"Tutto il mondo è paese" (Ps, VI). Riflessi risorgimentali nei "Promessi sposi"

Nei "Promessi sposi" Manzoni affronta allusivamente la questione risorgimentale rappresentando situazioni e sentimenti attribuibili all'oppressione austriaca. La descrizione dei mali della dominazione spagnola offre, per contrario, al lettore i requisiti necessari a uno stato moderno. Nel romanzo i protagonisti, non realizzando queste aspettative nel loro paese natale, cercano altrove una terra accogliente

«L’umanesimo della parola». Studi di italianistica in memoria di Attilio Bettinzoli

By remembering Attilio Bettinzoli with this collection of essays, the intent of friends and colleagues is to recognize the legacy of knowledge and affectionate memories that he left in those who attended him in his intellectual excursions. His entire life was dedicated to literature and teaching, with a fine critical spirit and with joyful curiosity, both on the academic side as a refined reader – in the footsteps of Vittore Branca and exploring paths ranging from Boccaccio, Poliziano, Ficino, Pico and Iacopo Sannazaro up to the poets of the twentieth century, with a predilection for Rebora – and in poetic writing, along an existential line interpreted with dense and suggestive poetic collections that accompany the path of investigation into twentiethcentury poetry in friendly and esteemed voices such as those of Eugenio Montale, Emilio Cecchi, Giovanni Boine, Camillo Sbarbaro, Cristina Campo, Giorgio Caproni and Giorgio Vigolo, often assigned to students as a topic in numerous theses, to attest to research constantly linked to teaching. These are also the thematic and conceptual lines on which the essays offered by colleagues and students move, in a small sign of friendship and gratitude for the path shared over the years

Transaction management across data stores

Companies have evolved from a world where they only had SQL databases to a world where they use different kinds of data stores, such as key­value data stores, document­oriented data stores and graph databases. The reason why they have started to introduce this diversity of persistency models is because different NoSQL technologies bring different data models with associated query languages and/or APIs. However, they are confronted now with a problem in which they have the data scattered across different data stores. This problem lies in that when a business action requires to update the data, the data reside in different data stores, and they are subject to inconsistencies in the event of failure and/or concurrent access. These inconsistencies appear due to the lack of transactional consistency that was guaranteed in traditional SQL databases but is not guaranteed either within the NoSQL data stores or across data stores and databases. CoherentPaaS comes to remedy this need. CoherentPaaS provides an ultra­scalable transactional management layer that can be integrated with any data store with multi­ versioning capabilities. The layer has been integrated with six different data stores, three NoSQL data stores and three SQL­like databases. In this paper, we describe this generic ultra­scalable transactional management layer and focus on its API and how it can be integrated in different ways with different data stores and databases

A scalable SIEM correlation engine and its application to the Olympic Games IT infrastructure

The security event correlation scalability has become a major concern for security analysts and IT administrators when considering complex IT infrastructures that need to handle gargantuan amounts of events or wide correlation window spans. The current correlation capabilities of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), based on a single node in centralized servers, have proved to be insufficient to process large event streams. This paper introduces a step forward in the current state of the art to address the aforementioned problems. The proposed model takes into account the two main aspects of this ?eld: distributed correlation and query parallelization. We present a case study of a multiple-step attack on the Olympic Games IT infrastructure to illustrate the applicability of our approach

Assessment of Botulinum a Toxin High Affinity SV2 Receptors on Normal Human Urothelial Cells.

The clinical use of Botulinum A toxin (BoNT/A) is based on its ability to block the vesicular release of Acetilcholine (Ach) and other neurotransmitters at the level of the neuronal plasmatic membrane. This process requires the internalization of the neurotoxin within the target cell, what it happens by means of the binding with high affinity receptors. These receptors are the synaptic vesicle proteins type 2 (SV2). To date three different types of SV2 receptors have been identified in synaptic structures and endocrine tissues

Contro l'ordine napoleonico: l'allegoria "oscura" dei "Sepolcri"

Foscolo nei "Sepolcri", utilizzando il codice allusivo affermatosi nel genere teatrale, si serve del mito greco per alludere in modo criptico alla realtà contemporanea e, in particolare, alle tragiche vicende della Repubblica Partenopea
