely that written in Al-Quran surah Luqman verse 34, they have to manage it to yield an optimal portfolio. The objective here is to minimize the variance among all portfolios, or alternatively, to maximize expected return among all portfolios that has at least a certain expected return. Furthermore, this study focuses on optimizing risk portfolio so called Markowitz MVO (Mean-Variance Optimization). Some theoretical frameworks for analysis are arithmetic mean, geometric mean, variance, covariance, linear programming, and quadratic programming. Moreover, finding a minimum variance portfolio produces a convex quadratic programming, that is minimizing the objective function ðð¥with constraintsð ð 𥠥 ðandð´ð¥ = ð. The outcome of this research is the solution of optimal risk portofolio in some investments that could be finished smoothly using MATLAB R2007b software together with its graphic analysis

Search for heavy resonances decaying to two Higgs bosons in final states containing four b quarks

A search is presented for narrow heavy resonances X decaying into pairs of Higgs bosons (H) in proton-proton collisions collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC at root s = 8 TeV. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb(-1). The search considers HH resonances with masses between 1 and 3 TeV, having final states of two b quark pairs. Each Higgs boson is produced with large momentum, and the hadronization products of the pair of b quarks can usually be reconstructed as single large jets. The background from multijet and t (t) over bar events is significantly reduced by applying requirements related to the flavor of the jet, its mass, and its substructure. The signal would be identified as a peak on top of the dijet invariant mass spectrum of the remaining background events. No evidence is observed for such a signal. Upper limits obtained at 95 confidence level for the product of the production cross section and branching fraction sigma(gg -> X) B(X -> HH -> b (b) over barb (b) over bar) range from 10 to 1.5 fb for the mass of X from 1.15 to 2.0 TeV, significantly extending previous searches. For a warped extra dimension theory with amass scale Lambda(R) = 1 TeV, the data exclude radion scalar masses between 1.15 and 1.55 TeV
